Thanks For this
Oppenheimer won a $10 side bet with fellow employee George Kistiakowsky over whether the bomb would work.
Alfred Nobel who is credited with the Nobel Peace Prize also invented dynamite. Ironic right?
Nolan did an amazing job adapting his story. Of course, the actors and staff too. Great & haunting movie.
Especially Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey JR has given brilliant performance though the whole cast has given their best but these two stood out in their roles
Not really. It's too long. Very unnecessary
@@anujoseph_10the movie being long doesn't make it not good, you just have a tik tok attention span
@@soybeanis3035 typical pseudo intellectual Nolan fanboi 🤡
There are far better documentaries on Oppenheimer on youtube and nolan's one has nothing on them. Also the explosion scene was underwhelming. Should've used CGI

"Both the man of science and the man of action live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it." - J. Robert Oppenheimer
Cillian Murphy nailed the facial expressions he was born for this role
Cillian Murphy is a real genius.It’s always pleasure to see him in great movies
The American media have always disrespected Murphy. His eventual win in the Oscars will slap those Emmy higher-ups
And he looks like the real person
@@Jaime.LannisterHe couldn't give a shite, not o fiddlers about an Oscar, a pretentious, back slapping club of mostly weirdos.
@@Jaime.Lannisterthat’s because the Emmys and Oscars are a rigged system for all the “cool kids” … it’s such a high school prom party. Cillian is an amazing actor, most of us in the west knows this, hence why he’s gotten roles in some of the biggest movies here in the west.
I love Cillian Murphey in Peaky Blinders.
The story of Robert Oppenheimer is a lesson on morality and that patriotism sometimes isn't sometimes all its cracked up to be, and that what you end living with might not be as glorious as it seems.
What happened to him was an absolute disgrace for the scientific community. And teller rightfully deserved being black listed and shunned by everyone until the end of his life for what he did.
My grandfather worked for Sandia in the 60's and met Oppenheimer when he was doing the lectures in the universities.
He told me he could tell Oppenheimer was intensely depressed and hadn't recovered from the security hearings much at all.
Worse still it all felt that the community n the president gaslighting him for his love his country for refusing to build another bomb its such a bullock
The actor who played Teller said he was doing research on him for the role. I guess years later after the hearings and Kennedy invited them to the White House, when he stuck his hand out, Kitty didn’t do it back. She never forgot his betrayal. I guess he went home and cried. Good on her for that. She basically couldn’t do anything about it, and seeing her husband deteriorate and see his life and friends betray you like that.
Such a sad thing that a brilliant mind like Oppenheimer went through so much pain and misery throughout his lifetime. I also loved the fact that he worked with several black physicists on the Manhattan Project. He seemed like a good man and deserves so much more credit to this day. Somebody give Cillian Murphy the Oscar please.

I felt overwhelmed with the CONSTANT talking.
@@Dinkelberg_ His film debut.
@@ghandimanWell, the vast majority of characters were scientists (most theoretical scientists), politicians, political activists, etc. The only main characters who didn’t fit into those categories were Matt Damon’s and Emily Blunt’s (and to a certain degree, Florence Pugh’s). People in those fields, especially considering the context of the topics in their scenes, do tend to do a lot of talking. It would be unrealistic if they didn’t, so also realistic for there to be so much in the movie.
I haven't seen this movie yet. I'm waiting for the crowds and hype to settle down, and the 3-hour run time might be something better beheld at home where I can pause to refill the popcorn bowl. That said, THANK YOU for some really great Oppie videos because I'm using UA-cam's Manhattan Project content as a primer. The best way to take in historic movies like this is with an understanding of what's true vs what's an artistic decision to skew the facts.
Cillian murphy and Robert Downey Junior best acting i have seen in my whole life.
You've not seen many movies then.
Cillian Murphy nailed the facial expressions he was born for this role. Cillian Murphy nailed the facial expressions he was born for this role.
The exchange between Oppenheimer and President Trumann is priceless for the guilt and hypocrisy.
O: "Mr President, I feel I have blood on my hands."
T: “Blood on his hands??? Damn it, he hasn’t half as much blood on his hands as I have. You just don’t go around bellyaching about it.”
Truman had personal blood on his hands.. It's a lot different.. Truman was an officer on the frontlines in WWI in 1918. He lead some crazy charges and brave military actions during campaigns in Germany and France. As President, he was calling the shots in all the war decisions as commander in chief. So he was correct in saying that Oppenheimer didn't have jack on what blood was on him.
The way Truman treated Oppenheimer alone should leave Truman disgraced and dishonored
Fact: Legendary voice actor Alan Oppenheimer (Skeletor from the original He-Man cartoon) is the third cousin of J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Alan was a good character actor.
On television a lot during 70s-80s
I honestly didn't know about Oppenheimer until the Epic Rap Battles of History "Thanos vs. Oppenheimer" Now I am discovering who he was, and I find it fascinating.
He was an interesting man who was subjected to unfair treatment because of his associates ties to communism.
Wow finding a man fascinating that was a murderer and tried to poison people? No wonder this society is so f$ed up. You will make any excuse for how evil your people are.
All I can think about Is the ERB episode with him vs thanos.
And Oppenheimer won
Oppenheimer vs thanos. began
Oppenheimer destroyed Fortnite’s dopest dancer
*searches for video*
Huh?
It's crazy how much Cillian Murphy looks like him too...
Joe is wrong about his explanation of road rage. It's because we are all supposed to follow the rules of the road and we feel safe in our car. Feeling safe makes us feel empowered and entitled. That's where the rage comes from.
So he was already a potential murderer in his youth, but escaped judgement because the apple was not eaten, and the whole thing was brushed under the rug? How such a small detail changed the course of history. Had Hitler been accepted in Arts school, WW2 could have been avoided. Had Oppenheimer been tried for attempted murder, maybe we never would have gotten so far with nuclear weapons?
I don't have a doubt Cillian will be excellent in his role. He always is. What a great actor.
I don't know if I agree with you that had Oppenheimer been tried for attempted murder, the AB wouldn't have come into fruition. Others would have come up with something similar I'm guessing.
Oppenheimer was just the tip of the iceberg of the scientists involved. Oliphant, Frisch and Peierls and the MAUD Committee were the real catalyst for the Manhattan Project. No doubt they will be left out of this 'story'.
There will be another scientist that will make the bomb, but i agree on Hitler part.
Not being accepted into art school wasn’t the primary reason hitler became hitler. He was already a trouble person at a young age due to an abusive father. There are a ton of other factors that play into this. The world isn’t as black or white as you think it is. Do some research and you will find out.
Would the development of nuclear weapons be a bad thing? If we didn’t have the scientists producing them during the time of war, Germany would have had the first nuclear weapon and the United States, along with its allies, would have been under their mercy. Hitler would have won.
this is semi like what happened to the Chernobyl Scientits, the main guy was basically used as a scapegoat when he exposed, and opposed them on their views with nuclear power. He committed suicide to make sure they wouldnt silence him! these are brave men who gave their life and knowledge for their countires advance.
Watching Oppenheimer on July 19, 12pm (Philippine Standard Time). Can't wait!
I am hoping that this movie will win for Best Picture at next year Oscars.
They will never give Nolan that opportunity. I hope Cillian gets a nod.

The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds . the pessimist fears it is true. ~ J Robert Oppenheimer🙂
I actually purchased an advanced movie E-ticket to see the 2023 Oppenheimer movie once to better learn more about it and how the guy ultimately came to be known as “the father of the atomic bomb” during World War II
Say what you will about Oppenheimer, he was a vocal critic of the Nazis and their anti-Jewish policies.
He wasn’t the only one.
There were millions of people that were against Nazis

"I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds."
I always though that Oppenheimer is like a dark volatile destructive Sheldon.
Well Sheldon did name a cat after him.
Imagine a time when it all began
In the dying days of a war
A weapon that would settle the score
Whoever found it first
Would be sure to do their worst
They always had before
Imagine a man where it all began
A scientist pacing the floor
In each nation, always eager to explore
To build the best big stick
To turn the winning trick
But this was something more
The big bang took and shook the world
Shot down the rising sun
The end was begun, it would hit everyone
When the chain reaction was done
Quoting the manhattan project song by rush sums it up
im so glad Nolan and murphy made this real scientist now a household name
A film like this is analogous to a large, intricate hieroglyphic description of an epic historical event/person expertly carved into an ancient Egyptian temple wall. It elaborately describes a great historical event to the masses with a larger-than-life character manipulating the world to suit his needs, with all the pomp and embellishment that the hieroglyphics would illustrate. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
Based on Nolan's movie, I think he is a genius who has a blessing for his genius brand but also some kind like a curse because his brain never stop thinking and working. Which make him maybe looks weird and complex. But still have his humanity within him, although he can't do anything to stop what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
They attacked the US, unprovoked. I'm not saying it's ok by any means. However, the USA wasn't wanting to be in the war and Japan attacked after having a "peace" meeting. The leader in Japan was flying home after meeting with FDR, knowing they'd be attacking in under 24 hours. Japan also would not surrender...we have a 48 hr warning. Again, not ok but wtf could we do
Complex is best definition of all of this. Of most things
We’ve already compromised so many of our beliefs for this war, You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” .....Harvey Dent in the Dark Knight II.
I am just so happy for Cillian Murphy and the deserved acclaim he is getting. I was first introduced to him in Batman Begins where he almost stole the movie as Crane/Scarecrow. I watched several of his early movies including Disco Pigs and Intermission and I knew this was a guy to watch. I know it's early but I hope he wins the Oscar.
Same here bro, I’ve alway loved his work and the fact that he’s never been nominated for an Oscar is crazy. He deserves the Oscar for this though. I also first saw him Batman Begins as well.
ironically he is the man who brought destruction and peace all together
He had a role to play in the human history and he played it damn well.
Or horribly.
Doesn’t make sense
@@horaciocapanelli-soto4710 Few things we learn with experience. One of them is a situation where everybody will remember you as a villain but you still take it for the greater good.
Your attempt at philosophising him is well and truly a sad one. Comic book similaes are far kids. Look at pictures from Nagasaki or Hiroshima, then revisit that comment.
@@EMMYK1916 The axis could have done far more damage if they could have device the bomb before him.
Let me just say... The movie had me utterly speechless tonight. It was... Phenomenal. My God, was it phenomenal...
Please watch it in theaters. It'll leave you with a jaw-dropping experience.
Can't wait to see the new Film!!!
I cant wait to see "Oppenheimer"!
Some people just wanna watch the world burn. -Alfred, Dark Knight
Underrated comment
The Manhattan project with John Lithgow is an excellent retelling of Oppenheimer's. Also the young actor (forgot his name) who builds a small bomb of his own to explore his own level of genius.
Now I know why he was emotionless recounting reactions by others about the bomb
What are talking about emotionalless the dude was on verge crying on live TV 😂😂.
@@moeezawan2329 that’s your interpretation. Read about him. If you want to learn something don’t use Wikipedia. He tried to kill a couple of people and tried suicide a couple of times. That tells me he isn’t that concerned with humanity or his own actions
@@debbylou5729it’s a bias answer anyways……
J. Robert Oppenheimer was the OG Shedon Cooper.
Without the humor, because real life is not a comedy unfortunately.
Tries to kill best friend: he good
Tries to kill tutor: he good
Creates a weapon that kills thousands of civilians: he good
Might be a russian spy: time to get him boys
...😑
Oppenheimer looks very similer to Sheldon Cooper
the more i learn about this man, the more suspicious i become
Opp's security clearance committee was headed by a guy who hated Opp for embarrassing him years earlier. Played in movie by RDJ.
Oh thanks for the information ❤❤❤
Very interesting
I hope the USS Indianapolis gets mentioned in the movie. That ship alone played a major role in the delivery of the Hiroshima bomb.
well, it's a movie about Oppenheimer, a biopic. It's not a movie that broadly covers all aspects of the atomic bomb during ww2. I wouldnt expect them to talk about CA-35. Did you see the movie about the Indianapolis? The one with Nicolas Cage? No mention of Oppenheimer in it. They are two completely different stories with one loose thread connecting them.
No, it does not. The movie is about Oppenheimer, and very little about dropping the bomb or the aftermath.
I just watched a video from Veritasium and seach more about Oppenheimer. And now I'm waiting for the release date of the movie
Oppenheimer literally tried to poison / kill his tutor. He strangled his best friend. His career should have ended there.
I know right, it's as if depression was an excuse for him trying to kill. He genuinely seemed to have a mental problems. But he did not seem that evil.
Thank god it didn’t
@@ItssTurfno kidding.
Btw. Lamest. Handle. Ever.
boohoo
I wonder if they are releasing this in Japan
Oppenheimer quoted Bhagavath geetha.thats what all I know.😮
Iconic
Even at the age of 62, J Robert Oppenheimer looked like he was 85 or 86.
He aged like spoiled goat milk.
10:00 “pass the lighter”
Oppenheimer looks scary!
he tried to suffocate his friend, and poison his physics tutor!
A very complex character. Looks like he was never happy. If you contributed to killing of one innocent life, you will regret your whole life. What about hundreds of thousands of innocent lifes, unimaginable agony to your soul.
I kinda thought people like Oppenheimer always had a little bit of a God Complex. Hell of a Legacy to leave behind. ☢️☮️
This comment is beyond disgusting. Don't compare this evil man to God.
After watching this movie, are we supposed to appreciate or condemn Oppenheimer? He clearly had murderous tendencies, he was a womanizer, horrible parent, had a God complex and played a huge role in creating a bomb that killed thousands of innocent people.
Both. Oppenheimer was a complex, complicated person whose main role in world history was, in itself, a vessel of the best and worst of human accomplishment.
japan had it coming
@@gustavosorto4334 what the hell is wrong with you
Neither or both. You don’t get to pick and choose the aspects of a person.
Now I am become death. Destroyer of worlds.
The way Truman treated him should have left him disgraced dishonored and ashamed.
Robert Oppenheimer had to hold that burden after the murdering of killing hundreds of innocent, Japanese civilians, families, and children in which that he will never forgive himself for, but hopefully he will now find peace and forgiveness for what he is done
Abolish Nuclear Weapons!
You are here to not look uncultured before watching the movie. High 5 ✋️
That’s very cocky of Truman because he may have given the order but Opp created it
But he wasn’t wrong. Oppenheimer’s name is known because of the bomb, Time magazine, scientific papers, and history books, but he might not be known at all if the bomb hadn’t worked; and the only way anyone in the world outside of the Manhattan Project knew that it worked was Truman ordering two bombs to be dropped on two cities in Japan. So cocky, sure, but not inaccurate.
And he will played by Thomas Shelby… groovy!
Cillian Murphy
based off what I know about the sheer volume and massive scale of the logistics to make an atomic bomb I estimate that the statistical chances that the soviets independently developed their own so shortly after america to be about a billion to one.
most likely you'd have to have the exact same core team of people in charge of both projects for such an identical feat to be achieved on two different sides of the world so shortly one after another.
They had spies and shit
5:05 Jean!
Mahattan tv series was there before Oppenheimer
the last sentence: he wasn't in any sense at peace with himself describe his whole purpose of life when he admitted that he had done super wrong.
What Truman said about him😂
He was judged to hard. He was a used people to take on their guilt.
12:05 was the video recorded last year? Otherwise why say 2023 and not "this year"?

Now the quote from the
Bhagavad Gita ,
Makes even more sense
☢️☢️☢️
if only japan just sat down
Used his brilliance to create weapons which could/did kill people. The man was a monster. There is no winner in war and no deterrent either. Odious man
So sad that such a brilliant man was overtaken by cigarettes…62 is incredibly young. Happened to Walt Disney, too. I hate cigarettes.
It wasnt "left wing" it was "communist" ideological support of Russia.
Who exactly does Roosevelt come to a point where he calls for the creation of something that doesn't exist and no one has ever seen? I'm failing to understand how Roosevelt could have been knowledgeable on a non existent technology.
The poisoned apple story is much more interesting in real life. They made it so silly in the movie.
Remember all truly smart people are a little weird
Could Oppenheimer be saten incarnate.
Einstein created the formula dr Oppenheimer crack the code and make the atomic bomb on the Manhattan project
this is a sad story
What a maniac
🌠
Just saying. That photo of Oppenheimer as a child standing next to his dad. Pretty sure his dad has been reincarnated into Casey Affleck. Pause at 1:26 mins in. Try deny me 😎
I was thinking a bit of Sacha Baron Cohen actually
I'm posible que no me equivoqué es la misma de las
"a tryst in Mexico"? What even is a 'tryst'?
First and foremost i thought the 2023 film was great. I have such mixed feelings on oppenheimer. Great admiration and respect for the work hes created and his contributions. But its hard to fully respect a man who tried poisoning his Professor and had an affair(s) while married
Real life mad poser boy spotted @ 0:48
woah
Once the event happened! Politicians fought on gaining their own individual power! Yes the man was flawed! But he saw every as equal!
There is a reason they picked an unstable man to lead this project
He was needed greatly
Damn spoilers for the movie
It’s always a German…….
they are the smartest in science and technology.
No matter how intelligent boys take longer to grow up. Being from a protective background middle class back ground would have held him back. The poison apple and the lack of understanding about the damage of the a bomb makes me feel he lacked feelings of humanity.
The story is sad y'all saying why he do it but guess what you think he had a choice when our precious government is involved.
So... How did the rest of the world get the receipe to how to make an Atom bomb too? Or did they each had their own Oppenheimer?
Watch Oppenheimer. There were spies within the testing group at los alamos. Germany was also ahead during the earlier stages of creating a nuclear bomb bc they had better physicists and more time to develop it
