It doesn't. I watched it today. It's all Nolan's cinematics, no substance. Perhaps because the guy behind Inception, Tenet, Interstellar isn't the guy to make a down-to-Earth period piece about Oppenheimer.
Matt Damon is awful in it. Kenneth Branagh was shit. Emily Blunt overacted. Robert Downey Jr. nailed his role, as always.
It was just a carousel of famous names and events. The movie rushes you to the end and then holds you there, listening to testimony.
Did Nolan try to "save" Oppenheimer? Delusions of grandeur. Maybe Nolan is in fact perfect to make it, I bet he thought "oi! this bloke is me!" while researching for the movie.
I have never walked out of a movie before, but walked away 10 mins earlier because I really had to piss and couldn't bear watching this migraine inducing shit anymore. I heard 2 morons gasp behind me because I walked away
never
same as any other movie centered around american politics and backroom agendas >aaaahhh help everything is moronic and everyones paranoid >HELP IM moronic AND PARANOID >AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA COMMUNISTS AND NAZIS >you have no rights in this third world dystopia (america) >oh man this was moronic and paranoid hahaha muh guns
minor entertainment value in watching RDJ play a man whose entire character arc is being buttblasted about Thomas Edison not returning his highfive and blaming a israelite
Nah, Oppenheimer had it coming. He fancied Los Alamos his own private little kingdom where he reigned supreme only to be harshly reminded of who he actually worked for and what the bombs where for in the first place.

>Did Nolan try to "save" Oppenheimer? Delusions of grandeur
The most interesting thing about Nolan films is all the projection it brings out in midwits.
I actually liked it. However, I have no idea how so many normalgays could sit through 3 hours of it when the only scientist they probably recognized is Einstein. I liked Strauss (RDJ's character) as well, his final rant is the personification of all the Cinemaphile memes about Oppenheimer.
I also noticed one historical inaccuracy - an aged Lawrence (Josh Hartnett's character) is shown to be present when Oppenheimer is awarded by LBJ in the white house, when in reality Lawrence died in 1958.
I didn't know anything about science and the history around this so I'll say I watched it as a regular normalgay so here's my opinion:
Most of the time I didn't know what the hell was happening. The only character I recognized was Einstein. Lots of politics shit. THREE FRICKING HOURS. Robert Downey Jr. is a terrible actor. I don't know man, maybe I'm just too stupid to understand "kino". But I didn't enjoy it.
>Most of the time I didn't know what the hell was happening.
That's not a you thing. The film was edited atrociously, purposely jumping between timelines to obfuscate the story's nonsensical progression.
It's a film where the characters are constantly spewing exposition about other characters who were introduced for 5 seconds and all look identical, about their antics doing nothing interesting.
It's the definition of "just turn your brain off" because there's very little to follow unless you know the whole story in great depth prior to watching the film. So they want you to just sit back, enjoy the sound and visuals, gaze at Florence's Pughs, and wonder if you'd look cool if you started smoking and wearing a fedora.
Nuclear weapons are actually not that effective. Most of the energy released is heat. Nagasaki and Hiroshima looked so bad because the Japanese built things out of wood and paper. It’s why the neutron bomb was invented, to cook dudes alive with radiation inside their tanks. It’s a terror weapon, whose destructive capability was deliberately overhyped by the scientists who made it so that politicians would be more reluctant to ever use them.
Oppenheimer was a boring c**t who didn't deserve a biopic about him; the story of the Manhattan Project absolutely overshadows him and everything else in the film, it's the only interesting part. I did not give a single shit about his petty personal "I'm not a Communist" battle that the film gives like 60% of its screen time to.
He hecking made a town. So film making. So set design. I love how the movie basically recaps the entire story every 5 minutes so I don't forget what it's about.
For the extent that all you gays claim to be 'movie buffs' not one of you have mentioned the major flaw of this movie which is that the flipflopping back and forth in time destroys all forward momentum of the movie and is why it's terrible to watch, not the other pandering shit (although it didn't help)
It's definitely possible that 95% of the audience has not seen an atomic bomb test and just lapped up this Mythbusters shit and passed the word along because the hecking Barbenheimer meme.
kek look at the smoke contrails racing downward. How is that atomic at all? They should've just asked the US government for some 70mm film scan of an atomic test they did.
I walked out of the theater after 40-50 minutes. I got to this part: >Oppenheimer: There's only one man I can trust to look over these calculations. >Other guy: You don't mean... >Oppenheimer smiles >Cut to Einstein
Probably the only time I walked out of a movie I paid for. I didn't hate it, but I just figured I had better things to do with my weekend. It felt inferior to the Oppenheimer wikipedia article.
I thought the become death line would come at a really dramatic point of the movie, not while he's literally banging that gross b***h with the brown small nipples
Kind of? I mean the film had nothing else going for it and Pugh walks the red carpet in see-through dresses pretty constantly. So this was as good a time as any to have a nude for-the-sake-of-it series of scenes with her.
I watched this last night. They’re both pretty similar but picrel made Leslie groves out to be more the bad guy. >japan was on the verge of surrender when we nuked them
I don’t believe that for a second.
Because he's a hack and gets increasingly high on his own mythos with every release cycle. Look at this fricking fireball jerking, this is definitely a balloon or something. That'll be $20 a ticket, please.
Fellating Nolan instead of calling out when he shits the bed has only made him a worse director over the years. There was a time when I thought he had a genuine masterpiece waiting in him.
The Prestige is the closest Nolan has ever gotten (or will get) to a masterpiece and it's because it was based on a book he didn't write.
If Nolan would put his ego to one side and stop trying to write (because his writing is fricking terrible), he could probably make a true masterpiece. But the studios keep giving him money, and his midwit audience of morons keep paying to see his slop, so the cycle continues.
It doesn't, it is a massive waste of time. Imagine being the sound editor, having to put in all of that growing tempo and loud music, just for two people talking to each other and nothing else is happening. The guy next to me in the theater fell asleep and my friend almost did until I shook him. I should have just let him sleep too
Rolled my eyes several times but overall a decent flick. Some groaners that stand out: >Florence Pugh making him read the "I am become death" line from the Gita while they have sex >many lines of dialogue that are a little too witty for their own good to the point that it becomes predictable and corny >Einstein and Bohr are filmed with too much reverence to the extent that they dont feel like real people. You'd think the cameraman was filming Jesus Christ himself the way the film treats these characters. >many pointless scenes of characters kvetching, OPPENHEIMER WAS israeli, REMEMBER? >the one hundred percent unironic superhero suit up scene where Oppenheimer puts on the hat, coat, and pipe at Los Alamos. Genuinely laughable.
They don't show it. But it is mentioned, yes.
The film is pretty autistic in its dedication to being historically accurate at the cost of telling a cohesive story
This is exactly the kind of biopic ADHD sufferers would be able to stomach. It has constant explanatory cuts to anything and everything that might require the least bit of viewer attention to remember or visualize.
Put your phone down mongboy.
at 7mins when the montage starts
First film i walked away from in a while.
Sometimes directors need people to rein them in. This film is a great example of that.
Dont waste your time
>walking away from a torrent

It does not. Most overrated crap i have ever watched.
It doesn't just skip to the nuke scene (really underwhelming) and Truman scene.
I'm surprised they left the Truman part in the movie, because it actually BTFOs the entire premise of the film.
I saw it as a man with a conscience getting obliterated by a narcissist. Great acting
Nah, Oppenheimer had it coming. He fancied Los Alamos his own private little kingdom where he reigned supreme only to be harshly reminded of who he actually worked for and what the bombs where for in the first place.
Movie was overhyped, I remember seeing some press video with the actors all saying how amazed they were and the performances were incredible.
It was just average
the 1st second

Gary Oldman is totally under-utilised as Truman, also. Nolan is a hack.
>Did Nolan try to "save" Oppenheimer? Delusions of grandeur

He tried to redeem Oppenheimer, but made him look like a fricking moron.
Here.

opening is the best part
when he becomes death

Most of the time I didn't know what the hell was happening. The only character I recognized was Einstein. Lots of politics shit. THREE FRICKING HOURS. Robert Downey Jr. is a terrible actor. I don't know man, maybe I'm just too stupid to understand "kino". But I didn't enjoy it.

Nuclear weapons did no more damage than conventional fire bombs they're the most overrated bullshit ever it's the boogeyman
This. 'This will change war forever'. Oh really? Seems kinda the same to me.
Nuclear weapons are actually not that effective. Most of the energy released is heat. Nagasaki and Hiroshima looked so bad because the Japanese built things out of wood and paper. It’s why the neutron bomb was invented, to cook dudes alive with radiation inside their tanks. It’s a terror weapon, whose destructive capability was deliberately overhyped by the scientists who made it so that politicians would be more reluctant to ever use them.
Open Oppenheimer was a evil piece of shit that wanted to literally poison 80 million people in Germany he wanted to complete genocide
good. frick germany, the migrant worshiping c**ts.
He didn't want to do it in post-2014 Germany, but in white ethnostate-Germany of the 1940s. So your criticism is unfounded.
germany never changes. power hungry c**ts. frick em
>t. butthurt Polack/Frog/Belgian/Arab/Black person
Forgot "j*w"
>It's not us that's wrong, it's the rest of the world!
Typical g*rm megalomania.
>I'm still Jackie.
That's the best part. The rest of the movie is garbage.
Oppenheimer was a boring c**t who didn't deserve a biopic about him; the story of the Manhattan Project absolutely overshadows him and everything else in the film, it's the only interesting part. I did not give a single shit about his petty personal "I'm not a Communist" battle that the film gives like 60% of its screen time to.
"Petty"
The parts about science and the bomb were decent, but that's like 1/3 of the movie.
The politics garbage could have been done in 10 minutes.
>communism bad
Saved you 3 hours
>thread exposes all the unthinking Cinemaphile plebeians
It's easily Nolan's one true masterpiece.
Is this the moron containment thread?
Appears to be the case. Archived for posterity.
Nolan's not going to have sex with you.
It's dumber than Sharknado.
As I wrote that the guy said to Matt Damon that our only hope is the antisemitism of Hitler.
Bummed Von Neuman didn’t get a cameo appearance
Why would a Seinfeld character be in this movie??
about 180 mins and 9s in
Guys…. What if, now hear me out, what if… Seinfeld but in 1940’s Los Alamos
4 minutes and 10 seconds in. Hang in there, king.
He hecking made a town. So film making. So set design. I love how the movie basically recaps the entire story every 5 minutes so I don't forget what it's about.
When you get the kind of cinematic bukkake that Michael Bay would build up to in two minutes instead of two hours..
For the extent that all you gays claim to be 'movie buffs' not one of you have mentioned the major flaw of this movie which is that the flipflopping back and forth in time destroys all forward momentum of the movie and is why it's terrible to watch, not the other pandering shit (although it didn't help)
guys its a 8.5 on imdb and every normie loved it
are you saying everyone is wrong but you neets?
It's definitely possible that 95% of the audience has not seen an atomic bomb test and just lapped up this Mythbusters shit and passed the word along because the hecking Barbenheimer meme.
???????????
kek look at the smoke contrails racing downward. How is that atomic at all? They should've just asked the US government for some 70mm film scan of an atomic test they did.
>posted 3 hours ago
how was it anon
was OK
got miles better the more Downey Jr was in it.
I walked out of the theater after 40-50 minutes. I got to this part:

You missed the best line at the end:
>there's one guy, he might give a lot of pushback
>name's Kennedy... John F Kennedy
Not kidding, either.
Sex scene is so deep and symbolic. It symbolizes that they had sex.
I thought the become death line would come at a really dramatic point of the movie, not while he's literally banging that gross b***h with the brown small nipples
>they went for an R rating just to show miss piggy's breasts
Was it worth it?
Kind of? I mean the film had nothing else going for it and Pugh walks the red carpet in see-through dresses pretty constantly. So this was as good a time as any to have a nude for-the-sake-of-it series of scenes with her.
>wasting time watching nolanslop
heh
The bomb porn and synth music is ok.
Dont miss the post credit scene, zoomer
Stick at it.
the whole premise of the film is reliant on the fact that openheimer-style called Robert Downie israelite-nier a loley shoe salesman
lol
israelite vs israelite grudge led to entire thing
??????????
What the frick was Nolan thinking?
That looks pathetic holy frick
Dare I say, Nolan subverted my expectations with this one
I watched this last night. They’re both pretty similar but picrel made Leslie groves out to be more the bad guy.
>japan was on the verge of surrender when we nuked them
I don’t believe that for a second.
how? The film came out in summer. Surely it isn't still playing in theatres
why was Nolan so against CGI in this when interstellar, inception, and tenet all had tons of CGI and looked visually spectacular?
Because he's a hack and gets increasingly high on his own mythos with every release cycle. Look at this fricking fireball jerking, this is definitely a balloon or something. That'll be $20 a ticket, please.
kek going back to his roots. That's the same technique he used in that bug short
Praise the Sun.
This board has gone to the dogs

>and then the israelites did israeli stuff for 2 hours
bravo
>when does it get good?
Never. The first 4 minutes is unironically the best part of the film. It just progressively subsequently gets worse.
Rolled my eyes several times but overall a decent flick. Some groaners that stand out:
>Florence Pugh making him read the "I am become death" line from the Gita while they have sex
>many lines of dialogue that are a little too witty for their own good to the point that it becomes predictable and corny
>Einstein and Bohr are filmed with too much reverence to the extent that they dont feel like real people. You'd think the cameraman was filming Jesus Christ himself the way the film treats these characters.
>many pointless scenes of characters kvetching, OPPENHEIMER WAS israeli, REMEMBER?
>the one hundred percent unironic superhero suit up scene where Oppenheimer puts on the hat, coat, and pipe at Los Alamos. Genuinely laughable.
Look how they massacred my girl
she was so hot in Devil wears prada
Why do 99% of actresses insist upon injecting horrible shit into their faces?
that's just her aging. It has been almost 10 years between these two pics.
Yeah, no. She took the call.
Do they show him fricking married women, including his best friend's?
They don't show it. But it is mentioned, yes.
The film is pretty autistic in its dedication to being historically accurate at the cost of telling a cohesive story
I was honestly surprised they included that Feynman looked at the bomb through the windshield.
Dark Knight and Inception gave it a good shot, but this was the only film of his you could call a classic.
You're nuts, this is his worst movie.
I wish Nolan focuses on the Manhattan project and not the guy
That's only because you're gay.
the movie is called OPPENHEIMER
you're just a ADHD brain fried zoomie
This is exactly the kind of biopic ADHD sufferers would be able to stomach. It has constant explanatory cuts to anything and everything that might require the least bit of viewer attention to remember or visualize.
Sounds like Shin Godzilla
When it ends, fricking finally.
The bomb test should have been the last thing in the movie. Everything after that went on WAY too long and fricking DRAGGED, Jesus Christ.
