Oppenheimer (2023)

So, I want to preface this by saying that I KNOOOOOOW that Oppenheimer is somewhat of a feat of modern filmmaking, the sheer amount of film that it took up was insane and a lot of the practical effects were very ambitious. That being said. Amazing tech specs can't always make a film exciting or entertaining.

I found the entire thing rather depressing. It was mainly just lots of unnamed men (they hardly ever introduced the characters properly) talking about bombs and science, which is great if you're into bombs and science, but as a person who has no interest in that, there wasn't really any d r a m a outside of Oppenheimer cheating on his wife a couple times.

Also the constant emphasis on the whole "Oppenheimer didn't destroy the world but Oppenheimer did destroy the world" felt like a thinly veiled threat. I think it was far too on the nose to have produced a film about nuclear weaponry in an era where countries are threatening each other with way worse weapons that Oppenheimer's. Nolan, there is a time and a place, and now is not the time nor the place.

People go to the movies to escape and to be entertained, this was basically just the American film industry using star power to taunt the countries on the brink of nuclear war into pressing the fucking button.

To add; "They left out that children aren’t your purpose in life. They shouldn’t give your life meaning. That’s something you should have already had."
