Oppenheimer

Notes from second Oppenheimer viewing * From the jump, it’s clear that this is Robert Downey Jr.’s best work. * The score is powerful and runs the entire film. Incredible. The comparison to Amadeus* is on point. * “It’s not about can read you music, it’s about can you hear the music.” * In a five minute span we see Oppenheimer as a youth and then as a cocky asshole. So impressive to pull off. * We need to bring back three piece suits. * “He wasn’t always patient with us mear mortals.” * Matt Damon’s introduction is so great. * The recruiting montage is cut so well. Gives us the information in a clean way with some humor sprinkled in. * The sex scene in the boardroom just doesn’t make sense to me. * 5:30 am is a wild time to drop an atomic bomb. * This movie winning the Oscar for Sound is the biggest lock ever. * Gary Oldman as a villainous Harry S Truman was a brilliant surprise. * How is every actor in this pitching 98 mph in every scene? * Third act Emily Blunt gives one hell of a performance. * Best movie since Babylon.
