Hiroshima Movie Quotes
Narrator
For a moment, the navigator forgot he was in a war and gave himself over to his thoughts. He suddenly remembered what was about to happen to the people of Hiroshima. His mission was bringing doom to those people. The "gadget" in the belly of his plane was a weapon far beyond imagination. It was an atomic bomb. The 20th Century had seen the advent of a bomb powerful enough to kill every human being within a kilometer of its blast center. Worse still, the radioactivity from the bomb would do incalculable damage to all living creatures in the vicinity. Hiroshima would instantly become a city of corpses. That thought led Van Krik to a feeling of utter emptiness. Overwhelmed by sadness, desperate for something to cling to, he suddenly recalled his mother's face.

I watched a film called, "Monsieur Verdoux". In this film, someone said, "One murder makes a villain; millions a hero." I was shocked and thought it was true.

What's wrong?
Kei
The other day, you said that you'd marry me.
Yukio Endo
Yes, I did.
Kei
What do you mean by that?
Yukio Endo
I mean... nothing in particular.
Kei
Look, Yokio, with this body that I have, I shouldn't think of marriage. But you know sometimes I think about it and start to weep. Yukio, can you understand? Maybe you think I'm silly, but I'm a woman! So if you were joking - I'm sure it was a joke - your saying that made me terribly sad. It reminds me of what I try to erase. Yukio, please don't say that again. Not only to me, but also to the other wounded girls who were victims of the FLASH. You understand my feelings, don't you?

Scientist Advisor
Since the USA has now developed the atomic bomb, we should consider very carefully how to proceed with the war.
Senior Military Officer
We understand your opinion as a scientist, but scientists are also His Majesty's subjects and His children. Consequently the fate of the empire depends on this war. Any negative behavior or speech will not be allowed. The nation must help His Majesty and dedicate our lives and everything we have to Him. This is the principle of the Japanese race and military. The Soviet Union's entry into the war yesterday and America's atomic bomb should not be feared. We believe we will win out against the atomic bomb! Japan's victory will not come because of some armchair theory but because of the fervent will to win burning like one hundred million meteors.

Orphan Boy 2
What does "Hanguri" mean?
Young Yukio
I don't know, but if we say it, the "Hello" guys give us chocolates and bread. So we say "Hanguri".
Orphan Boy 2
Got it.
Young Yukio
Hey, you, don't forget it.

Will war break out again? Is so, we are going to be forced onto the battlefield this time. And then we'll be forced to kill people whom we have nothing against. Again, truly innocent people will be killed by an atomic bomb.

Army Announcer
I'm going to relate to you all the prefectural governor's opinion. He says that, "This damage has been caused by the strategy of our enemy to shatter our fighting spirit through brutal air raids. Citizens of Hiroshima! The damages are considerable but these are typical in this war. I assure you that we are developing relief and restoration plans, and will not be daunted by the enemy's attacks. Our army will supply us with enormous support. Return immediately to your jobs. This war will not stop for even a day. Return immediately to your jobs. This war will not stop for even a day. With warm affection for brothers-in-arms, you must care for victims, encourage this, and plan for their swift return to battle. In the wake of this disaster, unfortunately, there are many casualties. Rather than be stupefied, you should pay tribute to their memory and pray that their souls may rest in peace. And steel yourselves to the task of revenging these deaths on our sworn enemy. We will believe in our victory over every hardship, and devote ourselves to the war in the name of the Emperor. August 7, Junshin Takano, the prefectural governor."

Army Officer
The fate of a hundred million Japanese depends on this battle in our land. The Emperor deigned to make you his subjects; therefore, we must regard this as an honor and never forget the spirit of loyalty and patriotism. Think only of engaging the enemy and all measures to defeat the savages of the United States and the United Kingdom.

Caretaker
Your mother and brother died in the "FLASH". Were you in the bomb shelter? Your father took your mother and brother's bones to the countryside where you had been evacuated, but he ended up getting there after you had left. Some acquaintances were taking care of him, but he came down with the A-bomb sickness and now he's in the hospital.
