The Titanic director, who is planning an adaptation of nonfiction book Ghosts of Hiroshima, says Nolan’s film ‘dodged the subject’ of the atomic bomb’s devastating impact on that city

    I don’t understand the west and the comments here. I’m pretty sure a movie would be called anti semetic if it was a Hitler’s Biopic that only focuses on him and not the victims. Somehow killing millions of civilians can be glossed over as long as they are not jews.

      Did you watch the movie? He literally had moral qualms about what he ended up doing. There’s a scene where he’s accepting an award or something and all he can see and hear is the screams of the dying civilians his bombs killed. He got called a pussy by Truman because he felt that guilt. It didn’t go into extreme detail, but it 100% covered it… from the perspective of the person the movie was about.

        Ok? I never said otherwise. I’m talking about the comments saying not everything is about every single thing.

          So you’re pissed that it didn’t cover every thing, but you don’t understand why other people don’t think the same way you do, got it.

    It’s not moral cop-out. The movie is a bio-pic about about Oppenheimer not about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Why is this so hard for people to get.

    I forgot, every movie has to show every aspect of every situation it uses.

    There was a reason the movie was called Oppenheimr, and not Hiroshima, and why the overarching theme was about the political fallout of his career. It was a bio-pic about Oppenheimer. The reason it didn’t go into detail about the literal fallout of the bombs is because that’s not what the movie was about. There’s plenty of documentaries and movies that are about that. If that’s what you want, go watch them.

    Or make (and advertise) them, like Cameron.

      The whole movie is about a man that was so focused on if we could he never thought about if we should and the guilt that comes from learning too late.

    I agree. The whole use of 2 nukes on civilians was just glossed over and just showed the big sad of the man that caused it (which honestly is used a lot in american war movies, “look how sad I am killing these people”) Also the movie itself was messy with bad audio mixing and scene whiplash.
