Movie Yasukuni Rejected Showing in Tokyo

First Japanese Diet (Congress) members, now the movie theaters. Four scheduled showing of documentary Yasukuni in Tokyo has been called off. First there is a theater in Shinjuku canceled the showing scheduled in April, now three others also follow the suits. It should be no surprising to anyone, as there is a high possibility followed a negative response from some diet members.

Now the issue is Then What? After the movie's premier at this year's Sundance, it generated little publicity. Now because of the last minute cancellations, all in a sudden, the news fly around, even Yahoo Japan picked it among the top news. From the controversy and interests it stirs up, I won't be surprised the movie may land in the U.S. first and then exported to Japan.

Is the movie really biased? We have to wait for its showing and then make a judgment.
