Recently oppenheimer had been released in Japan and some viewers are speaking out how it made them feel offended. I've watched part of it since it's a long movie and my ADHD mind won't focus too long I tend to take breaks in-between long movies.
What do you guys think? I think even though war is brutal and just inhumane I don't think we should shy away from the truth. We can use the past misfortune to help create a better tomorrow by learning from mistakes.

I’m not sure what the nature of their offense is, it probably varies from person to person, but I remember thinking it was somewhat of an omission that the film does not portray the actual atomic attacks and/or their aftermath. There’s only really one scene where the effects are sort of implied but the victims are not Japanese, it’s an American audience in some auditorium where he’s giving a talk and his guilt and intrusive thoughts are getting the better of him. This was probably a good opportunity for Nolan to have put Japanese people in the film, but I understand that it was beside the points he was making. |
