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 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.
