A bit review & analysis on "Assasination" movie & its nationalistic take.

Japanese Demons and Crotch Bombs: The Tense State of Asian Cinema

Movies from South Korean, China, and Japan have become increasingly nationalistic, thanks to ongoing territorial disputes and the 70th anniversary of World War II.

In August, the South Korean film Assassination became the year’s biggest box-office hit in the country, surpassing Avengers: Age of Ultron, and taking its place as the eighth highest-grossing domestic film of all time. Assassination has all the hallmarks of a summer blockbuster—plenty of action, star power, a lengthy running time—but it’s also the kind of movie South Korean audiences have gobbled up in recent years. Specifically, it’s a nationalistic period piece where the Japanese serve as the villains.

Assassination takes place in the 1930s, during the Japanese colonial period, and centers around a group of Koreans tasked with killing a Japanese commander and a pro-Tokyo sympathizer. Its success comes at a time when the region has been marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, and when relations between Korea, China, and Japan remain tense, due in part to the latter’s wartime actions. Many in the first two countries say Japan hasn’t shown enough remorse for what it did, especially when it comes to acknowledging the use of sexual slaves known euphemistically as “comfort women.”
