Well deserved wins, 2023 was a competitive year and honestly a lot of the nominees were good picks, but Oppenheimer I think was the best of them. So thrilled Cillian’s performance was recognised particularly given how far his come as an actor working with Christopher Nolan whose Best Director win was also very well deserved, it’s among the very best of his work!

When you asked Profeesor Feynman "Where are your glasses?" (about 30 minutes in, just before the blast), he would have said (as he explained many years later) that he knew the car windscreen would block all harmful UV rays and, as long as he closed his eyes for the flash, he'd be fine. He was an exceptionally clever man - when asked to help with the investigation into the Challenger shuttle disaster, he let the 'experts' argue amongst themslves for a while and then dropped a small version of the O ring seal whose failure had caused the disaster into a jug of ice and water, shutting everyone up when the seal cracked immediately. It was a "I rest my case" moment.

Feynman was a different sort of genius, some called him a magician because know no one knew how he did things. He was also a trickster, he got bored at Los Alamos and for fun wondered if he could access other scientists filing cabinets, he entered the same six figure number into the rolling locks, the number was Pi, 22 over 7 to 6 digits and he opened a number and then left cryptic notes inside. It freaked people out, they thought they had a spy! They did, it was Klaus Fuchs!

I rather like his story of how he, according to himself, bluffed his way through a lot of things and got lucky. For instance, he was sent to Hanford (I think it was?) to advise on the uranium enrichment setup, and the engineers showed him these factory-scale schematics of pipes, valves, pumps, flows and tanks and argued how it was all safe, redundant and clever. Feynman, not knowing anything about industrial-scale engineering for chemical plants, figured he’d need to ask something just to earn his paycheck, so he pointed to a random thing in the schematic, and asked “what about this?”. The engineers looked down at the plans then up at him, shocked and contrite: “You’re right, dr Feynman! We hadn’t caught that! Thank you!” Feynman wasn’t sure what he’d even pointed at.

Feynman was so clever in fact that he _wasn't_ "Professor" Feynman at this point, by quite a number of years - they recruited him to the Manhattan Project before he'd even finished his post-graduate studies, let alone become a professor. And much as i'm a Feynman fan BTW, i'm an even bigger fan of the truth :). It was the "experts" (as you put it) that discovered the o-ring issue in the first place (engineers from the NASA subcontractor that built the booster rocket even suggested _before the launch_ that the forecasted cold weather could be a problem and were overruled by their management) but after looking at the evidence (some of which - fun fact - was indirectly supplied by the shuttle astronaut Sally Ride, who was _also_ on the commission and anonymously leaked the results of tests on the o-rings to another member), Feynman independently came to the same conclusion and used his position as a famous scientist to provide, in his own inimitable style, that simple, incisive public demonstration of the issue (i.e. contrary to your implication, he didn't come up with the solution all by himself nor was everyone else involved incompetent nor was the demonstration itself "off the cuff").

Threads used to be on youtube not long ago. It's a shame if it's gone, but inevitable if a streaming service has it. Other great cold war movies (not all nuclear) are Dr Strangelove (serio-comedy but technically accurate), Fail Safe (serious and great, but nothing in it is technically accurate), The Bedford Incident, Ice Station Zebra (by Alistair MacClean the master of adventure), On the Beach, Miracle Mile, Ladybug Ladybug (nuclear war from the POV of children, and also British), One, Two, Three (a great pure comedy with James Cagney), and The Big Lift (the only true story here, about the cold war's early days).

29:07 Truman was a WWI veteran. An artillery commander. So he had seen and taken part in some incredibly brutal combat. He understood the human cost and significance of the decision he made when he made it. So it's not about "I get credit." It's more about having the conviction and fortitude to stand by the hard decisions made in such a war. Oppenheimer coming in moping about his sense of guilt when Truman shoulders the burden for what happened rubbed him the wrong way. In his own words: “Blood on his hands, dammit, he hasn’t half as much blood on his hands as I have. You just don’t go around bellyaching about it.” Truman was a hardass and also understood, quite intimately, the cost of war and the price of securing victory over such a determined enemy.

As an anarcho-communist myself I loved that Oppenheimer tackles that fact that from prior to the start of the war, during the war, and after the war, the United States has always been far more willing to side with fascists than cooperate with anarchists/socialists/communist. In my experience, most films tackling the era, the topic of both the bomb, and the second world war always fail to address that fact. I do love that the “politics” within the film, as a device for the narrative, show how the security state of the United States is made up almost entirely of paranoid little boys playing soldier, and reducing what they see as their opposition-the conflation of “Russian” with “Communists”-into black & white. Would have been neat to hear more mention of the efforts to prevent the Nazis from acquiring the heavy water in Norway. And even more so about how we basically pushed the Japanese into a position where they wanted to surrender but could not because our demands were so overbearing and humiliating that they had to reject the initial offer-Creating the propaganda that “the Japanese will never surrender.” Speaking of propaganda, 🤔 lot of WWII films & shows, wonder why that is 🤨😂, (because most Americans can agree that the Nazis had to be defeated.) I love the portrayal of that piece of garbage Truman as well. I loved that Rami Malick didn’t seem to have any lines and then all of a sudden he delivers a whole testimony. I had to rewatch the film to realize Alex Wolff even had lines 😂 It’s crazy how many big actors were in the film. Anyway, I think the greatest element of the film absolutely was the acting. The only other WWII films I could/would recommend: (1) Downfall (2004) (2) Come And See (1985) (3) Jojo Rabbit (2019.) Also, Tenet was pretty good, I was surprised that I liked it more than I had expected.

The cast is phenomenal, the writing and directing is impeccable as is the cinematography and score. Truly one of the best films of the century. I also loved Gary Oldman as Truman, he did an amazing job with such limited screen time. Also, Truman said to someone else regarding Oppenheimer’s quote of having blood on his hands as “I have more blood on my hands than he could imagine.” That seems to say that Truman also had mixed feelings about the situation, but being the president and knowing the bombings did in fact end WWII, he likely was able to process how the war ended a bit better than Oppenheimer as he had to give the go ahead after being informed what would happen once the bombs were dropped and what the effects would be for those who were alive afterwards and didn’t have an intimate involvement in the creation of the bombs. Great reactions guys, take care!

Almost a decade ago there was a fairly good 2-season TV series about the Manhattan project called simply _Manhattan_ which is streaming on several platforms. It is more fictionalized in that most of the characters are composites of real people, and characters like Oppenheimer appear only briefly. But it dives deeper into the logistical difficulties, the conflicts over the approach to take, the paranoia over security, the fact that there were actually spies in Los Alamos, the role of women (both the female physicists and mathematicians, and the wives of the scientists, some of whom had professional qualifications in other fields they gave up to remain a family), etc. In terms of story arc _Oppenheimer_ reminds me of _The Imitation Game_ : a brilliant scientist leads an effort to make a critical breakthrough that helps win WWII, there are arguments over exactly how that breakthrough should be employed, and after the war the scientist ends up distrusted by the government he served because of his personal life. The big difference being that the code-breaking at Bletchley Park remained an Official Secret that was illegal to discuss for decades so the importance of the people who did the work wasn't really known until the 1970s and later.

I have never IN MY LIFE seen a film in which the sound alone carries such profound thematic weight, but that's what the sound in The Zone of Interest does. #IYKYK

The movie JFK distorted so many things. Your review of this movie was great. Incredible movie. The bomb was used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki because the number of allied troops that would have died in an invasion of Japan would have been enormous. I understand why it was used, but I also understand why it traumatized Oppenheimer so much.

Very true. Japan’s Longest Day by The Pacific War Research Society is the definitive story told from the Japanese’s perspective about their response to the Potsdam Declaration after the A-bombs were dropped. Japan had initially rejected the ultimatum and despite the A-bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki the unconditional surrender almost didn’t happen. Manga artist Yukinobu Hoshino’s new graphic novel of the same title will be out in April. People should check it out because the necessity of the A-bombs is reinforced through the meticulous research of the original text and subsequent graphic novel.

Yes, our casualties would have been at least a half million, but the Japanese women were training to fight with spears, and killing their children to prevent their capture. The kill ratio would have been at least 10 to 1, so at least 5 million Japanese dead. The war would have gone on for an extra year or two, maybe longer, meanwhile the Japanese were still killing 250K mostly civilians every month, and those who survived said it was getting worse.

By the way, I agree that the movie JFK is worthless, but I don't understand why various reactors are suddenly watching JFK and All The President's Men. If there is a push for political thrillers then it's inexplicable that nobody is suggesting The Manchurian Candidate or Seven Days in May or The Marathon Man.

@@RJKookie See the video in which Freeman Dyson (of Dyson Sphere fame) discusses this, and his theory that they only surrendered because the USSR declared war, knowing that Soviet occupation would be worse than death. Even if true, we were still right to drop the bombs because we couldn't have known, and the number dying from various causes made the bombs a lot less cruel, relatively, than people today remember. Truman also considered what would happen if the Russians invaded Japan. In hindsight it would have led to North Japan and South Japan, with obvious results.

Just for balance… I’m 72, my Father was a prisoner of war, captured by the Japanese in Singapore. Thousands of men were dying of disease, malnutrition, beatings and denial of medicine. My Father was about to die in this camp, when the first bomb went off in Hiroshima, there was no surrender, a week later the second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. The Japanese surrendered, the war ended, my Father survived, so I am here directly because of the bomb, and so is my 19 year old daughter at college in Chicago. I’m not a proponent of atomic bombs, it was tragic, but at that moment in history, it was critical and saved millions of lives on BOTH sides going forward. I really enjoy your reactions!

@@minhuang8848 Technically, some small amounts of atmosphere created fission, from the energy of the uranium/plutonium fissions weapons, however not enough to cause that atmosphere to create even larger amount of atmosphere to have fission. Nitrogen/Oxygen have far too few neutrons to cause a chain reaction. Uranium/Plutonium were chosen precisely because of their high number of nuetrons per atom. The idea of global atmospheric ignition is far more real with fusion reactions, but the same conclusion is reached.

The scene with the breakdown of where should they drop the bomb on Japan was interesting. It seems hard to come by when you're digging for that part of the war history. The fact Oppenheimer said the government spots were too small to use it on was surprising. Depending on who you ask now in Japan there's still a majority of Japanese even the old generation who have no idea why the Japanese Empire had it coming and the full scope of war crimes committed on the Asian Pacific countries. Only "some" are aware of the Chinese massacre that happened. History always needs our historical responsibility.

I'm currently reading the biography that this movie is based on. Frank (Oppenheimer's brother) was a physicist as well. He followed Robert's steps because he idolized his brother. Kitty didn't care much for her kids, and didn't pay that much attention to them (if any).and she had a drinking problem, in fact, most of the times she's on-screen she has a drink in her hand. Her daughter actually killed herself sadly. Her son is still alive and in his 80s. Nolan said in an interview that he cast a lot of very well-known actors because that way all those characters would be easily recognizable and remembered whilst watching the movie. If the actors were unknown, it would have been harder for people to remember so many names and characters.

I remember while watching the film in the theater the first time and when all was revealed, I basically mumbled under my breathe all the while my coworker/friend could even hear it right next to me, my sudden disdain of Lewis Strauss, played by Robert Downey Jr. With that being said, this was one of my favorite films of 2023. The story and the acting was great. Loved the characters, set designs, visuals, subtle humor, musical score and themes the film was trying to convey to the audience. Also, the cast this movie got was wild!

"Memento" effed my head up for a few days, daze, and I never want to watch it again. "Oppenheimer", to me, is probably the best film of this century, since "The Lord Of The Rings" trilogy. The way J. Robert Oppenheimer was treated by certain people in the government was almost treasonous. He had helped the country create a huge weapon, and then tried to erase him from history. This film ensures that he won't be forgotten.

And as many of his movies require repeat viewings to appreciate it, this one gets exceptionally better each time for several viewings. (Robert Pattinson delivers an absolute fan-favorite character!)
