The film shows the bombing of Hiroshima and the horrific aftermath following the detonation of an atomic bomb on humans for the first time in history.
While not being a huge surprise, Hiroshima is one of the saddest films ever made and leaves you absolutely gutted afterwards. It apparently makes use of over 90.000 extras (!), and is based on several testimonies told from actors who actually experienced the horrible event only eight years earlier. There's some incredible sets in the film, and the many, many actors had to stumble around barefoot on piles of rubble surrounded by flames and thousands of screaming people. Talk about a tough shoot.
The harrowing and sorrowful music melts into the scenes and gives them that extra little push to being so miserably that people who'd been present when the bomb fell said that the film captured the disaster with scary accuracy. Not that it makes the film any easier to watch but, Hiroshima makes one hell of an effort to portray that day when history took another turn for the worse and with nothing omitted shows the tragedy from the perspective of those who had to live in it.
