The movie i watched was Hiroshima: BBC History of World War II. I think this movie did a great job in showing events that happened before, during, and after the bomb was dropped and the effects it had on the people of japan, and the impact the first nuclear weapon.
The impact on japan was huge. The variety of death and suffering was enormous. The suffering ranged from being instantly turned to dust and not feeling a thing and having no body left behind for relatives to mourn, to rotting away from the inside while they were still alive from their bodies not being about to fight off anything from the radioactive power of the bomb. The physical aspects the bomb did to the land and the climate is astonishing as well. The atomic bomb made it rain black water from the water that was evaporated instantly from the heat of the explosion and the radioactive decay in the air from the uranium in the core of the bomb. The people of the destroyed city who were not killed instantly were burned severely so when it started to rain the black water they drank the rain because they had all the liquid burned out of their bodies at the time of the explosion. Those who drank the water were infected with the radioactive material and within days died from rotting away from the inside caused by the water taking away the body's ability to fight off any and all illnesses.
I think this is a great movie and is very accurate with many many first hand, primary sources to reference everything off of. These people who were there had many great quotes in their stories about the bomb, the preparations, and the impact it had, such as "that is bridge".
I would recommend this move to anyone who is willing to watch as it is a very good movie,
