I really agree. For genuinely talking about the senseless horror of those bombings, especially the callous afterthought that was Nagasaki, I prefer Dan Carlin's podcast series.

One gripe I have with the film is that none of it focuses on the poor, mostly Hispanic, population that lived in New Mexico at the time. These people had their land taken from them (their sole source of generational wealth) and died of horrific cancers post-tests. I think most of history just pretends nobody lived out there.

Here's just one article about it

Really?

...Shit, I guess I need to actually see this film before I talk about it. I assumed it was mere Oscar-bait and just absorbed information about it osmotically. I wasn't even mad at them, just thought oh, they found a guy who looks exactly like David Byrne, of course they wanted him for their Oscar bait film.

Those are not the choices I would have made if I was telling a story about the guy who built the bomb. I would have probably drawn a lot more from sources like Barefoot Gen, myself.

You're conflating the people who did that and the people who made a movie, if you want to throw a "nukes are a war crime" party I'm already on the guest list, but your comment reads like you're talking shit about people who don't like nukes and didn't nuke anybody, are you confused about that?

Pretty sure Christopher Nolan did not, in fact, melt any civilians.

I honestly didn’t even make it far enough through that snooze fest to reach that scene.
