Robert Downey Jr was good in the film...
By the way, Gary Oldman played President Truman...
In the film, Truman is annoyed with Oppenheimer...Oppenheimer told Truman that he felt really bad about using the atomic bomb...
I do like those 2.
There were multiple “Batman” cast in this Nolan flick as well.
“I am become Shiva, destroyer of worlds.”
James Woods was an executive producer for Oppenheimer. I’m thinking Oppenheimer gets best picture.
My neighbor showed Oppenheimer last week at the exact time I had a Dr. apt. Glad to know it’s a good movie, will catch it someday.
Neighbor, BTW, grew up in Hollywood, knows some movie people and has DVDs of every movie ever made. He’s a bit of a PIA egomaniac but the movies are fun.
True to the book. Truman felt Oppenheimer was a weepy willow.
Oppenheimer, a determined Leftist and almost certainly a communist and source for Soviet spies, regarded the bomb as justified if used against the Nazis but not if used against Japan. The distinguishing aspect was that use against of the A bomb the Nazis would help Stalin and the Soviets but impede their chances to control Japan if used to prompt an earlier surrender. And, as Truman knew, A bombing Japan saved hundreds of thousands of American lives.
