- I Want to Destroy America is a documentary film by Peter I. Chang which traces the life of the Japanese musician Hisao Shinagawa through his early years as a folk singer in Tokyo to his current occupation as a street performer in Los Angeles. The film was shot from 2004 to 2006, and provides a unique insight into the influence of Western popular music on the teenage youth culture of 1960s Japan, as well as an inside look at Shinagawa's struggle to survive as a songwriter after losing his recording contract in the 1980s. The title of the film comes from an off-hand comment Shinagawa makes about wanting to destroy the U.S. system. In his review of the DVD release, critic John Wallis notes, "I Want to Destroy America is formatted with Hisao speaking for himself. Interview audio and footage is placed over still and stock footage and the modern footage, some of it fly-on-the-wall, some of it atmospherically staged," and concludes that the film is an "interesting portrait of an outsider artist who has lead an amazing life. Hisao Shinagawa is strange, passionate, and one of those people who lives his life on his own offbeat terms."
- I Want to Destroy America est un film documentaire américain réalisé par Peter I. Chang, qui retrace la vie du musicien japonais Hisao Shinagawa depuis ses premières années en tant que chanteur folk à Tokyo jusqu'à son occupation actuelle comme artiste de rue à Los Angeles. Le film a été tourné de 2004 à 2006. Le film montre l'influence de la musique populaire occidentale sur la culture des adolescents du Japon des années 1960, tout comme un regard intérieur de la lutte de Shinagawa pour survivre comme compositeur après la perte de son contrat d'enregistrement dans les années 1980. Le titre du film vient d'un commentaire désinvolte de Shinagawa qu'il fait à propos de son désire de détruire le système américain.
