ドキュメンタリーが好きです。
学校では日本の学習指導要領に沿って日本視点で第二次世界大戦を習っていると思います。ヨーロッパやアメリカ視点で第二次世界大戦を考えることが出来ました。
って話をオンライン英会話でしたら、「あんた日本人なのに変わってるね」って言われました（笑）
I like documentary films more than entertainment films because I can learn a lot from documentaries. I watched WORLD WAR II FROM THE FRONTLINES, released in 2023. Of course, everyone learns a history of World War II in schools but it is definitely from Japanese aspects. Almost history class teachers would have biases and teachers are supposed to teach the history of World War II alinged to the guidance created by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. I was able to learn the history of World War II from European and American perspective.
Anyway, I thought a thing about a war. An amount of people and weapons and resources is the key success factor of a war. Not only invasion but also colonization requires a much number of people and weapons. Germany, Italy and Japan alliance got success first, but ruling many other countries and attack to additional countries in parallel was quite difficult, obviously. I am wondering why the US was able to produce such huge amount of battleships, airplanes, fighter jets. The US was the white knight in WWII.
I said my thoughts about this topic to the tutor of DMM Eikaiwa. He said "You are different from any other Japanese.", he mentioned that most of Japanese aren't interested in the history of WWII in Europe.
This documentary film uses technologies. The film is created mixed scenes of real films in WWII after remastering to be more beautiful and scenes shot now with damaged effects to make scenes real.
I heard that documentary is one of the killer contents on NETFLIX, but it is not popular genre in Japan.
Thank you for reading. Have a nice day.
