Uh-oh. The bomb is about to drop. Maybe just the shoe.
That's funny.Openheimer: The Movie. One person's observation.
Reading the thread title I was expecting a Heisenberg joke but I'm uncertain why.
I've found that to be the case with most 3 hour long movies. There are a few exceptions, but for the most part with every 3 hour movie I sat through, they could easily get rid of an hour of it, and you would never miss it...... It drug on too long. The story could have been told in 2 hrs instead of 3, easy......
I thought so. But my sense of humor is a little abnormal. In any case, thanks for the flowers!That's funny.
Me too. I NEVER watch a movie on TV live. I record everything and speed through all the commercials. They are total crap today anyway.I've found that to be the case with most 3 hour long movies.

Besides, today most 2 hour movies are close to 3 hours after you sit through the commercials. It's why I love recording them, so you can blast through all of that crap.
Saw "Open Range" (thought it was an excellent movie) and had no audio issues. It sounds like a theater issue, OR hearing ability at a given age is (and what spectrums we loose) are different. I have a big screen TV down in the basement-with that being said some movies need to be seen on much larger screens than one has at home. Like me-most on here are "demo'ed (demographic) out" when it comes to whom "Hollywood" makes movies for. So between Oppenheimer, Mission Impossible, and Indian Jones newest adventure it's a least pleasant to have a choice of multiple movies (whether you see them all at the theater on not) this summer.I'm the same way. The last movie I saw, (or ever will see), in a theater was, "Open Range". The movie was good, but the audio was absolutely horrible!
The music was blasting so loud, that by the end my wife's ears were starting to hurt. Then, when the actors were talking, the dialogue was so weak you could hardly hear it. This mind you, in a Harkins theater that advertised about it's "super surround sound", or whatever crap they call it.
Since then we just wait until it's available to watch at home. I wouldn't go to another theater if they paid me.
The only way to see this movie as shot and intended is in 70mm IMAX. Any other format won't give you the proper image aspect ratio. You don't want to watch 'Croppenheimer.' There are only 19 70mm IMAX screens in the US. Here is the complete list
I hope you'll enjoy the movie. Nolan hasn't made a bad movie yet.Thanks for the heads up. Just bought tickets for a SoCal imax to see it in. Looking forward to it.

My spidey senses were tingling. The telltale sign was the R rating.One of us in our family is a Nolan fan, so that is one reason why we're going. The other is that I'm into history.
Actually, this question is for anybody who saw the film:
IMDB says there are "extended sequences" of bare body parts.
Do you recall any telltale signs right before the adult scene takes place?

You won't get facts/truth from a movie, they are always sugar coated or else they won't sell.Why I asked the question earlier. I don't mind the facts/truth. But Hollywood glamorization? No.
Exactly, remember we have to look at the timeline. Back then the enemy was the Axis, and Communists are "allies". This is the believe across the world until after WW2 was over, then all of a sudden they are no longer our allies, then a couple decades later Japanese and West Germany were our "allies".Of all of the various documentation on the MP and various biographies I have read, I would say that Oppe was "alleged" to be a communist sympathizer but personally, I have never seen any proof that he agreed with communism or its goals.
Without getting into politics, which is not allowed, here is an historical point we cannot dismiss:
Colleges and Universities had been infiltrated by Communists and Socialists by 1920. Some professors and students agreed with some of the Marxist ideology and joined the American Communist Party. Oppe had to go to these universities to recruit the necessary expertise for the MP.
It was rather like this: I need to check the OBDII code that my vehicle is throwing. My neighbor, who has an ideological bent completely opposite of mine (and which I despise), has an OBDII analyzer but he is willing to come over and plug it in to see the code.
In my view, this was a case of "Dealing-with-the Devil" in order to accomplish a project. So in many people's view, if you associate with the devil, you are a devil.
I have never seen any data that Oppe would commit treason or betray his country.
In fact he was totally surprised that Claus Fuch's was a Russian spy. As later CIA records were disclosed, it was discovered that there were actually four more Russian spy's either transferring information to Russia or working within the MP.
I think keeping Hiroshima and Nagasaki aftermath in there would confuse the story. The story here is more about Oppie and where and whether to drop the bomb or not is, not his decision. I'm sure when the whole program started it was for the Nazi instead of Japan. Sympathizing with Japan's casualty afterward would also affect the international market. If they won't show it in Japan anyways then they don't want to ruin China, S Korea, and the rest of East and South East Asia at least.The Oppenheimer movie was a masterpiece. As @MolaKule pointed out, the movie was more about the interactions and personalities than the Science of the Manhatten Project.
3 hours? Coulda fooled me; the time flew by.
I have to believe a general understanding of Oppie, the Manhatten Project and the hearing greatly affected my response of the film. I even had the benefit of the Berkeley Oppenheimer Panel Discussion last Friday fostering a deeper connection to Oppenheimer and his colleagues.
One question that confuses me is why Christopher Nolan left out the Hiroshima and Nagasaki aftermath. I understand the movie focused on Oppenheimer, but these were probably the most important events in world history. There must have been a conscious decision and reason behind it.
Masterpiece.
You may be right; I certainly thought about that.I think keeping Hiroshima and Nagasaki aftermath in there would confuse the story. The story here is more about Oppie and where and whether to drop the bomb or not is, not his decision. I'm sure when the whole program started it was for the Nazi instead of Japan.
