Reply #88: No, that's "Grave of the Fireflies", a very good animated film

Black Rain details the story of a girl and her family who survive the Hiroshima blast.

"And doesn't that actually portray what the "devastation would have been worse if we hadn't" argument is about, that the suffering shown in Black Rain would have gone on much longer and across a much wider range had we continued the war on the Japanese mainland for several more months?"


Um, no. The suffering of the victims continued for years and years, and for a few survivors, still continues. Not to mention the genetic damage being passed down to future generations.
