Patrick M @Cannonwill 4d This is not a documentary of that is what you are looking for. It is a movie, a dramatization of what it may have been like with the population dealing with and living the aftermath of the bomb. It is somewhat interesting to live the stories of what it may have been like. I found it fair in that respect. However, I did not find it to stimulating. I watched i it all the way through. Fairly graphic, but failed to touch my opinion of reality. Iv was looking for more REAL content. An awful part of history, it showed some struggles. It did not show what was real. See more 03/02/2014 I saw this movie during my Japanese language classes in high school and I found it incredably moving. Fantastic watch for anyone wanting another look into the bombings of Hiroshima. It takes you ground level and while maybe not 100% historically accurate (not sure if it is or isn't) an amazing watch. Moving. See more 09/03/2008 Really showed me the tragedy of what happened during the war...from several characters' points of view. As a youngster, it was very moving...This movie taught me to never forget history, lest we repeat it. See more Read all reviews
