about or portray following less restriction on the content of films and the fall of the dominant family friendly Hollywood film that came with it. Dr. Strangelove is a satire centered around the cold war era US military and its fucking wild game of nuclear chicken with the Soviet Union following World War II.

Imagine going back in time, putting yourself in the shoes of the Hiroshima civilians in 1945. It’s a normal day, but suddenly a bright flash passes. You see the people around you disintegrate, disappearing from the world. One second they’re here, and the next, not even a single trace. The only thing that kept you alive was the walls of two buildings. August 6, 1945 is a day that will remain in our hearts forever. There were many places we traveled in Hiroshima, but to me the Peace Park was the…

A single bomb detonated in the sky in 1945, instantly shattering tens and thousands of innocent lives .
