Oppenheimer (I) (2023)
The tension between the abstractions of physics and the leftist political
30 July 2023
Leaving the theater after seeing "Oppenheimer," in the perspective of Nolan's three hours long was too short for me since "bio-pic" is my favorite second genre. I know this film is not for everyone to watch and it's sort of unfair when I'm not a science or history expert criticizing the deep materials itself but remember what a film is made for without criticism?

The film, it's specifically about this one person, Oppenheimer, a physicist who led the Manhattan Project, during World War II, and turns out to offer more complexity. And it has more to say about the film's essential themes, the ironies when science, ambition, and political power mix than the atomic bomb itself.

I let myself oppose one of Nolan's ideas and his incapable of human connections by not presenting a particular point of view from the Japanese perspective. After all, such a Nolan-typical, he always knows how to handle the emotions by showing the overwhelming flashes of destruction, and conflagrations that burn his audience to the cinders from his marvelous feat.
