03/02/2014 I saw this movie during my Japanese language classes in high school and I found it incredably moving. Fantastic watch for anyone wanting another look into the bombings of Hiroshima. It takes you ground level and while maybe not 100% historically accurate (not sure if it is or isn't) an amazing watch. Moving. See more 09/03/2008 Really showed me the tragedy of what happened during the war...from several characters' points of view. As a youngster, it was very moving...This movie taught me to never forget history, lest we repeat it. See more Read all reviews
