Anti-American Propaganda

By Colts In '09

The film says that Japan was really in the process of surrendering and that the Americans were blood thirsty war mongers that wanted to drop the bomb to show the world what it could do. The film tries to rewrite history and portray Japan as the victims and the US as evil. Just straight up anti-American propaganda.
Hate Propaganda

This movie goes back into the decision made by Harry Truman to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima for the purpose of vilifying Truman and the United States. It is vague and deceitful about whether the Japanese were considering surrender, implying that using the bomb was not necessary. Among other things it assumes that a long embargo could have been maintained against the Japanese Islands and that other, politically speculative measures could have been undertaken in lieu of using the bomb. The vilest motives are attributed to the Americans working on the mission. This movie has one message: hate America.
