アメリカ(+ロシア、おまけ程度に中国)の核開発実験に関する記録映画です
某動画サイトで流れていたのをきっかけに購入しました
大変良かったです、当時の映像が多いので画質は良くはないのですが
グリーンハウス作戦のジョージの火球の映像は本当に綺麗で買った甲斐がありました
実験動画だけならYouTubeに山ほど転がってますが解説付きで見れる所が良いです
アメリカの作品なので当然日本語字幕は無いですが英語字幕も無かったので
耳で聞き取る他ありませんが、映像のおかげで大体何の話してるかは分かりやすかったです

生きる、生存することを徹底的に否定される恐怖。
この映像の中には恐怖以外の感覚は存在しないはずなのに
美しさ、破壊のカタルシス、ガジェットに対するフェティシズムと
エロチシズム、以上の感覚に支配されてしまうそんな悲しさがある。

A tad dated (1995) but lots of interesting film

2014年2月17日に日本でレビュー済み

A lot of information is covered in a very quick time; it is bettered viewed if you already have a fair background on the subject or use repeated viewing.
This is more of a series of old films of the time. No secrets or details are exposed. This is a good movie and never promised too may technical details.

There is just as much left out as left in to get through the subject in 93 minutes to describe U.S. detonated 331 atomic devices.

It is however a fairly complete historical documentary without a log of sound bites presentations. I personally did not notice the background music (Preformed by The Moscow Symphony Orchestra) as we get this noise with just about every production now days. However it seems to have been just as much a character as the narrator in defending the mood of the viewer. However towards the end we did get a good clip from "Where the Boys Are" sung by Connie Francis.

If you do not recognize the narrator's voice it is of William Shatner.
We get some food footage of a young and an old Edward Teller (1908-2003). Along with this is footage of other people significant to the story.

This documentary is funny, terrifying, and more than a little depressing.I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of real horror. The nuclear arms race is the best argument for intelligence being an overrated evolutionary trait .

This movie makes people realize the magnitude of which nuclear bombs were tested. And, thankfully were not used post WWII. The enormous size of bombs developed after WWII could have possibly destroyed our planet.

A Terrific Movie That Says More than it Means To

2007年12月9日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

The Atomic Bomb Movie conveys more about the "progress" (if that word can be used in this context) of the nuclear arms race than it perhaps means to. Even as it shows glamorous-looking nuclear footage, it unintentionally conveys a strong anti-nuclear message. As we move sequentially from the detonation of 100 tons of conventional explosives to the initial 10,000-ton (10 kiloton, or 10-kT) Trinity explosion in New Mexico, to Hiroshima and Nagasaki (likewise 10-20 kT yields), and then on to 10-to-60 million-ton (10-60 MT) explosions (jumping not by a factor of two but by a factor of 1000 in explosive yield as we go!), we are witnesses to a spectacular example of psychological desensitization. (And believe me, the footage shown in this film is spectacular, if that's the right word, beyond belief.)

This theme of desensitization is borne out by the interviews with two atomic weaponeers, Frank Shelton and Edward Teller. Shelton is a regular-guy engineer, and seems highly accomplished in his trade. But it's Teller who is truly revealing (and revealed), as he disingenuously claims that he only wanted to "gain knowledge that would deter Stalin" militarily when he sought to build the real doomsday weapon, the hydrogen bomb, in the 1950s. (Teller doesn't get around to explaining that, unlike Hiroshima-type fission weapons that can only be built up to a size of tens of kilotons, which is quite enough to establish a deterrent force, fusion-powered hydrogen bombs can reach unlimited yields--tens to hundreds of megatons--limited only by the weight-carrying capacity of delivery systems.) Teller sounds quite proud when he describes how he pushed Truman very hard to build those things, and he looks and sounds immensely and smugly self-satisfied when he says that Truman "made the right choice" to develop those Strangelovian things.

In the movie, we see H-bomb shots that reach tens of millions of tons of TNT-equivalent yield, the unholy children of Edward Teller and his co-inventor (and even smarter innovator) Stan Ulam. (Teller, by the way, barely credits Ulam as the co-inventor of the H-bomb, right under his breath. Talk about a display of megalomania--Teller doesn't even want to share the credit for inventing the doomsday device that can end civilization.) What we see happening throughout The Atomic Bomb Movie, despite the efforts of the people who were making these weapons to make us believe otherwise, is the normalization of horrific power into a stockpile of devices that these people apparently believed could be used and controlled as if they were nothing more than oversized artillery shells. (We do see an atomic cannon being fired--WOW, would that have ever been fun, I've got to admit!!) They seem to think of them as merely oversized flash bulbs.

They weren't (and aren't) flash bulbs, and the film footage in this movie demonstrates exactly why they simply cannot ever be used in any meaningful sense. After you have seen this film you may be able to begin to understand why only a few dozen of the smallest types, with Hiroshima-Nagasaki types of yields, will always be enough to deter any country from attacking another--and why they are utterly useless as military weapons. Concomitant with that understanding is the realization that the interview claims made by Teller (who eventually talked Reagan into thinking that atomic-bomb-powered Star Wars systems could actually be built and would be effective) are so disingenuous as to amount to lies. This movie clearly demonstrates the futility of pursuing the development of atomic weapons by --any-- country.

This DVD does not tell the story of science run amok; science as an enterprise of the human spirit has practically nothing to do with any of the shots that appear in this film. What could have ever been the "scientific" point of subjecting humans and animals to the ghastly "test shot" effects that we see portrayed in this movie, white-coated field technicians who examine post-shot, dead and dying animals notwithstanding? There's that desensitization thing again.

No, it wasn't for science that this work was done. This movie demonstrates that it was for the sake of hubris, of satisfying a misguided demand for "power" that these shots were fired, and that humans and animals (both the ones near the bombs and the "downwinders" across the United States and around the world) were treated as if they were irrelevant or worse. The situation regarding human subjects becomes simply ludicrous when we see a little old lady from some Podunk Junction hometown, a real-life Ma Kettle, being interviewed while sitting in a slit trench in pre-dawn darkness, awaiting an atomic-test-range bomb blast while wearing her oversized Civil Defense hard hat. OMG. Apparently the US government wanted to get some film footage of her to reassure "regular" people that, in the event of an actual atomic war, we would all just ride out a blast or two and then go on with our lives--an example of desensitization taken to the tenth power. Never mind that by the time that footage was composed, the bomb arsenals of the US and USSR were large enough to obliterate the entire world's civilization several times over, or that, as Winston Churchill said, all the nuclear powers were managing to do was to ensure that they could "make the rubble bounce".

In another example of desensitization, this time with respect to fiscal responsibility, The Atomic Bomb Movie shows how the governments of the US and USSR became accustomed to spending unlimited sums of money to pursue increasingly bizarre and useless engineering feats (namely the building and firing of increasingly larger and increasingly irrelevant bombs) toward no useful end. For some reason, there never was (and apparently still isn't) enough money available in either country to pay for nutrition or health care for people who are poor, but the US and USSR clearly never lacked the money to fund even the weirdest enterprises that people like Teller could devise. This movie documents the firing of hundreds of bombs that each cost hundreds of thousands to millions (and in some cases billions) of dollars apiece. And what have we now got to show for all of that, given that we had a secure deterrent force when we had built the first few hundred Hiroshima-size bombs by about 1950? What have now got to show for all of the money that was spent for the last six decades on developing and building more and more of these things? Just a lot of wasted effort that could have been gone into more productive pursuits, if this movie gives us any indication at all.

This movie confirms the conclusion of President Eisenhower (himself no stranger to war and certainly no softie on defense issues) when he bemoaned the unholy alliance that he saw developing between hubristic military leaders who wanted unlimited power, of American industries that profited handsomely from bomb production and bomb testing (we see, for example, how Western Electric found that early atomic bombs were hand-crafted oddities and then turned A-bomb production into an efficient, mass-production operation employing tens of thousands of assembly-line workers including lots of women who look like our mothers), and of political people who thought they could buy "security" and "credibility" if only they could build a big enough atomic stockpile--which turned out to never be big enough to make us secure at all. We see all of them working together to expend uncountable sums of money on utterly useless and destructive weapons.

The Atomic Bomb Movie's unintentional messages make it a must-see DVD. By looking like pro-atomic propaganda, it (apparently unwittingly) becomes the best anti-atomic piece that you can find. It has a more effective anti-atomic message than any intentionally anti-atomic movie could have ever achieved. I would like to think that the people who made it understood this--and perhaps they did; they're clearly pretty smart cookies. The movie is ably produced and narrated by Messrs. Kuran and Shatner, respectively. The only reason that I have given it four stars instead of five is that I think it substantially underplays the ghastly effects of atomic bombs on humans, animals, and the Earth's environment. But I do understand why it had to be made this way: If the full extent of atomic effects had been documented in this film, it would have probably been essentially unsellable. No thinking, non-desensitized human being would be able to watch that kind of show for more than a few seconds. So as this genre goes, The Atomic Bomb Movie is as good as you're going to get.

this documentary is both facinating and frightening the tests took place when i was a kid
when you're talking about a weapon that can destroy a city,, and is rated in MEGATONS that is frightening
not only that but this film i revelant today now there are 3 idiots running around the nuclear powder keg with blow torches,and the sobering and frightening thing is this is happening RIGHT NOW north korea ,, china an russia all have leaders that have no concept o a nuclar explosion is,, or the consequenses afterword will be do these fools think that if they fire a missile at a country that that country won't retaliate
with missiles of their own?? once that missile leaves that silo the whole ball of wax is going to snow ball
out of control and every body gets it in the head i promise you that if tis scenariio becomes the real magila this world will become a very different place a much harsher place to survive in
