🎥 Oppenheimer

[sly stump]

was pack

dont do that to yourself

[pseudo arrow]

Gonna be rewatching Oppenheimer in this position this thursday

at the TCL Chinese Theatre

Fuck it’s in LA

Gonna have to go there early

Because of LA rush hour traffic at 5pm

And also the film immediately starting at 6

[sly stump]

fake a limp, and bring a doctors note, get handicap seating

man i cant believe how mega sold out these movies are lol

[south linden]

leave at 4pm, get there early, sit in the car in the parking lot if too early

[pseudo arrow]

Yeah imma prolly go there at 4pm and wait inside the theatre

Don’t want to be outside where there’s a lot of homeless

[south linden]

I'm in OC haven't been in L.A. in a while, I've heard the homeless problem is getting bad, I see it in huntington beach

its REALLY bad in norcal

[pseudo arrow]

Yeah my relatives up in Sacramento and San Francisco are saying really bad things about it

Been up to DTLA for Anime Expo 3 weeks ago. It seemed moderate, prolly near skid row is worse

I feel like at Hollywood, there’s gonna be a ton of homeless people

[south linden]

how was Anime Expo, it looked so mobbed even more so than San diego this year

[pseudo arrow]

It wasn’t too bad, it wasn’t cramped bad

But it was a lot of people still

People still moved to make way

[south linden]

thats cool

[pseudo arrow]

It was fucking rad this year

With summer fest and neon district

Neon district especially since I saw Shaq DJ live

And everyone went nuts

[sly stump]

man i went to Hollywood blvd to see the stars on the sidewalk

i dont think ive never seen that much human feces that wasnt my own in

[south linden]

sorry that happened, it wasn't always like that

[neon sorrel]

Dumb question, Why was Robert Oppenheimer trying to Martyr himself again?

[south linden]

hollywood has always been alittle dirty and the traffic stinks but that area used to be fine for tourists and seeing the stars, the handprints etc, there also used to be cool stores there

[round quail]

TCL's projector has been wonky in the past day or two

[pseudo arrow]

Guessing you went there yourself?

[round quail]

no from twitter and reddit there were a few posts of audio not working and picture cutting out

id call and make sure its working before you go

[pseudo arrow]

Aight imma call, asking the imax Reddit rn for their experience

[neon sorrel]

So i got lost in the third act, can i ask a question here?

[pseudo arrow]

Just called the TCL Chinese theatre, they had their repairman over and it’s fixed

[neon sorrel]

Apparently the reel is breaking IMAX projectors in alot of places

[sly stump]

ego

[neon sorrel]

Follow up

So ego was why he was letting Strauss mudslinging and not retaliate with the truth himself?

[sly stump]

yes he wanted to be right and force them to tell the truth

but in turn their truth was writing him out of it

[pseudo arrow]

Personally I thought it was Strauss attacking Oppie for his position at the AEC. Because he thought Oppie and Einstein were talking shit to him and the isotope joke he made to him

[neon sorrel]

Yeah

[sly stump]

both had very strong egos

[neon sorrel]

I see now

Me too, that was for me my main takeaway after seeing it for the first time

[pseudo arrow]

So hyped for my rewatch of Oppenheimer in imax 70mm this Thursday

[neon sorrel]

Congratulations

[blazing rivet]

Truman was a massive fuckface

[pseudo arrow]

Prolly gonna have a more enriching experience to understand the movie more

[blazing rivet]

Truman was famously emasculated by the FDR administration. Vice Presidents actually got the shit end of the stick and nobody respected him or his office, so when Truman took office he was notified of a major project right under his nose.

As a show of force, he wanted to use the bombs despite arguments from the international community that a surrender was being brokered by the Soviet Union/Allies from the Japanese government.

So yeah, he's the type of the dude to call a person taller and bigger than him a bitch because he, himself, is a loser.

[pseudo arrow]

That is just sad

[round quail]

good, you'll enjoy it

[pseudo arrow]

We could’ve had a reality where Nagasaki and Hiroshima wasn’t nuked

[blazing rivet]

What Nolan meant by calling oppie a weiner is beyond me. Maybe it was just to shove Oppie in a corner for the audience to sympathize with the dude who helped bring the atom bomb into existence.

[neon sorrel]

So did Oppie still want to use the nuke when Nazi Germany lost?

[pseudo arrow]

Thinking more of it and discussing others with it , I feel like it’s harder to sympathize with Oppie

[blazing rivet]

At the end of the day it wasn't his call.

[neon sorrel]

But he would have rather not had if he could do something ?

[blazing rivet]

Hard to say. I find it difficult to believe that he didn't think it was going to be used as a weapon of mass destruction but the first test for the weapon wasn't until 1945, so it wouldn't have mattered about Nazi Germany.

[neon sorrel]

How come?

[blazing rivet]

Guy aided in the development of a weapon of mass destruction.

I don't think Oppie is a massive shithead but at the end of the day he is the father of the bomb.

It's perfectly acceptable to be critical of a man like that.

[pseudo arrow]

Like lemme explain something first. Oppie poisoned an apple because he hated his teacher so much and in the last minute he tried to get rid of it. With the Manhattan project, he created it just to destroy the Nazis and when hitler dead, he still created it and then he made a last minute regret

Imagining the lives lost from Hiroshima and Nagasaki

And his theory of the chain reaction coming through

[pseudo arrow]

Yeah true, his actions, whether good or bad. Lead him to solidify in history as the father of the atom bomb

[blazing rivet]

He's not my uncle or anything. I'm gonna be critical 😎

[neon sorrel]

I agree, the first act makes developing the bomb seem moral since the Nazis were raging war and genocide, but, like you said, chain reaction of power

So it seems like Oppie was, lacking in judgment that he needed for creating such an apocalyptic weapon

[pseudo arrow]

Thinking more about it

They could’ve not developed the atom bomb science Heisenberg was Jewish and Hitler was a dumbass and such a anti semitic

[neon sorrel]

Yeah, someone in the movie even says so, that antisemitism is one hope preventing the nazis from creating the bomb

[pseudo arrow]

man thinking about the what ifs fills me up with sadness that what it could've been and what would've been better excites me

[modest ravine]

Wow

[pseudo arrow]

I think learning about history helps us not repeat the same mistakes that ones before us did

[modest ravine]

This chat has gotten very political

But I hope you guys understand the Japanese would’ve fought to the last man

They were very much influenced by ideas like Bushido, which in one of its aspects frowns upon surrender.

[pseudo arrow]

well one of the guys said here in the chat that the soviets and allies were discussing peace talks with the japanese

speaking of Japanese, I wonder how the Japan reacted to the movie

reacted to the man who created the very bomb that destroyed hiroshima and nagasaki

[modest ravine]

The only one who wanted peace was the emperor

And at that point most of the military commanders were deposed to him

[pseudo arrow]

yeah there were probably some japanese who stayed true to their insane honor philosophy back then

[modest ravine]

Enough to a point where the emperor effectively lost face

[lusty cedar]

1 thing people don't seems to talk about. Everyone were developing nuke at the time

Us, German, Japan

[pseudo arrow]

https://vxtwitter.com/LeCinephiles/status/1683251464809119744?s=20

[neon sorrel]

So now thinking about it, man this movie was as depressing as any big budget Hollywood movie i can think of, bleakness and despair defining its final image

[pseudo arrow]

yeah the ending scene is still haunting to me

[lusty cedar]

The ending shows minuteman 1,2,3, which is sort of a near obsolete system 😂

Somehow I know where they were filming it

FE Warren base I believe

[pseudo arrow]

well its obselete now, but seeing those ICBM back then must've been terrifying

[neon sorrel]

For me the score was overused in many scenes that could have gone without it, but when it worked, there are moments of absolute jaw dropping beauty in its despair

I'll go to the rewatch with some notes, specifically the names of the actors characters since i suck at remembering them, im much better at remembering faces

[lusty cedar]

I kinda hate how they quickly brush through this scene. For me this was my favorite moment in the book

“In the dark days of the early fifties, when troubles crowded in upon [Oppenheimer] from many sides and when he found himself harassed by his position at the center of controversy, I drew his attention to the fact that he would be welcome in a hundred academic centers abroad and asked him whether he had not thought of taking residence outside this country. His answer, given to me with tears in his eyes: ‘Damn it, I happen to love this country.’”

[pseudo arrow]

Yeah I only remember a few characters names lmao

[neon sorrel]

And that lost me in the third act since it becomes a "he said she said"

[pseudo arrow]

yeah true lmao

[pseudo arrow]

yeah I can imagine the book had more to pack

[neon sorrel]

That would have been good

I might read the books movies are adapted from now in the future before watching them

[lusty cedar]

Edward Teller was a much bigger asshole in real life than how they portrait him in the movie

[lusty cedar]

If it make you feel better, I finished 3 series of book related to this Era and I still don't remember who was who lol

[neon sorrel]

Yeah that would make sense, he essentially is the only main physicist that testifies against him in the movie

[lusty cedar]

Manhattan project was my obsession for awhile

[neon sorrel]

Thanks, im not as dumb as i thought

[pseudo arrow]

all I roughly remember about him is he gets invited to manhattan project, gives a cool idea for the Atom Bomb, and then tries to leave the project and comes back, and yeah thats all I can remember

[lusty cedar]

Edward Teller is your classic mad scientist. He was the father of hydrogen bomb, which by itself is what we are currently using for our nuclear arsenal.

He also proposed a lot of idea that one would consider to be mad

1 of his idea was to build a bomb that would be big enough where you can just detonate it once and it will destroy the earth. This way, you don't need to spend money to invent a new delivery platform (icbm, sub, or bomber) since all u need to do is detonating it on US soil and kill everyone on earth

[pseudo arrow]

damn I don't remember Teller saying that but that is mental of him

[sly stump]

Where at?

Only like 20 places in whole country

[pseudo arrow]

the TCL Chinese Theatre

at Hollywood

[sly stump]

Nice

Super jealous

I'm shocked nowhere in Chicago is doing it

[pseudo arrow]

[fiery river]

Imagine such a theatre to watch something like Morbius in

[pseudo arrow]

yeah

managed to get a seat on the left side

[hearty pilot]

nice

i have to see in either 70mm or imax

😔

how u see first time

@pseudo arrow

[pseudo arrow]

Here's a tip I heard being tossed around for viewing IMAX 70mm Oppenheimer, just don't go to the theatres that are connected to a mall/outlet

[wary flame]

This your screen? I question how old it is!

[pseudo arrow]

it's the TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX 70mm

[wary flame]

Oh my I'm very stupid lol

I should have known, it's the cinema in Cats Don't Dance

[hearty pilot]

closest one is irvine spectrum

thats like a center

[pseudo arrow]

heard that they switched to digital now because of the projection problems

[hearty pilot]

oh

they only had for opening night

second closest is ontario

[pseudo arrow]

These are the IMAX 70mm theatres having the problems

[wary flame]

Even if it isn't 70mm, to which there is one in Melbourne, I would hae loved to seen this in the IMAX ratio.

[hearty pilot]

1h44m from tcl

[hearty pilot]

i like 70mm better

imax just has shaking

oh

ontario died

[wary flame]

Now that I think about it more, I feel like this will get better on a re-watch.

[hearty pilot]

it is

[wary flame]

Not that it will fix the redundant scenes imo, but at least I can rear things with subtitles now :D

4/5 in a re-watch, hopefully.

[hearty pilot]

5/5

[wary flame]

Interesting, Animal Crackers...

I wouldn't call it the greatest film, but SURE

I can definitely see why people love it.

Unintentional horror in a non-horror film.

I'm still thinking about the Trinity test scene

[pseudo arrow]

this is gonna be the first 18k film I'll ever see

[hearty pilot]

W

[wary flame]

Very sweet

[hearty pilot]

70mm is beautiful tho

[wary flame]

I'll definitely check out the IMAX cinema whenever I go to stinky Melbourne

[hearty pilot]

digital imax looks like shit compared to it

[wary flame]

I feel ashamed now, I probably saw in 2K at the very least lol

[hearty pilot]

lmao

[wary flame]

😭

But still, the sound do be loud.

[hearty pilot]

then see 70mm

imax shakes u

[pseudo arrow]

I think its still insane that an IMAX camera was used to film a heavy dialogue film and Oppenheimer created the first B&W stock for IMAX

[wary flame]

Even not in IMAX, I was shaking

[hearty pilot]

lol

sound shakes u in imax

[wary flame]

Like the suspense of the shockwave just got to me

[hearty pilot]

lol

i still think its crazy that it is rated r

[pseudo arrow]

I hope the TCL Chinese Theatre will have some godly speakers than the ones at the digital imax

[hearty pilot]

||did anyone see the gloved hand on Jeans head when she was under||

[crude wraith]

Yes

[lusty cedar]

This bomb wasn't all that impressive.

The reason why soviet and Russia went/goes with bigger boom because their technology is/was so behind the US, they have to increase the size of the bomb to be able to destroy the targer

Meanwhile we have a much better precise and accurate weapon that we don't really need a bigger bomb

[pseudo arrow]

Yeah looking back now, we probably have weapons in the world that are better and precise as you said

[fluid bridge]

watched it today.
the only bad thing about it was that it ended.

dunno if its because i love phyiscs so much but seeing the scientists i usually read about was more than seeing a random marvel cameo.

[kind robin]

Ya it was great seeing those scientists.. both famous ones like Einstein, Bohr and Heisenberg but many others too who played a big role but many don't know about like Ernrest Lawrence

[wicked halo]

True

[merry spoke]

Between this and Asteroid City it's been a big year for Kurt Godel

[kind robin]

I mean, haven't watched Asteroid city but Kurt Godel was in just few seconds of Oppenheimer and I doubt vast majority of people even know him.. He was that guy with Einstein when Oppenheimer was going to talk to him

Extensive documented footage of different bomb test's, terrifying

[blazing rivet]

You do realize that a surrender was being written, right?

Also

complains about politics in a channel for a movie that's... political

Giving Truman a pass is reductive

It just feels incredibly unusual to imply that Japan was ready to keep going even because there are diplomatic cables discovered by the US that elements within the Japanese government (not just the Emperor) were open to surrender.

Like this is information that can be looked up. Giving Truman a pass based on misinformation is a gross misuse of accessible information.

[wicked ginkgo]

that give me chills

[summer dagger]

the entire military leadership wanted to fight to the last person. the notion they were about to surrender is a revisionist thinking of the scenario, not supported by historical evidence

[blazing rivet]

You would think

But I'm getting this information from the US Department of Energy and the Atomic Heritage Foundation.

You're welcome to disagree. In fact I welcome reasonable and logical discussion.

It's alright to call it revisionist because that's how history operates - we revise the history and we apply new sociopolitical context to situations compounded by new evidence.

[summer dagger]

im calling it revisionist because its bullshit not backed by history

[summer dagger]

please post it, because i guarantee it doesn't say that

what was being said was an agreement was negotiated with the soviets, before the soviets instead invaded as well

[blazing rivet]

Will you please watch your language with me?

There's no need for it

[summer dagger]

im being perfectly reasonable here

[blazing rivet]

Clain, I like you and normally you're incredibly level headed but I don't get why you would just jump to "bullshit".

[summer dagger]

im calling the notion bullshit, because it is, and no, revisionist history is not a good thing

thats just basic facts

[blazing rivet]

https://ahf.nuclearmuseum.org/ahf/history/debate-over-japanese-surrender/

This article goes over both your traditionalist school of thought, revisionist, Soviet Invasion theory, and in the end describes the Japanese surrender was truly hard to say

In fact the article encourages a blending of the two major thoughts

[summer dagger]

it shows the revisionist school of thought had no backing in its theories

it makes no claim a surrender was being drafted or even considered

[blazing rivet]

Are we reading the same article?

[summer dagger]

yes

[blazing rivet]

I'm curious because it cites a study from the US Strategic Bombing Survey.

[summer dagger]

go read its section on the revisionist school, it thouroughly debunks the notion

[blazing rivet]

It doesn't really debunk it because that's now the point of the article.

[summer dagger]

thats a hypothetical, not in line with actual historical evidence shows what you claim

[blazing rivet]

Clain, I recognize that you want to debunk it but you're getting very emotionally charged in this discussion.

[summer dagger]

You do realize that a surrender was being written, right?

im being perfectly calm

[blazing rivet]

https://www.osti.gov/opennet/manhattan-project-history/Events/1945/surrender.htm

[summer dagger]

but i think you dont understand what you are saying

[blazing rivet]

Excuse me?

You're being very rude.

It's not like you. Very unlike you.

[summer dagger]

im not being rude at all

im just stating facts here

[blazing rivet]

As am I.

[summer dagger]

i dont see the freakout being warranted

[blazing rivet]

Me neither hahaha

You tell me, boss

[summer dagger]

again, theres 0 evidence to suggest there was any meaningful attempt at a japanese surrendure

[blazing rivet]

Did you read the article from the US Department of Energy?

If you didn't, that's okay. I know you are steadfast at sticking to your narrative and I'm not here to change that.

[summer dagger]

yes, it makes no claim of negotiations happening

From the replies these diplomats received from Tokyo, the United States learned that anything Japan might agree to would not be a surrender so much as a "negotiated peace" involving numerous conditions. These conditions probably would require, at a minimum, that the Japanese home islands remain unoccupied by foreign forces and even allow Japan to retain some of its wartime conquests in East Asia. Many within the Japanese government were extremely reluctant to discuss any concessions, which would mean that a "negotiated peace" to them would only amount to little more than a truce where the Allies agreed to stop attacking Japan

[blazing rivet]

We must be reading different articles. I swear embeds can be weird hahaha

[summer dagger]

we are reading the same ones, they just say the total opposite of what you claim

[blazing rivet]

You would think

[summer dagger]

no surrender was on the table, no negotiations happened except with the soviets who invaded anyways

[blazing rivet]

But if you employ the two articles, they all approach the same notion yet say "it's reasonable to blend the two together".

[summer dagger]

no they dont!

[blazing rivet]

You are choosing to look at these articles as a direct confrontation.

Clain

I'm not here to change your mind, man.

[summer dagger]

your own articles state the revisionist school of thought has no evidence to back its assertions

[blazing rivet]

But I can tell you're getting emotionally charged and you came here to get confrontational. I can't jeopardize our acquaintanceship here.

If you are choosing to ignore the evidence, that's fine but I'm choosing to walk away from this.

[summer dagger]

im not here to be confrontational but the things you insist are blatantly untrue

you are the one ingoring evidence

[blazing rivet]

It's Monday and we're probably all a little tired.

I gots a plane to catch, man. You have a good Monday, eh?

[terse dune]

okay holy fuck

i want to talk about this A LOT

finished watching it earlier this evening and holy shit

this was basically a political thriller lmfao

the black and white scenes along with the time jumps was really cool, helped maintain continuity and the flow was great

and the whole stage scene where he's giving a speech, and he stops hearing sound midway through

perfect insight into his psyche

so many good moments lol, cillian was obviously great but RDJ was 👌

there's so much more i could think of but i'd need to see it a second time for sure

[tiny flame]

I had the sense it was approaching thriller territory as well but I think we can say this is more in line with historical biopics because of the breadth of time and content explored. I generally see thrillers as tighter and more focused on tension whereas Oppenheimer was more so trying to create a complex and more realized perspective of a specific person that was far from simple.

There really is so much to talk about but Ill just throw it out there that the soundtrack and sound design was phenominal!

Almost a character itself with how present it was and how it was affecting your viewing

[sly stump]

Massively quotable moments and movie

[sly stump]

I actually wish it was more terrifying

There was almost a sense of inspiring that felt off

Maybe i like bombs

And things that go boom

According to the Barbie movie, i do

That scene in the gymnasium was intense but could've definitely up the ante

[tiny flame]

There were moments when I thought it was going to go the more terrifying and horrific route, like after the bombs were dropped on Japan. But I liked how instead of showing the slideshow Oppy was viewing the camera instead focuses solely on him. Or instead of actually showing Japan it focuses on the bureaucratic minutia of how it felt to be in Oppy's shoes after unleashing such a horrific technology. I think that focus on Oppenheimer and not deviating to one of the many related topics that come up with this subject matter made for a tighter and better movie.

[sly stump]

The bombs, screaming, terror,

[quartz yoke]

man idk how you could watch the speech scene and not come out terrified

[sly stump]

Cilian Murphy is King of the Thousand yard stare

[quartz yoke]

that was one of the most harrowing scenes i've ever seen in a theater

[tiny flame]

Ive read a few books on nuclear bombs and the political atmosphere at the time and theres certainly many many topics that could have been explored but I think its impossible to make a movie about all the complexities involved. Would have to be a ken burns style documentary!

[quartz yoke]

honestly i think it was far more effective than showing the bombs would be

[sly stump]

Everyone cheering and flag waving after tens of thousands just massacred and erased from the planet in a moment

[quartz yoke]

im still thinking about that single scream

[sly stump]

Yea

Haunts me as well

[tiny flame]

That honestly was the most terrifying part of the movie. When I realized what the foot stomping in the soundtrack meant I was floored and felt such a dreadfully bad feeling.

That single scream was a friggin nice touch!

[summer dagger]

oh theres totally a version of this where like, we randomly cut to nimitz, but nope, they focused on what mattered

[quartz yoke]

i'd have to rewatch to confirm

[sly stump]

Definitely rewatching this week

[quartz yoke]

but i dont think there's a single scene in the film that oppenheimer himself isn't in, besides the b&w scenes with strauss

[sly stump]

Local theater has 7 dollar Tuesdays

[quartz yoke]

i think he's literally in every single scene

[sly stump]

That's on purpose

[summer dagger]

was it seeing cillians junk being 3 stories tall

[quartz yoke]

and showing the actual bombings would break that

[tiny flame]

If yall havent read or listened to the audiobook of American Prometheus, I highly recommend it! I listened before I watched the movie and it definitely elevated the experience. Especially since the movie has such a relatively fast pace compared to the actual history.

[sly stump]

Black and white with Strauss are objective scenes. Have most detailed records. Color being subjective from Oppies view point

Everything left up to question

Just like his moral stance on building the device

[summer dagger]

which is suprising cause this is not exactly a fast pased part of the wider story

[sly stump]

Imma buy that book soon

If you have the time

https://youtu.be/p4yXfrYSmuA

Worth the 90mins of your time

Imma keep spamming this documentary

I am Oppenough

[tiny flame]

Is this a reupload? I swear I thought I might have seen this already but it only says 4 months old.

I love watching atomic bomb content lol, its a fascinating subject

"the ultimate guide to nuclear weapons" may have been the one im thinking of

[summer dagger]

also i mentioned this in another server, but coming out of mission impossible it felt like we had back to back weekends of movies designed to cater exclusively to fans of metal gear solid

[tiny flame]

lol! i do feel like this past week has been tailored to me. I loved dead reckoning and then to get Oppy a week later... chefs kiss!

[summer dagger]

cause heres a movie about the politics of nuclear war and the dangers of pursuing it, and the new mission is all about AIs and what is the truth and the world being secretly controlled by machines

was half expecting ethan hunt to start fighting shirtless on top of a mech

[sly stump]

Man Oppenheimer makes Interstellar look like a joke, and I love interstellar so much

[summer dagger]

interstellar still feels like maybe the weakest of his blockbuster era to me

[sly stump]

Can't be the same director

[summer dagger]

i just felt... nothing at it

wormhole dad sorta lost me

[sly stump]

With space movies I'm always left wanting more

That's just me

[tiny flame]

From what perspective? I personally love interstellar and its one of my all time favorites. I think Oppy is more comparable to Dunkirk personally. Nolan seems to have two genres, high concept fiction and complex historical drama.

[sly stump]

Like almost in what he wants from his own direction

He made a space opera, and he made a biopic

Very different

But it just feels like almost an insult to my intelligence lol

I know that's a bit rubbish

Love being the answer to manipulate the 4th dimension

Or a man's moralistic compass to create the ultimate weapon

And I'm not saying the aren't comparable but it's just..

Hell I might be wrong

[summer dagger]

i think nolan loses me when he gets more conceptual

i loved tenant because despite being that it didnt feel like i was overly being told "woah man"

[sly stump]

Which is why dropping your lead star into a blackhole to bootstrap paradox himself in the future with the power of love....in comparison to Oppenheimer is kind of insulting lol 😂

[summer dagger]

interstellar and inception just felt like too much of him going "hey i have an idea"

[tiny flame]

I think the major difference here is that Interstellar is Nolan's most heartfelt and sincere movie and it has a more straightforward message than Oppenheimer. The message of love being an actual force in reality that interacts with the universe and causes an impact is something that resonates with me. Oppenheimer however is more about showing complexities of a singular person and how right and wrong can be blurred and politicized - they can create an amazing future like in Interstellar or they can create the means to destroy humanity.

[terse dune]

this biopic was strikingly accurate with its portrayal of human behavior in general lol, vindictive people with power can be seen so often in any corporate company and i'm willing to bet a lot of people have undergone treatment like that from their higher ups. I think my favorite quote was from einstein at the end where he said that people will shake your hands etc but only for themselves, so that they can be absolved from their own guilt which is.. pretty shitty but it's how humans work

[sly stump]

So you would called them dichotomous of each other ?

Sister movies

The Zoe and Zelda version of movies

[tiny flame]

I think id agree they contrast greatly but explore similar themes of human ingenuity and care, one being more hopeful and aspirational, and one being more grounded in our reality.

I think you could argue theres a bit of hopefullness at the end of Oppy

[sly stump]

The yin of love creating a bright future vs the yang of your choices hang billions of lives in the balance

[tiny flame]

the reveal of the einstein convo felt positive to me

[sly stump]

Yes and no

Thats the paradox of the bomb. If you don't make it someone else worse will

[tiny flame]

I guess Ill clarify, it felt positive that this supposed important moment was actually focused on a subject that had real importance and meaning in the world instead of being a cynical moment of Oppy giving a warning or something like that.

[terse dune]

felt pretty gloomy to me ngl, he was basically saying that he needed to bear the consequences of his own actions, with the action in this case being... pretty devastating

[sly stump]

Almost bomb level devastating

[tiny flame]

Thats a fair reading too, I like that we're both getting different things out of it. Speaks to the complexity of what Nolan put on screen.

Theres no black or white here.

[terse dune]

yeah I agree :))

[sly stump]

Love that man

Give him more money

[terse dune]

there certainly is in the movie hehe

[tiny flame]

haha yeah. Dude, wasnt Oppy only 100 mil?

that feels so low compared to franchise budgets

he should be given 100-250 whenever he wants lol

[sly stump]

WB didn't want to give Nolan more money

So someone's else did

And he makes a monster movie

[tiny flame]

oh yeah, i almost forgot about the universal switch

didnt he leave wb because of hbo max?

he was mad about tenet being put on there?

[sly stump]

Part of the issue yea

[terse dune]

on another note, when they introduced lawrence at the beginning i thought that was the character matt damon was playing LMFAOO and then i realized "wait this isn't matt wtf"

[tiny flame]

haha thats pretty funny

[sly stump]

Hah

[tiny flame]

Well, I dont want Nolan being beholden to Zaslav so im happy he's at universal

Universal tends to have less interference IMO than WB or Disney which is also nice.

Also a double edged sword cuz some ripe crap also makes it through universal lol

[sly stump]

Zaslav realllllly sucks

Maybe this will make universal think more than once

[tiny flame]

Oh yeah, fuck having a reality tv guy at the helm of one of the largest entertainment conglomerates in the world

[summer dagger]

i have to figure cancelling westworld suddenly and shipping it off to fuckin tubi or whatever has to really damage that relationship

[sly stump]

Westworld was literally some of THE BEST TV I have ever watched

[tiny flame]

I think that situation is one of many more to come. Streaming is not profitable and these major studios are gonna have to make some monumental changes to get to a point where the industry can sustain itself.

[sly stump]

Mad I wasn't part of the live watch journey

[tiny flame]

I watched season 1 but the reception of the remaining seasons in my circles turned me off a bit. I do wanna revisit that show tho - I love sci fi.

[sly stump]

Like if you really like scifi

Please continued

The first episode actually scared me off it a a year or two ago. But then I was told it's one of those shows gets more amazing as it goes

It was wild

[tiny flame]

I am about to be needing a new show to watch with my partner - I might try and hunt it down and watch although if its on tubi that makes me sad cuz it doesnt seem like a show that should be interrupted by ads.

[sly stump]

It's a lot of nudity for majority of the first season and some of 2

Just fyi

Cause you know, robots

[tiny flame]

haha, I have no problems with nudity lol ive been a fan of art museums and foreign classic movies long enough to not be scared by a lil nip

[sly stump]

It was a bit more than that lol

But yes the more immature crowd is always around

It's 100% worth finishing

[tiny flame]

I saw another post on here today about someone not wanting to watch Oppy because of the nudity in it and my mind was honestly blown

Ill go back to this show for sure!

[sly stump]

Person ever hear of porn?

[tiny flame]

haha, or have you ever taken a shower? Do you cover your eyes in the mirror?

[sly stump]

I don't think this person knows what genitals are lol

[frigid ledge]

hes ned flanders

[sly stump]

Nothing at all, nothing at all

[tiny flame]

lol thats a quality reference

[hearty pilot]

Best Nolan film

[sly stump]

tough to argue against it

its so cohesive, polished, the only mistake people noticed was the american flag having too many stars

[visual summit]

Its not gonna be his highest grossing film

[sly stump]

i mean

at this trajectory

what else is worth seeing this summer

Ninja Turtles?

[summer dagger]

its his best preforming non-batman movie, but yeah it wont be his best

theres usually one august movie that really excites me but its really nothing till fall for me

[sly stump]

what else is even coming out this year thats interesting ?

the Marvels?

Killers of the Flower Moon?

im sure there are some gems im missing

[summer dagger]

the creator from gareth edwards is i think the next thing im interested in

[sly stump]

ahh yes that too

[merry spoke]

Stuff might get pushed back

But Zone of Interest, The Killer, Ferrari, Poor Things, Havoc, and a few more are hopefully still on pace

[summer dagger]

yeah the real quiet august is gonna be amplified in the fall-winter if studios either have ADR and other work not yet done, or cant confidently promote without the actors

[merry spoke]

I expect the films without a release date lined up to not get one until this is settled

[mellow robin]

Disney is looking at delaying poor things

[merry spoke]

The ones that are finished anyway

I'm interested to see about Maestro though. This is Bradley Cooper really pushing for an Oscar. He's also directing.

Can't imagine he wants this to release in 2024

[regal rivet]

https://youtu.be/xRZsKDciozY

[tiny flame]

I am so hyped for an original big budget sci-fi

Killers of the Flower Moon also looks poised to be awesome

[summer dagger]

i just hope we can get back to that era when original blockbusters made money off of creators names and stars alone, otherwise we are all doomed

nobody saw ambulance and yes im still pissed

[tiny flame]

haha i actually saw ambulance and liked it! But im one of those weird people that thinks Michael Bay is actually way more talented than people give him credit for. He's not always great but he has some unique talent.

[summer dagger]

michael bay presented us all with his magnum opus and we all went "nah"

[tiny flame]

Who outside of Nolan and Tom Cruise is putting butts in seats? Im a liltte pessimistic here cuz I cant think of an up and comer that has a similar effect.

[fiery river]

https://tenor.com/view/uncomfortable-drinking-thirsty-gif-13676825

[blazing rivet]

Grunkle, my friend

How are ya?

[fiery river]

not too bad not too bad

Took part in Barbenheimer so that was a good day at the theatres

[blazing rivet]

Based

I was too busy mucking around in Alberta to do that.

Only had time for Barbie

[digital harness]

Ambulance was awesome

Really a shame no one saw it

[blazing rivet]

Ambulance kino

[fiery river]

Ambulance iirc was released when the theatres were still gradually returning from lockdown

though Im also trying to remember which film was what finally was the one to be like "theatres are back"

[digital harness]

It was, but it went to prime pretty quick and still no one bothered

[fiery river]

oh wait, this came out after No Way Home which was like massive at the box office

[fiery river]

Yeah I think if a film was given a theatrical go but also given a hard streaming release so soon after, then most just chose to wait

[digital harness]

No way home had cheat codes tho, spider men nostalgia fest

[fiery river]

its why basically every WB film was at the most whelming theatrically

good thing Dune was given the chance to do Part 2

[digital harness]

I’m sure we’ll see dune 3 as well

[fiery river]

Cause that film didnt even crack the top 10 of the years BO

[deep glen]

Yeah the spamming on the Oppenheimer Instagram comments section is the same spamming of people (I assume religious hardliners) basically saying "aPLogIzE fOr SeX sCeNe".

Like these people need to like move the fuck on. Nobody cares bruh. It's just a movie.

[tiny flame]

Im actually a little concerned about Dune 3. Too many big movies are underperforming and WB specifically seems to be ran by a doofus.

[deep glen]

Bob Iger V David Zaslav: Dawn of Dumbasses

[digital harness]

Dune has prestige with award season, def helps it out

[tiny flame]

lol I wanna see a celebrity deathmatch episode with those two

[digital harness]

Zaslav is such a pos

Shame what they did to hbo max

[fiery river]

he's at fault for the current state of "oh we can just delete our failures/other peoples art"?

[tiny flame]

Zaslav knows exactly what he's doing and does it anyway, Iger just seems like a dumb pushover.

I think z boy is the true hollywood devil lol

[deep glen]

IT'S TIME FOR OUR DEATHBATTLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!!!

[tiny flame]

LOL

[deep glen]

People should remember where this is from

[tiny flame]

is this in reference to that youtube channel?

[sly stump]

Heres the thing, Greta could make a Oppenheimer movie, I dont think Nolan could make the Barbie movie

[tiny flame]

seems familiar

[deep glen]

Yup, that channel brings such nostalgia for me

[tiny flame]

omg this is a take thats genuinely funny

[tiny flame]

i need to revisit! I think i saw some of these years ago

But in all honestly, I dont know if Gerwig could do an Oppenheimer movie. Her and Nolan have very specific themes they like to explore and idk if they could really swap out

[deep glen]

Apparently there's been news going around and I don't know if it's, but it's that JJ Abrams will be doing a live action hot wheels movie. I pray to God that's not the case because his movies are just so mediocre.

[tiny flame]

omg well if Gran Turismo is actually good I could see myself being okay with a hot wheels adapation. It has literally no story or canon to worry about so it could be good. He wouldnt be jumping into a franchise and mucking it up like some of his other ventures.

in general I think he's overrated tho

I liked Star Trek 2009

[deep glen]

Imagine an UNO film by Christopher Nolan?

[tiny flame]

dear lord its so dumb it might just work

[deep glen]

I admire Neil Blomkamp, yes his films (except District 9) were lackluster. But I have hope for Gran Turismo, I hope it's gonna be a comeback for Neil.

[blazing rivet]

I personally didn't really know there was an issue, so I guess it shows people care about the discourse on both ends.

[sly stump]

I think Greta can do serious, shes shown it, but I dont think Nolan can do fun, thats out of his wheelhouse

[deep glen]

I mean his action scenes are intensely fun if those count.

[sly stump]

maybe i should say a comedy

[tiny flame]

Im with you there! He's one of my favorites purely for his unique style and approach to sfx. Chappie is the only of his movies I truly dislike and even then I think there's elements to respect.

[deep glen]

Oh yeah they gave her CGI clothing for other countries.

[tiny flame]

Honestly I really want to see Nolan do a comedic film now just so we can know whether he could do it. Seems like it would be an interesting challenge.

[deep glen]

Horror is a genre I wanna see Nolan tackle next.

[pseudo arrow]

there's something so cursed of that dress

[tiny flame]

Friggin sad - the way those two were posed in that scene was beautiful and so tasteful

[pseudo arrow]

yeah that sounds interesting for Nolan to do next

[deep glen]

Probably countries with strict censorship...I don't know.

[tiny flame]

I feel like Nolan subscribes to the David Lynch view on horror - horror isn't something you solely focus on, its just a dramatic element.

Think about it, scary moments are way scarier when the setting isnt entirely focused on being a horror movie. There's stuff in Inland Empire and Lost Highway that is more scary to me than any pure horror film.

[digital harness]

Lynch focuses on what dreams feel like, it’s a whole vibe

[tiny flame]

Oh yeah, Lynch is my favorite director of all time. Dream logic for daysss

[digital harness]

I miss his daily weather reports

[tiny flame]

I hope its not health reasons why he stopped 😦

[digital harness]

I like to think he was working on a new movie, gotta believe!

[sour stratus]

This movie gave me fucking goosebumps

[tiny flame]

The pure joy that a new lynch project would give me is all I long for honestly haha

Is that like a parody account?

[tiny flame]

same!

If not a parody its funny how adding "according to a survey conducted by a research group" constitutes a citation to people on twitter.

[sour stratus]

this is the best movie of 2023 so far imo

[tiny flame]

I think so too. This and Dead Reckoning felt like a nice throwback to what blockbusters used to be.

[sour stratus]

Yeah

It feels refreshing to get a big blockbusters that don’t add in a joke every 4 minutes like Transformers and the flash

[tiny flame]

I'm probably one of the five people who actually enjoyed flash but I totally get where you're coming from. There's such a genuine feeling that came from Dead Reckoning and Oppy that you dont really get from most franchise movies or new releases.

I can always see the behind the scenes drama and lines of thinking in most movies whereas these two movies were just pure experiences without a lot of baggage.

[sly stump]

my coworker, who almost nevers goes to "hyped" movies even went to see Oppenheimer

the sheer amount of people these movies drew in is ridiculous

[tiny flame]

My theater was packed. Between this and Barbie this weekend had more people at the theater than Ive seen since covid started.

[merry spoke]

Don't let your memes be dreams

[hearty pilot]

Not even then soft goosebumps them mfs were hard as shit

[sour stratus]

ONG

[digital harness]

Oppenheimer is definitely the most impressive film of the year so far, but man, Past Lives was crazy good too

[ember forum]

I really appreciate the theatrical spectrum of performances. The pallet that ranges from very cinematic to very stage is cool to see

[pseudo arrow]

A nice two part story

[sly stump]

"You hurt my feelings" was also very human and quite good and hilarious

[deep glen]

FR the ending terrified me. I like to think it's showing and reminding us how dangerously powerful nuclear weapons are and how much they can destroy if nuclear war ever happened.

[summer dagger]

To be fair, Nolan isn't doing as hot as last year, and Nolans last movie struggled financially

Also barbie blows both away entirely

The problem fundamentally is no movies are really as safe hits as they used to be.

[fiery river]

To be fair on that end Tenet was used as a test to see if people were willing yet to make the venture out for theatres in mid 2020

[summer dagger]

Oh yeah and it pissed Nolan off

[fiery river]

Which, we saw was firmly not the case because I don’t even think Omnicron had reared it’s head yet

[summer dagger]

But I think it's too early to diagnose a "what works what doesn't" here

This was a total fluke weekend

Barbie is the first smash hit comedy in I think a decade plus?

[round quail]

minions rise of gru

[fiery river]

What in the fuck

Wait didn’t mean this as a reply apologies

[round quail]

O Russell is a giant piece of shit yes.

[fiery river]

So does this mean Law had been in talks for Batman Begins?

Even still, imagine assaulting someone because that person is a preferable person to work with lol

[round quail]

The Prestige I believe

[tribal spruce]

Are the film bros here 👀

[fiery river]

I meant to write this as my reply before I saw that headlock tidbit lol:
I think what angered Nolan was the prospect of them potentially dropping Tenet to streaming which he successfully fought off, then the deathblow to their business relationship was them doing theatre/streaming simultaneously for 2021

His dumping of them for Universal likely prompted them to never do that again lol

[tribal spruce]

I liked this movie... but it did not blow me away

[fiery river]

Dude you can have a differing opinion, unless folk are extreme fragile in that department.

[round quail]

he got a 7 figure check from WB as some royalty bullshit with Tenet lol

[dapper nacelle]

Didn't help it was COVID

[tribal spruce]

Ok good. Then I wanted to say I wanted more to it. It feels like it needs more depth and a sense of journey to it. It feels pretty one-note, and I didn't really feel like I went on a ride coming out the theater

[dapper nacelle]

WB is fluking lately, no way Nolan is returning to work them again for the time being

Now that Oppen is doing good with how Universal handled it

[summer dagger]

Yeah but they didn't let him hold it off till better conditions and dropped tenant against his wishes

[fiery river]

Unless Zaslav goes on hands and knees to beg but consider how much Zaslav hates film I don’t see that happening

[summer dagger]

He wanted to pull a tom cruise and hold it till the pandemic was long gone

[round quail]

Especially considering that WB put Barbie on the same release date to spite him (yes it clearly worked out and eventually helped both films do well)

[fiery river]

Nolan unfortunately doesn’t quite have Tom Cruise pull

[summer dagger]

Also zaslav cancelled his brothers show and punted it off to a free ad supported service

[fiery river]

Friendship ended with Warner Bros, now any studio that doesn’t hate the cinema experience is my friend

[tribal spruce]

It feels like it has "gravitas" or weight behind it, but I feel like I wanted it to explore the subject more. I wanted to scene more of the impact, and get more insight in general

[dapper nacelle]

Oh shit
didn't know his brother was one of the showrunners for Westworld

[fiery river]

Universal maybe where he hangs his hat going forward they seem more willing to let original fare get made

If Apple TV+ wasnt also a streamer he’d probably look their way as well

[dapper nacelle]

And Sony considering they don't have their own streamign service

[tribal spruce]

The Prestige is still my favorite Nolan film, and one of my fav movies.

[hearty pilot]

Yo

[tribal spruce]

That's a masterpiece, that feels so much more complete than this movie

[hearty pilot]

Where do you guys think this ranks among biopics

[fiery river]

They are starting to gear specific big films like Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon for cinemas only for a period of time so perhaps they could link up at some point

[fiery river]

It’s a pretty strong candidate for me

[summer dagger]

He was also creator and showrunner on person of interest, so banner month for guys who worked with Jonathan nolan

[hearty pilot]

Better than The Social Network or Wolf of Wall Street?

[fiery river]

Why those specific two?

[hearty pilot]

Two of the best biopics that came out in the 2010s

[fiery river]

I’d say on par with Social Network and better than Wolf

[hearty pilot]

Damn

What yall rating on this

[tribal spruce]

I wouldn't say it's one of the better ones. The best biopics are Malcolm X, The Social Network, Judas, Molly's Game, American Gangster, Chicago 7, imo

[hearty pilot]

I see

[fiery river]

Mollys Game and Chicago 7?

Idk about that personally

[tribal spruce]

I guess I like Aaron's writing

Great dialogue really sticks out

[hearty pilot]

It has a 4.4 average on Letterboxd rating which is insane

[fiery river]

I do too, I really liked Moneyball

[tribal spruce]

Oh, The Founder, The Aviator

Rush, Ford v Ferrari

[hearty pilot]

The Founder is underrated

Yall think this the best movie of 2023?

[fiery river]

Too early to say definitively

[hearty pilot]

Well

So far

[fiery river]

We still got 5 months of films coming

[tribal spruce]

So far, I'm saying it's either Spiderman or Creed 3

[hearty pilot]

Ykw I mean

[hearty pilot]

Damn

Was Creed 3 really that good

[tribal spruce]

I liked it a lot for some reason

It feels like it has heart

[hearty pilot]

Cool

Still need to see it

[tribal spruce]

Maybe, I should've took another trip to NY and saw this in 70 MM 😂

[ember forum]

I think my 2023 faves so far are Past Lives, The Starling Girl, and Oppenheimer with Blackberry and How to Blow Up a Pipeline following

Barbie is up there too

[tribal spruce]

I really like Blackberry

[ember forum]

I thought it ruled. I think Matt Johnson has strong dramaturgical instincts and it really showed here

The reason why there's a CGI dress on Pugh is that some people in India were offended that the Bhagavad Gita was quoted when Oppenheimer and Jean had sex

[wary flame]

Oh thank god. The clothes stay on. 😎

[summer dagger]

was that movie with olivia wilde this year

[distant laurel]

Don't Worry Darling was last year

[summer dagger]

cause i would like to nominate that as the much more repugnant florence pugh movie with some sex drama

man that thing was just, the same way fast x and gray man have me going "what is this garbage" and wanting to go on a 5 hour rant about bad filmmaking, its the same thing but for dramas

[distant laurel]

I have to remind myself that Florence Pugh is like 3-4 years older than me and she's doing stuff like this on screen then when I first saw her in 2019

[digital harness]

Remember chris Pine quietly dying inside while what’s his face said don’t worry darling was a real movie during the press tour? Good times

[hearty pilot]

fuck that movie

[lusty cedar]

Pugh is a year younger than me. Gosh I'm old

oh damn she's 27, i thought she was younger lol

I could've got the same results with listening to an audiobook of it lmao

[dawn grail]

Its a masterpiece tho

[kind robin]

I absolutely agree. Oppenheimer is a masterpiece

[kind robin]

That's the thing. We don't really know that. There could have been a demonstration near some Japanese islands that weren't inhabited to show the power of the bomb and let Japanese know if they don't they would drop one in a city but this was rejected. So they drop a bomb on Hiroshima first and then within a few days again at Nagasaki to show the Japanese that they could do this again and again until they fully surrender but they could have surrendered earlier too. It takes a few days to do that.

Also, what I've heard also is that the Japanese would have already surrendered sooner because the Soviet union had also declared war against them and retaken many of the territories. Japanese knew that their the Soviets would never agree to retain the Emperor and may even partition Japan like with Germany and Korea.

I do believe that times back then were different and while it is easy for us to say now that they should have done it differently, it wasn't easy for them. Like the American scientists feared that Nazis would get the bomb first and hence tried to make one fast, the US govt used them because they thought Japan wouldn't surrender unconditionally and only way to do that is to drop bombs and it will save hundreds of thousands of American lives as well. So it is a tough situation all around.

Planning to watch Grave of the Fireflies the first time today or tomorrow

Wanted to get both perspectives

got the perspective of the father of the atom bomb

To the people who had to suffer through and the aftermath of the bomb

[eager quiver]

That movie is set in Kobe, so it doesn't show impact of atom bomb, just "regular" bombing and war's impact on civilians

[pseudo arrow]

yeah watching that rn and yeah it doesn't show much, still watching it tho

[eager quiver]

It is a great movie, just not directly tied to Oppenheimer

[pseudo arrow]

just heard that barefoot gen is on par, gonna check that this wednesday, I can already imagine Grave of the fireflies will be leaving a massive dent in me

[mellow vale]

I can't watch this again

Too sad

[pseudo arrow]

just finished it, never watching it again

[royal portal]

Saw it yesterday on 70mm, what an experience

[pseudo arrow]

gonna be rewatching Oppenheimer on Imax 70mm as well this thursday

[mellow vale]

shit is like Life is beautiful, I'm never ever watching it again unless there are people with me

Nice

Gotta say this might be Nolan's best in a long time, feels like the last time he was this experimental was Memento

Dunkirk is arguably also experimental but didnt have this level of subjectivity

seen yameii online in concert for a little bit, was too tired to see the rest of it and went home

[hearty pilot]

Inception still his magnum opus but still

A really good movie

Gets even better the more I think ab it

[eager quiver]

[lusty cedar]

I honestly like Nolan's old movies like inception, prestige, TDK than some of the newer ones tbh

[fluid bridge]

what about interstellar

[lusty cedar]

I still enjoy the old 1 more

[fluid bridge]

https://open.spotify.com/track/09I8yYd9egMHOLDRFenYrV?si=rwFJJc1USKWihC6MuB5WDQ

[lusty cedar]

The ending of interstellar seems like a weird cop out for me lol

With the whole 4D spacetime concept in movie

[fluid bridge]

right it probably gets overconfusing at times

but i do a lot of physics so idk even tenet was great for me

[lusty cedar]

Not really. I understand the concept of 4D spacetime and understand the science behind that scene. It's still an odd, kinda cop out way for me.

[wicked breach]

Oscarheimer

This movie only dragged in the second half but it needed to drag honestly

[lusty cedar]

I thought they kinda rush the trial lol

The trial had so much detail

[wicked breach]

The acting is the best acting I’ve seen this year tbh

[final grotto]

they should made it atleast 30min longer imo

[wicked breach]

I wish

How loud was the explosion in imax

[final grotto]

i wish i knew

there are only normal theater where i live

[wicked breach]

I’m seeing it again Thursday imax digital

[final grotto]

yeah this movie gets better each time you watch it

just came back from my 3rd viewing

[wicked breach]

Best movie of the year

[final grotto]

the trinity scene still gave me heart attack

[final grotto]

still need to wait for dune pt 2 and kotfw

[wicked breach]

It scared the shit out of me at first

I was in row C

[final grotto]

bruh

[lusty cedar]

The test scene was phenomenal

[wicked breach]

It was filling up fast

[final grotto]

everyone literally leaning towards the screen, none of them laid back on their seats

never saw anything like that

[wicked breach]

It was pretty loud

[lusty cedar]

Not sure if u are aware, there is another large scale modern day Manhattan-project-level happening right now lol.

Just "less secrecy"

[final grotto]

wait what

[final grotto]

weirdly enough it wasnt the loudest part of the movie

the scene after oppie had ptsd is much louder lol

[lusty cedar]

Been ongoing since like 2012. Probably even bigger than Manhattan project

[wicked breach]

Was the movie all cgi free

[analog jasper]

Good. We'll get Oppenheimer 2

[wicked breach]

Or was it just for the sets and the explosions

[final grotto]

he said it himself its "zero cgi", but cgi and vfx are different so idk

[wicked breach]

The explosion isn’t cgi I know that and the sets

[lusty cedar]

Modernization of nuclear triad. B21 and GBSD. You can probably look it up on Google

[elfin gull]

Going to see Oppenheimer alone was the best decision I've ever made

Also the guy sitting next to me was just as invested as me, he was quietly explaining most of the science and politics stuff to his friend who was pretty clueless, but during the Trinity test and the ending, dude was just as excited as I was, we shared a couple of thrilled glances at times

Speaking of the ending, it's got to be my favorite Nolan ending

I legitimately lost dexterity over my entire body for half a minute after the film ended

[low fulcrum]

Maybe this has already been discussed, but does anyone know how they did the explosion? Miniature? Seeing only the flash of light then a close up of the smoke cloud that almost looked like stock footage really reminded me of Threads.

[royal portal]

Yeah it was miniatures

[tribal spruce]

Man, I liked this movie, but I really wish I liked it more

[royal portal]

I think the dialogues in this one are probably the strongest in a Nolan movie, there's still that over expository dialogue here and there but there's also some well written dialogues that deliver exposition but do it through humor and/or conflict

[low fulcrum]

the scene where they're like, "are you thinking what I'm thinking?" and the one person said like, "wait, what are you guys talking about?" and they said, "a bomb" literally made me lol because of how over expository it was.

[royal portal]

I was thinking about the scenes with RDJ and the other guy where they basically explain the whole movie

But that first scene between Oppie and Matt Damon was great

[strange girder]

sameee

love the Prestige

[sly stump]

the creative points and opportunities to show the mentality of someone like this cant be done in a book

[sly stump]

Yea this was more of an actors movie than a directors movie

the director has to pull that out of an actor though

[frosty dock]

I mean they explained it in the film in color, in b&w, with cigarette and pipe. I understand the message but it so dragged for me.

Matt Damon looked like Jesse Plemons

Every time Damon came on screen I kept thinking where is Kirsten Dunst

[hearty pilot]

I finished the movie

personally I like it

[jade turret]

It’s ambuLAnce actually 😔

[sly stump]

it was kinda theft ...lol

From user: @beardtongue_

first, let's flip a chalkboard + define some basics: both FISSION + FUSION are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the processes are very different
FISSION splits a heavy unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, while FUSION combines two light nuclei together
the atomic bomb (the centerpiece of the trinity test) is the result of a fission reaction
the hydrogen bomb (theorized at los alamos + the focus of the latter half of the film) is the result of a thermonuclear reaction -- a fission reaction that triggers a fusion reaction

• finally, let's briefly touch on some basic physics theory before we dive into how all this relates to nolan's structure + theming in OPPENHEIMER
  for our purposes, quantum theory concerns itself with the small scale, the atomic + subatomic -- the inner world, if you will -- it defines reality in terms of paradox + contradiction, insisting that something can be true + not true simultaneously
  conversely, einstein's theory of relativity concerns itself with the large scale, the greater universe -- again, the outer world, if you will -- it defines reality in terms of firm predictions + direct observation
  with all that out of the way, let's dive in properly:
  nolan has said that that color (FISSION) indicates a subjective viewpoint, while black + white (FUSION) indicates an objective one
  to build on that, it's pretty clear that the FISSION sections are grounded in oppenheimer's POV while FUSION is grounded in strauss's

https://vxtwitter.com/MrNiceGuy513/status/1683668428454854656?s=20

[stoic notch]

Am I the only one who thinks this film was mid?

The pacing felt off for me, the first part feeling too fast paced and the later being quite boring

The film would have worked better in a linear order, when jumping between times it is too hard to keep track of who knows what at the time

I also feel like there was not enough character building, perhaps because too much time was being told? ( an entire life fit into one film)

For example, Florence Pugh's character (don't even know her name) died in like... her 5th scene? Were we supposed to care? We knew nothing about her. All the characters are one dimensional, his wife is an alcoholic... that's it.

[eager quiver]

Did they? I thought they would agree about atom bomb post 1945...

[dire dagger]

I feel like we're only supposed to care about characters in the context of Oppenheimer's life, and I feel that was intentional.

[stoic notch]

But the problem is that if we don't know them, we don't really know why oppenheimer cares

And the bomb was... underwhelming. Hours of building up tension, i was crazy excited for it. The silence was cool. But i watched war for the planet of the apes today and that had a bigger explosion. It was just too small. I think the refusal to use cgi, whilst it brought publicity, hindered the power that was meant to be shown. If we saw a massive explosion, filling the screen and a pool of destruction on the ground afterwards, the "Now i am become death, destroyer of worlds" would have made more sense. In the film, it is just kind of an explosion, like any other seen before

[stoic notch]

I do see your point here, and while i don't agree it was good i do agree us not caring was intentional

Also back on the pacing i thought of another example.

The bomb could cause a chain reaction in the neutrons, igniting the atmosphere and destroying the world. This was something i knew of before the film and i was hyped to see it. It finally gets proposed in the film in a big moment where all the scientists see it and panic. But then... like two scenes later, it is solved? Its just kind of like "yeah it probably wont happen but im not going to show anything behind why this was found out, moving on..".

[dire dagger]

I'm doing a lot of self reflection based on your comment and maybe this is why I don't particularly enjoy biopics? I tend to enjoy a lot of interpersonal character development whereas biopics tend to focus on one person, and characters are introduced in the context of that person's life. Lots to think about I guess!

[stoic notch]

To be fair, most biopics focus more on a specific part of their life for most of the film, allowing more development around these characters. Switching between 3 major parts of his life, i feel like i never feel settled and connected to one of them. I forget who everyone is and what they have done, since they have 3 faces i need to link and i need to keep up with how far in i am on the timeline

[kind robin]

It didn't bother me, for me the narrative structure was perfect and I'm glad that it delved into whole of Oppenheimer's story and not just one part.

[hearty pilot]

Tbf the film did feel a little slow in the third act but it was very crucial to the story, so I didn't have too much of a problem with it.

I really liked this bc it felt like a breath of fresh air, very unique compared to other biopics

Very thought-provoking imo

[sage sail]

Very thought-provoking, can’t wait to watch it with subtitle so I can think about the writing of it more

[deep glen]

I know I held in my piss for the last part of the film because I knew it was gonna get good.

I've seen Downey Jr's other movies that I liked and he does a great job: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Zodiac and Tropic Thunder.

Oppenheimer was another job well done.

[lusty cedar]

I mean testing a bomb probably only take couple minutes. It's not a long event

[hearty pilot]

lmfao

Finally found some 70MM IMAX seats further back. Any of these worth it or are they too far off to the side?

[hearty pilot]

G4

or F4

[hearty pilot]

Managed to find row I, seat 3. It's not dead center, will I get a worse experience?

Something like I14 or J14 would have been perfect.

doubt it

70mm imax

W

lucky

Nice

I might go see it with my dad in 70mm imax in nyc

[sly stump]

Back from a second viewing, watching with the perspective that he knew they were building a WMD or something on a global scale really changes the perspective of how Oppie spoke to other characters

There's also the scene in Los Alamos in the rain where there's a discussion on "Effects of using the Device" , love how no one who wasn't strictly military didn't to call it a bomb, but in that scene he monologues on why using it is as much necessity as creating it in the first place

Ugh jesus

[deep glen]

I like to mention another great Downey Jr movie. Richard III (1995 adaptation).

[sly stump]

I wish he was playing Napoleon over Phoenix but Phoenix looks great

Did oppenheimer really think they wouldn't use this massive bomb they were racing to create?

[sly stump]

I mean after seeing it a second time. I don't think the iMax is that necessary....

Please don't bomb me

[deep glen]

I mean he ain't lying, he did a better apology video than most YouTubers that are lousy.

[sly stump]

Because Oppenheimer apology meant something

He wasn't a terrible person, he was advancing science with a known cost

YouTuber apologies are because they are just assholes who got caught

And wouldn't apologize otherwise

[merry spoke]

I'm sure he regrets his part of it, but he had to know eventually someone would have done it

[simple violet]

The problem wasn’t knowing but that he was blinded by his ambition and failed to internalize the bigger picture

[merry spoke]

There's no easy answers or assignment of responsibility

[simple violet]

Indeed

[merry spoke]

Truman was more than happy to accept full responsibility clearly

Even if he was one part of the chain

[sly stump]

thats the whole pooint of Oppie and the movie

He had to do it

or someone worse would

[kind robin]

Ya, Truman is a politician and I think he justifies using the atomic bomb on Japan by saying by doing that he saved hundreds of thousands of American lives which would have lost if they were sent to Japanese mainland

[sly stump]

hes not a Saint

but like Strauss said

he aint cant be a martyr for his participation

we was as excited as he was terrified

[kind robin]

It is easy for all of us to wonder right now, but back in early 1940s, these American scientists really believed that they had to build the atom bomb fast or Nazis would.. after all Nazi Germany at that time had some of the world's top physicists. Only later did we know that some of those physicists may have deliberately sabotaged it or Hitler may have refused to provide full support unlike in US

[merry spoke]

I definitely think Oppenheimers narcissistic tendencies and martyrdom come into it

The sort of public self flagellation to give himself absolution

[mint valve]

Only 2 times

[sly stump]

well yea

I am eternally grateful that non-Hitlerites made the bomb first

[sly stump]

it just confirms his ego, and that he was right, furthering that egomaniacal thinking

we have zero capabilities of stopping an invasion

One more thing about Oppenheimer...Nolan's noted in interviews that Oppenheimer's never apologized for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It's deliberate to play that disassociation cinematically and to have it be at odds with what he's willing to admit, it makes Oppie look even worse

Then that's being totally naive.. They were at war and btw initially even Oppenheimer wasn't opposed to it. He thought far less people will die from it but come on, most of the scientists knew it could be used.
