Film Oppenheimer may be quite sensitive for residents Japan. The reason is, good atom created by scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So, there is speculation that the film will not be screened in Japan.
Oppenheimer does not have a theatrical release date for Japan so far, leading some to speculate that the film has been banned in the region. However, this issue has been dismissed by Universal Pictures as Oppenheimer’s distributor.
A Universal spokesperson stated that Oppenheimer’s release plans have not been finalized for all countries. After all, judging by the tradition so far, film screenings in Japan are sometimes slower than other countries.
quoted detikINET from The Independent, Hollywood releases often occur weeks or months later in Japan than other markets.
The Japanese film industry is savvy enough to take a wait-and-see approach to blockbuster films. If Oppenheimer fails at the box office in other markets, then Japan might decide on a quicker release in a smaller number of theaters. If it becomes a global hit, it may be shown across the country.
Filmmakers in Japan have taken themes from World War 2 several times. In 1952, the film Children of Hiroshima described the situation following the war occurred.
There are also anime shows showing the devastation wrought by Oppenheimer’s atomic bomb, most notably Barefoot Gen in 1983, and its 1986 sequel. In the style of Astro Boy and Kimba the White Lion, a wide-eyed boy, Gen, trapped in the horrors of war, watches as his mother melts before him.
