In Hideo Sekigawa’s 1953 film Hiroshima it depicts events of the bombing of the city Hiroshima, Japan, and the aftermath of it. It shows various key points of the historical bombing at the end of World War II. These include the bombing itself, the survival and deaths after the bombing, and how they show loyalty towards their emperor with the bombing just happening. Hiroshima (1953) and the other excerpts followed the themes of rebuilding, while Hiroshima (1953) also focused on themes of atomic warfare. If I had to describe this film in one word, I would use the word intense. It is not an easy film to sit through, but the way it was shot made you sit and analyze the film for an hour and forty-five minutes. Each shot had so much tension and intensity built in the frame, which makes you want to look away, but you can not. The film gives a very well depicted insight on the history of the bombing for those who did not experience or were not alive when it occurred. It shows the realities that the city of Hiroshima and the country of Japan had to face during World War II.
