The nuclear test killed people on reservations on American soil but go off with your "It's just a funny line" Maybe the movie shouldn't have been made since innocent civilians both American and Japanese died but I'm screaming at the void whatever it's just kinda fucked up to lionize him & his actions
my apologies on ignorance of death toll of the test. i was trying to say that it wasn't making fun of people being killed.
i don't think the quote is funny as it is. i think it's dark. i do find it strange that a white man quoted a Hindu text off the top of his head. hence it being out of left field/ bizarre to me. especially in a pre internet world.
humans make movies about things still. and i wouldnt be suprised if there was pro US military propaganda in it. its in all the superhero movies and other big blockbusters. i haven't seen the movie yet. but i don't think the movie shouldn't have been made. there are movies about Winston Churchill, who contributed to a genocide in India, and Thomas Jefferson, a slaver. this is a movie about Oppenheimer. one can use the hype to educate people if they'd like. but the movies will come out.
these movies are released on the same day. the juxtaposition is comedic to me bc its two things that don't really go together. something dark that has horrible implications for the future (that we now live in), and Barbie (something bright and optimistic). the target audience doesn't seem to cross much but it is crossing, and is beinf g treated as a double feature. it's an unexpected phenomenon. more bizzareness.
not everyone's type of humor but a well documented form of it. you don't have to find it funny though. i think most people still will, despite the tragedy that is nuclear bomb usage.
i am aware of the relocating of Indigenous people done for nuclear tests (here and in the USSR) and find it despicable bc its cultural genocide. i would not make s joke about the relocation. the closest this meme comes to making fun of someone is Oppenheimer imo. there are multiple movies about WWII and most of them are full of propaganda.
i thought you came at OP really hard for something that was indeed humorous (to a lot of us) and were trying to dictate what OP found humorous in a way that happens a lot on tumblr, so i commented.
thanks for sharing your information and perspective.
