The hit film "Oppenheimer" came under fire for allegedly ignoring U.S. "war crimes" against Japan during World War II, causing a viral backlash on social media. Directed by Christopher Nolan, the movie was a box office success in 2023 but faced delays in Japan due to its controversial subject matter. AJ+ released a video criticizing the film for not challenging the U.S. decision to drop atomic bombs on Japan, leading to accusations of presenting a one-sided view of the war.Historian Naoko Wake argued that the film failed to address the full extent of the war's impact, with the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki labeled as war crimes due to the civilian casualties. Despite the suffering caused by the bombs, the U.S. has not taken responsibility or apologized to the victims, highlighting a pattern of avoiding accountability for past actions. The video went viral, sparking debates about historical atrocities committed by both the U.S. and Japan during World War II.Comments from users reflected differing perspectives on the issue, with some pointing out Japan's own war crimes and atrocities during the conflict. The controversy surrounding "Oppenheimer" highlighted the complexities of wartime history and the challenges of addressing past injustices.
