Can memories fight against the violence?

3 survivors testified that the bombing against citizen was war crime. They say that the Japanese government must take the responsibility for the reckless plan of air defense and the too late surrender. There is a contrast between their patience and the shout by loudspeaker van of ultra-rightists that accuses the United States.

But do not we need to think about the way of dropping incendiary bombs, enclosing by fire the densely inhabited area of more than 180 cities? I feel the song of bombers inadequate. Rather I want to know how the American ordinary people think about bombing against ordinary people of the other countries.

Though all of the content is cruel, there is a sort of quiet like still life painting. The minimum music is impressive. But the picture of fireworks is too beautiful. May be an explanation is necessary that there were survivors who were terrified by the sound and the sight of fireworks long time after the war.
