Saw the Oppenheimer movie.
My view Meh - ok. I found the constant breaks of cinematic pauses where Oppenheimer could go into retrospection or have crises of conscience irritating. Mat Damon did a good job as Groves. I still like Watterson’s portrayal of Oppenheimer better.

TDS by the moderator at the end is humorous...
Klaus Fuchs, Ted Hall, David Greenglass, the Rosenbergs, all passed atomic secrets on to the Soviet Union. There was no shortage of Soviet sympathizers and spies in and around the Manhattan Project.
The movie does show all that.
Thank you. I finally got to watch it. I enjoyed it but it was not the masterpiece I expected it to be. Also, I’m not that sympatico about commies and commie sympathizers in general.
