The movie was very interesting, although Lewis's asking 'What is that funny name (Enola Gay) doing on my plane?' is shown in a more pleasant light than the actual incident, in which Lewis was very angry at Tibbets being named to take over the Hiroshima mission. There was no recording of the crew's comments, and Lewis's 'My God' was conveyed in written form only. Intercoms on a B-29 were used by pushing a button to talk and releasing it to listen. So he put an impromptu addendum on his written statement 10 years later. Lewis had only written 'My God,' but his attitude toward nuclear weapons had changed due to the daily fears of Americans during the Cold War that the Soviets were going to nuke a U.S. It was not until 1955 when Lewis, then an employee of a candy company, told a Japanese minister that he had written, 'My God, what have we done?' in his journal. Lewis wrote 'My God' in his journal when he saw the brilliant flash of light that filled the plane and felt the shock wave from the bomb 31 seconds later. trimmerb's allegation that 'the plane's intercom' caught co-pilot Robert Lewis saying, 'My God, what have we done?' is a total falsehood. Some of the reviews of this movie are more fabrication than fact.
