@itsjustcinema: Mori Masaki’s “Barefoot Gen” is one of the most harrowing animated movies EVER made 🇯🇵 #whattowatch #cinema #filmtok #movierecommendation #movierecommendation

Guys Japan as a country did a lot of truly horrific things, but that doesn't mean that they deserve to have atomic bombs dropped on two big cities filled with a lot of innocent civilians

~Tarta~ :

They'll make an anime about Hiroshima but not Nanking

Han D Solo :

Rex Francis :

This and Grave of the Fireflies.

PugilisticCephalopod :

These comments are not it. We're all aware of the war crimes of imperialist Japan during WWII. However it is also true that the US dropping two nukes on civilian cities as a retaliation for an attack on a navel base is a war crime too.

cuge co :

people in the comments acting like Japan wasn't a horrible country back then 💔

Mou Zo :

usa is the real evil of the world

achromaticsky__ :

the American comments do not pass the vibe check at all

amorfati18 :

Why america got no sanctions from UN?

Angusbeef28 :

People in the comments acting like the Japanese didn’t deserve it

Illy :

What gives this story even more depth is the fact that the original manga, which the movie is based on, is written and drawn by a Hiroshima bombing survivor Keiji Nakazama. He was 6 years old when the bomb was dropped.

KronictheBEAST :

Barefoot Gen crushed me. Grave of the Fireflies destroyed me. thats why when they say Anime is childish... not the onrs I watched. Berserk raised me 💔

Turquoise channel TikTok :

Terrifying to think that this movie was released only 37 years after the Hiroshima bombing

ForceGhostConversations :

The hardest part is it’s the authors true experience of survival.

boyblue🇵🇸 :

I'd hope in these times especially my fellow Americans could recognize a government can do horrible things but civilians don't deserve the brunt of the retribution for those actions, but I guess there is a reason AI is on the rise and it's not because people are actually engaging their brains 🤷‍♂️

Ray :

like someone will see attack of titan and still say its for kids

dublin117 :

i like to sleep with a movie playing at night. I saw grave of firefly's on netflix I think and was like oh this looks nice. it was not nice.

MoonO :

What Japan did was not okay, but what USA did is unforgivable, disgusting and shameful.

Levizilla :

oppenheimer is the complex moral prequel barefoot gen is the disturbing and horrible truth of it godzilla is the embodiment, the consequences and the aftermath of humanities destruction

Hex_Zero8 :

Believe me when I tell you that the destruction of Hiroshima is only the 2nd most upsetting scene in the movie.

Victor Moura :

US did this btw

c s :

Oh man I had to watch this in a college history class and it was really illuminating

awkward_astronaut :

This guy's story telling is top-notch, so much so that I think I might be disappointed if I actually watched these movies.

jam :

Japan never likes to talk about how they were researching a bomb through the whole war.

IndianaJ :

Mmmm this and grave of the fireflies double feature to destroy your year
