Oppenheimer

Don't ask me why, but throughout the entire film, I had a lump in my throat and a pain in my chest, as if I were watching a tragedy from beginning to end—even in the moments when there was nothing 'sad' on screen. It's the first film that has achieved that effect on me; that said, I wasn't even close to crying, just sad. ​It's only the second movie where I felt the music came alive and was telling me things that the characters couldn't (the first one was Interstellar, by the way). ​The final sequence with Einstein, along with the scene where the president calls him a coward and shows zero humanity after murdering an entire city, were the highlights of the movie for me. P.S. This is better than The Odyssey, and it's not even close.
