You wanted to see who mined the bomb in a biographic based on a book biography of one man ? I would argue I wasn’t rooting for Oppenheimer . He was a human being but rooting for him ?

He like a cult leader who regrets what he created but rooting for is such a stretch lol

why do you crave seeing Japanese bombed, the bombs parts mined? You think just because it doesn't show these things we don't know the nuke is bad?

on god would be the worst parts of the film if s*** like that was in it

I would have walked out of the theater like genuinely

Just because some dumb americans in the film clap for him and call him Oppy doesn't mean the audience views him as a hero

there's no point showing the actual ww2 bombings either imo. so much of the movie is about the tension in creating such a weapon, that's why it's still a human/character story instead of just being a documentary about the trinity test. the sense of fear and power is most profoundly felt in the trinity test though. showing the ww2 bombings afterwards would only take away from that particular feeling this movie was trying to achieve. twitter people treating this like a documentary is terribly annoying lol

I think the biography was dumb and the movie suffered from it because who the f*** cares who babysat these guys in the desert for a few years. They have to call in other names to support him and it feels like fanfiction. I don't care if he's sympathetic or not. He's not interesting, emotionally compelling, etc. He's a void at the center of the film bearing his name.

The subject deserves better than his hagiography.

It seems like going into it . It wasn't for you

LMFAO

all of this

watch a documentary because all of what you are asking for is a documentary

True but it was also bad

Ngl knowing what we know now about how brutal things were in Russia and how many spies they did it indeed have penetrating the western governments, McCarthy/Hoover low-key didn't go hard enough

Couldn’t be that simple Breh this film sxn

No it was not

Lol you are on your own I’m not arguing this one with you

they never ever acknowledge something could not be their taste especially when it has high ratings they rather say "everyone is lying about this film" before they say "this isn't my taste"

hard agree

Movie was good don't get me wrong..but did it blow my socks off like Interstellar, Dunkirk, Inception, TDK, Tenet..idk

I liked it for unecpected reasons..
-the way they would show the same scene in subjective/objective matter was really cool
-Einstien's last scene with Opp was amazing, including how its cut and his narration and how it cuts back to him sheeeesh

i'd say the editing of this movie is more impressive than anything else

and my god coming from the man that made the AWE INSPIRING visuals in Interstellar, the bomb was incredibly lackluster esp with all the hype behind it.

s*** felt like a tiny explosion to me, ngl

I thought i was gonna see the iconic mushroom cloud, or some sort of scale, it just felt like a big explosion far off in the distance..normal real looking fireball like i've seen in every action movie of the late 90's and early 2000's..

I'd go so far as to most historical films shouldn't exist tbh. Read a book like a grown up. Nolan was more fun 10 years ago

things users wanted to see in a 3 hour movie titled Oppenheimer

• the bombing of hiroshima
  -the bombing of nagasaki
  -the mining of resources for the bomb
  -mexicans die in new mexico because of the chemical trails of the bomb
  -a bigger bomb
• a louder bomb
• a mushroom cloud ( when going in they told everyone it was practical effects)
  -better written women characters in a movie that takes place in a time where women were viewed as lesser

historical films shouldn't exist is fair. I say watch a documentary, read a book, watch a youtube video about topics on here often. But to act like this movie is worshipping Oppenheimer or the bomb is disingenuous

but also if you think historical films shouldn't exist no matter how well they get reviewed not watching them is an option you have available

Pan the camera 90 degrees during the movie screening of the fall out.
