‘Oppenheimer’ Draws Praise in Japan After Long-Delayed Release
A movie about the atomic bomb’s creator was always going to be a touchy topic in the only country attacked with the weapon.
But after an eight-month delay reflecting those sensitivities‚ “Oppenheimer” opened in Japan on Friday to generally favorable reaction from Japanese viewers. Some said it offered a perspective beyond the widely held view in the U.S. that the bombings were justified because they hastened the end of World War II.Â
