The Tragedy in Hiroshima

Today marks the 79th anniverssary of Atomic Bomb in Hiroshima. Every year August comes, many Japanese remember the vast tragedies durung the Pacific War. This month, in a way, is the time for mournig our ancestors.

Last year, the movie "Oppenheimer" was released. This story is about Robert Oppenheimer who is called the father of atomic bombs, and tells his struggle with the development of atomic bombs, the political situation at that time and after the WW2.

For the individual who was attacked by the bomb, the movie made me awkward in some parts. Especially these scenes are remarkable: the researches were pleased with the success of the first bomb experiment, and the news about dropping the bomb told those who rearched and develped.

Should nuclear weapons be banned? This kind of topic often appears in the Eiken test. In other words, the weapons Oppenheimer's team buit have continued to threat us. Indeed Russia has a possibility to use them in Ukraine, and Israel do in Gaza area as well. What the history teaches us?  People seek peace, but how people seek peace differs person to person and contry to country, I guess.

今日は広島原爆投下79周年です。毎年8月になると、多くの日本人が太平洋戦争中の大きな悲劇を思い出します。この月はある意味、祖先を悼む時期です。
昨年、映画「オッペンハイマー」が公開されました。これは原爆の父と呼ばれるロバート・オッペンハイマーを主人公に、原爆開発への苦闘、当時の政治状況、第二次世界大戦後の状況を描いた物語です。
原爆に襲われた人にとっては、この映画は私にとって気まずい場面もありました。特に印象的だったのは、最初の原爆実験の成功に研究者たちが喜ぶシーンや、原爆投下のニュースが研究・開発に携わった人々に伝えられるシーンです。
核兵器は禁止されるべきか?この手の話題は英検によく出題されます。つまり、オッペンハイマーのチームが作った兵器は、私たちを脅かし続けているのです。確かにロシアはウクライナ核兵器を使用する可能性があり、イスラエルガザ地区核兵器を使用する可能性があります。歴史は私たちに何を教えてくれるでしょうか?人々は平和を求めていますが、どのように平和を求めるかは人によって、また国によって異なると思います。

Today marks the 79th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Every year in August, many Japanese people remember the vast tragedies of the Pacific War. This month, in a way, is a time for mourning our ancestors.

Last year, the movie Oppenheimer was released. This story is about Robert Oppenheimer, who is called the father of the atomic bomb, and it depicts his struggle with the development of the atomic bomb, the political situation at that time, and the aftermath of World War II.

As an individual whose country was attacked by the bomb, the movie made me feel awkward in some parts. Particularly notable were the scenes where the researchers were pleased with the success of the first bomb experiment, and the news about dropping the bomb that was told to those who researched and developed it.

Should nuclear weapons be banned? This kind of topic often appears in the Eiken test. In other words, the weapons Oppenheimer's team built have continued to threaten us. Indeed, Russia might use them in Ukraine, and Israel might do so in the Gaza area as well. What does history teach us? People seek peace, but how they seek peace differs from person to person and from country to country, I guess.
