I'm not so sure. Certainly it is a lurid film but his original intention was to make a documentary and there are cultural differences to take into account. I mean, an equally graphic film account of the Poland concentration camps would never be acceptable in Western cinema in this form, we can only accept such footage if presented as pure documentary.
The sensationalised style of presentation doesn't necessarily inform the intent of the director imo. Just my opinion though... I can see what you are saying too.
I learnt about Unit 731 long before seeing the film... history is one of my other passions.

Aha sorry. I thought I saw an Asian thread too.
