Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Pigs and Battleships is a 1961 film by Shohei Imamura.It is about the seamy underbelly of life in Japan. 16 years after Japan's defeat in World War II and nine years after the end of the formal American occupation, the seaport of Yokosuka remains an important American naval base. (It still is today.) Directly adjoining the naval base is a red light district that caters to American sailors, specifically by getting them drunk and guiding them to filthy brothels for sex with local prostitutes. The American presence in the town fuels local criminal activity, both in the sex trade and in the illegal black market sale of American military goods.The protagonists are a young man named Kinta and his girlfriend Haruko. Kinta is the most junior member of the Himori yakuza gang. The Himori gang is a low-level unit specializing in penny-ante activities like extorting local shopkeepers and running the aforementioned filthy brothels. They also are branching into black market food, running a pig farm with pigs that they feed with the garbage and scraps from the American naval base. Haruko works her family's grungy little bar, but her sleazy mother is putting pressure on her to become the kept woman of an American businessman named Gordon.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Things start getting serious when Kinta has to help dispose of the body of a rival that gang leader Himori killed. The gang pressures Kinta to be the fall guy for the murder if necessary, and Kinta reluctantly agrees. Meanwhile Haruko, who is very unenthusiastic about becoming an American's mistress and wants a better life, pressures Kinta to go straight and get a real job. | |

As You Know: Kinta makes sure to refer to Sakiyama the Japanese-American as "that Japanese-American, Sakiyama." Sakiyama is the middleman hooking up the Himori gang with scraps to feed the pigs. | |

Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster!: Averted. Not only are all the gangsters bumbling morons, they all die undignified deaths. A gutshot Kinta crawls into a women's bathroom and dies with his head in the toilet, and the rest of the gang are trampled to death by pigs. | |
