There's a scene with Oppenheimer defends his work on the Manhattan Project to his friend by saying, "It's not your people that are being targeted." Because Oppy is a jew. What strikes me is he defends the leftist in the Spanish Civil War despite them killing Catholics and raping nuns. I'm not a blame the jooz guy but I find it interesting that defending the Jewish community is good, but destroying a Christian community isn't even a consideration when picking sides.

There was the scene after the German surrender with the meeting to end the project since Germany was out of it. And there was Opy's speech after Hiroshima about him regretting not dropping the bomb on Germany. I think the movie was explicit about making the bomb before Germany, and after they were defeated the job was done.
I was kinda shocked that Nolan turned it from a biopic about Oppenheimer to an anti-Strauss movie in the third act.
They chose the cities with the largest Christian populations in Japan to bomb.....
I was not aware of that
I not trying to be the "source" guy but I gotta ask do you have any info that backs that up?
Nagasaki had the largest Christian Church in Asia at the time
Hiroshima and especially Nagasaki were famous for having the most Christians. How do you not know this?
Why would I know that?
Nagasaki was a secondary target though. What was the Christian population of Kokura at the time?
