Oppenheimer

3 hours flew by like it was NOTHING, the non-linear story telling served the pacing so well and kept the story going despite the possibility of subjects that can be so dull and boring. This shouldn’t be a surprise with Nolan honestly.  The thing stopping me from making this perfect is that i would’ve liked certain ideas to have been more fleshed out such as moral implications of progress and innovation bure more importantly on the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (well more on WW2 in the Asia-Pacific in general)zThough understandable as the film is in Oppenheimer’s perspective, I feel that the movie should’ve felt a heavier shift after the dropping of Little Boy. To remedy this perhaps good double features with it would be Barefoot Gen and The Grave of the Fireflies. This would also make a great companion to Ghibli’s The Wind Rises (coincidentally Emily Blunt also plays Jirro’s wife in that film) as it’s a very similar film in subject matter but at the end of the day is in a different medium and tone.
