Battlestar Didactica, or Who Beat Whom?

Considering they defeated Japan in WWII (it says so in and Donnie wouldn't lie...), you'd think China would finally give this dead horse a rest.

But nooooo... Saw this at Filmart: It's 2009. Which means it's ridiculous.

China's constant blather about Japan (rabid nationalism is just a cheap pressure valve for energy that would otherwise go into criticizing the government) reminds me of listening to people from the South carry on about the American Civil War.

Except they lost.

China ended up on the winning side. Japan lost, got its ass kicked, irradiated, occupied, put on trial, and was forcibly acculturated away from the very things that allowed some people in their government to go on that weird Pan-Asian Class Trip of the Damned. Trust me, they've paid for their mistakes.

News flash: whatever happened since 1945 in China is not Japan's fault.

Of course, we're not allowed to say whose fault it is...

Japan had, to quote Denis Leary, nuclear f@#$ing weaponsdropped on them, and they don't seem to harbor a very big case of the @ssagainst the US or China.The Rape of Nanking isn't still giving people's descendents cancer.

I have yet to meet a Japanese person who has anyopinion of China, much less a negative one.

I can't say the reverse is true...

And don't hand me that line about Japanese revisionism in their textbooks. No, it isn't right, but it sure as hell isn't unique, either. Apparently, according to some sources, those two atomic bombs were just super-duper fireworks dropped by the US in appreciation for China defeating Japan for us.

Maybe now that they've made Super Typhoon, China's next big disaster film could be based on historical fact and be called Apocalypse Mao.
