[KineJapan] Oppenheimer in Japan

[Rea Amit]

Hello everyone,


Here is a NYT piece from today about Nolan’s Oscar-winning film in Japan:


https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/01/world/asia/oppenheimer-opens-japan.html


While there is a lot to to say about the reception of the film in Japan, I
am particularly intrigued by this:


"Mindful of domestic sensitivities, some theaters in Japan are carrying
trigger warnings, with signs cautioning audiences about scenes 'that may
remind viewers of the damage caused by the atomic bombings.'”


I asked people I know in Japan who have seen the film, but they were not
warned. Does anyone know what these “trigger warnings” might be?



Have these kinds of signs been used in other screenings in the past? Which
theaters use them?


I would appreciate any information about this.


Thanks,

Rea
