Oppenheimer
one of the best movies i’ve seen in a while, if not ever. easily one of my new favorites. i left the theatre in AWE. genuinely giddy at how amazing i think it was. perfection is you think that’s possible.
i heard a lot of people shit on the scoring but i thought it was perfect. good ambience where it adds to the movie but doesn’t distract you. when they tested the bomb and you just hear his raggedy breathing until the delayed booms…. genius. loved that. i saw it in imax and it was just so beautiful. i couldn’t take my eyes away from the screen.
personally, it felt like three hours yes but it wasn’t dragging on or getting boring at any part like the batman did for me. the pacing was unbeatable imo.
i think the casting was perfect, not even just for acting skill and believability, but also for just how dead on they look to the real life equivalents. except josh peck. i don’t like him. but i can’t deny he did well.
compelling plot, obviously like real events but you know what i mean. it really left me thinking. also i’m a little nerd for quantum physics :3 absolutely heartbreaking ending, the “trial” (not a trial!) to decide if oppy retains his security clearance had me biting my nails. i was convinced the one guy was matthew perry until i googled after (i’m sorry i didn’t believe you when you said it wasn’t him marissa). and when dr lawrence (who, btw, is trip from the virgin suicides) saw oppenheimer on his way to testify and suddenly had colitis…. so happy. i was rooting for him.
i’m so nitpicky when it comes to movies but i genuinely have no critiques. the random booms startled me yeah but i still liked them lol. if you can see this in imax i 100000% recommend it.
i would love to watch it again and again. another amazing movie by nolan thank you nolan everyone say thank you chris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ps if (like me) you heard the rumor there’s a 15 minute sex scene that’s a lie it’s like 2 but you see a LOT of florence pugh (rip) boobs. also to the idiots saying they don’t play up the moral dilemma enough…. did we watch the same movie?
