Similarities to today: Discarding heroes when they're no longer useful. Name a few.

Interenting: Casey Affleck and Rami Malek playing secondary roles in the film after being leading men in other movies. Work in Hollywood's gotta be hard to come by.

I don't know what it is. It's Hollywood's take on the issue. 3 hours. I'm sure they took liberties with the truth. Was his foolin' around with other women important? Perhaps a documentary would have been too boring for people's attention spans.

Maybe or maybe not, but it was the truth.

Any movie that lasts three hours is full of fillers and is beyond my ability to watch.

I'd go to sleep and miss the wonderful {American life saving} explosion at the end.

Did the japs bomb Pearl Harbor and kill hundreds of civilians, destroy multiple US Naval vessels and thousands of our young sailors, to get the USA into WW II ?

F'em.

We took a brilliant German, gave him money and power, and he {and his team} developed Little Man and FatBoy, and ended the war that would have seen hundreds of thousands {or millions} of additional people slaughtered.

The movie is a movie.

I thought it was very average and very long. And the nude scene conversation in their living room or wherever was totally unnecessary.

I heard Oppenheimer was the bomb!

Oppenheimer's “other woman” was notorious for communist ties. And there is good reason to suspect that Oppenheimer intentionally provided information to a Soviet spy in order to help Stalin's A-bomb program.

They have to add gratuitous sex to get people to pay for a 3 hour bomb movie

Oppenheimer is a great movie. I sat through 5 min of the tail end of Barbie to watch it, which was the most painful 5 min of my life. Oppenheimer was not what I expected. So what. It was a wonderful 3 hrs of movie watching, in which I ACTUALLY LEARNED SOMETHING. I hope it wins many Oscars, but in reality we’ll see multiple Oscars for Barbie and Ken.

I thought the two nude scenes DID NOT BELING in this movie, they were basically out of context. Other than that, I give it a 9 out of 10. You really should watch the documentary in it that is on YouTube. It is cerebral and a little difficult to follow. People think it is about him building the first atomic bomb, actually it is his post mortum Nobel Prize that was not given to him because big gov decided to play politics.

At least the Oppenheimer movie wasn’t a bomb.
