Oppenheimer finally opens its doors in Japan, eight months after its worldwide release
After winning seven Academy Awards, Oppenheimer, a film about the creation of the atomic bomb, was released in the only country to have suffered its devastating effects.
Universal Pictures left Japan out of its release schedule for global screenings, despite the country being a major market for Hollywood.
The film was eventually picked up by independent film distributor Bitters End and released on Friday.
Christopher Nolan's biopic about American physicist Robert Oppenheimer and the race to develop the atomic bomb has grossed more than $953 million since its release in July last year.
But in Japan, its creation left a permanent mark, after the American bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II, which killed more than 200,000 people.
'Difficult to watch' for Hiroshima residents
Movie fans in Hiroshima on Friday had a mixed reaction after seeing the film for the first time.
Toshiyuki Mimaki survived the bombing of Hiroshima. He was three years old at the time.
“During the entire movie, I waited and waited for the scene of the bombing of Hiroshima, but it never happened,” Mr. Mimaki said.
The film does not directly show the consequences of the atomic bomb.
Instead, it focuses on Oppenheimer as a person and his internal conflicts.
Former Hiroshima Mayor Takashi Hiraoka criticized the film for lacking a Japanese perspective.
“The horror of nuclear weapons has not been adequately described,” Mr. Hiraoka said.
“The film was made in such a way as to validate the conclusion that the atomic bomb was used to save American lives.”
Kawai, 37, was also among those who saw the film on its premiere day.
“It’s an incredible film that deserves to win the Oscars,” he said.
“But the film also depicts the atomic bomb in a way that seems to praise it, and as someone with roots in Hiroshima, I had a hard time watching it.”
Japanese director Takashi Yamazaki has previously said he would like to see a film showing the Japanese experience with the bomb.
“I think there has to be a response from Japan to Oppenheimer,” he said in an online dialogue with director Christopher Nolan, who shared his sentiment.
