It is a shame that the writer of this review focused his article (and space) on himself rather than on this moving film about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and one survivor, which certainly need more attention than the writer’s reminiscences of his boyhood. Moreover, Mr. McReynolds clearly missed the point by reducing it to a “narration of the watercolors.” Has he never heard of art therapy? Another connection he was unable to make was the survival of horseshoe crabs and the survival of human beings. Just as the crabs are being threatened (by human sprawl, human pollution, etc.), human survival is threatened by nuclear weapons.
Did I really read this in “Win?”
