Japan averages under one murder per hundred thousand people annually, with other violent crimes barely registering. The United States averages 5-6 murders per 100,000 people, per annum. This shows Japan to be one of the least violent countries, since the advent of World War II.
Since the mid 1950's, the movie industry has indoctrinated the Japanese people with the ultimate apocalyptic event. If any country has had disaster preparedness and an extended course in post-traumatic psychology, it is Japan.
Revealing what is believed to be a widespread obsession with national disasters, says one researcher, once you begin looking for disaster-trauma in Japanese films, it is found everywhere.
Beginning with the results of 2 A-bombs being dropped on their country in World War II, the obsession with disaster-trauma is thought to reflect a stoical people who do not fear facing the reality of death and destruction.
The current triple disaster of the world's biggest earthquake, however, followed by a massive tsunami and the fear of a nuclear disaster, with the resulting nuclear fallout, is too much for any nation to deal with, even though the world's third largest economy was well prepared for a massive earthquake.
The hero always wins in the end of the movies, as is seen in:
The plucky little robot warrior; Astro Boy, Gamera, Mothra and their friends, Godzilla.
The original film was based on a real-life incident of the poisoning of a Japanese trawler crew by an American thermonuclear device test near Bikini Atoll.
Grave of the Fireflies and Barefoot Gen refreshed the shock of August 1945 to a younger age group, lest they forget.
Secret government projects, vain and corrupt scientists, including underground biker gangs, reign over Akira, which depicted nightmarish chaos in a dystopian city of the future.
A man who turns into a machine, Tetsuo the Iron Man, with formal disorientation and technological-psychological terror, spawned a rash of techno-Kafka nightmarish pop culture adherents.
Princess Mononoke blended Japanese fairy-tale with myth, highlighting the folly and arrogance of mankind and gives the feeling that the precarious balance of ordinary life is always on the very brink of destruction.
Eureka represents a nation haunted by its traumatic past and paralyzed by horror of the future.
Pulse recalls the nuclear disaster, while weaving in a soul-sucking website that causes people to disappear.
Fish Story presented a mid-70's punk that frees the world from destruction, depicting a Japanese culture that will outlast all destructive forces.
For the last four decades the Japanese people have sat in their cinemas, watching apocalypse after apocalypse on the silver screen, but they always had a hero to the rescue.
There is no system, or government that could ready a people for an apocalypse on the scale that is being played out right now. Movies did not show anywhere near the reality. There can be no hero to the rescue in the real-life, except for the sheer stoicism of the Japanese people themselves.
