(TW/movie spoiler second paragraph)

OK I get Japanese people take things seriously and are upset, and it's easy to laugh at something like Barbenheimer when the consequences of atomic bombings are mostly on another continent. I write this on a day of immense tragedy for the world, after the bomb it was apparent that human suffering can know no bounds if we don't make an effort to live in peace.

Did the author really watch the same Oppenheimer I did? I think Christopher Nolan did more than his due diligence on the matter. The scene with the speech and the thunderous applause juxtaposed with harrowing scenes of Japanese civilians being burnt alive was far and away the most gut-wrenching part of the film.

Like fuck, we really fucking did that to people. That should really make anyone stop and think.

That said, I don't mind the fact that people make light of two contrasting movies releasing the same day. Let people have their humour, especially to cope for something so dark and tragic.
