Oppenheimer

Peak. From the marketing of the film, to the presentation, the first 10min, the middle, the conclusion. Just wow. This movie wraps so many sub genres underneath one title. Biopic, drama, historical drama, psychological horror, everything is here. Before anything, this is a Christopher Nolan film through and through. In other words, this IS Cillian Murphy’s film. This role was made for him. Nolan crafted this film specifically for Murphy and it really shows. So many scenes from this movie are so well designed around conversation and the suspense and tension of the unknown. Robert Downey Jr. is my vote for Best Supporting Actor easily. His performance cements him as an actor, not just iron man, not just a performance. So many a list actors shine in this movie. Jason Clarke gives an almost impeccable antagonistic performance. Emily Blunt also shines in this film. One scene from her is just brilliant. Aside from the actors and actresses, the sound design may be some of the best i’ve ever experienced in a theater. Multiple scenes i felt that i couldn’t breathe because of the suspense created by the sound design. Vibrating all around me, random edits or visions accompanied with large just explosions of sounds. All of it was breathtaking. I didn’t even feel the 3hr runtime. I didn’t even feel as though i blocked throughout the entire film. It was just as, but honestly better than everyone expected it to be. Nolan has created yet another timeless masterpiece.
