I’m a huge student of WWII and read a lot about this project which, believe it or not, was cheaper than the project from which came the Boeing B-29.
Yet, I’m really not that interested in this movie. I’ve gotten to where I just don’t trust Hollywood with “based on a true story” movies. I prefer pure fiction. If I want to know about the development of the nuclear bomb I prefer to read non-fiction about it.
Why must every movie be so long now ? Even dumb comedies are clocking in at 2 hours . This film is 3 hours ! Think I’ll take a pass. No wonder films cost 100s of millions of dollars to make.
I generally like Nolan but I doubt he has anything THAT interesting to say that would justify three hours
He was a commie sympathizer.
The author really liked the movie.
I’ll pass.
If it comes from Hollywood, it’s Propaganda.
I remember a quote from Oppenheimer. I can’t find it anymore. It was something to the effect that we could not be trusted with the bomb. I originally thought the “we” referred to mankind. Now I think it refers to the United States.
Oppenheimer was a commie lover.
His girlfriend was a communist.
Given the idiotically overheated prose in the first few paragraphs I want neither to finish the review or see the damn movie.
I read it’s rated R for graphic sex scenes. It’s a pass for me.

I had trouble hearing some of the dialogue. The audio level of the music made it hard to hear some dialogue. I totally blame the Director for this. It’s his movie. Someday, when the movie is available to watch with subtitles, then I’ll know what I missed.
Why did Oppie want to keep his security clearance? He’d done his job. Afterwards it was time to go back to Berkeley, especially if he didn’t believe in what the military was doing.
