I am currently watching an old Japanese movie on the free movie channel site tubitv.com. It’s called (in English) Virus (Day of Resurrection) and it dates from the early 1980s, if not earlier. A horrible virus is released on the world (in this case, originating from a research lab in Leipzig, East Germany) and some of the survivors are on a submarine in the Antarctic. The Japanese newspaper headlines are some of the headlines that are being used in Japan today– for example, 新型ウイルス. (“New type of virus”). There are even “newspaper reports” of “high fatality rates” in Italy! The cast includes notable American actors such as Olivia Hussey, George Kennedy, Glenn Ford, and Chuck Connors. The theme song is sung by Janis Ian. It’s mostly in English, but not subtitled, so if you need any help with the Japanese (or even German), let me know.

I showed the opening credits and bits of the movie to one of my ESL students, and she recognized a lot of the Japanese names, even though she was born after the movie came out. She was really amazed at how some of the events in that 40-year-old movie mirrored events of today. At least Tokyo has fared relatively well during all this, no decomposing bodies in the streets so far!
