Following Pentagon complaint, description of Hiroshima bombing cut from Hollywood's Godzilla reboot | Jon Mitchell Investigates
After the US Department of Defense complained about the inclusion of a description of the US atomic bombing of Hiroshima in the Hollywood movie, Godzilla (2014), the scene was removed from the script. The DoD criticized the monologue, which would have been given by a character acted by Watanabe Ken, as “totally irrelevant and gratuitous.” The DoD even threatened to withdraw its cooperation from the production; “If this is an apology or questioning of the decision to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki, that will be a showstopper for us,” wrote one senior DoD member.
