Watched this last night. It was about 45 minutes too long. The political intrigue after the Trinity test really killed the pacing. I think the big problem is that if you make a movie about Oppenheimer, the narrative climax is the atom bomb test, regardless of what story you may want to tell as a filmmaker. Unfortunately, there was about an hour of falling action that felt like a completely different (and less interesting) movie.
The first two hours was great, but by the end, it felt like a bit of a slog. However, Cillian Murphy was brilliant throughout. And the sound was fine
Friend suggested he might prefer a Feynman movie and I was like āI donāt need to hear about him ever again. What we really need is a Lise Meitner movie!ā

I would be thrilled to see a Lise Meitner movie.
I think Oppenheimer was mostly fine as a biopic. The last third was a bit repetitive though. Also for me, as a physics fanboy, the effort to spot various physicists kept the movie interesting in some slower moments. Overall it was entertaining enough but wonāt make the list of my favorite movies.

Saw it last night so had avoided this thread. Iām a fan of Nolan but this falls into biopic trap of focusing on the wrong things. Also skips over the most interesting part which is the science at the crucial point in the film. Iām reading E=mc2 just now by david bodanis which is excellent and shows you can explain this stuff clearly and in an entertaining way. I enjoyed the film but to me it was uneven. And yes the music - too much and too loud. Great performances.

Itās interesting that Donna Reed helped to develop The Beginning of the End which was about the development of the atomic bomb. I loved the Donna Reed show as a tween. Her playing twins was a real cinematic feat.
And what about Louis Slotin? No one seems to ever mention what happened to himā¦
like the fallout of nuclear bomb

After I retired, I used to babysit that Schmoppenheiser fellow the kids in this thread keep talkinā about. He didnāt quit diapers until he was five. It was the bomb down there every goddam time I can tell you.

The drone of season 3 sent me to sleep so consistently that I had a hard time finishing it.

I know a man who got trichinosis from a sausage he found in a German womanās refrigerator of a house he was painting while she was away and he lost all his hair more or less over night.
