Oppenheimer

“They won't fear it until they understand it. And they won't understand it until they've used it. Theory will take you only so far.” Damn. On second watch it’s very hard to find a flaw throughout the whole movie. Every single acting performance is amazing and brings the movie together. Cillian Murphy as the lead obviously stands out as the best performance, but if I had to pick my top 3 supporting I’d say: 1. Robert Downey Jr. 2. Emily Blunt 3. Rami Malek “The important thing isn't can you read music, it's can you hear it. Can you hear the music, Robert?” The composition that plays right after this in my opinion is right up there next to cornfield chase. I’m trying to decide where to place this in my Nolan ranking after moving it up to 5 stars. I never thought I’d put anything above interstellar, yet I’m considering it. Oppenheimer just had such an important feeling to it that almost outweighs the significance interstellar carries. I don’t think I can decide without rewatching interstellar and maybe this again. “Amateurs seek the sun. Get eaten. Power stays in the shadows.”
