Ep 36: Not A Robot's War on Film - Air Force, 1943

Ep 36: Not A Robot's War on Film - Air Force, 1943

The Not a Robot War on Film Podcast continues their discussions on movies depicting the attack on Pearl Harbor with the problematic 1943 movie Air Force. The film which was shot while WWII was still going on was mostly a propaganda film littered with racism and false claims. Unfortunately, the nostalgia of the silver screen isn't enough to make it passable for today's audiences, but there are still lessons that can be learned. No need to watch it yourself though, grab some popcorn and listen here. 

Today we honor Ben Kuroki, a Japanese American citizen who was the only person of Asian decent to serve in the air force during WWII. Ben served his country at a time when the rest of his fellow Japanese Americans were being sent to internment camps out of (irrational) fear these everyday citizens would betray the United States. Mr. Kuroki faced several obstacles in his path to flight that all centered around vile racism, which movies like Air Force encouraged. Nevertheless Ben became a decorated and respected airman after flying and fighting over Europe, Africa, and Japan. After surviving the war Ben Kuroki went on to become a journalist, earning a degree from Nebraska State where his bequest in journalism lives on today. In 2007 PBS released a spectacular documentary about Ben Kuroki's life called Most Honorable Son. 

Ben sadly passed away in 2015 at the age of 98 leaving behind a great legacy. We salute you, and thank you for your service.

Ep 31: Not A Robot's War on Film - The Trench, 1999

Set-bound in the trenches of WW1, The Trench was a 1999 movie starring Daniel Craig. This mediocre movie depicted a mediocre story about a group of soldiers and their last days before the battle of the Somme in 1916. Regardless of a few cinematic snafus the War on Film Podcast team truly enjoyed talking about this film and we know you will enjoy listening!

My Boy Jack 

written in 1916 

by Rudyard Kipling


"Have you news of my boy Jack?”

    Not this tide.

"When d'you think that he'll come back?"

    Not with this wind blowing, and this tide.


"Has any one else had word of him?"

    Not this tide.

For what is sunk will hardly swim,

    Not with this wind blowing, and this tide.


"Oh, dear, what comfort can I find?"

    None this tide,

    Nor any tide,

Except he did not shame his kind—

    Not even with that wind blowing, and that tide.


Then hold your head up all the more,

    This tide,

    And every tide;

Because he was the son you bore,

    And gave to that wind blowing and that tide!
