This Bloody Blundering Business is a half-hour documentary film released in 1971. It examines the American occupation of the Philippines, following the Spanish–American War. The film is characterized by its ragtime music combined with dramatically understated revelations of the attitudes of the Americans towards the native Filipinos.

Synopsis

According to the film, the Americans came to the Philippines for one reason: to civilize the people. William McKinley's Benevolent assimilation was, he said, a way to educate and civilize their "little brown brothers", the Filipinos, and leave the country once it is ready to handle its own government.

Un documentaire soulignant, à travers des images d'archives et des témoignages, les enjeux et les attitudes contradictoires des témoins de la guerre du Viêtnam. Le titre vient directement d'un discours du président Lyndon Johnson qui déclara, en tentant de justifier l'envoi de soldats au Viêtnam, que l'ultime victoire ne se gagnerait qu'avec le cœur et l'esprit des hommes qui vivent là-bas.

In the First World War the Japanese fought on the same side as the British and captured German soldiers who were fighting in Asia. They were treated well, even, following an Imperial Order of 1882, 'as guests'. The question arises: "How could the Japanese behave with such kindness towards their prisoners in World War I and then, less than thirty years later, act with such cruelty?"
