Oppenheimer
“Christopher Nolan’s characters have no depth”
Oppenheimer: Hold my fucking beer
My theater sat in silence for around 3 minutes when the final credits began to run. Christopher Nolan, you beautiful man, you’ve done it again. <i>Oppenheimer</i> is a mastery of filmmaking. Production, sound, <b>score</b>, acting, plot, pacing, just everything. Perfection. Cillian Murphy you <b>FINALLY</b> get the praise you’ve always deserved. Enjoy the Oscar race. Emily Blunt, take a bow. That one scene. And you’ll know when you watch. She ATE. Enjoy the Oscar race. RDJ, you were right. This is the best film you’ve ever been in, and without a doubt your best performance. Enjoy the Oscar race.
This story is told in vintage Nolan fashion. Interweaving story lines, plot twists (if you don’t know the history that is), everything was just so grand. I was on the edge of my seat, partly due to the theater being so god damn loud from the sound mixing, but because the story was so enthralling. I had incredibly high expectations and they were met/exceeded. I WISH I could see this in 70mm IMAX cause it is no joke - this was meant for it.
The only, and I mean only, negative was unfortunately the sound mixing. Nolan gets constantly made fun of for it and it’s hard to miss in this. There were some lines that I genuinely had no idea what the actors said. BUT ITS FINE. WERE FINE.
Now that the fun is over. It’s time to get serious with <i>Barbie</i> in an hour.
