    Official Universal Write Up
    "Written and Directed by: ​Christopher Nolan
    Produced by:​ Emma Thomas, Charles Roven and Christopher Nolan
    Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer is an IMAX®-shot epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it.
    The film stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer and Emily Blunt as his wife, biologist and botanist Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer. Oscar® winner Matt Damon portrays General Leslie Groves Jr., director of the Manhattan Project, and Robert Downey, Jr. plays Lewis Strauss, a founding commissioner of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.
    Academy Award® nominee Florence Pugh plays psychiatrist Jean Tatlock, Benny Safdie plays theoretical physicist Edward Teller, Michael Angarano plays Robert Serber and Josh Hartnett plays pioneering American nuclear scientist Ernest Lawrence.
    Oppenheimer also stars Oscar® winner Rami Malek and reunites Nolan with eight-time Oscar® nominated actor, writer and filmmaker Kenneth Branagh.
    The cast includes Dane DeHaan (Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets), Dylan Arnold (Halloween franchise), David Krumholtz (The Ballad of Buster Scruggs), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story) and Matthew Modine (The Dark Knight Rises).
    The film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin. The film is produced by Emma Thomas, Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven and Christopher Nolan.
    Oppenheimer is filmed in a combination of IMAX® 65mm and 65mm large-format film photography including, for the first time ever, sections in IMAX® black and white analogue photography.
    Nolan’s films, including Tenet, Dunkirk, Interstellar, Inception and The Dark Knight trilogy, have earned more than $5 billion at the global box office and have been awarded 11 Oscars and 36 nominations, including two Best Picture nominations."

    It's brilliant, the way they start of the Lewis Strauss(Robert Downey Jr) hearing. It makes you wanna watch the movie again in order to fully understand his intentions and doings. Christopher Nolan movies are always movies you have to watch two or three times to fully understand the entire concept the movie was trying to tell you. The rewatchability is better then any other movie in this world!

    Cillian Murphy and RDJ for Academy Award Nominations at the very least. For me , this is RDJ’s best performance I’ve seen and thought that Lewis Strauss’ intentions and story was displayed so intricately in the timeline of how this movie plays out, and I think I might need a rewatch to catch eveything , as much of Nolan’s work does. Cillian Murphy disappears into his role as Oppenheimer and could’ve brought an incredible performance to the table with just his facial expressions (eyes mainly) and body language alone, which only goes to show how incredible he is. Emily Blunt , Florence Pugh and Rami Malek are also brilliant here. The two segments that really stood out to me was Emily Blunts hearing and Murphys speech after the bombings of Japan where the sound design and imagery takes centre stage, being some of the most immersive of Nolan’s work to date. Also the looks and sounds of the atomic bomb were out of this world. Although, of dialogue heavy and just long runtime movies aren’t your thing this probably isn’t one to watch for you on paper, although I’d still recommend giving it a go.

    Barbie: Creative set pieces and occasionally clever meta humor. On-the-nose preachiness that basically watches like a feature length version of that awful Gillette commercial.
    Oppenheimer: Far more hearings/meetings than I was expecting, but a powerhouse performance from Cillian Murphy and a brilliant use of shifting between multiple points in time to tell a gripping story.

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    01:51 🎬 Oppenheimer is a character study about the complex man who invented the atom bomb and explores the toll it took on him as he realized its implications.
    03:35 😨 The film creates an emotional complexity, where the audience roots for Oppenheimer's success while feeling dread about the potential consequences of the atomic bomb.
    06:18 🎭 The movie portrays Oppenheimer as a flawed human, exploring his ego, irresponsibility, and conflicts, rather than romanticizing him as a perfect hero.
    10:16 🌟 Robert Downey Jr.'s performance shines, reminding viewers of his acting talent beyond his iconic role as Tony Stark.
    13:53 🤔 The film is thought-provoking, delving into the complex ramifications of Oppenheimer's actions and how they shaped history.
    15:29 📜 The movie is different from typical Nolan films, being more of a drama with talk-heavy scenes rather than action-heavy spectacles.
    16:25 ⚠️ The film is rated R for sexual situations and nudity, particularly in two sequences involving Oppenheimer's relationships.
    19:40 🤨 Some aspects feel unclear or lacking in development, particularly the portrayal of Oppenheimer's wife and certain plot elements, making the movie more interesting than emotional.
    23:38 🎥 Overall, Oppenheimer is another triumph for Christopher Nolan, a thought-provoking film tackling significant historical events.

    I really enjoyed Oppenheimer, I rate it a 9.0 out of 10. Cillian Murphy that played Oppenheimer did an amazing job is acting was superb. He could do sad, angry, and very joyful. Him and Albert Einstein(played by Tom Conti ) were some of my favorite characters. Emily Blunt (Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer) played an amazing wife in this movie, and stand on her own as a great character to parallel Oppenheimer. James Remar that played Henry Stimson, for the scene he was in was very recognizable with his voice. He did an amazing job. Robert Downy Jr that played Lewis Strauss, the morally grey character. Did an amazing job as seemingly the villain, character. For me, this is best acting role. From what I seen him in. In addition, David Dastmalchian that played William L. Borden, was a great character. Also with him going through friend and to where he ended up. and Josh Peck (played Kenneth Bainbridge), came an extremely long way from Drake and Josh. With his acting, the characterization he had was amazing.

    Weird territory for me, but coming out of it knowing I didn’t like the movie helped me appreciate movies as subjective art. I know I’m 1 in 100 who doesn’t like the movie, but I appreciate that basically everyone else enjoyed this movie. For me, just way too long and I didn’t think the character development was there for me to actually care. Never thought I would have the complete different feeling of a movie that gets 90% + for both critics and audience scores.

    Oppenheimer, is a film that i truly believe is one of the best movies ever made. It’s thought provoking, well acted, well written, beautifully shot, and extremely well directed. Christopher Nolan will go down in history as one of the greatest directors of all time, alongside Hitchcock and Kubrick.

    With the relationship between Oppenheimer and his wife in this film I actually found parallels to another Cillian Murphy character, Tommy Shelby, with Shelby’s second wife in Peaky Blinders in that they are both physically present and together but the wife can’t emotionally connect with the husband because of his personality, trauma, experiences, etc.

    I really enjoyed Oppenheimer, but I really feel like Nolan should have explored the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to perhaps add more emotion to the story and add more regret and guilt to Oppenheimer’s situation. Does anyone else have any thoughts about this??

    • @BatAmerica
      @BatAmerica Рік тому +2

      From a personal perspective I think not. While it is important to demonstrate the destructive cost of the bombings, by refusing to keep the audiences eyes on the burned citizens and focusing instead on Oppenheimer's reaction it keeps the storyline grounded in that perspective.

    The film could’ve been trimmed down. Very heavy on exposition. 60-80percent of film felt like I was watching something made by a different director. Third act seemed a bit forced. Murphy’s subtle performace was very good. One scene in particular should earn him an oscar nom. Am a big Nolan fan and really wanted to like the film, but some of his older works are much stronger. Biopics seem to be a bit outside of Nolan’s sweet spot.

    Going tonight with my dad in IMAX. I don’t worship the ground Nolan walks on, but because he is an interesting director, I always want to see his next Big Thing. Outside of TDK trilogy and Dunkirk, my dad was not familiar with his filmography. So we watched Memento, Insomnia, TDK trilogy, and Inception. He still hasn’t seen Interstellar or Tenet, but I asked him to come see this new one.
    When our family found out the reasons behind the R-rating, I became especially nervous because I run a movie review blog followed by MANY people who respect my opinion (outside my friends and family). I chose to buy a ticket despite the sexual stuff, but bless you for clarifying where it is in the movie! Will make it much easier to look away. His restraint in movies like The Dark Knight is admirable even though he pushed the PG-13 envelope with that one. Disappointed with his need to go the other way now, even if it’s only a couple of scenes.

It’s not just Nolan that is exposed to such a scene, and his producer Emma Thomas is his wife, for goodness sake. It’s a sacred act between a MARRIED man and woman, not for everyone to see. When people usually say “adult” or “mature” movies, that really just means they filled it with gratuitous content!

    I saw it today. I’m not gonna lie, I was super disappointed. To me, this feels like Oscar-bait and overall was not good. The style choices were all over the place, the sex scene was out of nowhere, the most important parts of his story were left out in favor of boring dialogue sequences and the only good segments were saved towards the end (which, btw, is the climax of the movie and happens an hour before it ends!) This is just another of Christopher Nolan’s recent film fails. To me, the majority of people who praise this movie just want to seem cultured when in reality they are being blinded by an actually sub-paar film. Wouldn’t watch again, 4/10.

    This is another Nolan masterpiece and for me this is definitely a return to form after his last two entries had failed to pull me in fully. This story found a way to interest me even thought I was going into this thinking I knew basically what was going to be covered and that it would be solid but not gripping. Instead, it introduced me to characters and events that I had no idea existed. Combining all of that with the terrific script and stunning performances that this film has all over the place and it delivers a very engaging story that had me completely engrossed from start to finish in the quickest 180 minutes. The film is very bleak and that's exactly the point when dealing with such an awful creation and such slimy people.
