2007 · Film
Released in 2007, Bloody Snake Under the Sun is a notable film directed by Yu Nakai, running about 124 minutes.
What it’s about. The film is based on a true story about an Okinawan sansen (3 stringed guitar) player named Ryo and his experiences growing up in Okinawa in 1968. Ryo meets an American military solider named George, and they discover that they have more similarities than differences. The atmosphere of the film is heavily charged with discrimination and prejudice- Okinawans and Japanese (yes there is a difference-big difference in fact), US military and Japanese/Okinawans, officers and enlisted soldiers- and takes place with echoes of the civil rights movement lingering in the backdrop.
Who’s in it. Bloody Snake Under the Sun stars Shogen, Mitsuki Koga, Aoi Miyazaki and Eri Ishida, among others.
