Title: EXCELLENT PORTRAYAL OF SEVERAL TRUTHS
Review: "BLACK BELT" is a well-done film which reminds viewers of several important historical and martial arts facts. One, the complete and utter barbarism demonstrated through the rise of Japanese militarism during the late 1930s and 1940s. Two, the physical effectiveness of karate techniques and how they can be misused - even after years of serious training by a practitioner. And lastly, the transcendant power of man's inner morality - a trait which always triumphs over evil.The martial techniques are realistic as are the conflicting attitudes shown by the main characters. This is a great movie for both the martial arts enthusiast and the person with a budding interest in the history of the period.
