I didn’t anticipate any violence, not in Tokyo, a place so peaceful that some police officers are armed with wooden sticks instead of guns. But watching the game in the company of Koreans, I figured I’d sense how much they resented Japan, of which I am also a citizen. ....
TOKYO At 8 p.m., the bright billboards in Tokyo’s bustling Shibuya district went dark. A large truck with red and white lettering drove past, reminding people a state of emergency was in effect. No one paid much attention. At a nearby smoke-filled bar, servers squeezed between a packed crowd of tipsy, mostly unmasked patrons. The screens were tuned to the kickoff of the all-important Olympic soccer semifinals between Japan and Spain. As the teams took the field, bar-goers got ready to toast the goals, drown the losses and drink to everything in between.

미국 아카데미상 수상작인 알렉스 기브니 감독의 다큐멘터리 은 미국 트럼프 정부의 코로나19 방역 실패의 과정과 이유를 다루고 있다. 과학에 정치가 개입하면서 얼마나 많은 사람들이 죽고, 경제가 무너졌는지 파헤치고 있다. 이 영화에서 한국은 미국과 대비되는 모범사례 로 대비된다. 영화에서 타이슨벨 박사는 미국이 진단 키트 조차 사용하지 못하고 있을때, 이미 이를 대량생산해서 진단 검사를 하고 있었던 한국이 부러웠다고 고백한다.
