I’m a theoretical physicist and this scene was brilliantly able to articulate the state when you’re in a sense of wonder, not only about the universe but about the internal workings of the universe. Amazing !
I became so obsessed with this movie and story that I read the whole 700 page biography it's based on and it definitely makes it justice. Oppenheimer's life was insane, and Nolan did such a fantastic job, as well as the whole cast, particularly Cillian Murphy (and Emily Blunt). Great video. Subscribed!
I did the same. Both book and film hugely worth it. The film is an astounding cinematic achievement. Adore it. Have watched it several times already and will do again. Cheers from Melbourne ❣️
I saw the movie 6 times in theaters and this scene was a major reason why I kept going back. I would think about it over and over and eventually cave and go see it again. Couldn't agree with you more.
As much as I understood, he threw the glasses because with every addition of breakable stuff in a certain area, the potential interaction between pieces increases. Bit of a foreshadowing towards "critical mass".
My favorite scene too...The can you hear the music Robert? still gives me chills every time and "Can you hear the music?" is still the most played song in my Spotify!
This was by far my favorite scene in the movie too! I actually cried at the crescendo of the montage the first time I saw it in theaters, and I had no idea why. It’s just so powerful, and as you said, it’s the perfect setup and the perfect introduction to the mind of young Oppenheimer - and the montage together with the frankly insane piece by Göransson carries just as much wonder, as it does dread
Excellent work, you really nailed it! This is exactly how I felt when watching Oppenheimer for the first time. This scene was the exact moment that I knew this was going to be a life-changing movie (Just like the bank heist scene in The Dark Knight almost exactly 15 years before this from Nolan as well). This montage in particular, is such a perfect example of why film can still be such an extraordinary medium even today. Acting, lighting, movement, music, sound, texture, rhythm of cuts, beautiful locations, all working together to evoke a sense of wonder, scale, and awe like I've never felt before. I go back to this scene for my own inspiration and judging from other comments I'm not the only one. Cheers!
I had to sit in the car for a solid 20 mins I was that shaken and emotionally moved by the movie. No film had ever put me in such a state. I knew I had witnessed one of the greatest cinematic achievements in recent history
Oppenheimer is in my Top 10 all time films, not because it’s better than most (it’s not, there’s way too many classics to ever say what’s good or what’s not) but because I didn’t know much, if any, about Oppenheimer. Nolan was able to take a 700(?) page book about a very interesting story but let’s be honest, it’s extremely dry on the surface. The life of a scientist who ends up infamous because of his deadly creation. He captivates you from the very first scene of the film and doesn’t let you go until 3 hours have gone by. It feels so fast, yet was jam packed with so much information that it was overwhelming. It was a visual experience just as much as an auditory one. You can’t look away, let alone believe this story but it’s all fact (with a few liberties for storytelling purposes). It has such rewatch value because everytime you watch it you walk away with something new. The soundtrack is the strongest aspect of the entire film and carries you through dread and wonder like no other score has in recent memory. I have a gripe with the actual depiction of the explosion but it’s a perfect film to me. Top to bottom.
Tough to pick a best scene in particular, because as you said, every second in the film is so important However, the last scene, starting with Einstein’s first line, gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. The dialogues, the actors’performances and the music get together show how dramatic the result is, and how betrayed he has been. Oppenheimer is a Pure Masterpiece
IFSTG this scene, I had this literal scene in my mind, i can go as far as to say this if i had the chance to watch only one scene for the rest of my life it would be this and OMFG the score!!! pure banger
Never has a movie captured my own personal wanderlust and maladaptive daydreaming like Oppenheimer did in that montage. Flashing imagery of the wonder of nature, the cosmos, the grand existential questions we all face behind the scenes. I dream often of what truly is, and this scene spoke to that part of me deeply. Like many others, I couldn’t help but cry when I first saw the scene.
Completely agree. my favorite scene by far was the Can You Hear the Music montage! 👍🏾 The movie was a little confusing for me on first viewing but that score stayed in my mind and kept drawing me back to the film.
I had the exact same reaction, I literally said “this is one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen” to my friend halfway through. I dont like to make statements like that even if it’s how I feel, to let the dust settle, but it was just so impressive in a way I had never felt before upon a first viewing in the theater. I also agree that this is the best scene! it makes me weep every time, it’s so overwhelming
Oppenheimer was epic honestly its been the biggest blockbuster post Pandemic outside of the Spiderverse movies that people kept talking and memeing about
I absolutely adore the scene where Kitty catches Robert hiding after learning of Jean's suicide, and she says to him: "you don't get to commit the sin and then expect us to feel sorry for you that it has consequences"...she's not just referring to Jean's death of course, but foreshadowing the guilt and responsibility Robert feels after the dropping of the bomb. Immaculate scripting and editing, not a single tiny loose thread in this film that doesn't weave in with everything else. If cinematic perfection exists it's right here! 😁❣️
watching this scene on the biggest IMAX screen in europe on the opening morning was something i’ll never forget in my life. the feeling i had was nothing i’ve ever felt before. what a scene.
It's probably lame but, the scene that stuck with me the most was the last. The message that we're still vulnerable to the unbelievable power of nuclear weapons and forever at the precipice of the end of the world.
best experience I've ever had in the cinema , one of the most "real" feeling movies, such a sad and crazy real story. Afterwards I read Oppies biography this year and it's almost 10x more deep with all the details and infos, but I felt more destroyed after the book than the movie... simply because all of it really happened.
Oppenheimer in 1570 IMAX on 1.43:1 aspect ratio, TRUE REALEST IMAX YOU CAN SEE IT IN NOW THAT was an movie watching experience of a life time, definitely my #1 theatrical experience in my life so far agree tho that musical montage of a scene seriously haunted me for a whole week after seeing it like THE SOUNDTRACK IN THIS MOVIE AAAAH
When I started studying quantum physics, I would stay awake for hours thinking about the sub-atomic world. Trying picture in my mind particles being in two different states at the same time.
The glass throwing scene is not really about what that reddit post says, though that may kind of thematically be it. What it really is about is that Oppie is using the glasses to represent atoms, and in breaking them he's "splitting the atoms" and the peices of glass represent the pieces of energy that radiate out in a nuclear bomb, hitting other atoms of fissionable material and causing them to break into pieces. He's testing how the nuclear bomb is going to work. Same with the bouncing ball, thinking about how the particles would bounce around in the bomb and hit whatever's around them, causing the chain reaction, etc.
The scene on which the film turns is very late in the film. In the Oval Office, Oppenheimer confesses to president Truman that he feels he has blood on his hands for the deaths in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Truman dismisses him, explains that he wasn't important enough to have blood on his hands. As president of the United States, he and he alone was responsible for those deaths. It might have meant very little to Truman, but to Oppenheimer, this was the heart of the Bhagavad Gita, in which Krishna explains to Arjuna that as long as he did his duty meticulously, no one could die in the war he was waging if the gods had not already ordained it.
6:55 It's a good point of view but I think of something else. The first atomic bomb worked under the idea that a neutron collides with a nucleus, which destroys part of the nucleus. The neutrons that were released from the nucleus by the collision collide with another nucleus and so on in a chain effect which causes the explosion. Of course, this is a simplification, I think that Oppenheimer perhaps saw the pieces of broken glass as scattered neutrons, Robert made the mental image of the atomic nuclei dissolving in a violent effect. Nuclear fission. I think of it this way under the idea that Robert is slowly arriving at the theory of the atomic bomb.
JFK also has a HUGE "name" cast list, and there's a good reason for it. There are SO MANY characters that it's hard to remember all their names - but you'll remember the actor. Example - what was the name of the character played by Rami Malik? Can't remember, can you. But you remember Rami Malik, and can name what HE did, even though you can't remember the character's name.
The victory speech was by far my least favorite part of the movie lol (but that's kind of the point of the scene). My favorite is the trinity test, second is the final scene of the film, but that "Can you hear the music" scene is equally as memorable. It's just like Nolan to make the first 10 minutes as equally powerful as the middle 10 and the last 10.
it was too long. I'd have preferred to see the film focused on the Manhattan Project. From the newspaper to the test. i had no interest in Strauss or the 'the trial', or communism, or his affairs.
That makes sense but the exposition is very much needed to get a full backround and story about Oppenheimer. You don’t want to just to the climax of any story without explaining everything about the characters and the backround to it, just in thise case it does seem long but it’s all interesting and needed.
I don’t know what drugs you were on when you watched this movie. It’s a good movie, but it ain’t that good! But I can see why some people are obsessed with it. They’re used to seeing such crap that when you see something of this caliber, it probably impresses you more than people who are used to movies of this caliber. Also, the audio in this movie was god-awful… Wall-to-wall music and half the time it’s burying the dialogue. But most of his movies, audio wise… are a mess. But glad you had fun. Now go watch “there will be blood “if you want to see a real masterpiece.
Do you think your opinion in movies is superior just because your favorite movie is a little more obscure? Twbb was good don’t get me wrong, but Lewis carries the movie with his performance. Story is alright and the characters are good, but damn it ain’t that special, I’ve watched it three times and I stand by it that twbb is overrated. Too bad if you didn’t enjoy Oppenheimer as much as other people did, but that’s no reason to shit on their opinions
“You can lift the stone without being ready for the snake that’s revealed” is my favorite line in the movie. Such a great film
I’m a theoretical physicist and this scene was brilliantly able to articulate the state when you’re in a sense of wonder, not only about the universe but about the internal workings of the universe. Amazing !
watched this movie 12 times at the theater in 2023, don’t regret a single sitting.
watched it thrice in iMAX sitting in the middle seat of the theatre
that's 36 entire hours
@@johannjomy8764 it is indeed
Oppenheimer is a three hour trailer for a movie you’re already watching.
I became so obsessed with this movie and story that I read the whole 700 page biography it's based on and it definitely makes it justice.

Same. Though the book is way more detailed, this is one of the rare instances when I liked the movie more.

But we need to remember that movies and books are different media, sharing some aspects but not all. 😉

As much as I understood, he threw the glasses because with every addition of breakable stuff in a certain area, the potential interaction between pieces increases. Bit of a foreshadowing towards "critical mass".
Additionally perhaps it parallels the very nature of nuclear fission, i.e. breaking apart large atoms into smaller constituent particles
My favorite scene too...The can you hear the music Robert? still gives me chills every time and "Can you hear the music?" is still the most played song in my Spotify!

The final scene left me without sleep for days
My favorite scene is the end when he's looking at the water and the ripple effect of the rain drops represents nukes going off.
A Masterpiece! Best movie ever!! Loved your video!!!❤️
Till now I thought Kurosawa's Ran was the best film ever. I agree with you, this is equal best if not THE best! Love from Melbourne ❣️
This was my favorite scene as well. So powerful that it lingers in your mind. Thank you!
IFSTG this scene, I had this literal scene in my mind, i can go as far as to say this if i had the chance to watch only one scene for the rest of my life it would be this and OMFG the score!!! pure banger
Now I can say my previous generation has Titanic
I have Openheimer
With great proud

Truly a masterpiece watched twice in IMAX and and that was experience was a lifetime ❤
Oppenheimer was epic honestly its been the biggest blockbuster post Pandemic outside of the Spiderverse movies that people kept talking and memeing about
Well said my friend. To me it’s the best movie of the decade so far.
Dune....
I watched at imax Melbourne 5 times plus the world premiere
beautifully way to put all the thoughts we have in mind but afraid to speak itself. CLASS!
Oppenheimer is definitely one of the best of all time for me as well

When I walked out of the theatre,I remember my legs were shaking and I couldn't walk properly.
It took me 1 cup of coffee to get myself stable.
0:17 is the most relatable thing i have heard
