Oppenheimer

Wow. idk the last time I was so invested during a film. You can feel the passion of science and discovery and joy and ultimately at the end of it all, I just feel grief. I couldn’t help but cry at the sheer horror of what was created and the buildup to it’s mass destruction of Hiroshima & Nagasaki.  The buildup is so brilliant and the moments leading up to the detonation are so riveting. You can feel the intensity rising within you. I just had tears streaming down my face all leading up to see what they had created. When it finally erupted I was somewhat surprised at how simultaneously I found beauty in the imagery of the smoke filled nuclear cloud along with immense sadness and despair of what was to follow and what had been discovered.  I wish I had seen it in theaters, but you know maybe there will come a time where they will show it again there. I think it should be a film to be remembered and for everyone to see, to realize what this world is capable of.
