Mostly agreed. Historians and philosophers can argue ad nauseum about if the bombs were the only way to end the war, but we literally can’t know. Some argue that everyone will listen to the emperor while others argue that they would fight to a long, drawn-out death, citing the coup that happened even after the Japanese saw the immense power of the bombs.

My comments just give insight into the ferocity with which they attack the movie. Japan doesn’t teach their population about all of the war, the invasion of China and the Philippines, the rape of Nanjing…any of it. They are only taught that they were one day minding their own business when Americans destroyed two cities. It makes sense they don’t want to consume this media.
