Oppenheimer’s film, which won an Oscar in the Best Picture category in 2024, was screened in Japan eight months after its world premiere. In this respect reports Reuters.
Christopher Nolan’s film about American physicist and atomic bomb inventor Robert Oppenheimer was shown with warning signs in Japan, the only country in the world to suffer a nuclear bomb. Notices were posted at the entrances of Japanese cinemas stating that the film showed nuclear tests, which may serve as a reminder of the damage caused by the bombings.
Teruko Yahata, an 86-year-old survivor of the bombing, told the news agency that she supported the screening of the film because it could lead to discussions about nuclear weapons.
Universal Pictures did not initially plan to release the film in Japan. The screening rights were subsequently purchased by Japanese distributor Bitters End.
The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were hit by nuclear bombs during World War II.
