re: Oppenheimer is deeply flawed.

I finally got around to seeing this a week or so ago. The cast and acting is magnificent, the biopic insights were somewhat interesting for the bits I didn't know already. Overall, it was entertaining to a history/science nerd like me but I can see where it wouldn't keep a lot of peoples attention for three hours.

The Moonlight of 2023 would most certainly be a film like Poor Things.
I meant a movie few will watch after 2023.

Even if true, why does that matter?

Why the frick does it matter that a movie won an Oscar? It’s laughable.

You could have chosen any number of Best Picture winners from the last decade and a half to make that point:
The Artist
Argo
12 Years a Slave
Birdman
Spotlight
Moonlight
The Shape of Water
Green Book
Parasite
Nomadland
CODA
Everything Everywhere All At Once
Very few of those (if any) demand a rewatch.

It’s 2024 and people are watching it so I guess this one deserves it by his logic.

The Artist - No
Argo - definitely maybe
12 Years a Slave - no

Moonlight - trailer was long enough
The Shape of Water - nope
Green Book - No
Parasite - uhm, maybe... But haven't yet
Nomadland - que??
CODA
Everything Everywhere All At Once - meh

The 3rd part was the most drama filled and best part of the movie for me. What in the mother fricking frick is OP talking about?
I get what he's saying. His philosophy is there cannot be drama without high stakes, and a random dudes confirmation hearing for commerce secretary is not something world changing. No one gives a shite whether this dude is confirmed or not.
I disagree in that though. The drama is in the writing and acting of the event, not how important the outcome of the event is. For me, a good writer/actor/director could make the cooking of a grilled cheese sandwich high drama.

I'd say you have a point, but while accurate, I'd not go that far.
The weight of the making of and detonating the bomb is supposed to draw us all in. And I think it does, for the most part.

Your deeply flawed comment is pretty laughable too, so…

i deeply agree with this, LOL. I rarely watch a movie without knowing the plot because i want to focus on how they're telling the story.
My problem with Oppenheimer is that the last act switches the dramatic focus to Strauss, and no one gives a hoot about the confirmation hearing.
Compare to Michael Mann’s The Insider, which is pretty dry source material, but very compelling drama.

Agreed. But I’m also someone who loves American history, politics, and the history of American politics
So I loved all the confirmation hearing drama. Nolan made it magnificent.
