Oppenheimer
Nolan's finest work, The best court-drama of all time, The best historical-biopic movie of all time, The best written-script ever, the most ambitious and well-made piece of cinema over the last decade, and yes, ONE OF THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME.
The visual? Astonishing, Magestic, and Realistic. Really really natural, immersive, captivating, and realistic. Every scenes were crafted meticulously with high-tech quality, leaving the movie as a whole is not less than a realistic and magnificent biopical and historical experience. It fascinates me a lot, really a lot. The fact that most of the explosion scenes were made without using CGI and only practical effects makes this movie even more than majestic. The final bomb explosion scene is a totally magnificent and realistic visual treatment and probably the best scenes of all time, visually. Nolan's distinctive and ambitious visual style in filmmaking is undoubtedly remarkable and nothing but an exceptional. The thing that makes the visual style even more interesting is that Nolan is 'trying' or 'experimenting' the style of surrealism, shown by several surrealist imagery that comes from Robert Oppenheimer's own fantasy. It's not Nolan that i know, and there's none of his movies that approach the theme of surrealism. But this movie is just combined biopic and historic aspects with surrealism imageries, which makes it a whole high-class visual style and cinematography in filmmaking history. That's not an exaggeration.
The scoring? Powerful, Hypnotizing, and Flawless. The usages of silences and intense fast-rhythm scores are just perfect and suits well with the scenes are trying to convey. The score is playing an important role in this movie. It's the main character who build and construct the whole majestic ambiences and tensions throughout the movie. It really makes this movie 'alive' and 'powerful'.
The plot and the script? Strong, Straightforward, and Bold. The movie's main power relies on the dialogs between the characters. It is the main soul of the movie. Like i said before, it's probably the best court-drama movie i've ever seen in my life. All the back-and-forth through black-and-white conversations in this movie is just brilliant, intense, natural, and powerful. No significant act of movements needed; just conversations and debates between the characters could build such this unique work of art that could convey and construct the story solid-ly with strong ambiences and intense atmospheres. If the movie 12 Angry Men has a son, than the son would be this movie, Oppenheimer. That's the best way to describe it. It's really an unforgettable cinematic experience. I left the theater speechless and amazed. It really screw my mind for hours. Until i write this review, this movie is still playing around in my head.
The performance? Intense and Powerful. All the famous cast's performances (Cillian Murphy, Florence Pugh, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Rami Malek, etc.) are undoubtedly remarkable and they successfully convey each character's emotions and personalities by their powerful, natural, and solid performances.
Ultimately, 'Oppenheimer' stands as a solid historical-biopical-court drama movie. Its aspects from visual, score, plot and storytelling successfully gives a unique, intense, magnificent and unforgettable experiences in cinematic history. It's really an ambitious work and the finest work of Nolan, and will stand forever as a milestone of cinematic history; one of the best movies ever created. Various issues such as science, politic, war, love, and moral dilemma are successfully combined and conveyed to this movie, in a perfect portion of each issue's complexity and development. Nolan is basically on a higher level of greatness... It's not an exaggeration to say that he's the most ambitious and the best active director of all time.
