Viewers are divided over whether the film should have shown Japanese victims of the weapon created by physicist Robert Oppenheimer. Experts say it's complicated.

Americans in general hate to acknowledge the war crimes they commit. I think it was more about a business decision than anything else.

    Show me a culture that likes to recognize the war crimes they commited as war crimes.

    The Japanese seem to do way more of sweeping their dirty laundry under the rug from WWII under the rug than Americans.

    And no, that's not trying to excuse Americans of acknowledging their own war crimes. Every culture should own their past and do their best to learn from their mistakes.
