You in Japan
Department of Defense. Department of the Army. Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations. U.S. Army Audiovisual Center. (ca. 1974 - 05/15/1984)
ARC Identifier 2569623 / Local Identifier 111-TV-354. A pictorial report of Japan in 1957.
I was born in 1951 to an AF pilot who had served in Europe. His subsequent career was largely in Japan, so a large part of my childhood was spent there from 1953- 1965. I'm loving this.
Man I love this old documentaries (not sure what they are called) bet if my father is still around he will be binge watching this..
yeah me too, btw i like your profile pic is that shad base
I'd call them propaganda films, and I don't mean that to be negative.
My dad was part of the occupation force..civil engineers..
17:45 "And in the bookshops crowded with people eager for knowledge and culture."
Shows a guy browsing through Manga. XD
That's hilarious! And true!
Well ... what manga?
アメリカの寛大な支援と協力に感謝しています。
Whata Kountry !
I love it !
I used to think that the Japanese armed forces existed to fight giant reptiles, LOL.
Giant reptiles are actually representations of the horrors they suffered in WWII. I know about the horrors they caused, of course. The thing is: almost all of those who caused were not in Japan when they were bombed.
Be sure to see the New GODZILLA out December 1st 2023 🇯🇵🇺🇸
2:01 I never knew that sailors were allowed to bring their family members on board the ship....
azntranc3951 We were allowed aboard our father’s ship when in port, USS St Paul.
from time to time, they still let families do it. Its usually a route from two domestic ports, like Hawaii to San Diego or San Diego to Seattle
My favourite two young powe full country
8:50 the background music is the Nation Anthem of Republic of China (Taiwan)
Those were not families of saliors, but military dependents of persons being stationed in japan.
I was one of them!
Like to see this colorized
Thank you! Ron PTL USA
PTL FOM
Hopalong Kamamoto - that's my rap name.
at 0:50 great opportunity to travel to far off lands. reminds me of the old t-shirts from the 80s. travel to exotic distant lands, meet strange new people and kill them
Nice piece of nostalgia. Interesting to note that no mention is made of observing the rule of the road. Japanese drive on the opposite side of the road et to the USA ie as in the UK! As transport would have cost next to nothing for someone to drive you around, I doubt servicemen would have driven themselves unless it was for work. Also early days dictated little or no fraternization as in Germany, by allied / occupying; troops. 👀👍
At 5:25 - I'll take that Hudson convertible any day :)
which model is it?
55?
what car is it?
I know your question is 2 years old but I think it's probably a Toyopet. The precursor to the Toyota.
worrying willie, paradise pete, LMAO
7:19 Guess thats a plane?
I was born in Japan in 1956 just one year prior to the release of this movie. For better or worse, Japan in 1957 was really Japan if compared with today`s Japan. And, from the viewpoint of today`s Japanese male, Japanese women in this film looked very feminine and submissive. No wonder many American servicemen were crazy about Japanese girls.
My dad faught in ww2.... he told me a lot of infonthat does not vibe with PROPAGANDA
All those men really UNDERSTAND is a real jop bride .and a hot meal .O yaw a real hot bath with a real Jop girl 🇺🇸🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶.
Should've made one of these for Blackwater over on Iraq 50 years later.
Would've gone a long way to earn respect by showing respect, instead of reaping affront by sowing arrogance and disregard for a foreign culture....
''f@#& the rest of the world''.:)
I've seen some staged propaganda before, this one is due to the narrating a bit slimy. 😂
Great indoctrination film.
yes indoctrinated into enjoying a tour of japan lol
If you think this is indoctrination you have been indoctrinated.
Dude this is literally just "hey this is how they do things over here don't fuck around lol"
They are trying to make Japan look like a poor developing nation and why are all the sailors traveling together they're bassicly all co-workers to each other.
"Japanese industry is far ahead of the rest of Asia and ranks with the leading industrial powers of the world."
"The Japanese have worked hard building and repairing highways and the good ones rank with the best of our country"
This is 1957. They show the more modern and the more traditional aspects of the country which and give a fairly accurate picture of the 50s. Not the bombed-out ruins of the occupation period but not yet the level of prosperity of the 1960s. They show poor farms but also a rich central Tokyo. Yet somehow you feel this is an attempt to make Japan look like third world country?
Furthermore, why wouldn't they be traveling together? Most of the enlisted are probably there with no family and are only acquainted with each other. Furthermore. only one is wearing a sailor's uniform so the sailors are not in fact traveling together.
@@Spaghetter813 agreed. A third world country won't be depicted as industrial, crafty, and active as this Japan
One thing i noticed in Japan is no tolerance for crime of any description. Theres even vending machines out on the street. In the west they would be broken into or vandalized
