Oppenheimer Movie Review (2023)

- Christopher Nolan directs 2023's Oppenheimer starring Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Benny Safdie, Florence Pugh, and Josh Hartnett. The film is a sprawling epic, but always seems intimate with the primary focus on Robert Oppenheimer's perspective whilst on the Manhattan Project and beyond. This was certainly a memorable film that must be seen in IMAX. Let me know what you all thought about the film!

i really appreciated Nolan's commitment to the black & white (in a similar way to Memento) as well as the Terrence Malick influence. would have loved to see a Tree of Life style 'destruction of the world' sequence with Oppenheimer imagining the worse case scenario, would have been so incredible in IMAX!
Yesss! That would have been amazing and would go with the abstract nature that he was trying to incorporate. Such a good idea!
With this, Dead Reckoning, and Talk to Me, July as a whole was an excellent month for movies.
I have seen some really good summer movies. I also just watched Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (does that count as a summer movie) and I loved it. I was tearing up for most of the film, which I didn't expect. Seeing Talk to Me this weekend.
Yeah, Guardians 3 definitely counts. That one was great too. Lemme know what you think of Talk to Me btw.
@@RyansChannel0203 Will do!
I agree with everything you said. I could not believe a movie that was mostly hearings and meetings could keep me interested for 3 hours. Pugh and Blunt were, in a way, dark and/or troubled characters so I thought the movie would be a little better with some more normal female perspective/characters. Great movie overall.
They were troubled and depressed, but we know very little about them so it was difficult to understand them.
I watched your mudbound review and came here. I think youre cute and do a nice job. This was a nolan masterpiece. For some reason it felt like his years of vision for his films became oppenheimer. But even i think he can do even better playing with time. Not only that. But he smashed the criticism that he cant do character study films. Now he just needs to do a film with a female lead.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I COULD NOT agree with you more. I think he struggles the most with female characters, and I would love to see him put a woman in the lead!
Each of these directors have their own strengths. If he can do a compelling emotional drama with a female lead? I think people would say he's the greatest ever. Sadly too many of his female characters are secondary one note personalities. Don't get me wrong. I'm a HUGE nolan fan.😃
@@apope06 Me too! I am a HUGE fan, but as a huge fan I can see that is his weakness. I have no idea if this is true, but there is talk that Robert Downey Jr. wants to be in a remake of Vertigo and I have seen a few articles saying Chris Nolan would be the perfect director for this. I'm incredibly conflicted about the whole thing in general, but Madeline is SO important in that story.
I totally didn't get what the black and white thing was about. Good catch.
Something I loved about this movie is how the movie handles 'action'. Obviously, in a movie about The Bomb, you expect the action will focus around war. However, this was not what Nolan wanted clearly. This was about Oppenheimer's experience of something he created which completely separated from him. The alienation felt there between reality and the theoretical physics which was his daily bread is, I feel, probably how 'Oppy' experienced the whole thing. Seeing the bomb was the climax. But you don't get to see the application stage. All the violence happens off-screen away from these scientists caught up in their petty little squabbles for fame and funding. Their passion for their work completely blind-sides them. This is the reality I'm sure for weapons designers. Complete detachment.
The movie was fantastic but it dragged for sure. After hour 2 I seriously wanted to just leave but my gf was into it so I stayed for her. The drama of Straus (Robert Downey) bored me. But the wrap up - gut punch Einstein delivers, about the way scientists are petty egotists who will use awards to actually humiliate and marginalize their rivals was perfectly delivered. It is a truly Christ-like moment that when Oppy's colleagues all betray him. However, the fact that, by the end, you realize he is just as bad as them in pursuing fame at all costs, kind of makes you not as sympathetic. He is a complex man. Not a cardboard cut-out.
Thanks for your review. Very well-thought out as usual!
Your analysis is on point as well. He is displayed as a complex person, which is certainly the right move. He cannot be seen as a hero or misunderstood. Also, you are right...they are all out for greed and fame. I thought that last line was the perfect ending to the film.

Absolutely crushing.
