Perfect timing.

thank you for that helpful and detailed insight

I like the father daughter Event at the end of the movie. Where the raging alcoholic comes in and Talks about the imminent end of the World.

Does it take place in St. Louis?

Guys guys. This is the movie forum.

You must first go see the movie, or at least wait for someone with a brain, like Summit, who read the book.

Doesn't quite live up to what the trailers are teasing, but a really good, thought provoking movie. Its interesting that a viewer (a least this viewer) comes away from a three hour movie without really knowing why Oppenheimer is opposed to nuclear weapons. Is it because he lost control of the project? Is it because others went beyond his research? Is it because we could all die from an exchange of nuclear weapons? Its never quite spelled out and Murphy does a very good job of playing a protagonist who you'd like to root for, but are never really sure of his intentions. Very complicated figure. 4.5/5 because I had to go to the bathroom about 2.5 hours in. See it in IMAX. (Also this is an Oppenheimer movie and not a Manhattan Project movie, although the two are intimately intertwined.)

India is not pleased.

Check that: Hindustan/Hundustanis are not pleased.

Oppenheimer seemed to want the responsibility of having created the bomb: he said that the physicists involved in the project had “known sin”. Von Neumann responded, pithily, that “Sometimes someone confesses a sin in order to take credit for it.” When AI researchers now talk of the threat of AI, how it could destroy humanity, there is a hint of that – what we are doing is so amazing and powerful that it could destroy the world, aren’t you impressed?

Definitely a strong smell of that. One of the many aspects of lust for power, I suppose.

Yes. That is the core theme of the movie. Power and the people who harness it's many forms.

Is a Barbie Oppenheimer double feature really a thing? I’ve heard many going for this , quite telling.

Yes, it is.

Me and two co-workers just came out of OPPENHARBIE (we saw Oppenheimer first followed by Barbie).
I feel this is the perfect order to see them in, as Nolan’s film is pretty heavy and sobering and Gerwig’s film is hilarious. Yet both films share a similar through-line.

Both films are excellent.

Jeebus ...... I'm not sure I can sit through Oppy, let both at one sitting. How many times did you get up to walk and stretch?

I made it through Oppenheimer in one sitting. And the seats in our IMAX are hella uncomfortable. We were also smack dab in the middle of a packed row, so getting up during the film didn’t seem to be an option unless I wanted to be rude. Also, the film is pretty damn riveting.
We had a 45-minute break between the two, so we went for a walk and then some drinks before Barbie (I did have to get up and pee during Barbie, though, and sadly missed the big feminist rallying speech ).

If you can see it in 70mm IMAX, that will be the way to go…

Limited screenings, however:

If you’re a tech nerd…IMAX had to develop a device to accommodate Oppenheimer as their projectors can only hold 150-minutes worth of film:

I loved Oppenheimer. Incredible cast whom I felt nailed their roles. I may be a biased science nerd, but it was still great.

[subtle plague]

Oppenheimer is absolutely fantastic.
I wasn't Bored for one second. In a 3 hour biopic about a physicist nontheless.
