Lets start of by saying that every film director has their own slant on history. They do not make films to be historically accurate but box office hits.

Do I think that dropping the bomb was necessary and saved lives well the answer must be YES.
The civilians including the children were being trained to die fighting for their country and as it was in their creed never to surrender and that death was better than capture, then I think that any landings in Japan would have been fiercely contested.
Now could you tell me why it took TWO atoms bombs to make Japan surrender, surely if they were thinking of surrendering then one should have done the trick.
It was the Emperor of Japan that in the finish said enough is enough we must surrender. Why was it that the Officer Corps tried to depose the Emperor so that the war could continue.
Why was it that the Japanese had set up death camps to kill all allied prisoners if the allied forces landed in Japan, and I knew a chap who was being march to one of those deaths camps ready to be killed when the bomb went of at Nagasaki and he was about 20 miles away when it went off. Now you wont here any complaints from those men.
If you are so concerned about the loss of life caused by these atom bombs why aren't you concerned about the deaths caused by LeMays fire bombing tactics used against Japan that caused far more death than the Atom bombs did.
It is all very clever of people who were not around during these events to twist them to their own point of view, but dropping these bombs was the right things to do at the time and they saved millions of life's on both sides in the finish.
