This week's keyword: Rebel
Here are some explaination from the lecture to explain this keyword in detail:
So the prosperity of the 19 fifties that recover the prosperity of the 19 fifties, which supported by such poetic or choices of the US ALL Provisional Government. And once war criminals of Japan during World War II. This is a very pragmatic political situation that Muslim RDA and either some people went against. So my son, but I don't Rebel. Rebel, Rebel is today's keyword because he challenged the post-war, post-World War Two filmmaking in Japan, as well as the post-World War Two political surroundings. To query the court environments. Chapin. So he was not satisfied with just making films. In their recovered Japanese film industry. He challenged the political and economic conditions of Japan at that time. And he thought even those people who challenged the Hollywood ways of filmmaking, like Kurosawa was miserable cheat, we're not doing enough. Okay? So this is a quote from a Passover down. It is not true that there was no democracy before the war.
