Are the distributors of Oppenheimer so tone deaf & greedy that they didn't see this coming? How many ticket sales do they really expect to profit from?

Japan was defeated, occupied, and then politically, economically and socially reformed. Unfortunately, this humbling and humiliating re-education will continue as long as there is 'Pearl Harbor'. Hollywood might even consider a remake of the 2001 movie for its centenary commemoration in 2041. Perhaps the talented Sir Christopher Edward Nolan CBE will be interested in making this into another Award-winning billion dollar documentary film?

Totally... it's like, how much do we have to twist the knife?? We frickin won, so give it a rest already. I think the saddest interview in the article above was the kid saying something like "The movie showed me that the American perspective is that the bomb was a good thing."

Truth be told, I think most Americans do believe the bomb was a good thing, and that it was necessary to "save lives" or whatever propaganda the movie pushes. Welp... I guess the winner always gets to rewrite history.

Coming soon... Sir Nolan's documentary on how "the slaves benefited from slavery" 😬

At any rate, these interviews confirmed everything I needed to know about this movie. My heart goes out to the Japanese people who have to deal with this stab at a sore wound. The people in the interviews handled it with way more tact than I would've. Imagine if Afghanistan made a film celebrating Osama Bin Laden and released it in New York City.

BBC: Oppenheimer has just been released in Japan - So what do people in Hiroshima think?

i hope you got the news that at first it wasnt let go through by the japanese government but that they came back on their decision?

No I didn't hear about that, but I'm glad. It gave the Japanese people the freedom to see it for themselves and see how Hollywood is cashing in on their darkest time.

I hope at least someone at Universal Pictures looked at the flop in Japan and maybe took a moment to figure out why.
