2. My God.

I had to stop watching 40 minutes in. There are no words.

3. That's where I was, too... I just couldn't watch it all, especially

not after seeing the happy, smiling face of the pilot and then the scenes of terror, destruction and death. I won't say yea or nay about the war. But it is telling that we're the only country that's dropped these kinds of bombs not once, but twice on a country. I worry the lessons of WWII have been lost as the generation who fought it have died, and no one seems to remember or understand the history.

4. Returned to watch the final 12 minutes

I just want to state that this is an incredibly important documentary and one of the best documentaries, of any kind, I have ever seen. It's hard to watch in parts. But it really ought to be required viewing for every adult American -- not to instill shame, but to ensure empathy. Great post, Yui.
