Bombs over Burma is a film, directed by Joseph H. Lewis, based on the theme of the war on the Mainland of Asia between Allies and Japan. World war II is considered one of the most violent armed conflicts that inflicted humankind's history. The film beings with a glimpse of the classroom, which suddenly turns into terrible scenes as Japanese planes assaulted the place and took innocent lives. The young Chinese school teacher who was part of Allies' representatives presented determinants to protect Burma's supply line. The dead body of her student in her arms strengthened her mission against Japanese atrocity and massacre. Later on, she reveals the traitor who was involved in leaking the information to the Japanese and behind the surprise attack on Burma road line that was must be kept open for the Allies troop convoys during world war II (Lewis). This film offers a fascinating glimpse into what the prospective Hollywood industry adopted regarding the conflict in Asia and analyses the propaganda portrayed by the Hollywood film industry behind the violent act of bombing over Burma. Besides, it focuses on the message conveyed in the film.
Chinese Are Innocent
From Hollywood's perspective, China was an innocent country that was only retaliating to the Japanese invasion. It was the most prominent country in Asia and had excellent links with its neighbor countries. It was one of the Allies groups during World War II.

Americans: The Warriors
This film portrays America as a valiant and righteous opponent by depicting brotherhood between China and America as part of the Allies group. Since America owns Hollywood, it was evident that it has to highlight America's positive aspect without being reluctant to use propaganda (Lewis). There were some critically negative aspects of these Allies' endeavors, which are not shown in the movie. Since the prior level of the war, America was aiding China against Japan.

It shows cross-racial unity during the period of war that drew Americans close to China. Both these countries were involved in protecting China's national survival road line of Burma. Since for America, Burma road line was the key to kept china fight against Japan. As Japan began its operation in Burma, America assist...
