The 1980s anime “Barefoot Gen” tells the story of the bombing on Hiroshima exactly 40 years before Christopher Nolan’s film about the man who made the horrendous weapon itself.
, there is still plenty of paranoia about nuclear war breaking out. Despite the lingering threat of nukes destroying everything, for the vast majority of the world, the scale of an atomic bomb is utterly unknowable.That’s not the case for Keiji Nakazawa, who was just 6 years old when an atomic bomb was dropped on his hometown of Hiroshima. As an adult, full-time cartoonist, Nakazawa decided to commit his unshakable memories to paper.
The Nakaoka family lives a life full of challenges, but Masaki’s film carefully observes the love this family has for each other. Closely observed details, like a quiet moment when the boys rest their heads on their mother’s lap and feel the baby kicking, are bursting with tenderness. Despite their circumstances, their love for one another cannot be extinguished.Everything changes on Aug. 6. The film’s portrayal of what happens is haunting: There’s not a cloud in the sky on this gorgeous day.
After the bombing, Gen wakes up under a pile of rubble, death and destruction all around him. People walk around like zombies, skin melting, eyes falling out. “Ghosts! They’re all ghosts!” Gen says, terror filling his lungs. It’s a truly apocalyptic vision, but instead of theorizing what things might be like one day,is a startling personal account of an unspeakable tragedy.
