re: Oppenheimer is a good movie not a great movie

they made a big point. they talked about it a lot. they introduced the nazis scientist working on it and how Oppenheimer met them before the war.

he had one short scene with him. And then there was one line about them working on it as well. Now compared to the screen time RDJ got and the amount of time they spent on his court hearings and the amount of time it showed him with his wife or lover and the complex relationship they had. The focus was on Oppenheimer the man, not Oppenheimer the scientist who was head of the manhattan project. That was simply a slice of the pie that made the man and so they cover it in the movie. If that’s what you’re into fine, but please for the love of god stop trying to use the point of why the movie was so good was because it goes in detail over the intensity and gravity of the project itself. If it did it would’ve been called the Manhattan project not Oppenheimer.
