Are those trigger warnings “We deserved it, because we were fucking horrific back then and the only reason we arent talked about in the same breath as nazis is because the US wanted the data we collected while being fucking horrific”?
Somehow, I dont think they will be.
Movie is child’s play compared to grave of fireflies
Is there unease in Manila as Japan refuses to acknowledge the murder of 100,000 US Territorials? Thank god for beautiful Oppenheimer as he stopped the Japanese genocide. Long live the Philippines 🇵🇭.
It has to be such a complex feeling watching this movie as a Japanese citizen.
Unease? I mean, yall kinda started it.
Where was these unease for the horrors the Japanese empire did in mainland Asia?
What the fuck are these comments
Just saying the nuclear bombs used against Japan were horrible, but the empire of japan wasn’t exactly innocent of endless war crimes.
I fell asleep halfway through it.
I flew into Tokyo from Sydney last night and watched it on the plane, after starting with Anyone But You, which is filmed in Sydney.
Just wait until they hear about all the shit Japan did during the war.
Next to the list Japanese war crimes that’s as long as the distance both atomic bombs dropped combined, two nukes are in terms of pure human suffering, a drop in the bucket by comparison.
I found Oppenheimer to be extremely compelling and equally horrifying. It’s been a long time since I’ve had such an emotional response during a movie. I can’t even imagine how it’s going to be received by a Japanese audience.
And, please, don’t bother replying to me with a reminder that Japan’s hands got dirty in WW2 too. It’s completely irrelevant to this opportunity for empathy. The Japanese citizens watching this movie in 2024 had nothing to do with whatever happened in the past.
They don’t like Cillian Murphy or what?
Oppenheimer is wincingly an entitled white guy story told by white guys about white guys celebrating their white guy genius invention to destroy people who aren’t white – without giving the most basic recognition and respect to the people that atomic weaponry annihilated – people who aren’t white. Then they stepped up and collected their white awards for it. It’s awkward and cringey for me to write this. I’m white. But there it is. Right there on big white screens. We’re in the early days of world war three. Who’s making the next move? Are they white?
Oppenheimer is about Oppenheimer. Not specifically about Japan. I’m someone who absolutely believes the bombs never should’ve been dropped but this is absurd logic.

Now all we need is that unit 731 documentary!
