Review of Oppenheimer (2023) by Star_G19 — 05 Aug 2023

This was a very powerful film, arguably one of the most important messages ever made for any movie. The film also had a very powerful anti-Nationalist scene later on in the bleachers after the test bomb was detonated, it could be viewed as a warning, against what the power of the Atomic bomb could have done to America. It isn't really a time to be gloating about the power we used, but rather the implications of the inevitable arms race that resulted.

The film was powerful because it presents events that occurred in history 'as is', but also looks to the future- with a grim warning. All too often we have forgotten the dangers of what the post WWII Cold War era brought to the world in today's world 2023, but the danger is as real and present as it ever was now, as it was then. And the movie does such a excellent job showcasing that danger with a powerful and everlasting message.

The message and themes of Oppenheimer will stay with you long after the credits roll. It is a beautiful and dark film. But one for the ages. With a director that is better than 99% of the rest of what comes out of Hollywood, one of the last true great Hollywood Directors to make a movie about so important of a Historical character and event in history.

Go see this movie, it will be perhaps one of the most important ones you will have ever seen.
