Oppenheimer
Finally watched the movie I definitely should’ve seen in theatres but didn’t. Nolan knows how to make a fucking picture.
This movie is maybe my favourite of his. Sound is amazing, the colours in this one wow. I like Nolan but found his movies to be muted sometimes but this one he wanted you to taste colours at the back of your eyelids. What a gorgeous movie. There’s a lot of movement in this movie, it’s constantly moving. I will say the editing isn’t my favourite when it comes to 2 shots over the shoulders with the amount of jumping but it’s because we got a lot more to cover and do and that's not a big deal just what i noticed so I can’t complain.
The dreamlike quality of guilt is my favourite in this movie, the slow disgust you feel about America pairs beautifully with the dream of guilt. The self importance of how others feel about themselves make you by the end of the movie feel the dread Oppenheimer felt at the start and now the end of it.
This movie starts and ends perfectly, it’s possibly the strongest Nolan movie ever.
Do I regret not seeing it in theaters 100% but I’m glad I saw it at all what a feat of a movie. Nolan has a way of making you feel like you’ve witnessed an epic and now you’re back to reality. He really is that guy. You forget then remember damn he got that shit on.
What an amazing visually communicative movie, that demands your attention the entire way. Not by acting necessarily but with a clear vision that shot straight through, burning bright until the destination.
