Half the movie is spent calling the Japanese society and government useless and retarded for their actions in the war.
Needing entire industries to clean their own waters of mines, people being expected to die uselessly in kamikaze attacks, the government being too scared to repel a giant fucking monster because of political implications.
It takes a deliberate bias to ignore that a big allegory of the movie is about them needing to move past their mindsets during the war if they hope to rebuild.
