Abstract

This study clarifies the structure of the organized mobilization of student audiences with the film Tokyo Olympiad and attempts to reveal how the Japanese government was involved in the formation of the national identity of postwar generation through the film’s distribution process. As the mass mobilization project gradually materialized, the government desired to promote nationalism amongst the postwar generation, superseding the original intention to recoup the production cost. This change induced governmental intervention toward the artistic expression of cinema. It was observed that the method of mobilization of students and the governmental interruption were far from postwar democracy.

摘要

本研究通过电影《东京奥林匹克》阐明了学生观众有组织的动员结构，并试图揭示日本政府如何通过电影的发行过程参与战后一代民族认同的形成。随着群众动员计划的逐步落实，政府希望在战后一代中宣扬民族主义，取代了收回生产成本的初衷。这种变化引发了政府对电影艺术表现的干预。据观察，动员学生和政府干预的方法与战后民主相去甚远。
