Pumpkin-boms ww2.
Eivät nämä olisi kai ketään tappaneet, mutta liittyivät isompaan kuvioon. Kaiken näköistä.

What is the context for your video?
The film is based on the history of the “pumpkin bombs.” During World War II, 49 pumpkin bombs were dropped in Japan as “dummy” bombs prior to the atomic bombs dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The weapons were nicknamed pumpkin bombs because of their bulbous shape. I am interested in this history because the names given to the bombs seem very humorous. Why would something so destructive be named something “cute” like Fat Man and Little Boy?
- What is the theme in your work?
I am focusing on current and historical nuclear issues and the many connections between Japan and the United States. There is a huge gap between told history and actual experience, which we have to bridge in some way. We tend to refer to statistics when facing massive ethical questions such as nuclear warfare. For example, the US justified dropping the atomic bomb in Japan with the logic that the act could hasten Imperial Japan’s surrender and minimize the total number of casualties. Even if this calculation might not be wrong mathematically, but in any case there is no way to bridge the ideas of mega death and individual sacrifice. Fifty-four nuclear reactors in Japan were also built justified with similar statistics. Since the 1950′s the Japanese government rapidly built nuclear plants in remote areas to revitalize high-growth economy in the capital. Provinces were sacrificed and critical risks were concealed.
