Angelina Jolie's second world war biopic Unbroken accused of racism over portrayal of Japanese guards

Conservatives in Japan have accused Angelina Jolie’s second world war biopic Unbroken of racism, with some calling for both the film and director to be banned from the country.Nationalist campaigners say the film’s version of Japanese guards is 'deeply misleading', the Daily Telegraph reported, and claim that the details of the treatment of POWs are a "complete fabrication".Unbroken is based on the life story of American Olympic runner and US Air Force second lieutenant Louis Zamperini, which was told in the 2010 book Unbroken: A World War II story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption, by Laura Hillenbrand.Zamperini, portrayed by Jack O’Connell in Jolie’s film, was beaten and mistreated by the Japanese navy between July 1943 and the end of the war in August 1945 after being captured near the Marshall Islands.The book and film both describe how Zamperini was tormented by prison guard Mutsuhiro Watanabe, nicknamed the Bird.Watanabe is said to have once forced a weak and starving Zamperini to hold a heavy piece of wood above his head for 37 minutes before punching him in the stomach. The book also accuses the Japanese of engaging in cannibalism of POWs.Hiromichi Moteki, secretary general of the nationalist pressure group the Society for the Dissemination of Historical Fact, told the Telegraph the claims were "pure fabrication".He said: "If there is no verification of the things he said, then anyone can make such claims. This movie has no credibility and is immoral." Mindy Kotler, director of Asia Policy Point, said: "It is outrageous and reprehensible to deny what happened to Louis Zamperini."It will not be something that the US government will be able to ignore. Both the San Francisco Peace Treaty, which is predicated on acceptance of the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal, and the honour of American veterans need to be defended." Miyavi, the Japanese pop star starring as Matsuhiro Watanabe, has previously spoken about the harrowing experience of working on the film, saying that it left him physically sick and unable to stop crying.

Angelina Jolie says Brad Pitt is horrified that their children want to get tattoos

The tattooed Maleficent star revealed her children would like to follow in her footsteps and get inked – much to the annoyance of their father. The couple are parents to six children, six-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, Shiloh, eight, Zahara, nine, Pax, 11 and Maddox, 13. And Angelina revealed they're already starting to display signs of a rebellious streak.She told Radio Times magazine: "My kids rebelling would be if they all became brain surgeons. They're already asking me about tattoos. How do I say 'No'?" The actress-turned-director is thought to have about 17 different designs, including an inscription on her arm which she got just last year, inked all over her body.She revealed she has already told Maddox he could not have a tattoo, but when nine-year-old daughter Zahara also talked about getting them it caused Brad much anxiety."It's especially hard for dads and girls," she said. "For some reason men get a little more sensitive when the daughter gets a tattoo. And Brad thinks the girls can do no wrong. He's mush in their hands!" The 39-year-old told the magazine that she doesn't think her children will go into show business, but if they do they'll have to find a real job at the same time. "I'm hoping that when they see all the other things in the world, they'll be inspired to be writers, politicians, activists. They're very individual people. So I imagine they're not going to follow their mum and dad," she said.Jolie has just finished filming By The Sea, with her husband, who she directs in the movie.The movie is the first that the couple have acted in together since Mr And Mrs Smith in 2005, when they reportedly found love – despite the fact Brad was still in a relationship with Jennifer Aniston.She said of directing her husband: "He's a pretty strong actor! It's going to be interesting. He's a really great artist, such an interesting artist, and of course he's the man I love, so I think we're going to have a great time."
