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.
