I actually don't get your idea that Oppenheimer did behave badly towards Jean (at least as depicted in the movie). She basically tortured him with mixed signals everytime. He stayed nice and tried to show his affections. Once he fell in love with someone else, he told her immediately. So then after a breakup, what does relationship advice tell us? A complete cut of communication is best for at least some time. Also Oppenheimer would basically risk his entire life by seeing her. After two (?) years of maybe more than one letter he received from her, where she again! put a burden on a person she was never there for, he decides to risk it all and visit her. The only asshole point I see here is that apparently in this last meeting they slept again together. But basically Jean emotionally blackmailed him for years and he put up with it, cause he knew it's not her fault.

2024-01-06 02:21:52 +0000 UTCI enjoyed the movie, but there is a piece of this that the book and movie danced around. Virtually everyone in his circle was or at one time was a Communist. It is still up for some debate whether he was himself, but when his security clearance was revoked, there was a lot more to it. It is assumed that Strauss went after Oppenheimer for personal reasons, however, it is equally as likely he was acting in the best interest of the country as he saw it. At that time, the US and Soviet Union were in a cold war, an arms race, and Oppenheimer was trying to use his prestige to weaken the US position in relation to arms and development. Whether this was because he believed it or it was what the communist party wanted is anyone's guess. The reality is that had he not have been deemed essential to the project, he would have never been given a clearance and based on his relationships and background, it should have been revoked right after the war. It was a good movie though and they made RDJ out to be a great antagonist (you could say villain but in the movie, there are many who could be considered villains)

2023-12-24 05:27:25 +0000 UTCThere was one Japanese man, Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who was coincidentally present at and survived both atomic bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And he amazingly lived to the age of 93 in 2010. Also idk if you noticed Vee, but Strauss's assistant with the glasses played Malarkey in Band of Brothers!

2023-12-22 14:22:51 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed the reaction. I like the emphasis you put on the morality of building the bomb. This has turned into a movie I rewatch at the drop of a hat. Iβm glad you came round on Emily Blunt, I think Kitty is the heart of the movie.

2023-12-22 12:11:11 +0000 UTCEnjoyed the reaction Vee! It's such a great film and I think it gets better with each watch. It also helps with remembering names and faces. I will say, that there is actually a specific use of the color and black/white scenes that isn't what you'd assume. The Black/White scenes are objective moments in the film. And the color scenes in the film are subjective. So that's why you have shots from His past and the Cabinent hearing both in Black/White. And why shots from closed hearing and the project are both in color, as we can only assume how they went down. Also he made the decision that he would not visit Jean anymore because she was a known communist and him being on the manhattan project, it could be skewed as him telling a communist secrets from the project. He wouldnβt even tell her where he was or what he was doing. Thatβs what was eating at her. He also wanted to be with her but She was very troubled suffering clinical depression and she would be either closed off or open. She wanted him but also would push him away. Itβs also possible that her death wasnβt a suicide but made to look like one. This is why the film present a quick cut of someone holding her under water, but also without the hands.

2023-12-22 08:36:32 +0000 UTCI figured you wouldn't get to talk much during this one lol. This really was an experience in IMAX. Such a great ensemble cast too. It may be my favorite Nolan movie now just because it feels like everything he has done up to this point has been leading to this. I highly recommend you watch Memento for another excellent Nolan film. Glad you are starting to feel better!

2023-12-22 08:20:46 +0000 UTCThe whole "Red Scare" backdrop and the evils that encouraged were very noteworthy during my first watching.

2023-12-22 02:41:58 +0000 UTCGreat reaction! That scene where Oppenheimer brings Einstein Teller's calculations was my favorite, it's so haunting with that heavy minimal background music increasing in intensity. I watched that scene several times.

2023-12-22 02:37:50 +0000 UTCI saw this in the theater just before it left theaters with my best friend and his family. Me and my friend were in awe at what we just watched. And yeah that silence when the bomb goes off and just instantly goes back to sound definitely makes you jump a little. What a good movie to end the year with. Finish Barbenheimer. Now I am become death. Destroyer of worlds.

2023-12-22 02:36:24 +0000 UTCVee Id like to add. Robert Oppenheimer lived a long life of guilt, so much so that in a way he slowly killed himself by smoking so much to cope that he got throat cancer and passed away due to it. What an awful feeling he must of felt, I can't even imagine.
