A 4.3 isn't that great. In college, the scale was D 60-69, C 70-79, B 80-89, A 90-100. This is an 86, or a solid B. In high school, the scale was D 70-77, C 78-85, B 86-92 A 93-100. This movie is a B-. I don't see how this gets below an A, which either starts at 4.5 or 4.65.
Fun fact: Rabi, the guy who said "I don't wish the culmination of 3 centuries of physics to be a weapon of mass destruction." discovered nuclear magnetic resonance, which is still used today in MRI machines in hospitals around the world. So he got his wish. There were peaceful applications to the technology pioneered at Los Alamos.
“I believe we did”…….I felt that. I remember leaving the theater with so much weight on my shoulders for some reason. Like I was feeling the dread Oppenheimer felt.
I saw this movie in IMAX and the nuclear test section was probably the best cimena experience I've ever had. The absolute silence of it initially, and then the blast was so loud I almost jumped out of my seat
You guys should see interstellar in imax (or PDX if you have one around you, they sometimes play it to this day), it's like the test scene but more frequent
Much of the dialogue was directly lifted from the biography on which it's based, American Prometheus. The book itself draws from hundreds of sources, including interviews with dozens of people who knew Oppenheimer personally, so we can assume the dialogue was as accurate as it could be. That includes the scene with Truman, which happened exactly as portrayed in the movie. The conversations with Einstein, on the other hand, were fabricated. Oppenheimer brought his concerns about atmospheric ignition to Arthur Compton. The part where Einstein tells him to tell the board to "go to hell" was true, though.
Not quite exactly. The “crybaby scientist” comment WAS made, but not at that time, and not where Oppenheimer could hear it. Still, that exchange was the reason Truman said it
One actor I want to give credit to is Alden Ehrenreich. He gave a great performance in a small, not super showy role. He unfairly got the blame for Solo being a misfire, so I'm glad to see him in a movie like this and do so well.
Ge was very much the stand in for the audience in his scenes, and he so authentically portrayed the emotions we were all feeling. I'm glad I forgot he was in this movie, because his appearance was a welcome surprise.
I remember being not only shocked but I ended up being very pissed off. My friend/co-worker even heard me say some shit under my breath. Strauss was really a salty POS and Downey sold that performance!
Exactly. I have to say I normally don’t recognize great acting performances. The last scenes of RDJ I was like “Give this man his deserved Oscar!”. The last time that happened it was with Emma Stone in La La Land after her performance of the audition song 😅
FYI. Nolan wanted a lot of the visuals to be practical, so the trinity explosion was a real explosion and he used certain camera frames to make it look bigger than if was.
“I believe we did.” That sentence sent chills down my spine. How horrifying is that… how far along we have come now…. The score was SO perfect at the end there (and through the whole movie) seeing it in theaters with the sound was absolutely phenomenal
Thanks for the reaction guys! If you enjoyed Cillian Murphy in this I would urge you to check out Peaky Blinders sometime. He's insanely good in it. It's just a fantastic show with amazing performances and I think you guys would really enjoy it.
The composer Ludwig Göransson is incredible! I’ve been a fan of his for a LONG time. He’s come a long way from making beats for Childish Gambino in his dorm room lol
He never made beats for Childish in his dorm room. He was working on Community when he started working with Donald, he was the lead composer for Community already.
This wonderful movie won 5 Golden Globes, of course for the best film, best actor in a leading role and supporting role! I am sure they will win also the big five Oscars! Greetings from Germany💖
So we'll deserved, but I especially loved that Nolan finally got the big director recognition he has so deserved!! Plus, Cillian Murphy acted the crap out of this role & I was exhilarated that he won!❤💞❤️
The part with Oppie and Truman was historically accurate. I was amazed that even though I knew most of the history surrounding The Manhattan Project, I was still so tense the whole time. Nolan presented this world event in such a unique way, it created such anticipation that you forgot that you already know the outcome.
So glad you guys loved it as much as I did. I totally agree. MASTERPIECE! One of the best movies ever made & one of the best performances I’ve ever seen from Cillian Murphy. A career best from Robert Downey Jr. Christopher Nolan is a damn genius & visionary. He’s almost too good. Everything across the board in this film (score, sound, cinematography, editing, acting, directing etc) was just absolutely excellent. This films deserves all the awards for everyone. Give it all the Oscars. 🏆
Even watching this film in a regular theatre, the test scene still hits you like a truck. Knowing how powerful they made that, then followed by the realization of just how devastating it turned out to be, only for the stakes to get upped by the hydrogen bomb - which was actually made by Teller.
For the scientists, philosophers and historians every person who seeks knowledge and pattern this movie was just a masterpiece the acting the visuals the music the information the direction simply just a masterpiece i am gald this was created in this era
OH HELL YEAH!!! Oppenheimer was my most anticipated movie of 2023 and let me just say that this was my first ever Christopher Nolan experience in an actual movie theatre because I've only ever watched his other movies at home before. It was such a surreal moment for me and my dad because it had been a while in general for us to watch a film at the cinema (due to the pandemic), and when the "can you hear the music" scene happened, I remember getting chills and was in absolute tears because it finally hit me that I was finally getting back to reality after being couped up at home for so long (despite the fact that I enjoy watching things at my own accord in a comfortable environment). Nevertheless, we are SO back, and this movie was such a masterpiece! Cillian Murphy inhabited an actualized portrayal and performance of the most misunderstood man in the universe with so much complexity and emotion that I don't think any other person will ever be capable of doing. I really enjoyed this reaction, guys! Keep it up! ❤❤
I read that Nolan was gifted a collection of Oppenheimer’s original speeches at the Tenet wrap party by Robert Pattinson and that’s what inspired him to make the film. He used those speeches and the biography “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer” as basis for the film.
Saw this for the first time a couple weeks ago and was amazed at how gripping it was. They built the tension immediately, and I found myself holding my breath even when I knew where the plot was going (cuz history). My brain kind of felt like it did after Inception - which is absolutely incredible when you think about it because one was action and plot twists and sci-fi and the other is a biopic. Just like, WTF kind of incredible was I just a witness to? It was fun sharing the experience with you all!
I've watched many movies and had experienced tears from sadness and from happiness, but this is the first movie that when I watched it in the theater right at that "I believe we did" finale of the movie with the music swelling up and the shots of nuclear missiles being launched, I had tears fill up my eyes out of sheer awe and terror. Especially with the war in Ukraine and the tensions with Russia currently, it very much terrified me as a human being just how much control over our earth is in the hands of very few very powerful people, and that they absolutely have the ability to easily end it all in a moment. I walked out of the theater feeling an existential crisis. In that moment and from that perspective, my entire life felt insignificant. Not a single gunshot or action scene in the entire movie and yet it's one of the most intense I've ever seen.
As a member of the boomer generation, we lived under the shadow of the BOMB. My greatest fear is the younger generation won't believe it ever happened. Just like they are doubting we went to the moon or the Halocoust ever happened. Yes it did! Never forget!
Younger generations aren't doubting the moon landings or the unthinkable in Germany. The doubters were, I think are still, highest in numbers from your generation. Luckily for both of us, I don't think there is a measurable trend of nuclear bomb doubters from any generation.
The Cold War froze a political status quo, in Western World and Eastern World, during decades. Both worlds were engaged in a race about productivity of goods as a plan B to war. And at the end, everybody is losing a viable planet. Our CO2 emissions are killing life on Earth. Our economical theories don't give a sh*t about planetary limits of natural ressources, biological cycles of living beings or physical cycles of natural elements, necessary to life. The last IPCC report says, that economical growth is the cause of global warming. It provides a map where purple color shows territories that will be deadly for human beings, 365 days in the year, because of too high heat and moisture. But only several months of those conditions will be sufficient to provoke migrations of billions of humans. The most populated country of the world, India, an atomic power, will be one of the first area that will be submitted to those conditions. So, probable consequence is that this country will try to conquer territories, upon its neighbors China and Pakistan, that are atomic powers, too. People from South Asia, Africa and South America will go North, to become climatic refugees, at level of several billions. Who knows how the North will respond to that ? Probability of use of H-bomb will be higher, in few decades, than it has never been, during the Cold War. An international agreement obtained by IPBES was made to left untouched 30% of emerged lands. That is not difficult 25% are already deserts. But there was no agreement about seabeds. We are at the beginning to destroy life, there, after destroying it everywhere, else. Nowadays, Putin has already threaten allies of Ukraine with his missiles. Kim Jong-un is demonstrating the range of his arsenal, in near region of Taiwan, provider of micro-processors for the Western world, coveted by China. And I did not speak about AI in the hands of GAFAM, that will shred economical tissues at light speed. So, younger generations still have to deal with the threat of a nuclear holocaust, but also, with other similar threats of complete destruction of humanity.
I saw this in IMAX and my God was it an amazing auditory experience. The extended silence after the Trinity explosion was so unbelievably tense, and I was just waiting, waiting, waiting for the boom, and even though I knew it was coming I still jumped out of my seat. The score and sound design on this film are epic.
This is the first movie in... Several years to have me in such an intense grip. It's been a while since a movie had me thinking about it non stop for days on end. That final scene is so haunting.
This movie is something else. I'm still watching your comments but I wanted to say that I agree with Dave, Emily's scene in the interrogation room is next level, only those minutes are deserving of an award because she crushed it!
Everything in regards to this movie in IMAX was absolutely stunning. So much so that I had to see it in IMAX. Both times, the Theater was in utter silence at the end with everyone looking at each other... Movie of the year, maybe more....
Ludwig never fails. I loved his documentary on Black Panther Wakanda Forever. He explored a good amount of the process of making the soundtrack. Oppenheimer was an excellent movie; I was afraid I wasn't going to understand the scientific aspect, but tbh I did, almost everything, especially when it comes to quantum mechanics. Another great historical movie is Hidden Figures. It was also amazing, I recommend you guys watch it as well. Thanks for the reaction, can't wait for more 👏🏻
I'm going to go ahead and give this movie 5.7 Answers to take care of the 0.7 Answers somehow missing on Diamond Dave's board! I saw this in IMAX, and it was probably the most intense movie I've ever seen in a theater. Such an incredible story and every aspect of the filmmaking was top notch. This was Christopher Nolan's Magnum Opus!!!!!!
Great reaction gentleman! I still remember experiencing this the first time in the IMAX. I wanted to see it again almost immediately. But shows were sold out for a week or two. It's being re-released in the IMAX again starting tomorrow at our local theater. I'll definitely be seeing it one more time in all it's glory.
This film has become Nolan's magum opus directing and writing a movie that focused on Oppenheimer and his magum opus. Plus Emily Blunt's interrogation scene is one of my all-time favorite film scenes
This was such an amazing movie, it really shows you all the different colors a person can have and how they interact with the world. Another movie that is legendary has to be Schindler’s List.
I have a Japanese friend who wasn't sure whether he wanted to watch this movie (I'm not sure if he did or not). I love that the film didn't show Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There's no way that they could have and done justice to the horror, or shown respect for the victims. Much better choice to restrict the effects of the bomb to Oppenheimer's imagination, since the film is about Oppenheimer, not the bomb.
I have to say, the two films I really didn’t understand while watching them by myself…Interstellar and Oppenheimer… I grew to LOVE them and shrivel in their marvel with my soul, **with your editing (and commentary)**. Absolutely brilliant timing and inclusion of precise lines and visuals… Thank you.
Gentlemen! Excellent reaction - I totally agree, this is an incredible movie that manages to balance historical data (names, dates, scientific theories, political details) with personal drama. And yes, the tension Nolan was able to maintain was phenomenal. On a similar note, I would be terribly interested to see your reaction to Maestro - another biopic of an American icon, with some interesting similarities in artistic choices (though I hesitate to elaborate, because it would be better to discover upon watching). Anyway... Again, great reaction! Cheers.
Christopher Nolan used no cgi in this film. The white balls everywhere in the explosion are actually ping pong balls lol. Nolan basically did build a bomb
Those nominated for awards deserved to win ' cos this movie is really spellbounding & mesmerizing. Cillian Murphy acting is par excellence. Christopher Nolan's direction is amazing. Robert Downey JR 's acting also soo good. Thanks so much for your reaction video All that you all said are true👍👏🌹🌹🌹🌹
absolutely hands down my favourite movie that came out last year, phenomenal cast, phenomenal acting, phenomenal soundtrack and cinematography. Nolan absolutely crushed it.
Me and my husband went to see this and being the nerd scientists we are, we were like fan girls excited about each actor portraying a famous physicist, particularly Bohr!. I knew this one would blow your minds.
Went to see this in theaters, it was my first Christopher Nolan film I've been able to see in theaters. This movie is truly beautiful and horrifying at the same time. The sound design, VFX, acting, directing, all of it was outstanding. I couldn't believe what I had seen in theaters that day, it truly makes one think of what they can do with the power of the mind and where it can lead anyone down a path of success and destruction and being known for it for the rest of their life.
Haven't felt suspense & tension in a film like this since Sicario & that was only for a few scenes, not for most of the film like with Oppenheimer. Very happy to see it picking up the awards it deserves.
Saw it opening day in IMAX. Was gripping my seat during the countdown and could hear a pin drop when it exploded. Impressive instant reaction on y’all’s part. The group I was with didn’t say much until a week later cause we needed some time to process. I hope this movie continues to get the recognition and awards it deserves
Imagine betraying the dude who was supposed to be your friend and student all because he "embarrassed" you and assumed was talking shit about you behind your back. Strauss was such a salty sore loser.
The special features that accompany this movie are amazing and oak should seek it out as it really gets into the more technical aspects of the filmmaking and they really used incredible amounts of ingenuity to make this
I saw this movie with a friend and by the end he had the same face expression and thoughts than The Oak. And I was like all excited saying over and over again my favorite scenes and characters. My friend just told me “hold on, give me a few minutes, I need to process what I saw” Its not my favorite Nolan movie (Dunkirk is) but Is definitely the best.
Seeing it in theatre was such a great experience, the sound design really stood out. I'm glad you guys give thought to those parts of the movies you review.
Thanks a lot for your reactions. Your reactions & film snippets shown give me clearer understanding & confirm my admirations for Cillian Murphy's brilliant performance & Christopher Nolan's direction.. I agree with you I'll like to watch the movie on & on....This movie, Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr deserve every awards available. 👏💖
The interaction between Truman and Oppenheimer was a real interaction, however reportedly Truman was even more pissed-off than this film depicts. The actual quote Truman is reported to have said was "I don't want to see that son of a bitch in this office ever again."
The guy in the car without eye protection was Richard Feynman; an incredible scientist with an absolutely wild life. His stories of practical jokes played at Los Alamos are hilarious, including how he used a hole in the fence to walk in through the same gate past the same guards three times within a couple of hours before they realized they never let him out! He was also famously involved in the investigation of the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster which has an awesome dramatization made of it.
This movie was riveting. You're right it didn't seem like 3 hours . The cast was brilliant. If this movie doesn't sweep the Oscars. There is something wrong.
Nolan based his movie on mammoth 600+page book, American Prometheus-The Triumph & Tragedy of J.Robert Oppenheimer." The research notes alone take 100+pages. It's pretty accurate, but the book has more detail & background. His relationship with Einstein is accurate.
ludwig is becoming one of the best movie composers. He did the score for Nolans Tenet as well. and his score for the mandalorian is just amazing. hes so good
This movie was brilliant. I thought the 3 hour runtime was going to be too long without any action. But boy was i wrong that 3 hours flew by. Im a sucker for great dialog
NOTE TO DIAMOND DAVE: Ludwig is pronounced LOO DWIG. Not LUD WIG. Great reaction guys! Appreciate your appreciation for the intensity of the topic and brilliance of the performances.❤❤❤❤
The movie was powerful, the detail of the period was spot on. My Dad was in WW II veteran in the Pacific, and that made the movie more interesting to me.
The best performance for me: 1. Robert Downey Jr he deserves all the awards 😍 2. Emily Blunt 3. Cillian Murphy 4. Matt Damon Florence Pugh and Gary Oldman too were really good for the time they were on screen! What a cast what a movie! The score is sooooo good! ❤️🔥🙌🏻
I just watched Oppenheimer today and was floored by how great the pacing in the movie was! The score (Ludwig) the acting, 3 act story interweaved, the tension feeling like a bomb igniting. 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Also! I just caught on to the ripples in the map of the bombing sight being a reference to the ripples at the pond when Oppenheimer told Einstein about the “world ender” wow! Great Reaction guys!
I knew 10 minutes in the theatre the first time I saw it that it was the best film I'd ever seen! And as a huge Cillian Murphy fan, its absolutely wonderful to see him get the kudos he so deserves. 10 stars from me !!!
II was SO excited to see this and I will forever be grateful to have gotten to see it in IMAX. Mason's completely right--this might genuinely be one of the best movies of all time. It was so well done in every single regard. Between this and Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, true cinema is BACK!
Goedel, who was with Einstein, when Oppie brought Teller's calculations for Einstein's opinion ... his mathematics led to Turing and the computer I am typing on.
Great movie, great watchalong and review guys. As far as the historical timeline, yes, the Manhatten Projects was in 1943, but the AEC security clearance hearing was 1954, the Strauss confirmation hearing was 1959 and the medal being awarded to Oppie was 1963. Keep truckin, guys.
Great reaction. It really is an enthralling watch, which goes to show how good Nolan and his editors are at pacing and payoff. My favourite part of this movie is also quite a haunting part. It was when the shot of the V2 rocket panned, and it became a row of V2 rockets, to visualise the upcoming arms race of nuclear weapons. I just had to let out air after that whole final sequence. Not sure if you've seen Dunkirk, another WW2 movie by Nolan. Really captures the tension in that film as well.
I saw this in IMAX but the theater was so packed (and you could see exactly what groups were seeing Barbie!) that the only seats me and my friend could get were in the 3rd row away from the screen. So that was really something for my neck, but it didn't take away from the experience!
I remember watching this in imax, after the detonation just waiting for the shockwave, never felt that much anticipation in my life. Even though I knew it was coming it still made me jump
I know I’m late, I was in a country that had no wifi for the past 10 months 😭 but I had to watch your review. What’s funny is Strauss ended up causing his own demise. His paranoia & grudging nature grew from the moment Oppie called him a “lowly shoe salesman” before Einstein ignored his greeting. The non “trial” he set Oppie up with ended up being his non “trial” the scientists set him up with. Oppie was their role model, their hero, their inspiration. Strauss wasn’t going to get away with it. And this is all true, there is a detailed documentary called Oppenheimer & it confirms this entire movie.
Love your reaction to this guys. An incredible way to tell this story that is instantly my fav. One tiny thing that I've been thinking about since I first saw it, was that little nugget they dropped about JFK at the end. A then young senator who was a vote against Strauss for a cabinet position. I mean...why that detail? As vindictive as Strauss was against Oppenheimer, setting up everything to keep him away from National Security...and I say this admittedly without knowing much of the history after Strauss was passed over for his position, but I was left wondering if he had something to do with the assassination years later. I dont know that answer, but he delivered that chilling line "Power stays in the shadows" so the length he'd go to isn't a stretch I suppose. Anyway...incredibly important movie. Love your channel. Keep it up.
I saw it about showing the shift in history. Since Strauss was trying to damn Oppenheimer from the public opinion the fact that his failure was in part due to a man that the audience knows would eventually become president shows the eventual move away from the height of red scare politics.
Shout out to the cast and crew on this one! This was fantastic from top to bottom. What was your reaction? Did we miss anything?

So he got his wish. There were peaceful applications to the technology pioneered at Los Alamos.
I'm so grateful for this comment. I was crying during the movie thinking about the people who were horrifically harmed by the bomb.
You’re a hero for sharing this one
"I believe we did" And with that last line Nolan made sure this will stick with you for a long time after.
Chills.
Kind of annoying they skipped the reaction on that part that's the best 10 seconds in the movie 😅
That last line scared the living sh*t out of me and the whole cinema..It was dead silent after the end
“I believe we did”…….I felt that. I remember leaving the theater with so much weight on my shoulders for some reason. Like I was feeling the dread Oppenheimer felt.

That’s the dude whom Strauss was telling his side of the events, right? Absolutely, man, he CRUSHED it.
He was great in the movie.
Ge was very much the stand in for the audience in his scenes, and he so authentically portrayed the emotions we were all feeling. I'm glad I forgot he was in this movie, because his appearance was a welcome surprise.
Was not expecting the last 40 or so minutes to get so intense, and Downey's performance as the one causing it all was just exhilarating to watch.
I remember being not only shocked but I ended up being very pissed off.
My friend/co-worker even heard me say some shit under my breath. Strauss was really a salty POS and Downey sold that performance!

“Until somebody builds a bigger bomb.” He was the one who built the bigger bomb a few years later when he invented the H bomb lol.
Oppenheimer didn't invent the H bomb
@@Maxime_G No, Edward Teller did, AKA known as the dude that said that line in the film.
Thanks for the reaction guys! If you enjoyed Cillian Murphy in this I would urge you to check out Peaky Blinders sometime. He's insanely good in it. It's just a fantastic show with amazing performances and I think you guys would really enjoy it.
That is on the list🤙
Yes! Peaky Blinders is incredible. One of my favorite shows, and Cillian Murphy is just amazing in it. Great recommendation!!
Yes! I was literally about to comment and say they should definitely watch peaky blinders!
Peaky Blinders movie starts shooting mid 2024. 👍👍
As a Brit from Birmingham,UK. I agree!!
The composer Ludwig Göransson is incredible! I’ve been a fan of his for a LONG time. He’s come a long way from making beats for Childish Gambino in his dorm room lol
Glad to see him win the Golden Globe the other night. Well deserved.
He never made beats for Childish in his dorm room. He was working on Community when he started working with Donald, he was the lead composer for Community already.
If there's any post-credits scene for Oppenheimer, it wasn't in the movie.
We're living in it.

I found it so incredible how Nolan is able to keep the tension up throughout the film. It's just this constant feeling of being on edge. Amazing!
The Oak is in big shock and speechless at the end - like me.
The test scene in IMAX was so nerve-racking. I was expecting the boom too early 😂😂😂
This wonderful movie won 5 Golden Globes, of course for the best film, best actor in a leading role and supporting role! I am sure they will win also the big five Oscars! Greetings from Germany💖

Yeah. Truman was truly a jerk. He certainly showed that presidents aren't really that great, just vulgar and indifferent to other humans
Oak's silence during most of this reaction spoke a thousand words. I remember sitting in my seat, frozen and sweating litres during the buildup
So glad you guys loved it as much as I did. I totally agree. MASTERPIECE! One of the best movies ever made & one of the best performances I’ve ever seen from Cillian Murphy.
A career best from Robert Downey Jr.

This has officially become my all-time favorite movie and I'm glad I got to experience it in a theater.

Yep portrayal of woman in right way. Not :D those modern wahmen in those later movies this past decade especially.
Very intense, very impressive, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! I wish I had seen it in theaters, but this reaction was just as good.
Diamond Dave could be visited by God in person and he'd give the entire experience a 4.4, so I guess this was pretty good for him.
Saw this for the first time a couple weeks ago and was amazed at how gripping it was. They built the tension immediately, and I found myself holding my breath even when I knew where the plot was going (cuz history). My brain kind of felt like it did after Inception - which is absolutely incredible when you think about it because one was action and plot twists and sci-fi and the other is a biopic. Just like, WTF kind of incredible was I just a witness to? It was fun sharing the experience with you all!
I've watched many movies and had experienced tears from sadness and from happiness, but this is the first movie that when I watched it in the theater right at that "I believe we did" finale of the movie with the music swelling up and the shots of nuclear missiles being launched, I had tears fill up my eyes out of sheer awe and terror. Especially with the war in Ukraine and the tensions with Russia currently, it very much terrified me as a human being just how much control over our earth is in the hands of very few very powerful people, and that they absolutely have the ability to easily end it all in a moment.
I walked out of the theater feeling an existential crisis. In that moment and from that perspective, my entire life felt insignificant.
Not a single gunshot or action scene in the entire movie and yet it's one of the most intense I've ever seen.
As a member of the boomer generation, we lived under the shadow of the BOMB. My greatest fear is the younger generation won't believe it ever happened. Just like they are doubting we went to the moon or the Halocoust ever happened. Yes it did! Never forget!
Younger generations aren't doubting the moon landings or the unthinkable in Germany. The doubters were, I think are still, highest in numbers from your generation. Luckily for both of us, I don't think there is a measurable trend of nuclear bomb doubters from any generation.
The Cold War froze a political status quo, in Western World and Eastern World, during decades.
Both worlds were engaged in a race about productivity of goods as a plan B to war.
And at the end, everybody is losing a viable planet.
Our CO2 emissions are killing life on Earth.
Our economical theories don't give a sh*t about planetary limits of natural ressources, biological cycles of living beings or physical cycles of natural elements, necessary to life.
The last IPCC report says, that economical growth is the cause of global warming. It provides a map where purple color shows territories that will be deadly for human beings, 365 days in the year, because of too high heat and moisture. But only several months of those conditions will be sufficient to provoke migrations of billions of humans.
The most populated country of the world, India, an atomic power, will be one of the first area that will be submitted to those conditions.
So, probable consequence is that this country will try to conquer territories, upon its neighbors China and Pakistan, that are atomic powers, too.
People from South Asia, Africa and South America will go North, to become climatic refugees, at level of several billions. Who knows how the North will respond to that ?
Probability of use of H-bomb will be higher, in few decades, than it has never been, during the Cold War.
An international agreement obtained by IPBES was made to left untouched 30% of emerged lands.
That is not difficult 25% are already deserts. But there was no agreement about seabeds.
We are at the beginning to destroy life, there, after destroying it everywhere, else.
Nowadays, Putin has already threaten allies of Ukraine with his missiles. Kim Jong-un is demonstrating the range of his arsenal, in near region of Taiwan, provider of micro-processors for the Western world, coveted by China.
And I did not speak about AI in the hands of GAFAM, that will shred economical tissues at light speed.
So, younger generations still have to deal with the threat of a nuclear holocaust, but also, with other similar threats of complete destruction of humanity.
I saw this in IMAX and my God was it an amazing auditory experience. The extended silence after the Trinity explosion was so unbelievably tense, and I was just waiting, waiting, waiting for the boom, and even though I knew it was coming I still jumped out of my seat. The score and sound design on this film are epic.
This is the first movie in... Several years to have me in such an intense grip. It's been a while since a movie had me thinking about it non stop for days on end. That final scene is so haunting.
This movie is something else. I'm still watching your comments but I wanted to say that I agree with Dave, Emily's scene in the interrogation room is next level, only those minutes are deserving of an award because she crushed it!
Everything in regards to this movie in IMAX was absolutely stunning.
So much so that I had to see it in IMAX.
Both times, the Theater was in utter silence at the end with everyone looking at each other...
Movie of the year, maybe more....
Ludwig never fails. I loved his documentary on Black Panther Wakanda Forever. He explored a good amount of the process of making the soundtrack. Oppenheimer was an excellent movie; I was afraid I wasn't going to understand the scientific aspect, but tbh I did, almost everything, especially when it comes to quantum mechanics. Another great historical movie is Hidden Figures. It was also amazing, I recommend you guys watch it as well.
Thanks for the reaction, can't wait for more 👏🏻
I'm going to go ahead and give this movie 5.7 Answers to take care of the 0.7 Answers somehow missing on Diamond Dave's board! I saw this in IMAX, and it was probably the most intense movie I've ever seen in a theater. Such an incredible story and every aspect of the filmmaking was top notch. This was Christopher Nolan's Magnum Opus!!!!!!
Great reaction gentleman! I still remember experiencing this the first time in the IMAX. I wanted to see it again almost immediately. But shows were sold out for a week or two. It's being re-released in the IMAX again starting tomorrow at our local theater. I'll definitely be seeing it one more time in all it's glory.
This film has become Nolan's magum opus directing and writing a movie that focused on Oppenheimer and his magum opus.
Plus Emily Blunt's interrogation scene is one of my all-time favorite film scenes
This was such an amazing movie, it really shows you all the different colors a person can have and how they interact with the world. Another movie that is legendary has to be Schindler’s List.
the explosion and the silence afterwards was just incredible in the cinema, idk if i ever felt the way i did during that scene watching a movie
As a history major (many years ago), I'm impressed with Nolan's depiction 👏
I have a Japanese friend who wasn't sure whether he wanted to watch this movie (I'm not sure if he did or not). I love that the film didn't show Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There's no way that they could have and done justice to the horror, or shown respect for the victims. Much better choice to restrict the effects of the bomb to Oppenheimer's imagination, since the film is about Oppenheimer, not the bomb.
Who else dropped everything they were doing to watch this reaction? Beyond spectacular movie and videos ya’ll!
I have to say, the two films I really didn’t understand while watching them by myself…Interstellar and Oppenheimer…
I grew to LOVE them and shrivel in their marvel with my soul, **with your editing (and commentary)**.
Absolutely brilliant timing and inclusion of precise lines and visuals…
Thank you.
And the Oscar goes to…
Robert Downey Jr 😍
Cillian Murphy
Christopher Nolan
Oppenheimer for Best Picture, Original Score, Cinematography & Editing! ❤️
Gentlemen! Excellent reaction - I totally agree, this is an incredible movie that manages to balance historical data (names, dates, scientific theories, political details) with personal drama. And yes, the tension Nolan was able to maintain was phenomenal. On a similar note, I would be terribly interested to see your reaction to Maestro - another biopic of an American icon, with some interesting similarities in artistic choices (though I hesitate to elaborate, because it would be better to discover upon watching). Anyway... Again, great reaction! Cheers.
"Albert, we thought we might destroy the world. I believe we did".
"Also, that guy Strauss thinks you're a dick"
Christopher Nolan used no cgi in this film. The white balls everywhere in the explosion are actually ping pong balls lol. Nolan basically did build a bomb
Those nominated for awards deserved to win ' cos this movie is really spellbounding & mesmerizing. Cillian Murphy acting is par excellence. Christopher Nolan's direction is amazing. Robert Downey JR 's acting also soo good.
Thanks so much for your reaction video
All that you all said are true👍👏🌹🌹🌹🌹
absolutely hands down my favourite movie that came out last year, phenomenal cast, phenomenal acting, phenomenal soundtrack and cinematography. Nolan absolutely crushed it.
The dialogue between Trueman and Oppenheimer is word for word !
Me and my husband went to see this and being the nerd scientists we are, we were like fan girls excited about each actor portraying a famous physicist, particularly Bohr!. I knew this one would blow your minds.
Went to see this in theaters, it was my first Christopher Nolan film I've been able to see in theaters. This movie is truly beautiful and horrifying at the same time. The sound design, VFX, acting, directing, all of it was outstanding. I couldn't believe what I had seen in theaters that day, it truly makes one think of what they can do with the power of the mind and where it can lead anyone down a path of success and destruction and being known for it for the rest of their life.
Haven't felt suspense & tension in a film like this since Sicario & that was only for a few scenes, not for most of the film like with Oppenheimer. Very happy to see it picking up the awards it deserves.
Saw it opening day in IMAX. Was gripping my seat during the countdown and could hear a pin drop when it exploded. Impressive instant reaction on y’all’s part. The group I was with didn’t say much until a week later cause we needed some time to process. I hope this movie continues to get the recognition and awards it deserves
Imagine betraying the dude who was supposed to be your friend and student all because he "embarrassed" you and assumed was talking shit about you behind your back. Strauss was such a salty sore loser.
The special features that accompany this movie are amazing and oak should seek it out as it really gets into the more technical aspects of the filmmaking and they really used incredible amounts of ingenuity to make this
I saw this movie with a friend and by the end he had the same face expression and thoughts than The Oak. And I was like all excited saying over and over again my favorite scenes and characters. My friend just told me “hold on, give me a few minutes, I need to process what I saw”
Its not my favorite Nolan movie (Dunkirk is) but Is definitely the best.
RDJ was awsome! "Maybe they didn't even mention you, and talked about something more important." Classic!
Seeing it in theatre was such a great experience, the sound design really stood out. I'm glad you guys give thought to those parts of the movies you review.
Thanks a lot for your reactions. Your reactions & film snippets shown give me clearer understanding & confirm my admirations for Cillian Murphy's brilliant performance & Christopher Nolan's direction.. I agree with you I'll like to watch the movie on & on....This movie, Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr deserve every awards available. 👏💖
The interaction between Truman and Oppenheimer was a real interaction, however reportedly Truman was even more pissed-off than this film depicts. The actual quote Truman is reported to have said was "I don't want to see that son of a bitch in this office ever again."
The guy in the car without eye protection was Richard Feynman; an incredible scientist with an absolutely wild life. His stories of practical jokes played at Los Alamos are hilarious, including how he used a hole in the fence to walk in through the same gate past the same guards three times within a couple of hours before they realized they never let him out! He was also famously involved in the investigation of the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster which has an awesome dramatization made of it.
Apparently his marriage was tragic in that his wife died pretty young. I think she had tuberculosis - at least , some form of respiratory problem
I am certain this movie will be re-released in theaters at some point. You guys need to see it in IMAX when it does!
This movie was riveting. You're right it didn't seem like 3 hours .
The cast was brilliant.
If this movie doesn't sweep the Oscars. There is something wrong.
Nolan based his movie on mammoth 600+page book, American Prometheus-The Triumph & Tragedy of J.Robert Oppenheimer." The research notes alone take 100+pages. It's pretty accurate, but the book has more detail & background. His relationship with Einstein is accurate.
ludwig is becoming one of the best movie composers. He did the score for Nolans Tenet as well. and his score for the mandalorian is just amazing. hes so good
This movie was brilliant. I thought the 3 hour runtime was going to be too long without any action. But boy was i wrong that 3 hours flew by. Im a sucker for great dialog
NOTE TO DIAMOND DAVE: Ludwig is pronounced LOO DWIG. Not LUD WIG.
Great reaction guys! Appreciate your appreciation for the intensity of the topic and brilliance of the performances.❤❤❤❤
The movie was powerful, the detail of the period was spot on. My Dad was in WW II veteran in the Pacific, and that made the movie more interesting to me.
7:36 that sound is from the " Geiger counter " detects radiation.....
The best performance for me:
1. Robert Downey Jr he deserves all the awards 😍
2. Emily Blunt
3. Cillian Murphy
4. Matt Damon
Florence Pugh and Gary Oldman too were really good for the time they were on screen!
What a cast what a movie!
The score is sooooo good! ❤️🔥🙌🏻
I just watched Oppenheimer today and was floored by how great the pacing in the movie was! The score (Ludwig) the acting, 3 act story interweaved, the tension feeling like a bomb igniting. 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Also! I just caught on to the ripples in the map of the bombing sight being a reference to the ripples at the pond when Oppenheimer told Einstein about the “world ender” wow!
Great Reaction guys!
Christopher Nolan cast his eldest daughter, Flora as the woman who's skin was burned of in the speech scene.
Interesting fact, but the score doesn't use a drum once in it, yet is so intense. So clever by Ludwig Göransson
I knew 10 minutes in the theatre the first time I saw it that it was the best film I'd ever seen! And as a huge Cillian Murphy fan, its absolutely wonderful to see him get the kudos he so deserves. 10 stars from me !!!
Just got done with part 1 and see part 2 uploaded right after, hell yeah lets go!!
II was SO excited to see this and I will forever be grateful to have gotten to see it in IMAX. Mason's completely right--this might genuinely be one of the best movies of all time. It was so well done in every single regard. Between this and Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, true cinema is BACK!
YES, yes yes yes to how dramatic a choice it was to have SILENCE in the film right after the bomb went off. I definitely noticed that too!
Diamond Dave's rating for this is really impressive.
Goedel, who was with Einstein, when Oppie brought Teller's calculations for Einstein's opinion ... his mathematics led to Turing and the computer I am typing on.
It was also correct that Godel was paranoid about the Nazis possibly poisoning his food. Sad
David Krumholtz guest starred on ER, episode "Be Still My Heart." All I can think anymore, not even 10 Things, just "Be Still My Heart."
Seeing this movie in the theater was insane, the sound was shaking the seats.
Thanks for these 2 reactions guys & thanks for uploading together. Appreciated. Wow, what a movie! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great movie, great watchalong and review guys. As far as the historical timeline, yes, the Manhatten Projects was in 1943, but the AEC security clearance hearing was 1954, the Strauss confirmation hearing was 1959 and the medal being awarded to Oppie was 1963. Keep truckin, guys.
Great reaction. It really is an enthralling watch, which goes to show how good Nolan and his editors are at pacing and payoff. My favourite part of this movie is also quite a haunting part. It was when the shot of the V2 rocket panned, and it became a row of V2 rockets, to visualise the upcoming arms race of nuclear weapons. I just had to let out air after that whole final sequence.
Not sure if you've seen Dunkirk, another WW2 movie by Nolan. Really captures the tension in that film as well.
Ludwig is slowly building a resume to put himself in the pantheon of composers.
I saw this in IMAX but the theater was so packed (and you could see exactly what groups were seeing Barbie!) that the only seats me and my friend could get were in the 3rd row away from the screen. So that was really something for my neck, but it didn't take away from the experience!
Oh nice, I thought the second part would take a while to put out! Thank you for releasing this so quickly!
I remember watching this in imax, after the detonation just waiting for the shockwave, never felt that much anticipation in my life. Even though I knew it was coming it still made me jump
I feel sorry for you guys for not seeing it in imax. Only interstellar moved me more.
I know I’m late, I was in a country that had no wifi for the past 10 months 😭 but I had to watch your review.
What’s funny is Strauss ended up causing his own demise. His paranoia & grudging nature grew from the moment Oppie called him a “lowly shoe salesman” before Einstein ignored his greeting. The non “trial” he set Oppie up with ended up being his non “trial” the scientists set him up with. Oppie was their role model, their hero, their inspiration. Strauss wasn’t going to get away with it. And this is all true, there is a detailed documentary called Oppenheimer & it confirms this entire movie.
If that isnt an oscar for best leading role and director I dont know what is...that movie was insane
Love your reaction to this guys. An incredible way to tell this story that is instantly my fav. One tiny thing that I've been thinking about since I first saw it, was that little nugget they dropped about JFK at the end. A then young senator who was a vote against Strauss for a cabinet position. I mean...why that detail? As vindictive as Strauss was against Oppenheimer, setting up everything to keep him away from National Security...and I say this admittedly without knowing much of the history after Strauss was passed over for his position, but I was left wondering if he had something to do with the assassination years later. I dont know that answer, but he delivered that chilling line "Power stays in the shadows" so the length he'd go to isn't a stretch I suppose. Anyway...incredibly important movie. Love your channel. Keep it up.
I saw it about showing the shift in history. Since Strauss was trying to damn Oppenheimer from the public opinion the fact that his failure was in part due to a man that the audience knows would eventually become president shows the eventual move away from the height of red scare politics.
Thank you for already posting part two!
Please please PLEASE watch Peaky Blinders now! It's about time the rest of the world knows just how great Cillian Murphy really is!
