关于“原子弹之父”热门传记片、刚刚获得奥斯卡最佳影片奖的《奥本海默》3月29日在日本上映。仅3天时间,《奥本海默》就以3.793亿日元(约合250万美元)的票房成绩成为迄今为止在日本最卖座的外国电影。

虽然发行方鉴于该片题材敏感,特意将赴日上映时间安排在北美首映后8个月,但仍引发争议。
Oppenheimer finally premiered on Mar 29 in the nation where two cities were obliterated 79 years ago by the nuclear weapons invented by the American scientist who was the subject of the Oscar-winning film.
In just three days, the filmgrossed 379.3 million Japanese yen (about $2.5 million), making it the highest-grossing foreign film in Japan so far in 2024.
由于日本是历史上唯一遭受过核武器袭击的国家,该片引发了日本观众复杂的情感。一些人表示,该片“只关注投下原子弹的一方,而忽视了被投下原子弹的一方”,甚至有人指责奥本海默“对日本发动了大屠杀”。
As Japan is the only country in history to have been attacked with nuclear weapons, the movie was met with complex feelings from Japanese viewers. Some said that the film “only focuses on the side that dropped the atomic bomb, while ignoring the side that was bombed,” with some even accusing Oppenheimer of “launching a massacre against Japan.”
4月2日,总部位于美国的半岛电视台旗下社媒频道“AJ+”在社交媒体X上发表了一篇帖文。就《奥本海默》在日上映一事,一名亚裔女记者采访了一位在美国密歇根大学任职的日本学者直子·韦克(Naoko Wake)。

On the heels of the Japan premiere, AJ+, which is a digital news and storytelling project owned by Al Jazeera, put out a video hitting the filmmakers for not challenging the US decision to use the bombs against Japan.
这位学者认为,美军对日本投下原子弹是一种“战争罪行”,电影《奥本海默》却掩盖了这点,没有替“日本受害者发声”,而是完全站在了“美国加害者”的立场。
In the video, historian Naoko Wake, an associate professor of History at Michigan State University, argued the film only presented a “limited” and one-sided aspect of the war.
“78年过去了,没有一位美国总统向受害者道歉”,该记者补充道。“这与美国一贯回避对犯下罪行承担责任的模式完全吻合。”
“After 78 years, not a single US president has apologized to the victims,” the reporter added.
截至目前,该采访视频已有4500多万浏览量,帖文评论区也绝大多数是对这名学者观点的反驳。其中一条评论说,日本“没有权利要求道歉,反而欠战争受害者一个道歉。”
One comment said that Japan “does not have the right to ask for an apology, but owes an apology to the victims of the war.”
随着事件的不断发酵,“南京”“731部队”被大量讨论,一度登上了美国社交媒体的热搜榜。

其实,早在《奥本海默》在美国上映后不久,在问答网站Quora上,就有日本网友发布了提问:“美国人会因为投放了广岛和长崎两颗原子弹而感到羞耻吗?”

On the question-and-answer website Quora, a Japanese user posted the question: “Does the Enola Gay bomb dropping of Hiroshima and Nagasaki make you ashamed to be an American?”
对此,有美国网友直截了当地反问:“南京大屠杀让你为日本人的身份感到羞耻吗?731部队让你为自己是日本人而感到羞耻吗?”
