Nuclear Bomb

The documentary about how nuclear bombs were used in 1945 was used to broaden the understanding of the past for the viewers. As time passes the population of a country tends to look at its victories rather than at its losses when it looks back at its history. The population tends to forget the mistakes they made in past conflicts. This is due to the films/stories being showed or passed down to the new generation. Films about the loss of their country wouldn’t gain much revenue in the box office, therefore films that focus on the strength of the country tend to win over the minds of the people. It is also hard to people to talk about a loss, because they don’t want to seem weak or incompetent. They would rather talk about the time that they won some battle. This documentary snapped the reality back into the minds of the young generation. 50 years is a pretty big number, a new generation was born in those years. Much of this new generation has not had much information about the bombing of Hiroshima or Nagasaki. They old generation did not want to share this touchy detail with the young. The old generation did not want to seem inferior in the eyes of the younger ones. The learning from mistakes does not happen in this case. This is why this documentary was made-so people could learn from their mistakes.
