Day One (1989)
Revisionist History about the bomb
7 April 2014 - 9 out of 19 users found this review helpful.
This is quite a good depiction of the history of the development of the bomb, and I was quite enjoying it. Then in about the last half hour the "revisionist" history began to creep in - the type where all good people at the time felt we shouldn't use the bomb, and only the evil military folks were for its use. The dialog at this point sounds absolutely absurd for a wartime 1945, and comes across more like a demonstration at Berkley in the 60s. "Yes we used the bomb, but we were very conflicted about the decision, and we were wrong to do it." Spare me this drivel.
If you agree with this point of view and felt the US was wrong to use the bomb you'll love the movie.
