Nippon chinbotsu AKA Japan Sinks with English subs 1973
This is the original 1973 film adaptation of the popular science fiction
novel by Komatsu Sakyo, Nihon Chinbotsu. The scale of the disaster and
the uniqueness of the implications has never before been matched by any
film (except for probably the remake). Here's why: Nihon Chinbotsu is
very simply about Japan Sinking in to the ocean. With great eruptions
of volcanos and tremendous earthquakes, the homeland of the Japanese
will completely disappear along with their factories, landscapes,
cherry blossoms, cultural artifacts, and the homes and lives of
millions. And none of these things can be rebuilt. The Japanese do not
rise out of the ashes with a will to reconstruct their nation, the
Japanese do not find hope in the rubble, there is nothing. The homeland
is lost forever and the Japanese will have to live amongst people they
have no ties with, in a culture foreign and a language unknown, amongst
hatred with the label of a refugee forever.
You can clearly see that this movie is not the traditional disaster
flick. If you just want to see exciting heroics and special effects,
this movie will not deliver.
But the movie makes up for it in substance. The story, the characters,
the despair, is all believable. The questions raised such as, "Are the
Japanese worth saving once they've lost all their economic power?". And
because the story takes place in Japan, of course the people also begin
to consider dying with their homes.
It's definitely a must watch especially if you've seen the recent 2006 remake or don't have time to read the book.
Very nice quality WIDESCREEN print in original Japanese WITH English subtitles. This is also the UNCUT 140 minute print.
