The movie is an excellent adaptation of the book and well worth seeing. But I would suggest reading the book first.
Vonnegut is definitely against the bombing and based on his experience, who would argue against him?
And so it goes.
Vonnegut's opinion wouldn't have mattered on this thread, apparently.
A Jewish soldier who fought the Germans in combat would no doubt be called a Nazi apologist by some on this thread for daring to be sympathetic to those who were incinerated in this bombing. (I mean, just because he and the other POWs had been pressed into service to remove the dead, what would he know?) < /s>
