Viewers are divided over whether the film should have shown Japanese victims of the weapon created by physicist Robert Oppenheimer. Experts say it’s complicated.

    Agreed, but that is not what the movie is about.

    He did say (no one knows what he believed) that just having the bomb would mean world peace…

          Look up most of the contemporary US pacific command saying the bombings were unnecessary. I know Asian people are just ants to people like you but Jesus, the pathetic rationalizations.

            Ants is a pretty apt comparison to Japanese culture at the time. All expected to become soldiers and die for the hive. Seriously, shit was crazy. They were not going to surrender otherwise.

            Firebombings were daily killing more than the bombs did as well.

              Okay, thank you for proving my point and admitting you’re a virulent racist so publicly.

          You can’t use a weapon on a nation, you can only use a weapon on a nation’s population.
