Fukushima - Die Welt am Abgrund

11032011, a date ill always remember, not because i was there, no, its 2 days before my birthday. but i remember the images flowing the screens, but for us norwegians, the fukushima incident was barely mentioned.the main issue was the tsunami, that killed and wrecked so much.

this is not a documentary, its a drama about the heroes, doing heroic things in a heroic way to save japan from the radiation. it shows also the ignorance from to politicians who orders in east and west over things they have no knowledge about. its made for the layman tv-viewer, withthe lines of command, and the bending and bowing and kamikaze like behaviour for the love of my country, etches alltrough the plot.

but i saw it and i do not regret. but if you want the more abstract version, then seek information in the documentary world.the grumpy old man says 5.

Being Engineer, I think Power Generators should be located at height & backwards ( not sea facing ). May save the Blast which happened at Nuclear Site in Fukushima in 2011 duebto Tsunami.

I watched this movie the first time on Netflix in Europe. It was pretty good, good actors, bit cheap CGI but ok, as far as Japanese movies go, it's pretty decent. However, there were some jarring cuts to "American" soldiers and "American" embassy personnel that completely changed the tone of the movie, putting a spin on it that it the poor Japanese should be helped by Americans or otherwise will not manage to cope with the situation.

On a rewatch using a different site, I found out that the jarring American scenes are only in there in western markets, to appeal to foreign viewers. The original cut doesn't include any western bits and leave a lot of the cheesy and redundant scenes out of it.

So, if you watch this, make sure you watch the Japanese cut in Japanese language. You will thank me later.

( there been people making multiple accounts rating bombing negative review on this site... no reason to care anymore rate like or neg reviews people do this to make a statement their own person basis(s)) to them its a game.

................. When this happened, it was unreal. Nothing in my years have experienced could help me better understand this. The earth quack was first. But after the meltdown everyone in Tokyo was told the radiation clouds winds hit us. There was no escape. But as the winds changed it was then safe. This movie is low budget, but does that matter? No, what is the people that gave their self's to help stop this. Its just not the 50 but the 10,000s that hurt by the fallout. What sad is this current virus prevented this movie to get this respect it should get. Its a must see. Thank you.

As Japanese, we have to keep thinking why our nation was helped out of ultimate destruction at that time. Major element might have been simply a chance, considering the fact that we could hardly understand what was going on.

However, it is also true that nuclear engineers struggled for their lives in order to save Japan. Common people behaved calmly amid such a hopeless situation. It was not because somebody ordered them to do so but they originally had the sense of mission. Their noble sense was well expressed in this work.

Memory of Fukushima disaster must not be forgotten. I hope this movie can contribute to this purpose.
