Review of Fat Man and Little Boy (1989) by J K — 04 Jun 2010
If you're a history buff this is worth watching once, though might be a bit melodramatic for your tastes. It does feature the great Paul Newman and a decent supporting cast, including John Cusack and the late Natasha Richardson, but I fear a lot of what transpires in this movie was fictional, especially the romantic interludes.
It seems to me they try to glamorize and sensationalize the atomic bombings of Japan. Trust me, that is something you DO NOT want to do in a film. it's embarrassing and just plain disrespectful of all that died.
If there's one thing I HATE about a bad movie is if it leaves me feeling ashamed of Hollywood.
