Rising Sun
Recently I have been watching several of Sean Connery’s older movies. I just finished “Rising Sun.”
The graphics on the DVD cover are so poor that I am certain someon
e must have lost their job over it. Please don’t judge the movie by the atrocious DVD case cover.
This is a really excellent movie starring Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes. It takes place in Los Angeles largely in the mysterious and “shadow world” of Japanese culture and the worldwide corporate culture of high level mergers and acquisitions.
I found this movie very enjoyable, and I recommend it highly. You can rent it or buy the DVD used. Either way this flick is good, cheap entertainment.
One thing I got out of the movie: A certain portion of the American culture is remarkably ignorant, extremely intolerant, xenophobic, and racist/white supremacist. In this movie one scene shows the minority of Japanese people who feel this same sort of superiority regarding Americans and our culture. It got me to thinking. If you look at which country is now manufacturing the highest quality steel, cameras, computers, televisions, and automobiles it certainly is not America.
If you ignore all the wild talk and just look at the actual track record over the last 50 years it is difficult to not conclude that maybe the Orientals like the Japanese and perhaps the Chinese are indeed a good bit smarter and wiser than the Americans.
