Oppenheimer
With all the things and horrors happening in the world right now it just felt right finally rewatching it. I remember how lost for words I was when I first watched it in theaters and I still am lost for words. Christopher Nolan is slowly but surely becoming my favorite director. I am so grateful that I get to witness his movies in theaters. He can really do anything, from the insane world building and a dremy looking Inception to incredibly plot driven Prestige to this masterpiece right here. I am so excited for the Odyssey too.
This movie feels so devastating especially the ending. The realization in his eyes that he really became the destroyer of worlds. I was at the edge of my seat during these very tense scenes. I want to mention the trinity test scene it really shocked me.
And of course the cast. It is perfect - everyone. But of course Cillian Murphy outshines everyone in his most important role. It is one of the most deserved Oscars in history I would've given him the oscar just for his eyes. He is amazing. Besides his performance every single supporting actor did their job outstandingly.
And the visual aspect of course, every shot is doing it's job, it is immaculate. The score by Ludwig is one of the best ever.
I believe Oppenheimer is one of the greatest works of American cinema, and it will only grow in reputation over time. A ridiculous achievement in filmmaking.
