Serling in the 60’s spoke a million times more eloquently than the brightest of the literature professors nowadays. Such a joy to listen to. Not only the very astute observations of the human condition that he often described but more importantly, his confident and intriguing delivery is just superb! 😳😍😍😍
The purpose of hyperbole is for there to be truth to it, which there is none in your case. The reason you feel the way you do is that Serling speaks in a way even you can understand. You just don't want to take the time to understand the professors you "criticize". That also goes for the smooth brains who liked your "analysis".
I think you are minimizing the experiences those men had that fought in WWII. Rod Sterling was a veteran, traumatized of the random deaths he saw occur in Asia in WWII. For him to write about it makes sense. My father fought in the heavy stuff at Guadalcanal. When I was a teenager, asked him about his experiences and he replied there isn't a day that goes by in which I can't forgive myself for what I did to stay alive nor the Japanese solders who turned us into what we became to survive. My father lived the rest of his years withdrawn, silent in contemplation. I believe that in the end, when he was dying it was a relief for him. So what you find amusing and humorous is a nightmare for others and apparently your self absorbed, entitled life makes you ignorant of the psychological impact of war on those asked to fight, kill and die in the name of patriotism. Keep in mind more American soldiers died from suicide after the war in Iraq than those dying in the actual war.
I spoke with big fans of TZ in a discussion in The Fedora Lounge a few years back, and no one knew about it. I have yet to see it myself. Maybe someone will upload it here?
Okay I'm thinking the same thing lve been watching every New Year's Marathon why am I just seeing this one now and the guy from Star Trek really how can I miss that one
This has stayed with me since I saw the original airing all those decades ago. The most memorable line uttered, yet not included in this edit was "the sword will avenge me", uttered by "Arthur" as he translates the inscription on the blade, it created a sense of doom, but for who?
youclaudio Although Takei does not mention that dialog in particular, here is his remembrance of that episode: th-cam.com/video/bA-9iIsAcI0/w-d-xo.html I still maintain the line I quoted- or near to it was in the original, but over the decades snips are done to these great old shows so it may be lost forever.
youclaudio Again I cite these shows were very often mutilated when put into syndication, so the copy you are viewing may have been "pruned" too. If a copy of the original script is around, that's the place to find it. My son bought Star Trek T.O.S. set, and I know of a slew of scenes that were cut in that collection. ☺
I have to agree with a guy who called this episode an interesting failure. The idea that they were both haunted by guilt wasn't sustained, since Arthur was possessed by the sword, his memories were really irrelevant to his actions. It isn't surprising that Japanese-Americans protested the unhistorical stuff about a Japanese-American traitor at Pearl Harbor. There were no Japanese-American traitors at Pearl Harbor or elsewhere, except possibly Iva Toguri, and she may have been framed.
Do you think Mr. Fenton likes beer? Arthur- " I have come to mow the lawn." Mr. Fenton- "O.K., but first have a beer." Arthur- " The door is jammed, I can't get out." Mr. Fenton- " Oh well, better come up and have a beer." Arthur- " I'm going to kill you." Mr. Fenton- " Relax Arthur and have a beer." I love it.
I’ve been watching the twilight zone since I was a teenager in the 70s and on through the years and never knew about this episode until just now. It gave me chills.
In Star Trek, he rejected the samurai sword and went with a fencing foil instead. Trying to break the stereotype. Now I understand where that came from.
I didn't learn about that until the late '90s, after watching him (Reese) every summer morning on TV in the early '70s on the syndicated Laredo. I only remember one movie with him, one of my favorites "D.O.A." (1949) with Edmund O'Brien.
@@kidmack1121 Yes, I remember the "Laredo" show. A great role for neville and a awesome movie in general is " Stalag 17" with William Holden. Of course Brand steals every scene he's in . It's a must watch and one of the 100 greatest films ever made.
@@jaydouglas5847 I don't know why I haven't made it all the way to the end of Stalag 17 (???) And it's been a long time since I've tried. I don't even remember anyone other than Holden. I will look for it thanks. (Yep, I will watch it soon)
I'm generally not a fan of older movies and TV shows. I find that the acting and overall stories are bland and drawn out at best. This show, however, is an exception to the extreme. It is easily one of the greatest shows ever created, not just because the acting is supurb, but in how genius the storytelling is in hiding deep rooted issues of it's time in a scifi setting that allows it to relate to anyone watching. Rod Serling was an absolute genius, far ahead of his time, at a social level, and he was taken from us too soon.
2040: A young man goes to help an old man clean out his attic: Old Man: I came across this 15 years ago. Can you read what it says? Young man: What is it? Old man: It's Donald Trump's toupee. Young man: Hm. Well, it says Made in Russia.
I can see why this was not released back then. The neighbor who lived behind me was a former Japanese Jungle Soldier, he used to call the P-38 Lighting the Twin Forked Devil and was almost killed by one and saw many of his friends strafed to death by them in the war. I also knew a kind old man who lived through WWII at work who absolutely hated the Japanese, even the mention of their race would bring a strong reaction from him. I couldn't imagine a whole nation seeing this on TV and how it would make old vets from both sides feel and react. So yeah not releasing it back then was probably a really good idea, especially after a Japanese killed a War Veteran in his own home in his own attic. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
@@LordGreystoke True but that doesn't mean that it still would have been a bad idea to air it back when it was supposed to be released. There were still a very large population of WWII Veterans who were alive then and have very strong feelings against the Japanese. My old friends one of which I gave an example of. Just my opinion. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
George Takaki will go on to play in Star Trek. This was made in 1964 but wasn't released until later due to content. But Rod Sterling was always trying to tell a moral to the story.
i like this clip. shows how some are treated even though they were born in the usa. WHY couldn't someone with an Asian heritage be named what he's named
We all have our prejudices, and they are challenged every day. That's if one pays attention, and recognizes that one has them. Almost a decade ago, I caught myself giving a second thought to seeing a young Asian couple in the line, with everyone else, waiting for burritos. I gave it a second thought only because it was something I saw for the first time. It wasn't something that I could ever remember seeing at almost 40 years of age, and consuming many Mexican meals. So, sometimes when someone says something "ignorant" like "how come there's black guys playing for Sweden?" I just remember myself, standing in line, probably with my mouth agape, waiting with Chinese kids to enjoy our burritos.
The likely, logical, answer is that if his father was enough of a treasonous fanatic to act as a spy for Imperial Japan and guide Japanese attack planes to their targets while working in Pearl Harbor, he was probably enough of a fanatic to require his son to have an original Japanese name. That's really overstating the obvious...
Guess that's where Vladimir Putin learned his tactics of escorting his political opponents out of 7th story windows. From episodes of the Twilight Zone. Had no idea they were also shown in Russia!
Wow, I forgot about that. Speaking of movies that haven't aged well, The Green Berets is straight-up racist, and sexist! I'd call for its cancellation, but it's funny as hell. John Wayne financed the thing himself, and it bombed at the time. But if it ever shows up on some late night channel where you are, do check it out, if only for a few minutes. It's shockingly awful, but you will be entertained, amused, and appalled. Whether pro or anti-war...
It would have stirred up too many unpleasant feelings and memories to those who served in World War II, since back then it was only 20 years in the past since it ended.
It doesn't say "This sword will avenge me". It says "Adauchi no ken" (sword of vengeance or revenge). I'm surprised it's actually Japanese. They could've put a phony "oriental" looking engraving, since most American viewers wouldn't know the difference.
Yea. The other guy killed an officer who surrender by dropping that sword and stuff then he took it. He lied at first and said the officer tried to kill him but he won
Marc-Andre Blanchard if you look closely, looks like it’s just ptsd and Takei wasn’t holding a sword at all because, Fenton goes to grab it and falls on it, but looks like Takei is trying to pull him away from it by the foot.
"'TWILIGHT ZONE'......has been brought to you by----" **1950's footage of tobacco auctioneer chanting** "THE AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY, on behalf of PALL MALL FAMOUS CIGARETTES!" AUCTIONEER: (ending chant) "SOLD, AMERICAN!"
George Takei, was so damn fine 😍😍😍😍😍 he's so beautiful...oh my gawwwwwwwwwwwsh...wow this scene is powerful. As soon as he picked up that sword..I don't like the racist language, the Caucasian man was using to describe Taro. So rude
Takai said "oh my" when the vet told him he got the sword in a knife fight This wasn't the only "sword" takai has take with pleasure Takai hoped that he would get beamed up when he jumped
Apparently people didn't watch; "Combat!" or "Twelve O'clock High" or "The Rat Patrol" or "Garrison's Gorillas" because everone of these shows were filled with hate for the enemy & used all the slang words for them.
Not sure why this episode was banned. It only depicts the sentiments towards the Japanese of that period, as they were once considered the enemy. It's called "art". Pardon the pun.
Expertly done, though by no means a pleasant story. I wouldn't let my kids watch it. Put it that way. What would be the purpose? there's no way they would understand it.
Interesting clip, since George's family was interned and Neville was a veteran. The glimpses of PTSD were well recognized.
George Takei was pretty good looking back in the day
And the Hollywood pervs jumped on that...
And we all know what

Saw this on New Year's Eve, was a little drunk. Nearly pissed myself laughing when I saw George jump out the window yelling bonzai.
that and when he first picks up the sword and says "im gonna kill him" lol
I can't even blame alcohol. I straight up laughed😂😂
It was «Banzai»! :D

This leaves out hte most important bit, the engraving on the sword said "" the sword will avenge me """
I came here because apparently this episode was banned. What is written on the sword is "討仂の釼", I guess that's pretty close to what you say it means.
I saw this episode last night FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME! And I've been watching the show since it's first run!!!
yea i use to watch this show on syfy alot, and when i recently saw this on netflix i was like what the hell? dont remember this one?!

Serling was superb with his introductions.
TRUE
WWII was still in people's memories and remember what FDR did to those of Japanese heritage and many agreed with it, so this was accurate to the time.
I have to agree with a guy who called this episode an interesting failure. The idea that they were both haunted by guilt wasn't sustained, since Arthur was possessed by the sword, his memories were really irrelevant to his actions. It isn't surprising that Japanese-Americans protested the unhistorical stuff about a Japanese-American traitor at Pearl Harbor. There were no Japanese-American traitors at Pearl Harbor or elsewhere, except possibly Iva Toguri, and she may have been framed.
Except there were at Pearl Harbor and at Niihau.
More likely there were Japanese spies, and not Japanese American traitors. I don't think the Japanese high command would've trusted them anyway

Brand the other actor vs George died 33 years ago … George still around
One of the best episodes of one of the greatest TV series ever.
No longer in syndication, due to its controversial storyline.
Dunno how much of this was acting. George was brought up in an internment camp and Neville survived intense combat in the Second World War.

Did Arthur kill fenton intentionally, or did he fall on sword by accident?
That's the kind of question that The Twilight Zone was so clever at eliciting. Rod Serling was a brilliant guy. These two actors are great too.
Marc-Andre Blanchard if you look closely, looks like it’s just ptsd and Takei wasn’t holding a sword at all because, Fenton goes to grab it and falls on it, but looks like Takei is trying to pull him away from it by the foot.
Neville Brand didn't have a pet crocodile in this one.
