Movie #1252 (#70 this year): Ichiban utsukushiku (1944,Akira Kurosawa)
It was easy enough to make an anti-war movie in 1946 but what was Kurosawa up to in 1944? Well, he was making this propaganda movie. But, to his credit, not a very good one. The main problem: where is the enemy? A good propaganda movie must show the enemy as a bunch of devils. But here they're not even mentioned.
The Chinese made better propaganda movies than this: check out "Train 12" or "The Lettuce".
