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.” For a 3 hour film, I always forget how fast this thing moves. It has such an electric pace that you’re constantly engrossed throughout all while watching some of the finest filmmaking in recent years. One thing this rewatch really highlighted for me was how well Nolan manages to balance tone here; despite the constant sense of dread and horror running throughout, it’s also quite hilarious at the same time but Nolan balances the tones so incredibly well that it never feels off. Such a brilliant piece of art.
