I can't think of movies to suggest right now but If you haven't seen it already I highly recommend Amazon's pilot episode of The Man in the High Castle. The only downside is that there won't be any other episodes for a year. I think you'll really enjoy it though.
>Based on Philip K. Dick's award-winning novel, and executive produced by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner), The Man in the High Castle explores what it would be like if the Allied Powers had lost WWII, and Japan and Germany ruled the United States.
Watch episode 1 here: http://www.amazon.com/Man-High-Castle/dp/B00RSGFRY8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421554066&sr=8-1&keywords=man+in+the+high+castle
Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo
If you've never been there, honestly you should see it.
Yasukuni truly is a bizarro world time warp place where "Japan did nothing wrong™ in WW2" and may have even won the war, technically.
It's an ultra-Japanese-nationalist place. It's really really hard to explain how extreme it is.
In terms of /u/BombBurper's comment, they describe the "Rape of Nanking" as the "The Nanking Incident". Similarly the invasion of Manchuria (much of which is now Korea) in a very soft-pedaled, almost glowing, sanitized words.
Certainly there is indeed more than enough to incite Korean and Chinese ultra-nationalists to exactly what /u/BombBurper says. He's completely right that this could happen. It's that far extreme a place.
Anyone who visits Tokyo should visit it just to see what 1930s-1940s Imperial Japan must have been like. Be aware, it will be a very uncomfortable experience because of the dystopian alternative reality nature of it.
It's easy to watch a movie like "The Man in a High Castle" and not really feel the significance or terror of the story because you know it's just a made up story.
Yasukuni is like you really are in a true story. Because it did really happen but it's an alternative reality place where Japan did win.
Edit: actually visit Yasukuni, and then watch The Man in a High Castle!!
Go forth my Amazonian brethren and watch The Man in the High Castle! because I would like to see more of it. Make sure to vote afterwards. Alternate history WW2 where USA loses. I enjoyed it
