Angelina Jolie was named an honorary dame by Queen Elizabeth II this year for her humanitarian efforts, but right-wing nationalists groups in Japan are labeling the director a racist. The Society for the Dissemination of Historical Fact is claiming that Jolie’s upcoming WWII drama Unbroken inaccurately depicts Japanese prison camps and should be considered “immoral.”

Unbroken is a biopic of Olympic runner Louis Zamperini, who was a crew member on a warplane that crashed in the Pacific in May 1943 and drifted in a raft for 47 days before being intercepted by a Japanese warship. The film depicts the torture he endured during his two years in a Japanese prison camp, and in one controversial scene, Imperial officer Mutsuhiro Watanabe beats Zamperini with his own hands.

Japanese pop star Miyavi, who portrays Watanabe in the film, told Vanity Fair earlier this year that the role was extremely difficult for him.

“It was awful torture for me to hate the other actors. I had to have hatred for them. When I had to beat them, I had to think about protecting my family. At the same time, I didn’t want to be just a bad guy. I wanted to put humanity in this role. (Mutushiro) was both crazy and sadistic, but also weak and traumatized.”

Jolie took the scene where Zamperini is beaten by Watanabe straight out of Laura Hillenbrand’s biography of the same name, and even though the biography was based on Zamperini’s own account, Hiromichi Moteki, the secretary general of the Society for the Dissemination of Historical Fact, told London’s Telegraph that “it’s pure fabrication.”

“If there is no verification of the things he said, then anyone can make such claims,” said Moteki. “This movie has no credibility and is immoral.”

Individuals in Japan are calling for their government to ban Jolie from entering the country in the future.
