[00:00:00]The importance of Japan, the return to the future. I don't know if you remember, but in part two, in the part, pardon the repetition, set in the future of 2015, the company that the adult Martin McFly works for is owned by a Japanese company, Cusco, if I remember correctly. In fact, if you notice, the twin ties that dear Martin wears form the shape of the rising sun, the quintessential symbol of Japan. This is almost certainly an attempt by Martin to kiss his bosses' asses. However, the film is a mirror of the culture and fears of the time. In fact, the 80s, when the film was shot, was the era of American fear of Japan. If today the great rival is China, at the time it was our dear Japan, feared for its economic and technological rise which seemed almost unstoppable. Back to the Future Part 2. It's a perfect example of this. Fujitsuan, Marti's Japanese boss, is precisely the expression of this economic superiority, a Japanese boss and an American employee. Then there's the whole story of technology, in fact the boss communicates with Martin via TV and fax which at the time of the film were a symbol of technological modernity, then always linked to Japanese technology in part during a scene set in 1955, so only 10 years after the Second World War, Doc analyzes a component of the Deloran and states: "That's why it didn't work". It says Made in Japan, to which Marty, who was born and lives in the 80s, responds, thus highlighting the change in perception and racism.

[00:01:39]And what does that mean, Doc? All the best stuff is made in Japan. This theme of Japanese superiority was a fairly common theme in other works of the time as well, such as Blade Runner, where the dystopian, rainy Los Angeles of 2019 was overrun by Japanese corporations and neon signs, or Alien, which features Wayland Utani, a powerful and ruthless half-Japanese mega-corporation. Yes.
