Quotation
Quote by Norimasa Kaeriyama
Although Japanese producers possess this unique and splendid land called Japan, they do not make a single film aimed for overseas. Isn’t it a colossal loss that they let it be stolen from them by the hands of foreigners?

Understanding this quote
The speaker says Japanese producers have a valuable home country and criticizes them for not making even one film intended for audiences abroad. Calling this a “colossal loss” presents the situation as a missed opportunity: foreigners benefit from Japan’s distinctive setting and culture instead of Japanese producers sharing it themselves. “Stolen” is forceful language for that perceived loss.
