   This article summarizes the shift in world cinema during World War II. It mentions "The Loyal Forty Seven Ronin" as a huge project for Japanese cinema that failed to capture audiences and was deemed a commerical flop. The poor reception the film received from the highly nationalistic audience at the time, further proves its failure as a morale-boosting war-propaganda film.
