I don't know how you got any of that from what I've said. I expect nothing of most Americans. As I've said in this thread, I think they might have been ways to to incorporate alot of other important points in the film. The main big issues are (i) the absence of cold war and soviet-competition policy for the dropping of the bomb in particular, and this could have been brought up by Szilard's reports of his meeting with Stimpson, tho again i'm not sure how you would put that into the framework of the narrative, being a biography, and (ii) the fact that the actual human consequences of the bombs being dropped werent shown.

But it also made clear that the anti-Communists were scum, that Truman was scum, that the choice over whether to commit mass-murder was a political calculation. At a certain point the onus is on the fucking illiterate, cultureness American to not be a fucking idiots. There are few more annoyingly American things than demanding that all the world dumb-down their culture so that Americans can get some light, easily-digestable entertainment. This movie is still very much on the 'hollywood entertainment' side of things. I don't care whether chuds came out of this convinced. It

I have no idea why you would think that I'm suggesting that fascists came out radicalized by this. They wouldn't have come out like that no matter how communist the movie is. I'm not talking about revolution, let alone being insane enough to suggest that subtle communist sympathy will turn people communist.

I'm also not suggesting that Nolan is subtle. He's like one of the least subtle guys in existence. No illusions here over his politics. He's a lib with a penchant for big historical figures.
