quote:the issue that I have with many of you who sniff the farts of this film, is you call it great in one breath, then when someone asks why, you say it’s because it’s telling the story of the most monumental event in human history, when that wasn’t even what the movie is about. It’s about the man who happened to spearhead that project because some people, assuming Nolan included, find his life fascinating. And if that’s why you loved it great! But don’t say it’s because of all the in depth detail it shows of the Manhattan project. The Manhattan project is simply the vessel that happened to be used to tell the story of the man. If you’re going to say something is great at least understand why you hold that viewpoint
With such an intellectual criticism like this I have been won over to now not think this is a great movie. Well done

Watched this several times and generally enjoy it, but as I’ve argued before, it’s seriously flawed. Oppenheimer should have had his security clearance revoked because he was co-opting his position to make naive arms control arguments. The hawks were right as history showed. Finally, as I’ve argued before, the Strauss confirmation hearings were a terrible way to bring the drama to a climax. Nobody gaf about Robert Strauss being Secretary of Commerce.
