it’s definitely a very well made movie but the sound mixing is just as worse if not worse than tenet’s, i don’t know why he keeps insisting on making it basically impossible to understand what people are saying, and the accents don’t help either
i’m sure the dialogue and scenes i missed were great but as very well made as this movie is, it legitimately is too long, i was getting sleepy by the end and i heard someone behind me snoring right before the credits rolled

Although the quote by Einstein at the end was great
which quote again? i couldn’t hear anything
onyx hearth
Just about how the Government will one day give Oppenheimer recognition and pat him on the back but it’s not because of him but because of what he did that benefitted them
The actors did a really good job in the film
Like a lot of them killed it
Cillian Murphy was amazing in the role

ah right right, that’s a good line
pale sonnet
Cillian Murphy was amazing in the role
as oppenheimer no?
onyx hearth
Yeah
Really great performance you could see the pain and horror in his expressions as the film continued on
The amount of guilt Oppenheimer carried is very much so visible in Murphy’s performance
pale sonnet
oh absolutely, his performance was absolutely the best part of the film, he looks horrified at what he’s done at the end of the film
hexed night
How’s Oppenheimer?
stark quail
I honestly think the film could have ended without all the court stuff
I actually loved the court epilogue! Without it, Strauss going against Oppenheimer would’ve made no sense to the viewer and the impact of the atomic bomb he made would’ve been less accurate if not showing how Oppenheimer accepted his governmental role even if they betrayed him at the end. The last scene was perfect

Explosive.

Interesting you say that, found it much better than Tenet. This wasn’t perfect but at least it wasn’t like Tenet where there’d be whole sequences I couldn’t hear
Sucks that some versions of the film still have bad sound mixing
Anyways just got back. Chilling movie, performances were great across the board and it was a good imax experience, one of the more unique ones for sure, really added to the unsettling nature of it all, this is definitely in the upper echelon of Nolan films
pale sonnet
Interesting you say that, found it *much* better than Tenet. This wasn’t perfect...
okay yeah well it isn’t as bad, though it was kind of hard to hear for me, you’re right though, it’s nowhere near as bad as tenet’s at least

i most likely got that version of the film

Bro
I just got out
This movie is unironically one of the best movies I’ve ever seen in my life
near burrow
dusty sierra
I saw Alden Ehrenreich in the cast and did not expect him to have that much screen time
near burrow
I’m so happy that he’s getting more in the limelight
Funny to think that he was in Cocaine Bear this year as well lmao
dusty sierra
He did basically serve as the classic Nolan exposition tool to ask Strauss questions about what he planned
But he did a great job nonetheless
I also was worried RDJ would be too likeable as Strauss but he really sold the jealousy
I loved seeing my boy Rami Malek get a moment to shine near the end
I love the score, I don’t think it beats Tenet’s OST as my favourite film score
But it’s so distinct yet still so Goransson
near burrow
dusty sierra
Yeah it had so many horror elements
The buildup to the detonation
Made me actually anxious
near burrow
Gonna go down as one of those iconic scenes for film
dusty sierra
Something I saw people criticise is the audio mixing
I actually had no issue with it
I understood most of the lines without subtitles
near burrow
There was the odd time that it was a little hard to hear but very odd
Nothing compared to Tenet where I was actually to the point of being pissed off because I couldn’t hear dialogue
dusty sierra
Tenet still has the worse mixing, maybe it’s because of how bassy the soundtrack for Tenet was
Tenet’s OST was way more pounding and percussion-heavy
Oppenheimer’s score has more strings
near burrow
Not only the music but in my experience any big background noise was really detrimental such as trains or waves to name some examples
From the very beginning sequence of Tenet, it was so goddamn hard to hear and it was so all over the place for the rest of the film
dusty sierra
I guess Nolan realised in a movie that is 90% dialogue he shouldn’t fuck the mixing up
near burrow
Yeah lmao
dusty sierra
near burrow
Oh yeah also I learned that Gary Oldman plays Truman at the end sometime after watching the film, could not tell when watching
dusty sierra
dusty sierra
dusty sierra
I can’t believe Freddie Mercury cooked for years just to absolutely roast the shit out of Iron Man
hexed night
dusty sierra
That scene was actually in the movie
hexed night
Amazing
dusty sierra
Truman had one scene in the movie and I love how Nolan is so obsessed with casting A-list actors he cast Gary Oldman as Truman
For a 30-second scene
hexed night
Didn't he also play Winston Churchill?
dusty sierra
Yeah he did
In Darkest Hour, but that's not a Nolan movie
Though he was Commissioner Gordon in the Dark Knight trilogy
hexed night
Yeah I know that.
dusty sierra
So he is a Nolan mainstay
hexed night
I love it when directors have mainstays, idk why.
dusty sierra
The only actor missing is Michael Caine
But I don't really know who you could have casted him as in a movie like this
hexed night
What about Christian Bale?
dusty sierra
He was in TDK tilogy and in the Prestiege
I don't think he was in any other Nolan movies
hexed night
Oh
dusty sierra
Almost all of the scientists were pretty much perfectly cast
Bohr being played by Kenneth Branagh was weird because he looks almost nothing like Niels Bohr
My biggest praise for this movie is still how thorough it is, the blistering fast pace for a dialogue-heavy drama was for a reason
it covers everything it needs
I am surprised the whole thing was condensed into only three hours
First part is dedicated to giving us background on who Oppenheimer is, the second part is the actual development of the atomic bomb, and the final third is the fallout of the whole event and Oppenheimer's questioning that was staged by Straus due to him having ties with communists
This movie has already been added to the FilmBro Bible on Letterbox 💀
hexed night
What’s that?
dusty sierra
Basically the movies that filmbros won't shut the fuck up about

The amount of random actors I recognized in this movie distracted me
The actor for the one secretary dude who crossed off Kyoto played a main character in Black Lightning
And then the Josh Peck jumpscares
Rami Malek showing up outta nowhere
dusty sierra
The amount of star power in the cast is insane
Gary Oldman for 30 seconds of screentime
upper glacier
Who was he?
dusty sierra
Truman
upper glacier
Ohhhh
Well like that I could've expected
It's more than randomness of the other people I recognized that was funny
Rodrick Rules guy showing up
dusty sierra
He can at least blend in very well into a role
upper glacier
David Dastmalchian also surprised me
Matt Damon
Young Han Solo
Kenneth Branagh
dusty sierra
I loved the casting for 99% of the characters, I am only scratching my head because of Kenneth Branagh being cast as Bohr
upper glacier
Human Jarvis from Agent Carter was there
dusty sierra
He looks nothing like Neils Bohr
Usually the actors somewhat resembled the people they were playing as
But he did a decent job
dusty sierra
Young Han Solo
I loved his performance actually
upper glacier
Yeah no one was bad
dusty sierra
I still feel like he had a similar role to Ariadne in Inception where he was just there to keep asking questions
upper glacier
My only thing was Cillian Murphy was very very specific with his cadence and accent to emulate the titular character, which is fine, but it made all the Americans sound a little like modern in comparison
Like RDJ was kinda doing a voice but every now and then he just sounded like himself. Not necessarily making it a bad performance just kinda made it stand out.
dusty sierra
Meaner everyone who had a foreign accent did a great job
Benny Safdie as Teller had a perfect accent, as someone who is part Hungarian, that is usually how they sound when speaking English
upper glacier
The sound and visuals were like the usual as good as I would've hoped. It didn't like dazzle me persay but there was one moment I liked where they were driving and then this like whining of the music started creeping in from the back of the theater before transitioning into the next scene
That was cool
dusty sierra
Yeah I agree there the visual effects wowed me less than the sound design
All of the sounds when Oppenheimer is freaking out
The buildup to the nuke exploding was perfectly done
upper glacier
I liked the scene with the crowd cheering him on as he visualized the deaths as the bomb went off
dusty sierra
It was horrifying
stark quail
I liked the scene with the crowd cheering him on as he visualized the deaths as ...
Yeah shit was intense
upper glacier
I think that was very well handled emotionally
upper glacier
It didn't rely on showing you anything so much as it relied on the idea of it which I think further pushed his own anxieties and regrets.
dusty sierra
It’s why I wanted to watch the movie, it’s the psychological torment that he went through after the invention of the bonb
stark quail
I know some are divided on the last act but that was the best part tbh
stark quail
Seeing Lewis Strauss fall from testimony and everyone finding out about his bullshit was the most satisfying thing I’ve seen
stark quail
Dr. Hill’s speech was satisfying
Rami malek came and didn’t hold back
onyx hearth
Robert Downey Jr’s acting was really good in this film
stark quail
RDR best role
upper glacier
I do like too that there was a sorta ambiguity of how much he truly regretted his actions and how much he just liked the fame and attention. Like he clearly was shaken by them actually using the bomb but that lack of standing against it on his middle of the road principles did create a good character study.
dusty sierra
Freddie Mercury bodies Iron Man
stark quail
Honestly
Hopefully
Robert gets a best supporting actor nomination
Especially when he rants about Oppenheimer in his office before being sought out
Holy shit he delivered
dusty sierra
Another scene that is satisfying is Kitty at the trials in from of that staged committee
upper glacier
Idk how I feel about Kitty's character
Christopher Nolan famously struggles with writing female characters and I think it shows here with that like dichotomy of one woman being a sex object tragedy and the other being the hard-ass witty one. And then the background woman scientist who gets two lines, one where they assume she's a secretary and the other where they talk about her ovaries. It's not that it would be unrealisitic if that happened, I just question the necessity of those moments and why she couldn't just be a background character like every other male scientist.
onyx hearth
I liked Einstein’s scenes in the film and just sort of reality he would hit Oppenheimer with
dusty sierra
For me it was less of a problem than it was in Tenet, Kat was one of the main cast and she needed to be important in a sense, Kitty could have easily been a background character with no arc at all
But she was important to Oppenheimer’s life enough to have some part of the spotlight
upper glacier
She could've sure but I feel like almost every biopic I see the male character has a hardass wife that has to put up with his bullshit and never is allowed a break because "well historically that was probably how it was" and the affair character that the main character regrets being with in their moments of weakness.
Maybe I'm just tired of that dynamic is all.
dusty sierra
I mean it’s very valid
upper glacier
It's not that it isn't valid it just feels very like a man's perspective of it at times.
dusty sierra
I think Jean was way better done than Kitty
upper glacier
I like the half a second where it implied she was assassinated, that was a good subtle jab
You know what it is? It's the Walk Hard effect
That movie covers like every biopic trope (more specifically for musicians) but it has that exact dynamic.
dusty sierra
Ye ye
One thing Nolan surprised me with is that there’s moments with some genuine emotion, his movies are usually just very cold
onyx hearth
I’m just glad it didn’t have those stupid fucking credits where it talks about what happened to every person later on
dusty sierra
Nolan is very much a director that shoots high with the theme and concept but doesn’t focus on some more specific and important elements
dusty sierra
I’m just glad it didn’t have those stupid fucking credits where it talks about w...
I didn’t expect him to do that
His credits are always just black background and white text
onyx hearth
Me neither but when I think of Biopics I think of that stupid trope
dusty sierra
Like every goddamn Nolan movie ends like that
The movie is thorough enough to not need that bit anyway
upper glacier
I like that in incorporated that with his convo with einstein
The Kennedy thing was stupid though
onyx hearth
If only more biopics ended on a mic drop and not 13 pages of a slideshow presentation
onyx hearth
The Kennedy thing was stupid though
Not the dramatic pausing like it was an MCU reveal
dusty sierra
The Kennedy thing was stupid though
It gave me the same vibes as when that one woman told Blake to use his real name “Robin” in The Dark Knight Rises
Like
It’s not going anywhere
Why make it a big deal
onyx hearth
The other scene I could think of that had me dying was when Oppenheimer first said his iconic line while having sex talk
upper glacier
Yeah it's stuff like that that makes me wonder with like "prestigious" directors and the way they view superhero movies. Like Nolan has obviously done Batman so he's not necessarily the main example, but like when they said "you're a scientist, change out of that military uniform" and they show the over the shoulder picking the hat up off the table and the pipe and it's like this is literally a superhero putting on their cape scene.
Einstein being revealed out by the pond and then jumpscaring from behind a car and all that
onyx hearth
They pull out these historical figures like they are superhero cameos and I don’t get it lol
Einstein had really good dialogue but there was no reason to do the build up or whatever to showing him
Lmao
dusty sierra
Thing is, Nolan never really did these things for his non-superhero movies
upper glacier
Like all biopics treat things that the audiences knows about like with reverence in the context of the movie when in reality dude just liked wearing hats and smoking like every other man in the America in the 1940s
dusty sierra
I don’t know why Oppenheimer has these
This is why me and Nolan have an everlasting abusive relationship
onyx hearth
It’s wild how this is the first time Cillian Murphy has been the star of a Nolan movie because he fucking kills it
upper glacier
Like all biopics treat things that the audiences knows about like with reverence...
Again this movie perfectly parodies the energy
onyx hearth
Oppenheimer has a lot more good than it does bad but it’s definitely not like perfect it’s a lot better some biopics I’ve seen before
upper glacier
Yeah it's definitely great
onyx hearth
Especially when it comes to historical films
upper glacier
It made sure all the characters it used definitely felt like important in ways that didn't feel overbearing
onyx hearth
Hollywood directors like to twist things in history or make people out better than they were

I can EASILY ignore the small stupid moments because of everything this movie achieved
upper glacier
It's a courtroom drama more than anything else and that worked really well
onyx hearth
While this movie did a mostly alright job at showcasing the moral grey
upper glacier
It was a solid overall criticism that didn't make its characters feel particularly evil so much as just caught up in their ways
dusty sierra
It's a courtroom drama more than anything else and that worked really well
Those scenes for me were really the meat of the movie, not really the buildup to the nuke test
upper glacier
Definitely
onyx hearth
I think many historical films feel the need to make characters the heroes of the story
This one doesn’t really have any of the so called hero figures but a lot of flawed individuals
dusty sierra
The moments that had me glued to the screen really were the Senate confirmation hearing scenes
The drama was so palpable
It was just a field for Nolan to flex his writing skills for drama
And I’m happy he got better at writing dialogue
He usually annoyed me with how he wrote and shot scenes of characters talking to each other
upper glacier
It was definitely good here but a little....one note?
onyx hearth
I really loved the scene where the nuke test was happening and at first there’s a bit excitement but you can see Oppenheimer slowly realizing the horrors of what he created as he stares out into the flames
upper glacier
If felt like there was a lot of "are you saying I'm a this?" "no, I never said a this specifically" moments
dusty sierra
I didn’t have a problem with it
I want to watch the movie again to really get deeper into sone of the issues I had
upper glacier
It's not bad but it stands out I guess more having written stuff where I notice all the time when my characters start sounding all the same. So when I watch stuff and I here like similar phrasing and conversations across lots of characters it can take me out of it. Especially when it's like meant to be real, and no one really talks like that eloquently or sharply or as succinct. Not that I think everyone should stumble over their words or anything for the sake of realism, it's just that heightened reality undermines some of the more grounded elements that come with it being inspired by a real story.
onyx hearth
Well some of it I think is obviously Nolan not wanting particularly to take a hard stance with the figure in terms of beliefs, I mean at the time it would make sense that Oppenheimer would continue to deny any communist attributes and I could see that being a very real thing he would have to answer on frequently during the hearings.
upper glacier
No no I mean the joke lines
The "you meet humble physicists" "I've never met a humble physicist"
onyx hearth
Ah I see
upper glacier
"you'll go back to being a lowley shoe salesman" "I was not a lowley shoe salesman"

I was really expecting to see them drop the bomb on Japan and we would have got some horrific rated R scenes. But I’m glad they didn’t.

fucking phenomenal

despite the absolute plethora of fucking cocksucking ass dipshits in my showing ...
ah crap your theater had shitters too?
sullen galleon
dude
for one
this fucking clown car’s worth of old fucks walked in like 10 minutes into the movie and were shining their phone flashlights at every fucking angle and speaking at full volume trying to find their seats
and directly behind us was this dipshit who would let out the most braindead sounding guffaw ive ever heard at the most inappropriate moments
AND ONE OF THE FRIENDS I WENT WITH KEPT CHECKING HIS PHONE
(and also stank a little after we walked there im ngl he put his flannel back on and a whiff floated in my direction briefly 💀 atomic bomb in my nose)
frankly its a testament to this movie that i was able to salvage it despite all those things
if that dude chortled during the bomb scene i wouldve materialized a gun out of thin air and shoved it up his ass
on that subject though, and on a more positive note, that scene and the buildup was so fucking incredible
cillian murphy sounded so much like the real oppenheimer it gave me such intense chills
pale sonnet
frankly its a testament to this movie that i was able to salvage it despite all ...
ah shoot, sorry you had to go through that, it’s unbearable as shit whenever theaters are like that, especially with the phone flashlights thing, it happens literally every fucking time
pale sonnet
on that subject though, and on a more positive note, that scene and the buildup ...
though yes, i definitely got to really enjoy it a lot more the second time and that scene was beautiful
i love how there’s no sound at first and the sound only happens after you see the explosion
hexed night
dusty sierra
Looking back, my only issue with the movie is Nolan not being able to write women, and Kitty and Jean suffering as characters as a result of that
I have never seen a director be this bad at writing women, and I am surprised he doesn't let his wife do it since she helps him with filmmaking
I think I would have liked Tenet way more if Kat was written by an actual woman
Kitty did have a really good moment in the movie though, at least he got that right
dusty sierra
subtle vigil
wow.
dusty sierra
The ending to Oppenheimer was a warning fr
subtle vigil
It's crazy how Nolan made one of his worst films with Tenet then followed it up with easily one of his best
sullen galleon
this one's up there with interstellar as my favorite of his
might be my favorite of his period honestly
dusty sierra
I have to agree, even if Tenet is near and dear to my heart, it’s easily his worst movie
Dunkirk is still my favourite
Followed by Inception
sullen galleon
i keep forgetting that exists
dusty sierra
And then it’s Oppenheimer
sullen galleon
and i gotta rewatch inception
dusty sierra
i keep forgetting that exists
It’s sad when it’s my favourite WWII movie
Dunkirk had that indie feeling to it that is missing from Nolan movies
It feels like a big-budget indie movie
Interstellar would be up there if it was paced better, but Interstellar has a lot of emotion in it, it’s genuinely a very good movie about the perseverance of love and its transcendence through time and space
Nolan making a movie themes around love is a miracle
upper glacier
I forgot about Dunkirk immediately after watching it ngl
I just don't like war movies
My forgetting a movie is the ultimate sign that I don't have any argument for its quality. It's a pure "idk, probably just not for me"
dusty sierra
Dunkirk is a weird movie to critique because of how differently it’s structured than typical movies and it certainly won’t work for everyone
sullen galleon
i dont know if ive seen any specifically war movies besides 1917
i loved that one but im not really dying to see others
dusty sierra
That one is amazing
upper glacier
As you can see I'm well versed in war movies
dusty sierra
Dunkirk is a movie about an event and how the event evolves over the runtime, and how different perspectives see that event (a soldier, pilot, civilian, general and so on)
The characters aren’t really built up at all
sullen galleon
oh fuck the breadwinner, THATS what i couldnt remember that i wanted to see
if family movie night falls through maybe i'll watch that tn
upper glacier
It's very good
dusty sierra
As you can see I'm well versed in war movies
JoJo Rabbit is a close second

Jojo Rabbit is very...eh for me. Like it's very very well crafted but I have issues with the tone and how it presents its message.

dusty sierra
Circle is perplexing like that
upper glacier
Like I said it's a very very well made movie
I don't like taking credit from a film just cause of one specific thing that irks me
This being of course Scarlett Johansson in this movie
dusty sierra
Though I admit I do that sometimes, I say a movie is good and that I don’t like it, and vice versa
upper glacier
You know what it is, Jojo Rabbit is a good satire that also wants to convey a deeper message that I don't think it handles very well
subtle vigil
One of the best war movies I've ever seen was Das Boot
Shit was like 4 hours long and it almost entirely takes place in a submarine. It's also not in English so there's a lot of subtitles. Worth it though
subtle vigil
There's multiple cuts of the film, one of which is the TV version that's 5 hours long 
upper glacier
I wonder what the longest movie on my watchlist is
dusty sierra
I actually don’t really care about movie runtimes all that much
upper glacier
It's Berlin Alexanderplatz at....15 hours
dusty sierra
Oppenheimer’s runtime fascinates me because of the fast pace
dusty sierra
It's Berlin Alexanderplatz at....15 hours
Oh I think I know this one
subtle vigil
For a 3 hour movie it felt like it was only 2 and a half
upper glacier
It's films like these that make me wish I had an easy place to rate pacing
dusty sierra
The pace was blistering fast for a drama
I feel like this is the movie’s crowning achievement
sullen galleon
to me oppenheimer definitely felt its length, just not in a bad way
dusty sierra
Making a 3h biopic drama feel fast and interesting
sullen galleon
like it felt like 3 hrs but i was always pretty engaged
subtle vigil
Idk if everyone will feel the same about the pacing. There was some bitch at the theater today who checked her full-brightness smart watch at least every 10 minutes during the duration of the film
upper glacier
I wouldn't say it felt fast, but it never felt slow
dusty sierra
I had someone walk out but everyone was glued to the screen

I can't stand people who use their phone during the theater
That and people who let their loud ass fucking kids make noise during the movie
Maybe I was just raised differently but if I started making loud noises in the theater my ass would be dragged out of their and put back in the car to be taken home
People who act like jackasses in public without taking into account how that makes everyone else feel is a massive pet peeve of mine
upper glacier
I wonder if part of the lack of restraint in the theater is a result of the closed nature of where theaters tend to be
dusty sierra
Nah, it’s just common decency ti not be obnoxious in a theatre, in high school our literature professor sat us all down and made us recite rules of going to the theatre and opera
upper glacier
I was thinking that after Barbie, my friends and I got Wendy's and we had to drive a bit to get there and then went home to eat and talk and like you'd hope more theaters had restaurant options close by to allow for people to let loose. I'm sure a lot do, but in my area theaters are always like tucked out of the way.
Not that that's inherently tied to looking at your phone and being a douche
dusty sierra
My theatre is in the food court of the mall
upper glacier
Mall theaters definitely seemed like a good idea
dusty sierra
It usually helps
upper glacier
But then you know...most malls died out
dusty sierra
I never had bad experiences in the mall theatre
sullen galleon
some people are definitely just jackasses, all the theaters i go to are in very urban spaces with lots of options for recreation and food in the immediate vicinity
including one in one mall that is still super packed all the time. but its in the middle of a super popular town center so
upper glacier
The city theater in my area usually suffers because of the locale
People are just a lot more roudier
And we're not really like a trendy city, it's mostly corner shops
sullen galleon
yeah thats fair
central ohio is definitely much different lol
especially the area near campus. gentrification station baby

When I went to see Spiderverse there was some annoying ass kid who brought his toys to the theater and he fucking dropped something between the seats and the adult he was with fucking turned on their phone flashlight to go look for it.

is this what kids in the 2000s had instead of family guy compilations with subway surfers during a movie
upper glacier
That's the worst paradox about movies, the only way to make any money is by allowing anyone to come in. To get rid of every shitty family with a screaming kid would probably gut 75% of box office revenue.
sullen galleon
"boring ahh movie" (pulls out my viewmaster)
subtle vigil
I hate how society encourages everyone to have kids when half of them have no idea how to take care of them
sullen galleon
crazy how much thats come up in convo w my friends & siblings recently. lmao
upper glacier
I wonder if it might be more beneficial to do smaller theaters with specific guidelines depending on viewing. Like sure the appeal of something like Oppenheimer is the big theater and the surround sound, but I wonder if it might be necessary to enforce restrictions and raise prices for films like this to enhance the experience. No one would like it obviously, least of all me, but also like films like this aren't that common. Even making a film like this is so expensive and require such fine tuning in terms of filming and mixing and editing that maybe it justifies the limitations. Especially since nothing is stopping you from renting the movie for cheaper at home later.
Idk I often wonder if there's a solution to the theater problem
sullen galleon
im not sure tbh
i dont think most people would trade a couple annoying cocksuckers for higher prices
dusty sierra

My very autistic but very abnormally smart friend says this all the time and very bluntly said this to a person who preaches anti-abortion stuff, and I fully agree
It’s always the people who don’t know how to take care of kids who are the ones who want them the most
upper glacier
Don't know nothing about themselves motherfuckers
Gotta understand who you are before you can attempt to raise someone else
You know I wish they went more into Oppenheimer's relation to his kids in this movie
It's like a somewhat important scene early on where he asks his friend to essentially raise the kid indefinitely but isn't really gone back to later, especially since he has more children later on.
sullen galleon
i guess its a testament to how uninvolved he was
dusty sierra
Yeah in every scene the kid is crying
I like the moments where you could see how horrible Oppenheimer could be
upper glacier
Yeah I think that worked well it's just the lack of follow through. Just a brief acknowledgement I think would've been helpful. There's in general a lot of time spent showing how the other people in his career field regard him and view him but I don't think enough time spent showing what his personal life is like as a result. Just "wife mad" and I already said how I don't really like how her and Jean were portrayed. It think it would've further driven home the relative hypocrisy of how much he cares about human life and regrets his decisions if it were more clear that he seemed more upset by his superiors ignoring him than his family not having any relationship with him.

Just saw Oppenheimer
My main complaint was that sometimes I could hear the character talk cause of the damn music
dusty sierra
Skill issue, I somehow got everything

Like I had to look up tf Oppenheimer said at the end of the film

You goof, he obviously said "and that's how I found out bombs kill people"

wafez doesnt understand people if they speak too clearly
dusty sierra
Wafez could understand Simlish but not Oppenheimer’s dialogue

Also this movie makes me hate that we might not get a Solo sequel cause Alden Ehrenreich is a fucking phenomenal actor

After seeing the movie I don't understand why everyone was talking about the sex scenes before. Going in I was expecting to see Cillian's two atomic bombs and uranium rod for like 15 minutes, but in the movie it's so fucking tame for an adult drama. Like a minute or two of boobs and that's it, and it's not even presented that sexually either. Why were people making such a big deal out of it? Are people becoming more prudish or was this some sort of elaborate marketing to trick people into thinking they were gonna watch softcore porn?
dusty sierra
I didn't know anything about the movie and I went into it knowing it was an R-rated movie, it's so easy to keep ratings in mind even if they are stupid
I think it's because Christopher Nolan movies rarely have sex scenes

I was annoyed that they bothered if they were gonna go so softcore tbh
Either show me his dick and balls or show me nothing at all
Otherwise it just feels like a bunch of straight teenage boys going "hehe, boobies"

It just in general added on to my frustration with the way the female characters were written. I really didn't like how in the interrogation scene Kitty seemed specifically bothered by Jean as opposed to Oppenheimer himself. Staring her in the eyes specifically as she envisioned it, it just reinforces that strange insistence in media that men are just passive receivers of sex and not active participants. In general it felt like the whole thing was framed as Jean being desperate and him feeling guilted into spending the night with her. Which hey maybe that's how it was, all I know is in terms of the film it doesn't really add much to Kitty or Jean's characters when they're portrayed as either weak or spiteful.
sullen galleon
yeah i wasnt a fan of jean as a character
kitty i liked, but yeah given nolan’s track record w women it doesnt help lol
isolated tho i dont think she was a bad character, i really gathered that a lot of her spite was bc of oppenheimer’s poor behavior
dusty sierra
I think Kitty's characterization serves the theme really well with how the coloured scenes are Oppenheimer's perspective
Jean however is just
not good
I just wish Nolan would either learn how to write women or let his wife or an actual women write them

Oppenheimer was great.
I loved how realistic it felt and the tensions and everything.

what did you think of the musical scene at los alamos when he jumps on his desk and breaks into song singing "im just oppie, anywhere else id be a toppy, giving mad sloppy"
hexed night
I almost fainted, Cillian’s performance and talents are almost beyond my understanding. No wonder Nolan chose him.
