Flowers of War
Get it a Amazon
While Adam and Micky were in Los Angeles for her art show, Adam met a friend of theirs who is an architect in Beijing. Since he lived in China, Adam asked him why there are trumped up, government sponsored protests in China about the the disputed occupation of some islands by Japan. He was told that the Chinese resentment of the Japanese was recently heightened due to the release of the film Flowers of War starring Christian Bale. Adam was fascinated that the mind control in this case came through media. Now this movie is on Adam and John’s must watch list!

Why is it “mind control” when a movie about the savagery of the Japanese in WW2 comes out? Recently, Japan has been trying to deny the atrocities they committed, but, hopefully, China and the rest of the world will never forget them.
