Interview with friends

To compare with Japanese friend, I had an interview with American friend. I also interviewed with Korean and French friends.

1. Aysha(American)

She mentioned three things. First, places(Hiroshima and Nagasaki) where the U.S dropped A-bombs was wrong. Because those places were quite big enough to be killed many citizens living in those cities. Plus, she said the first object to use A-bomb should scare people not kill them. So, it would have been better to use A-bomb in places where small people lived. Second,  although the U.S used A-bomb as self-defense, it never be used forever to innocent people. She felt sorry for innocent people who died from A-bomb. She also said the bomb should haven't been created in Manhattan Project. Suddenly I thought a question and asked her, "What do you think about this that thanks to A-bomb, lots of American peoples' lives could have been saved and the war time could have been shortened." She answered me back like this. "That's true if we only think about American lives, but if we think about whole world, less people would have been died in war. Nobody knows how many people would be died until it happens."

2. YoungKyoung(Korea)

As one of Koreans who knows well about Japanese colony for 36 years from 22. 8. 1910 ~ 15. 8. 1945, she mentioned Japanese was quite lucky to get sympathy from the world. This was because most of the world didn't notice Japan's atrocities to Korea and other Asia colony countries. Japan commited some horrific war crimes. Such as using of Korean women as sex slaves at military brothels during the World War Second, Changing people' names in Japanese and being forbidden using Hangul, which is Korean alpabet. She felt sorry about her ancestors.

3. Kolari(French)

She never expected this kind of film. At first, she thought documentary and during the movie, she expected the bomb is going to explode, but it happened at the end of the movie. She said this is quite good movie and said movie. She felt really sad when aya was waiting for her lover who joined the battle for his country and Hideo had to join the army on 13th and had to seperate with his lover. She told one very impressive idea that we feel sympathy these characters cause we'd been watching this movie more than 1 hour and it means we know them well. So when the bomb was dropping, impact is too strong compared to some news who died due to big catastrophe. Because we don't know those people.
