"Superb movie. Massive parallels between how he was treated after the war and Alan Turing." Was thinking the exact same thing as I left | |||

"Superb movie. Massive parallels between how he was treated after the war and Alan Turing." I see how you might think that but I'm not sure it's accurate. The seeds of Oppenheimer's downfall started before ww2 and only gathered pace from then. He had a lot of enemies from politics, business and academia. It was a convenience to label him a security, his enemies needed him out of the way. He was incredibly persuasive and needed to be removed from the picture so the nuclear arms race would proceed impeded There was a number of physicists in WW2 anticipating how the world would change with atomic weapons. Oppenheimer thought the genie could be put back into the bottle and tried repeatedly to do so. | |||

Oppenheimer thought the genie could be put back into the bottle and tried repeatedly to do so." It was in respect of how people that had done much to bring about the end of the war (although still arguable in respect of the Manhattan Project, although if they hadn't, the Germans or Russians would), were then so poorly treated afterwards. Turing was in many ways easier to vilify, as his sexuality was illegal at the time. Oppenheimer's downfall had to be bought about in a more nuanced fashion. | |||

"Is it that long ffs ?? People can attest to the fact I struggle to sit still for 10 minutes " The last 30-40 minutes could have probably been edited but the dialogue was so compelling, you didn't realise how long the film was. | |||

"I went to see it on Saturday. I really enjoyed and so did my son even though it's not his kind of flim. I will say the sound was a bit load for me at times but that might have been just in our cinema. " The sound is really loud (I've seen it in two cinemas now). | |||
