russianbot23Yeah. The visuals were good but it’s really not THAT visual of a movie to the point where IMAX is necessary to fully enjoy it.
As far as the movie in general there’s a lot of great scenes and performances in it, but I thought the pacing was bad.
The clearance hearing & Strauss stuff were not interesting enough to justify that much screen time. The movie even acknowledges it at the end “hey Strauss maybe Oppenheimer & Einstein were actually talking about something more important than you.” Exactly so why did we just spend an hour+ on Strauss?
Edit: after sitting on it for a while and getting my thoughts together ima just admit it; this movie was very disappointing.
It completely lacks a centerpiece. The test bomb did NOT do it. The movie is 2 hours of build-up and 1 hour of fallout with no climax. I understand that it would’ve been tough to depict tastefully, but Nolan needed to show something from Japan to showcase the horrors of what Oppenheimer had done.
As it stands the movie is just hours of guys in rooms telling us that bombs are bad. There’s no captivating debate here, there’s no tension. I don’t care about Oppenheimer’s security clearance. I don’t care about Strauss’s cabinet confirmation.
ive been struggling to put my thoughts in words but i feel very close to this
i think the bomb scenes were awesome acting was awesome music framing all that
but there was no wow factor with the plot. there was no real 'climax' or 'a ha' moment or twist
but also i think my expectations were so high its hard. id still give it a 7-8/10

How can a biopic have a twist

How can a biopic have a twist
i knew the twist part was going to make someone get hung up on it
dont need a crazy plot device or twist or anything like that
my point was more there wasnt that real wow moment for me that literally every nolan film ever has given me. it couldve been something super emotional, anything.

No I was genuinely curious what you are saying is fair . Jean death is quick moment and she not contextualized enough . The bomb is the bomb . Shoe historical moments are news paper as they should be . Trial and when Strauss finally gets called out would be the closest I can think to a big moment . Rami calling him out was dope but wasn’t a punch
Ending was a good punch though too

Probably Nolan’s most mature film- Jul 23, 2023
Did Einstein really look like that?
Felt like someone doing Einstein cosplay
Like, the mustache was off

yes, halfway through the film it turns into TENET 2
Jul 23, 2023·1 replythis was a good movie, but carried largely by nolans usage of visuals and sound to depict oppenheimers inner thoughts and psyche. the montage near the beginning of the film, the trinity test, and the speech scenes were all highlights, and were very psychedelic which was interesting to see in what could have been a very traditional, classical historical drama. nolans ability to convey the scale of oppenheimers interior life and have it align with the tension of building the bomb was exactly the kind of audiovisual experience i wanted
what i think stops this movie from being a masterpiece though are some inconsistencies with dialogue, visual storytelling, and my personal dislike of the scenes from strauss' perspective. for someone who wants to treat the audience as smart, nolan continues his reliance on typical dialogue cliches and usage of music to tell the audience how to feel in a certain scene (though this last criticism is more directed towards ludwig). it's all very unsubtle, which again helps the film with regard to the grand scale of its subject matter, but hinders it in terms of the small-scale relationships and conversations.
i also felt like most of the strauss scenes could've benefited from a sharper writer. alden ehrenreich's character was essentially a person acting as a stand-in for the audience, whom strauss only delivered exposition to (a typical nolan trope). the conflict between strauss and oppenheimer i also thought wasn't as strongly developed as in movies like social network and amadeus. i often found myself just wanting to get back to oppenheimers perspective whenever strauss came on screen

Facts, Strauss was a bit cartoonish
Also, there was one point where I didn’t know what was happening, and I could only tell what the emotion of the scene was through the score, so I guess the composer did that for people like me lol - Jul 23, 2023·1 replyJonboi

HURRY UP BGFXThat scene where Oppenheimer was giving that speech to those group of people was super intense

Hmmm. That’s a good point. 🤔 The stakes of Oppenheimer’s security clearance felt a bit small potatoes, well said.
