    It's the one thing I think the movie totally dropped the ball on. There was an opportunity to show what happened in Hiroshima, and Chris didn't take it.

    After seeing Oppenheimer I started reading Hiroshima Diary by Michihiko Hachiya, it's pretty harrowing stuff. And I was already aware through other cultural osmosis/research what conditions on the ground were like after the bomb. What a wasted opportunity.
