One may think there is always only one truth to be told and remembered, but in cases where truth can be used to serve a certain purpose, would what people tell us still be one singular truth? Given the devastating 1945 atomic bomb tragedy in Hiroshima, where the political interests of both parties, Japan and America, were involved, different ways of telling the story have been created. This matter could be examined clearly under the scope of the two films about the tragedy made by the two countries in the years that followed: The Beginning or the End (1947) by American and Children of Hiroshim...

Aesthetics is the key word Marling uses to describe the consumer culture of the 1950s, with a growing emphasis on the new, bright, fresh and colorful.

The author sees this as a call for help or attent...
