Rangan missed out the most important scene in the film: Oppenheimer's conversation with Einstein. It sums up the entire film or the nature of humankind that Nolan wanted to deal with. Oppenheimer knew about the consequences much prior to it actually happening. Plus, further warnings by Einstein coming true only reinforces it. That is the only reason he doesn't fight any of them even when his wife asks "why don't you fight them", he knows the arc; the tragectory his life is taking or will eventually take. And the Gita reference clearly stats how he feels about killing all those Japanese. The "near zero" scene with Matt Damon also brings in the consequences. Simply put, he's a man who knows the consequences beforehand and has the guts in dealing them, and things running it's course, because he knows he's done the right thing. Surely, Oppenheimer is a man of conscience, but, only after he's poisoned the apple.
that was the whole point , one scene or one exposition scene is not enough to show his guilt haunting him from the inside , we know the whole ordeal he is in is caused due to his guilt not allowing him to partake in decisions which would lead to the development of further WMD , but we never really see him living with the guilt outside the fast paced dialogues in the trial scenes , it's more of a tell dont show through dialogues . So yeah , nolan did a really good job but oppenheimer defo isnt a true masterpiece . the talk with einstein that you talk about is a 50 second scene right at the very end , the films becomes more of a political drama than the exploration of his haunted psyche.
Everyone criticized Nolan for Tenet saying it was too complicated. And now that he has made a simple biopic people are criticising him saying it is not "Nolanesque" enough. I mean.....
I feel why don’t all films adapt to the IMAX format? At least from an aspect ratio perspective? It seems more immersive. It can at least streamline the movie watching costs a little bit more. But then yes, if everything becomes IMAX, then there’s no scope to make more money thru’ special IMAX screens.
The guilt of Oppenheimer is expressed through one of Emily blunt's dialogues where she asked oppie the reason behind putting himself through the ordeal of having his credentials verified by people who he knew were handpicked by strauss in the first place. Having read the Bhagavad Gita, Oppenheimer I believe wanted to detach himself from his achievements and being interrogated by humans who could he vaporised by the weapon he created is the only way to do so . Doing so to his detriment, humanised oppie which he desperately craved for after being the face of the bomb for years and that is how he absolved himself of hid guilt - by feeling human again
@@mavrckksk agreed he did a 50 min for thevar Magan . It was a good movie but don't think one should spend fifty minutes dissecting what's already a common theme among south cinema
Don't take baradwaj rangan oppenheimer review seriously. Because baradwaj rangan did not like nolan movies including dark knight, inception and Dunkirk. I think it is matter of taste. Because I believe if a person did not like a particular filmmaker films continuously more three times He will never enjoy that filmmaker films after that. Because He did not like that filmmaker aesthetics or film voice. That's why baradwaj rangan give good reviews for bad maniratnam films also . Because he likes his film voice. Everyone have own their inbuilt bias.
This is nolan career best film. Don't go to theater expecting nolan action film or mind bending stuff. It is dialogue heavy conversational drama like the social network.
Yep, the movie targets a small class of nerds. Everybody else will sleep until the few short sex scenes cause a few gasps in the audience, then it's back to the most boring movie you'll ever seen in your lifetime. Don't say I didn't warn you. If you take a date to this movie, you're NOT getting laid that night, that's for damn sure. She'll wonder what in the Hell did you just put her through and if this is the boring shit she has to look forward to with you.
This is the review I was waiting for...Oppenheimer is very much better than anything that has come out this year till now..and definetly the actors carry the film..(RDJ and Cillian are killing it) ...But of the two historical films that Nolan has made..Dunkirk is really the superior one. Kudos to the man for trying a biopic, something which feels out of league for him...And surely he has out performed many..But he surely hasn't out performed himself...Dark Knight still rules supreme. But still any cinema lover can enjoy Oppenheimer to its fullest. (the explosion sequence as Baddy mentioned is sureal to say the least)..And also: Oppenheimer>>>>>>>>Barbie..That verdict is final!!!
Barbie and Oppenheimer are completely different genre films. To know the clear picture Oppenheimer should be compared with other bio drama genre films of Hollywood. In that way Oppenheimer is not even 10% of legendary films like Schindler's List. This verdict is final 🥳
Ik... That Barbie and Oppenheimer fall in different genres... But when qn arises this or that... The answer is pretty simple at this point... Barbie is sooo not Greta's best work... Lady Bird and Little Women were miles better... The hype for Barbie is purely marketing and memes... And ofc the actors
@@Karthik-mw8kn ofc... Films in near future are never gonna come close to Schindler's List... The personal pain and hurt that has gone into that film is incomparable... Not to say Spielberg is goat
I felt silence during Trinity test was genius. Not only because it had the required cinemati impact, but I guess it was in line with Science as well. Light travels faster than speed. So if they were at a significant distance, then they would have actually seen light first before Sound eventually hitting them
Hardly disagree. This film is one of the most internal films I've seen in a long time. Of all the complexities of non linear story telling, it was easy to follow. That's brilliance in screenplay. The imax allowed the internal story to be more visual. I admit that the use of certain reveals at the end is not up to the standard of some of the better portions of the film. It didn't disturb as much as you are saying. Calling this film not psychological(I prefer internal), feels exaggerated when all I could follow in the film was the internal character of Oppenheimer. Yes the biopic shows more of Oppenheimer than just certain specific events. I feel it's more inventive and modern and able to consume so much of a story which also allows for multiple enjoyable repeated viewings. It also allows the audience to be challenged by the film. Me and my friends were discussing a lot about this film on this week. The advancements in storytelling are so natural. The other filmmakers attempts similar to this just feels indie or too experimental. With Nolan, it feels like cinema. And it didn't feel that way in a long time for me. The last time I felt this was way back during Interstellar.
Even Indian critics are now interested in mass movies. Looks like everyone expected: a mind-bending thriller from a biopic based on a book. No wonder these kinds of movies are not much appreciated here.
Christopher nolan is not masala filmmaker or at the same time he is not a art film director. He is a sensible mainstream filmmaker. Who often takes a complex narrative stories for mainstream audience. For for information The famous Directors including nolan, tarantino, David fincher, james cameron, spielberg all are mainstream director. There movie are very stylized for audience. The only current artistic filmmakers in holloywood are coen brothers, paul thomas anderson and scorsese. If you compare with French new wave filmmakers martin scorsese and pta also look masala filmmakers.
Masala director is such a worst thing to say to filmmaker. Director Hari is not artsy filmmaker at the same time Raj Kumar hirani is also not a artsy filmmaker mani ratnam also not a artsy filmmakers. So can say three of them are Masala directors. No we know who is Masala director and who is sensible mainstream filmmaker.
This was one of your best reviews and perhaps I am biased because I agree with everything you say- Ever since Nolan has stopped collaborating with his brother Jonathan Nolan his screenplays have felt devoid of character growth and psychological subtext. In inception Cobbs descent into every dream feels threatening and personal because his wife is a fantastic antagonist. The warring magicians in The Prestige have a personal stake in each others destruction. Interstellar is ultimately about the bond between father and daughter and the unfairness of time. Every major high concept event is tightly bound to character and personal loss - however from Dunkirk onwards this is lacking in Nolan’s filmography. Oppenheimer is definitely better than Tenet and Dunkirk but it is bland - engaging but not moving and has more style than substance. As far as biopics go I remember being moved by The Aviator. This film did not move me.
I don’t usually comment on these but I think you have completely lost touch of nuance and subtlety when you are searching for such an explicit emotional set piece like the daughter running towards her space destined father. The film was filled with countless such nuggets and nuances that re much more harrowing than that. Nolan is definitely a more sophisticated filmmaker than he was in 2014 and this film is certainly much denser and mature than Interstellar (albeit less entertaining for sure, but not every movie should be entertainment) I suggest you watch the movie once more, it’s too complex to be criticised on a first watch.
I agree with @rishabhaniket1952, i dnt knw y he is comparing original story like interstellar with adapted story, here Oppenheimer's main relationship is with the bomb he created, he is having guilt and also a question abt whether he is doing the right thing and his mind is compared to the rection happening in the bomb, these expressions and emotions can been seen in cillian face, this movie doesnt need a scene like interstellar coz here wat Oppenheimer is going to do is known and everyone knows wat will be the consequence of that, that itself shld make audience emotional, angry and horrified
Why should a movie be watched twice to understand? Why spend 6 hours to understand properly? I feel we can make complex stories yet understandable ones at one go itself
@@harishkp8631because,on first watch every one goes with some expectations on previous Nolan movies,so if you adjust yourself this as different than previous ones,it definitely works on second watch..
And why Baddie needs to watch again to support your bandwagon opinion? He formed his review based on his viewing perspective and you had yours. I wonder why Indian Nolan fans appear to be a Mysskin level pulithee 🧐
@@Shiva_Kanumella I meant in general, Nolan, or non Nolan, I think you can strike a balance to have a quite complex script where audience do a bit of work, but not so much to the extent where audience can't follow. This is something Nolan himself had told. I feel like interstellar is a film that fits perfectly
You need help. No, seriously. Most of us who saw the movie know all about every topic in the movie. Grown up nerds filled the theater. We know what fission is, mushroom clouds, Einstein, Oppenheimer, Russia, Germany, Nazis, Jews, America, WW2, Japan, Hiroshima, radiation, formulas, professors, Trinity, New Mexico. This movie didn't need IMAX, not even for the failed nuclear scene. That was the biggest letdown of it all. They inserted a few sex scenes, and that was the highlight of the movie.
One of the best drama i have ever seen in my entire life is The Remains of the Day. We see the proceedings through the eyes (psychological conflicts or lack of them because he is too naive to understand what's happening around him) Hopkin's character, Stevens, the butler of the famed Darlington Hall. What a beauty sans any ambitions for cinematic grandeur. I think Nolan's all time best are Interstellar and Dark Knight
Maybe you're wrong about certain things, here's why... a. imax for the best depth of field when the character is in an extreme close up. Or from the vastness of the district. b. the non linear format is what makes this film special from a simple literature piece. c. flashes are part of everyones psyche, its called trigger points. d. the three timelines the film is interspersed in, B&W definitely distinguishes it from an event of different time space. Also, philosophically it is when the truth comes out and everything is now B&W.
I beg to differ on this review. I was so moved by the movie and I feel that there is an enormous weight that’s been put on me and yet I’m unable to come out of it for close to week. Imagine the plight that Oppenheimer would have witnessed for his next 15 more years. The music and the story telling was so matured. His style of making movies have evolved a lot. This movie will be a masterclass for years to come
Ivan kadakan kirkan This is the best Nolan film till date guys! Dont miss this in theatres and especially IMAX! Imax is a format used to make the centre point more focused while the background keeps moving. Indha aalu edhadhu solanum nu soluvaan
Disagree with so much in the review.. it doesn’t NEED imax, but it does add to the movie; the black and white vs colour really helped establish the timelines for me.. and I felt the guilt weighing on Oppenheimer in so many scenes.. I feel BR had different expectations from a “Nolan film”… but it goes to show how different people experience things differently
The trinity bomb explosion beautifully captured by Nolan..biopic warped with science,geopolitics & ethical dilemmas..startling performance by Cillian Murphy
Hey Baddy when you told you were not able to feel the guilt of character I felt it, 1. The exact instance where Oppie addresses the gathering and they clap for him, he hesitates and tells he is very proud of them, then he sees them burn in an imaginary nuclear fire, where the camera clearly shows how guilt ridden Oppenheimer is, his hallucinations how us that. 2. He wants to stop the bombing, he wants to use it predominantly against the Nazis but the fact that Japan is targeted affects Oppenheimer very badly. It is his guilt. 3. The scene where he talks to Truman and expresses his guilt and Truman tells that it is just he who has dropped the bomb and not Oppie, we feel his guilt. 4. The very fact that he tries so hard to sabotage the H bomb is in itself a sign of guilt. 5. The place where he tells Einstein that he has started a chain reaction already is an indirect admission of his guilt. 6. The interrogation scene where everything comes to a high point between Oppie and Robb, where Robb clearly tells that "you were not feeling guilty in 1942, but now you are feeling so" (not exactly rephrased, but something in similar lines) There were so many places where we were able to feel it. I remember seeing the interview with GVM, where you were talking about Paavai coming into Muthu's life through colour palette.......you were able to decode that much and you weren't able to see/feel Oppenheimer's guilt is surprising.
@@srinilganilson339 Yeah, there were a lot of things that Baddy said that were way off his reviewing standards, looks like he has a dislike for Nolan creations. IDK why but "BASELESS" IS RIGHT WAY TO PUT IT, as you have mentioned!!
It's simple that if he didn't notice it, he didn't notice it. If the film doesn't engage a person from the beginning, we wouldn't be inclined to look at all the minor details and vice versa. U felt the emotions doesn't mean BR should feel right? BTW I also didn't like Oppenheimer. Too fast paced and relentless
@@aadeshramaswamy3445 No no I am really not bothered about anyone liking or not linking the film and neither do I expect anyone to notice it, my entire point was that Baddy who does a lot of Decoding in askBR sessions, wasn't able to feel this was a bit of a surprise for me...and remember really well, I am entitled to share my opinion here, I just questioned him and never wanted him to like it, and I don't give a damn about likes and dislikes. Eat digene and sleep well. You can never speak for someone else. Cheers!
@@aadeshramaswamy3445 And BTW, the film has grossed close to a billion, so at this stage there are a lot of people who loved the film and thus will never give a damn about whefher aadesh likes it or not.
Stop being a crybaby BR. What r u expecting in a Biopic of Oppenheimer, some scifi action spectacle? Film needed imax to understand the depth of emotion in closeup (on the contrary imagine watching this movie on a mobile phone). And also the Trinity Test.
I feel like movie was an window into the book American Prometheus it's like an entry bait to read about the incident and history it's like a great professors lecture which inspires you to reaserch and read more about the subject
There is inherent problem with these critics . They watch a lotta films so many times that when they watch a fresh movie they almost always try to relate with something else which probably won’t satisfy their expectations. Deposition scene was similar to godfather 2 , seriously bruh , does it even matter to an average or an above average audience like me .
Yeah bro, I got instantly irritated after BR mentioned about the court scene reference. Just because there is a court scene in a movie, doesn’t mean that it has something to do with godfather part 2. I like both the movies, but we can’t just say that a scene in a movie is inspired from another movie just because it has the same . Like is he trying to say that a movie that has original ideas shouldn’t have a court scene, just because it is “similar” to the one in godfather part 2?
I saw a lot of similarity in his personality to Arjun from The Bhagavad Gita. He's a tool and he happens to be the only only who can wage this war, so he does. But the questioning and a little bit of soul searching happens after, but during.
No BR This is a masterpiece If you see the background music, some thing seems asynchronous in 'Can you hear the music?' That is representing his paradoxical nature Watch it a couple of times, you will appreciate every scene
this is a really good review but I personally thought that the decision to not show Oppenheimer's inner voice/monologue was an interesting choice cause I think a monologue would have given a clear insight into his character and I don't think Nolan wanted that. There's a scene where that Teller says to Oppenheimer that nobody knows what you really believe in cause you yourself don't know what you truly believe, and I think that kinda summed him up. He remained conflicted; torn between pride cause of his scientific accomplishment and guilt because of the absolute devastation it led to. And I think Nolan wanted us to stay conflicted about him too, hence no monologue.
The screenplay was the major highlight of this movie with the nonlinear narrative used to convey the story. Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr were on top of their game and the 2nd Half was done really well. For me, this movie is like a management lesson that the SYSTEM would be do anything to keep itself running and its hands clean.
I knew very well that It was Lugwig, but had the same feeling as you had, especially the climax scene was so Zimmer like, guess Nolan gets it from his composers and Ludwig is that kind of a composer.
Just a thought on Black & White Vs Colour: Strauss views world in Black and white ( his viewpoints Vs Rest) where as Oppenheimer is not bound by any political or religious philosophy hence colours
Just because there is a court scene in a movie, doesn’t mean that it has something to do with godfather part 2. I like both the movies, but we can’t just say that a scene in a movie is inspired from another movie just because it has the same .
4:53 "We never feel the weight of the guilt", the scenes like getting lost in the void in the speech part and becoming a crybaby in front of President part not enough?! You expected Oppenheimer to shout it out loud or what ;)
I think he needs to rewatch the movie... Every movie of Nolan's should be watched 2 times at least before reviewing.... You just can not grasp and marinate all at once... No matter how professional and good you are in reviewing...
Acting of Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey are applaudable , Openheimer is not like any of Nolan's movie where you are left with a flavour afterwards to think about , there was no aww moment in This movie . The guilt and the repentance shown by Murphy in the end played beautifully . But there are no special effects just a bomb testing rest is an kind of office politics at the end
This one of the best reviews by far. What I would like to ask you is as an independent filmmaker Evn though movie as not come out, could have interviewes regarding the making even though the product has come out, are you open to get to know those things?
I completely disagree with this review; the film is about Oppenheimer's guilt during the construction of the bomb in Los Alamos and after it was exploded in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, its not a biopic
After looking at the general response to the film online, I thought this might be the film that can change BR’s outlook towards Nolan & his films. Seems this is not it, YET.
I've been grappling with the notion that Oppenheimer is celebrated as the 'Father of the Atomic Bomb,' when in fact, his direct scientific contributions to its discovery or invention were minimal. He didn't uncover the concept of fission, nor did he discern radioactive materials, but rather oversaw the Manhattan Project. In contrast, Nambi Narayanan's enormous contributions to Indian Space research have not received the same level of recognition. Despite enduring a comparable ordeal of unjust accusations like Oppenheimer, Narayanan's story hasn't been widely embraced or publicized. It's disappointing to see how the movie about his life wasn't met with the same acclaim. I can't help but wonder if Christopher Nolan's involvement is the driving force behind the buzz around the Oppenheimer movie. It's disheartening to see the vast attention English movies receive compared to regional language films of similar caliber. We should not neglect the significant narratives just because they're told in a regional language.
There is a difference, I mean the stories and struggles are different.In Nambi Narayanan's story it is about a rocket and we people our own Indian people we put bad allegations on him by believing that the media said and it is right and later he got his recognition and the same media said that the allegations on him are false but where as in Oppenheimer's story it is completely different it about the destruction the bomb that has the capacity to destroy the world and already been used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki where many people were dead and the effect of the bomb is still there till the date and the movie is complete first person point of view it is completely in the perspective of Oppenheimer what was his mental state before creating a bomb and after creating a bomb and his regret of creating it and where as the allegations(communist) was just made by misunderstanding by Lewis Strauss. And you said movie(Rocketry) did not get any recognition that's where you are wrong it got its recognition and I don't whether you know or not ther many movies that many people don't even know existed like The theory of everything, A man who knew infinity, Steve jobs, etc. It completely depends. Remember Oppenheimer felt bad, regret till his last breath which are completely different. One more thing the movie Oppenheimer is completely same as that was written in the book and no modifications were made but as I have seen some biopics there are many modifications wereade to the actual story happened. An this not to disrespect any one, according to my knowledge because I have seen some biographies hollywood directors are far more good at making biographies than any other directors. I am going to become director in the feature and my inspirations are Christopher nolan, James cameron, Denis Villeneuve, Wes Anderson, Satyajit ray, SS rajamouli, Shankar. As an aspiring director I am telling to the one thing "When you are watching biographies just don't watch them just feel them."
Detonation and Oppie's address scene after detonation were master-class. Everything else was just uneventful and hardly trying to create any interest..
I saw this movie on a huge IMAX screen on the Carnival Vista cruise ship. The movie absolutely SUCKS. The nuclear scene, if you can call it that, was very disappointing. It didn't look like the mushroom cloud from the actual blast. I don't know why they chose to under-deliver on this part of the movie. All you get from this movie is head bobbing from trying to stay awake during the MANY extended jibberish scenes talking much about nothing. I'm serious, guys. How in the HELL is this movie even in the news?
The funny thing is I was explaining to my friend how the film is giving a cinematic experience similar to how Lawrence of Arabia did. It does in my opinion. More story is not bad. Exposition is not bad. We can't try to put if the film has this, it's not good storytelling. I think we need to be more open to see a bad storytelling technique on one film might be a good technique in another. I watch a lot of anime. So, exposition was never a reason for me to hate a film if it works.
This is the last movie in the world, which needed Imax. As baddy said, we can’t feel anything for the main character. Robert Downey’s character was wasted. Only tense music and intercut scenes cannot make a movie masterpiece. Nolan reached his prime in interstellar and going downhill after that. Only Americans can relate to this movie like dunkrik was relatable to europeans. Hope nolan makes flawless movies like interstellar, prestige in the future. But nolan movies will survive till the time people believes that watching nolan movies makes them intellectuals.
nolan is not one for psychological complexity???? are u serious mate??? what abt tkr ? wt abt interstellar? and iam failing to understand ur perspective here…so you want to see the way oppenheimer suffered internally after the bombings? what if he doesnt feel so bad about it? how can u say a 100% that he felt actually bad?? nolan here is trying to escape such stereotypes of being a morally correct man deep inside… he rather focused on the moral ambiguities that might be there inside oppenheimers head..thats why we never see oppenheimer grieving so much.. u can see tge other possible version of oppenheimer if u have paid close look into straws argument that opprnheimer just wanted to be the most important person on earth and has been selfish regarding that? the great thing about history is u never know whos right..thats the beauty..and u want it to ve a simple black and white world rather than embracing the shades of grey within each person
I really get why the aspect of it saying it why it was shot in imax and the black and white scenes but those who have really watched this in 70mm or laser get imax equipped to screen 1.43:1 film would know the immersiveness of it. I know it’s only 30 theatres in the whole world doing it and even more doing it in laser IMAX. But most of audience can just watch this movie in regular screening that going to the so called imax that exists in India. Which is FYI fake imax dubbed as LieMax
You have forgotten your own criticism of the scene in 2014 from Interstellar movie where you mentioned Nolan conveniently ignores the difficulty of showing the actual rocket launch and focuses just on the countdowna as cost saving or something like that. Now in 2023 you are praising the very same scene from interstellar. At this point I stopped watching this review & moved to Sudhir Srinivasan's and Second Show's. You've aged badly. Didn't like your upbeat for Bigil as well. And manymore big movies where your crtitics/praisings didn't reflect the actual movie.
I am still in awe of Interstellar even after 10 years. Yesterday I watched Oppenheimer and not even one scene got registered in my mind . I'm trying to remember the face of Oppy's brother in the movie but I couldn't as so many people and conversations come and go in the movie and nothing gets registered. All moments and character are rushed through in an attempt to dump everything in one movie resulting in the audience not getting emotionally tied to the protagonist or any of the main characters. When Oppenheimer faces an unfair trial , the audience feels like who cares. And the A-bomb scene ,hmm even some one with 10 litres of kerosene could have done a better job. Visually, emotionally a bland movie. Wasted 3 hrs.

So if they were at a significant distance, then they would have actually seen light first before Sound eventually hitting them
Exactly and knowing Nolan, he would have timed it to perfection based on the distance of the explosion and the watching area.
Exactly What I was murmuring to my girlfriend during that scene which did made her more sleepy than she already was, lol!!!

Hardly disagree. This film is one of the most internal films I've seen in a long time. Of all the complexities of non linear story telling, it was easy to follow. That's brilliance in screenplay. The imax allowed the internal story to be more visual. I admit that the use of certain reveals at the end is not up to the standard of some of the better portions of the film. It didn't disturb as much as you are saying. Calling this film not psychological(I prefer internal), feels exaggerated when all I could follow in the film was the internal character of Oppenheimer. Yes the biopic shows more of Oppenheimer than just certain specific events. I feel it's more inventive and modern and able to consume so much of a story which also allows for multiple enjoyable repeated viewings. It also allows the audience to be challenged by the film. Me and my friends were discussing a lot about this film on this week. The advancements in storytelling are so natural. The other filmmakers attempts similar to this just feels indie or too experimental. With Nolan, it feels like cinema. And it didn't feel that way in a long time for me. The last time I felt this was way back during Interstellar.
Even Indian critics are now interested in mass movies. Looks like everyone expected: a mind-bending thriller from a biopic based on a book. No wonder these kinds of movies are not much appreciated here.
Nolan is masala director of Hollywood
Blud thinks Nolan is art house😂
Christopher nolan is not masala filmmaker or at the same time he is not a art film director. He is a sensible mainstream filmmaker. Who often takes a complex narrative stories for mainstream audience. For for information The famous Directors including nolan, tarantino, David fincher, james cameron, spielberg all are mainstream director. There movie are very stylized for audience. The only current artistic filmmakers in holloywood are coen brothers, paul thomas anderson and scorsese. If you compare with French new wave filmmakers martin scorsese and pta also look masala filmmakers.
Masala director is such a worst thing to say to filmmaker. Director Hari is not artsy filmmaker at the same time Raj Kumar hirani is also not a artsy filmmaker mani ratnam also not a artsy filmmakers. So can say three of them are Masala directors. No we know who is Masala director and who is sensible mainstream filmmaker.
@@john24554 very true! But people think just because it's Nolan the film is greatest thing to ever exist and is invalid of criticism.
This was one of your best reviews and perhaps I am biased because I agree with everything you say- Ever since Nolan has stopped collaborating with his brother Jonathan Nolan his screenplays have felt devoid of character growth and psychological subtext. In inception Cobbs descent into every dream feels threatening and personal because his wife is a fantastic antagonist. The warring magicians in The Prestige have a personal stake in each others destruction. Interstellar is ultimately about the bond between father and daughter and the unfairness of time. Every major high concept event is tightly bound to character and personal loss - however from Dunkirk onwards this is lacking in Nolan’s filmography. Oppenheimer is definitely better than Tenet and Dunkirk but it is bland - engaging but not moving and has more style than substance. As far as biopics go I remember being moved by The Aviator. This film did not move me.
I don’t usually comment on these but I think you have completely lost touch of nuance and subtlety when you are searching for such an explicit emotional set piece like the daughter running towards her space destined father. The film was filled with countless such nuggets and nuances that re much more harrowing than that. Nolan is definitely a more sophisticated filmmaker than he was in 2014 and this film is certainly much denser and mature than Interstellar (albeit less entertaining for sure, but not every movie should be entertainment) I suggest you watch the movie once more, it’s too complex to be criticised on a first watch.
I agree with @rishabhaniket1952, i dnt knw y he is comparing original story like interstellar with adapted story, here Oppenheimer's main relationship is with the bomb he created, he is having guilt and also a question abt whether he is doing the right thing and his mind is compared to the rection happening in the bomb, these expressions and emotions can been seen in cillian face, this movie doesnt need a scene like interstellar coz here wat Oppenheimer is going to do is known and everyone knows wat will be the consequence of that, that itself shld make audience emotional, angry and horrified
Why should a movie be watched twice to understand? Why spend 6 hours to understand properly? I feel we can make complex stories yet understandable ones at one go itself
@@harishkp8631because,on first watch every one goes with some expectations on previous Nolan movies,so if you adjust yourself this as different than previous ones,it definitely works on second watch..
And why Baddie needs to watch again to support your bandwagon opinion? He formed his review based on his viewing perspective and you had yours. I wonder why Indian Nolan fans appear to be a Mysskin level pulithee 🧐
@@Shiva_Kanumella I meant in general, Nolan, or non Nolan, I think you can strike a balance to have a quite complex script where audience do a bit of work, but not so much to the extent where audience can't follow. This is something Nolan himself had told. I feel like interstellar is a film that fits perfectly
One of the best movies I have seen all this year. If you know about oppie you would get a lot more. RDJ and Cillian killed it. It was a masterpiece
You need help. No, seriously. Most of us who saw the movie know all about every topic in the movie. Grown up nerds filled the theater. We know what fission is, mushroom clouds, Einstein, Oppenheimer, Russia, Germany, Nazis, Jews, America, WW2, Japan, Hiroshima, radiation, formulas, professors, Trinity, New Mexico. This movie didn't need IMAX, not even for the failed nuclear scene. That was the biggest letdown of it all. They inserted a few sex scenes, and that was the highlight of the movie.

For Movies I prefer watch every movie, for a film I prefer Nolan and Tarantino and Speilberg.
always prefer Spielberg over anyone else: He is the absolute unrivalled GOAT!!
Spielberg above everyone ❤
Man had delivered classics and blockbusters in every genres.
One of the best drama i have ever seen in my entire life is The Remains of the Day. We see the proceedings through the eyes (psychological conflicts or lack of them because he is too naive to understand what's happening around him) Hopkin's character, Stevens, the butler of the famed Darlington Hall. What a beauty sans any ambitions for cinematic grandeur. I think Nolan's all time best are Interstellar and Dark Knight
Maybe you're wrong about certain things, here's why...
a. imax for the best depth of field when the character is in an extreme close up. Or from the vastness of the district.
b. the non linear format is what makes this film special from a simple literature piece.
c. flashes are part of everyones psyche, its called trigger points.
d. the three timelines the film is interspersed in, B&W definitely distinguishes it from an event of different time space. Also, philosophically it is when the truth comes out and everything is now B&W.
@TechMonstaaa Kindly translate to english if possible. Thanks!
I beg to differ on this review. I was so moved by the movie and I feel that there is an enormous weight that’s been put on me and yet I’m unable to come out of it for close to week.
Imagine the plight that Oppenheimer would have witnessed for his next 15 more years.
The music and the story telling was so matured. His style of making movies have evolved a lot. This movie will be a masterclass for years to come

This is the best Nolan film till date guys! Dont miss this in theatres and especially IMAX!
Imax is a format used to make the centre point more focused while the background keeps moving.

Oppenheimer is one of the best drama + tragedy in recent times.
Disagree with so much in the review.. it doesn’t NEED imax, but it does add to the movie; the black and white vs colour really helped establish the timelines for me.. and I felt the guilt weighing on Oppenheimer in so many scenes.. I feel BR had different expectations from a “Nolan film”… but it goes to show how different people experience things differently
The trinity bomb explosion beautifully captured by Nolan..biopic warped with science,geopolitics & ethical dilemmas..startling performance by Cillian Murphy
Hey Baddy when you told you were not able to feel the guilt of character I felt it,
1. The exact instance where Oppie addresses the gathering and they clap for him, he hesitates and tells he is very proud of them, then he sees them burn in an imaginary nuclear fire, where the camera clearly shows how guilt ridden Oppenheimer is, his hallucinations how us that.
2. He wants to stop the bombing, he wants to use it predominantly against the Nazis but the fact that Japan is targeted affects Oppenheimer very badly. It is his guilt.
3. The scene where he talks to Truman and expresses his guilt and Truman tells that it is just he who has dropped the bomb and not Oppie, we feel his guilt.
4. The very fact that he tries so hard to sabotage the H bomb is in itself a sign of guilt.
5. The place where he tells Einstein that he has started a chain reaction already is an indirect admission of his guilt.
6. The interrogation scene where everything comes to a high point between Oppie and Robb, where Robb clearly tells that "you were not feeling guilty in 1942, but now you are feeling so" (not exactly rephrased, but something in similar lines)
There were so many places where we were able to feel it.
I remember seeing the interview with GVM, where you were talking about Paavai coming into Muthu's life through colour palette.......you were able to decode that much and you weren't able to see/feel Oppenheimer's guilt is surprising.
Just a critique who thinks he is an intellectual, pointing out baseless things about the movie
@@srinilganilson339 Yeah, there were a lot of things that Baddy said that were way off his reviewing standards, looks like he has a dislike for Nolan creations. IDK why but "BASELESS" IS RIGHT WAY TO PUT IT, as you have mentioned!!
It's simple that if he didn't notice it, he didn't notice it. If the film doesn't engage a person from the beginning, we wouldn't be inclined to look at all the minor details and vice versa. U felt the emotions doesn't mean BR should feel right?
BTW I also didn't like Oppenheimer. Too fast paced and relentless
@@aadeshramaswamy3445 No no I am really not bothered about anyone liking or not linking the film and neither do I expect anyone to notice it, my entire point was that Baddy who does a lot of Decoding in askBR sessions, wasn't able to feel this was a bit of a surprise for me...and remember really well, I am entitled to share my opinion here, I just questioned him and never wanted him to like it, and I don't give a damn about likes and dislikes. Eat digene and sleep well. You can never speak for someone else. Cheers!
@@aadeshramaswamy3445 And BTW, the film has grossed close to a billion, so at this stage there are a lot of people who loved the film and thus will never give a damn about whefher aadesh likes it or not.
Forget everything,
Baradwaj sir's new look is just wow..
This is not interstellar and we only see what its from the book. No other additional things from Oppenheimer mind
Brilliant review as usual. Felt the same while watching this with a tad bit underwhelmed being a Nolan fanboy.
Agree and well put sir, something was lacking. And in some parts the dialogues drowned with loud bgms.
Stop being a crybaby BR. What r u expecting in a Biopic of Oppenheimer, some scifi action spectacle?
Film needed imax to understand the depth of emotion in closeup (on the contrary imagine watching this movie on a mobile phone). And also the Trinity Test.
I feel like movie was an window into the book American Prometheus it's like an entry bait to read about the incident and history it's like a great professors lecture which inspires you to reaserch and read more about the subject
There is inherent problem with these critics . They watch a lotta films so many times that when they watch a fresh movie they almost always try to relate with something else which probably won’t satisfy their expectations. Deposition scene was similar to godfather 2 , seriously bruh , does it even matter to an average or an above average audience like me .
Yeah bro, I got instantly irritated after BR mentioned about the court scene reference. Just because there is a court scene in a movie, doesn’t mean that it has something to do with godfather part 2. I like both the movies, but we can’t just say that a scene in a movie is inspired from another movie just because it has the same .
Like is he trying to say that a movie that has original ideas shouldn’t have a court scene, just because it is “similar” to the one in godfather part 2?
Such a brilliant movie with engaging storytelling. For a history lover like me, this movie ticked all the boxes and I thoroughly enjoyed it
I saw a lot of similarity in his personality to Arjun from The Bhagavad Gita. He's a tool and he happens to be the only only who can wage this war, so he does. But the questioning and a little bit of soul searching happens after, but during.
Love this take
No BR
This is a masterpiece
If you see the background music, some thing seems asynchronous in 'Can you hear the music?'
That is representing his paradoxical nature
Watch it a couple of times, you will appreciate every scene
I feel you talking about “Interstelllars” smartness - is only to make us believe that you have what it takes to criticise a Phenom 😅
this is a really good review but I personally thought that the decision to not show Oppenheimer's inner voice/monologue was an interesting choice cause I think a monologue would have given a clear insight into his character and I don't think Nolan wanted that. There's a scene where that Teller says to Oppenheimer that nobody knows what you really believe in cause you yourself don't know what you truly believe, and I think that kinda summed him up. He remained conflicted; torn between pride cause of his scientific accomplishment and guilt because of the absolute devastation it led to. And I think Nolan wanted us to stay conflicted about him too, hence no monologue.
Should have spent a minute or 2 reflecting on Cillian Murphys performance
The screenplay was the major highlight of this movie with the nonlinear narrative used to convey the story.
Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr were on top of their game and the 2nd Half was done really well.
For me, this movie is like a management lesson that the SYSTEM would be do anything to keep itself running and its hands clean.
Nolan’s most impressive work after Memento!
Did Nolan reallymade this movie?!!
Tenet is also good
@@npngamers7659 Tenet was amazing ❤️

huh? you sure about that? prestige, inception, interstellar?
You missed one point and that is peril of McCarthyism. He portrayed that era well. Nolan has done a commendable job.
Until the credits rolled I thought oppenheimer was scored by hans zimmer. Anybody felt the same?
I knew very well that It was Lugwig, but had the same feeling as you had, especially the climax scene was so Zimmer like, guess Nolan gets it from his composers and Ludwig is that kind of a composer.
Sir, please review, kannada film..
Hostel hudugaru bekagiddare..
(Hostel boys wanted)
Just a thought on Black & White Vs Colour:
Strauss views world in Black and white ( his viewpoints Vs Rest) where as Oppenheimer is not bound by any political or religious philosophy hence colours
Thank you for this analysis. Hope you upload longer breakdown of this film sometime in future.
Just because there is a court scene in a movie, doesn’t mean that it has something to do with godfather part 2. I like both the movies, but we can’t just say that a scene in a movie is inspired from another movie just because it has the same .
4:53 "We never feel the weight of the guilt", the scenes like getting lost in the void in the speech part and becoming a crybaby in front of President part not enough?! You expected Oppenheimer to shout it out loud or what ;)
dude wanted oppenheimer to come out of screen and justify himself or feel bad about himself😂
Just because a scene exists doesn't mean we have to feel the effect. There are other elements that has to work
(This is the last)
Bold review Rangan...respect
I think he needs to rewatch the movie...
Every movie of Nolan's should be watched 2 times at least before reviewing....
You just can not grasp and marinate all at once...
No matter how professional and good you are in reviewing...
Fantastic review sir! Every point is on point…
Acting of Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey are applaudable , Openheimer is not like any of Nolan's movie where you are left with a flavour afterwards to think about , there was no aww moment in This movie . The guilt and the repentance shown by Murphy in the end played beautifully . But there are no special effects just a bomb testing rest is an kind of office politics at the end
Climax scene between Einstein was important scene.. may be baddy left well before that 😅... it's the best film I have seen this year
Mannn I felt the same, you have written it here, that was the most important scene of admission of Oppenheimer's guilt, how did Baddy Miss that????
Rather watching the movie, it’s the pleasure of watching his review. Cannot watch any other reviews.
This one of the best reviews by far. What I would like to ask you is as an independent filmmaker Evn though movie as not come out, could have interviewes regarding the making even though the product has come out, are you open to get to know those things?
I completely disagree with this review; the film is about Oppenheimer's guilt during the construction of the bomb in Los Alamos and after it was exploded in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, its not a biopic
Exactly my feeling. IMAX was a bit overkill, IMO.
Mixi oduma odatha ?
After looking at the general response to the film online, I thought this might be the film that can change BR’s outlook towards Nolan & his films. Seems this is not it, YET.
Lol BR doesn’t want to give western directors any credit, just wants to poke holes to be different than the lot
B/W frames are meant from the perspective of Oppenheimer's nemisis Lewis Strauss!!!
The black and white portions are there because of Lewis Strauss and the way he sees things. Black and white.
I've been grappling with the notion that Oppenheimer is celebrated as the 'Father of the Atomic Bomb,' when in fact, his direct scientific contributions to its discovery or invention were minimal. He didn't uncover the concept of fission, nor did he discern radioactive materials, but rather oversaw the Manhattan Project.
In contrast, Nambi Narayanan's enormous contributions to Indian Space research have not received the same level of recognition. Despite enduring a comparable ordeal of unjust accusations like Oppenheimer, Narayanan's story hasn't been widely embraced or publicized. It's disappointing to see how the movie about his life wasn't met with the same acclaim.
I can't help but wonder if Christopher Nolan's involvement is the driving force behind the buzz around the Oppenheimer movie. It's disheartening to see the vast attention English movies receive compared to regional language films of similar caliber. We should not neglect the significant narratives just because they're told in a regional language.
I think you’re missing the point here.
Nolan’s Oppenheimer is good story made decent
Madhavan’s Nambi Narayanan is great story made pathetic
There is a difference, I mean the stories and struggles are different.In Nambi Narayanan's story it is about a rocket and we people our own Indian people we put bad allegations on him by believing that the media said and it is right and later he got his recognition and the same media said that the allegations on him are false but where as in Oppenheimer's story it is completely different it about the destruction the bomb that has the capacity to destroy the world and already been used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki where many people were dead and the effect of the bomb is still there till the date and the movie is complete first person point of view it is completely in the perspective of Oppenheimer what was his mental state before creating a bomb and after creating a bomb and his regret of creating it and where as the allegations(communist) was just made by misunderstanding by Lewis Strauss. And you said movie(Rocketry) did not get any recognition that's where you are wrong it got its recognition and I don't whether you know or not ther many movies that many people don't even know existed like The theory of everything, A man who knew infinity, Steve jobs, etc. It completely depends. Remember Oppenheimer felt bad, regret till his last breath which are completely different. One more thing the movie Oppenheimer is completely same as that was written in the book and no modifications were made but as I have seen some biopics there are many modifications wereade to the actual story happened. An this not to disrespect any one, according to my knowledge because I have seen some biographies hollywood directors are far more good at making biographies than any other directors. I am going to become director in the feature and my inspirations are Christopher nolan, James cameron, Denis Villeneuve, Wes Anderson, Satyajit ray, SS rajamouli, Shankar. As an aspiring director I am telling to the one thing "When you are watching biographies just don't watch them just feel them."
Maybe Nolan wants to use the Maximum resolution possible today. Imax 70 mm may be more than 18K, so it is VERY future proof😂
Thank you for this review! It just perfectly capturrd my emotions!
Baddy as articulate as always, I dont agree with all he said but loved his take
I was really bored. Without the background score this felt just like reading a 300 page law manual.
Detonation and Oppie's address scene after detonation were master-class. Everything else was just uneventful and hardly trying to create any interest..
I saw this movie on a huge IMAX screen on the Carnival Vista cruise ship. The movie absolutely SUCKS. The nuclear scene, if you can call it that, was very disappointing. It didn't look like the mushroom cloud from the actual blast. I don't know why they chose to under-deliver on this part of the movie. All you get from this movie is head bobbing from trying to stay awake during the MANY extended jibberish scenes talking much about nothing. I'm serious, guys. How in the HELL is this movie even in the news?
To divert attention away from Sound of Freedom and it is working...
The funny thing is I was explaining to my friend how the film is giving a cinematic experience similar to how Lawrence of Arabia did. It does in my opinion. More story is not bad. Exposition is not bad. We can't try to put if the film has this, it's not good storytelling. I think we need to be more open to see a bad storytelling technique on one film might be a good technique in another. I watch a lot of anime. So, exposition was never a reason for me to hate a film if it works.
OK , thet fact wiht comparison with LOA was helpful
This film was a cinematic case study on American Prometheus!❤
This is the last movie in the world, which needed Imax. As baddy said, we can’t feel anything for the main character. Robert Downey’s character was wasted. Only tense music and intercut scenes cannot make a movie masterpiece. Nolan reached his prime in interstellar and going downhill after that. Only Americans can relate to this movie like dunkrik was relatable to europeans. Hope nolan makes flawless movies like interstellar, prestige in the future. But nolan movies will survive till the time people believes that watching nolan movies makes them intellectuals.
Exactly
Imax was the marketing device for the movie.
That Bhagawath Gita bedroom scene was not necessary and called for 😑that Bhagawath Gita reference could have been dealt with respect
Did he forget it was a biopic / non-fiction? the court scenes are as they happened what else could be done.?
Black and white is objective and colored is subjective!
One third of the film is pure cheese and yes no imax needed here
Thank you for speaking the truth Baradwaj Rangan. Sick of pretentious effusive reviews.
Excellent review sir !! Especially the critical points amongst the hype , not his very best . Though not his worst
nolan is not one for psychological complexity???? are u serious mate??? what abt tkr ? wt abt interstellar? and iam failing to understand ur perspective here…so you want to see the way oppenheimer suffered internally after the bombings? what if he doesnt feel so bad about it? how can u say a 100% that he felt actually bad?? nolan here is trying to escape such stereotypes of being a morally correct man deep inside… he rather focused on the moral ambiguities that might be there inside oppenheimers head..thats why we never see oppenheimer grieving so much.. u can see tge other possible version of oppenheimer if u have paid close look into straws argument that opprnheimer just wanted to be the most important person on earth and has been selfish regarding that? the great thing about history is u never know whos right..thats the beauty..and u want it to ve a simple black and white world rather than embracing the shades of grey within each person
Perfect analysis. Completely concur with the critics views on the movie 👍🏾
Why no review of Barbie?? Yet?? Please do your review
You have gone into the film with expectations. Bad. The film is beautiful

Please review Barbie movie as well
Can't agree more. Great review
Br is sounds more like a poet than a film critic
Sir please can we have a video of your thoughts on Project K glimpse
Also this film did not need Robert Downey jr track at all this is half baked film

Thalaivarey tamil apdiye oru review podunga, again opphenmair movie conversation feel varuthu😅
I really get why the aspect of it saying it why it was shot in imax and the black and white scenes but those who have really watched this in 70mm or laser get imax equipped to screen 1.43:1 film would know the immersiveness of it. I know it’s only 30 theatres in the whole world doing it and even more doing it in laser IMAX. But most of audience can just watch this movie in regular screening that going to the so called imax that exists in India. Which is FYI fake imax dubbed as LieMax
You have forgotten your own criticism of the scene in 2014 from Interstellar movie where you mentioned Nolan conveniently ignores the difficulty of showing the actual rocket launch and focuses just on the countdowna as cost saving or something like that. Now in 2023 you are praising the very same scene from interstellar. At this point I stopped watching this review & moved to Sudhir Srinivasan's and Second Show's. You've aged badly. Didn't like your upbeat for Bigil as well. And manymore big movies where your crtitics/praisings didn't reflect the actual movie.
And baddy still hates nolan😂😂i hoping it changes one day
Stellar review! My thoughts exactly.
I feel I'd have gotten more out of a RUclips documentary than watching Oppenheimer.
Fantastic review, Baddy! No critic has said it better.
I am still in awe of Interstellar even after 10 years. Yesterday I watched Oppenheimer and not even one scene got registered in my mind . I'm trying to remember the face of Oppy's brother in the movie but I couldn't as so many people and conversations come and go in the movie and nothing gets registered. All moments and character are rushed through in an attempt to dump everything in one movie resulting in the audience not getting emotionally tied to the protagonist or any of the main characters. When Oppenheimer faces an unfair trial , the audience feels like who cares. And the A-bomb scene ,hmm even some one with 10 litres of kerosene could have done a better job. Visually, emotionally a bland movie.
Wasted 3 hrs.
I liked skimming through Wikipedia. Felt the same.
Nolan last great movie was The dark knight, he copied Matrix to make inception and since then he is on a downhill. Such a potential has gone waste.
Why do you think inception is a copy of matrix?
