How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A towering examination of a brilliant man's ascent and reckoning, Nolan interweaves interrogation and memory to build inexorable tension around the moral weight of scientific creation. It's a three-hour meditation on the price of progress, both personal and historical.

"Now i have become death...destroyer of worlds"
Openheimer is the best biopic ever made so far and it will be hard to actually top this one,cillian murphy as robert j. Oppenheimer is at the core of this movie and he gives such an excellent performances allong with the rest of the cast.
For a 3 hour long movie this felt like a quick 2 hour movie but honestly if i could i would let it never end.
Every scene is rich,every line delivered is excellent,every shot looks amazing.
The first time a bomb went off in the movie....it was amazing,the tension felt real when the countdown went from 60 to zero.
Also for some reason the sex scenes people complained about and idk why lol.
The pacing is excellent for a 3 hour long film,it didn't go on longer then it needed to be.
I have a complicated relationship with nolan movies from disliking the beloved the dark night and its other two films,disliking tenet and how my opinion on dunkirk has soured over time.
I do like memento but thats the only other movie i have seen of his that i really like besides this one.
Oppenheimer is genuine work of art and the reason why im still excited for future nolan movies,if they are more like this then im ready like spongebob for his work
The next epic rap battle:
Allan vs an atomic bomb
I would have watched this way sooner if I knew Josh Hartnett was in it and a little soone if I knew Olivia Thirlby was in it.
The first two hours were pretty boring. I know this is everyone's favorite thing ever, and I can see why; it's just not for me. The last hour was more interesting, from the test bomb through the end. Emily Blunt's interrogation scene was good. Ultimately I'll just never watch it again.
