PeterRS Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago After all the priase for the movie "Oppenheimer", one director claims it rather missed the boat with certain omissions. He intends to rectify them. While praising Chritopher Nolan's multilpe award winning movie, James Cameron has called it a "moral cop out". He feels Nolan should have spent more of the film on the after effects in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. "I felt that it dodged the subject," he claims. My own view is that "Oppenheimer" was about the making and internal political consequences of the bomb rather than its effects. Cameron, though, is ploughing ahead with another bomb movie adapted from a forthcoming non-fiction book "Ghosts of Hiroshima" which brings together testimonies from victims and survivors. Although we have seen endless videos of the scenes on the ground after the bombs dropped, I wonder how Cameron will treat the subject without making today's audiences feel almost sick. Still, Spielberg made the Nazi concentration camps into an engrossing movie which had audiences in tears but hardly sick. Quote
