Kenneth Diaz Journal Entry 7

Both “Bust the Axis” and “Momotar no Umiwashi” are World War II propaganda films that attempted to promote morale and condemn the enemy. In “Bust the Axis,” the antagonist is depicted as a faceless, terrifying force with no distinct traits. They are portrayed as robotic, machine-like entities with no feeling or compassion who exist just to harm the Allies. This presentation perpetuates the negative impression of the opponent as cold and cruel, devoid of personality or uniqueness.
