Review of Oppenheimer (2023) by J1Train — 25 Jul 2023
This movie is about a security clearance hearing, communism and men betraying each other more than it is about the moral and ethical quandaries of making an A-bomb during war, or the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
There are great performances here, as well as several arresting images and impressive sequences of editing, particularly during the Trinity test and when Oppenheimer addresses a rabid crowd of patriots after the bombings.
But this viewer was left with an overwhelming and frustrating sense that the real story was ignored.
