Besides, it did represent a dream of justice and equality at one time. This
was especially true in N.A. and Europe amongst much of the lower classes and
the working class, post-WW1and into the Depression. (Of course, the dream
was based on an unreasonably idealistic interpretation of the system.)

I spotted the poster for the movie when I was in Osaka on Saturday. The
review suggests I'll be disappointed, but I think I'll go watch it
anyway. I've always been fascinated by Sorge and Ozaki.
