[KineJapan] Right wing cinema

[Peter Larson]

Dick,

My feeling as well. Have you found that there is any link between studio
ownership/funding and rightist film production? I'll be interested to read
your work.

An aside: A friend of mine (gaijin) was in Pride (1998) and can be seen
displaying his middle finger clearly in one of the court room scenes.

Pete
