      This and the Dune movies were easily few of the best movies we watched in the last years. So much nuance, great acting all around and amazing cinematography to boot.
      I do love you guys for always choosing great quality content, this thing alone probably makes you my favorite reaction channel since the hotd/got days (well plus the amazing banter). And while the boys is a severely overrated show I do the blind eyes, most of the time you do banger after banger after all, great movie choices, even good anime (like death note), topping quality with Chernobyl and even starting True Detective and Peaky blinders series now, which are absolutely BEYOND fantastic journeys.
      Cheers to the fantastic australian DUO!

      The Nukes were a necessary evil. They saved millions of Japanese, and atleast a million allied soldiers. The Japanese were starving to death, but still had a three million man army left, and were never going to surrender, with a three million man army willing to fight for the homeland. Also Nuclear weapons did create a peace the world had never seen before. They prevented the third world war, and all the wars since then haven’t even added up to how many died in WW2. Hence why it has been called the “Long Peace”. As hard as is to grasp, the invention of nukes were objectively, and overall…. a good thing. Human beings needed the guarantee of total destruction to keep themselves somewhat in check.

      If I remember correctly, OPPENHEIMER (2023) is only the 6th film to win Oscars for both Actor and Supporting Actor. The other 5 were GOING MY WAY (1944) (Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald), THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES (1946) (Frederic March and Harold Russell), BEN-HUR (1959) (Charlton Heston and Hugh Griffith), MYSTIC RIVER (2003) (Sean Penn and Tim Robbins), and DALLAS BUYERS CLUB (2013) (Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto).
      Funny how the 3 most recent films to do this achieved it in 10-year intervals, and 4 of those 6 movies also won Picture (only MYSTIC RIVER and DALLAS BUYERS CLUB have failed to win it).

    Absolutely incredible film. My favorite film of 2023. Quite possibly Christopher Nolan’s best film, and undeniably the career defining performances from both Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. The Academy got it right with the Oscars that they gave this movie, for Best Picture, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr., Original Music, Cinematography, and Editing.

    • @hoon_sol
      @hoon_sol 5 месяцев назад +1

      Not even remotely Nolan's best film, and certainly no "career-defining" performance by either of those two actors, especially not RDJ. And best film of the year? That's a total joke. Compare it to e.g. a masterpiece like _Poor Things_ and you quickly see what total nonsense those awards have become. I'd say the only redeeming feature of the film was the soundtrack.

      At the same time, we need to realize that art is subjective, and one person's definition of best will not align with another (for example, I think GLADIATOR (2000) is the worst film to win Best Picture) and it is broad consensus of a large group of people that ultimately determines who wins.

    9:48, One thing that I thought was very refreshing about Oppenheimer and his contemporaries is how diverse they were in their interest. Sure he was a brilliant physicist but he also had an interest in music, art, religion, history and languages.
    Quite often the representation of very smart people is that they are only interested in their particular field and clueless about all else. As we can see Oppenheimer was also a ladies man.
    Also many of the scientists Oppenheimer meets in this movie are legendary figures in the sciences. Some were his heroes and some his rivals.

    @MarcoMM1 5 месяцев назад +3

    Great reaction guys like always, This movie is another masterpiece from Nolan. What he has put before our eyes definitively deserves to be seen, as does Cillian Murphy's performance in the role of Oppenheimer and the irreconcilable but fantastic, but Robert Downey Jr. in the role of Lewis Strauss is in another level what a great performance truly amazing.
    The Trinity Test recreation was filmed without special effects, Nolan is no stranger to recreating dramatic events on the big screen but in perhaps his most ambitious move yet, the director decided to film the atomic bomb test without using any CGI or visual effects. That means what you see on screen really did take place - although on a smaller scale.
    The movie opens with an ominous opening caption, which reads: “Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to man. For this he was chained to a rock and tortured for eternity.” The film is based on Kai Bird’s 2005 Oppenheimer biography American Prometheus and explaining the comparison, Kai writes in his book: “Like that rebellious Greek god Prometheus who stole fire from Zeus and bestowed it upon humankind, Oppenheimer gave us atomic fire.
    The cast lived together during filming, Nolan moved his cast and crew into digs together. Emily Blunt likened the situation to ‘summer camp’ and told People: “We were all in the same hotel in the middle of the New Mexican desert. We only had each other.” in another unusual move, Nolan wrote the script in first person in order to reflect how most of the film is being told from Oppenheimer’s perspective and using his memories. Matt Damon told in an interview: “I’ve never seen that done before. Instead of ‘Oppenheimer walks across the room,’ it’s ‘I walk across the room.’ This was a way for him to signal that, Okay, this is what the movie’s going to feel like. It’s going to feel immediate.” Keep up the good work.

    One of the saddest things to me about this movie is that I've seen examples of people like Oppenheimer in real life. People who are brilliant in their own line of work, absolute geniouses, but completely inept at basic social requirements like being a father, staying faithful to a partner, or joining a sub-culture that will get you in trouble with the government. "Embrace revolution in science, why not society as well" is so incredibly logical, but so easy to ruin someone's life. I think he's on the spectrum in some way, and I think it's a common issue with people extremely gifted like him. Once you understand the fabric of reality, it's hard to care about the constructs of culture.

    • @PjRjHj
      @PjRjHj 5 месяцев назад

      In Oppenheimer's case, his sub-culture was a murderous ideology, fuelled by drunk utopian hubris, and it has yet to answer for its crimes. Millions had already died in 1930s Soviet Union directly due to the actions of communist practice.

    Nolan did something interesting with the color. The color segments represented the subjective "story" version of the movie, from Oppenheimer's perspective and how he wants to be remembered. The B&W scenes represent a more objective account, using only the things in the historical record. The color scenes paint a sympathetic portrait of a complicated man, and the B&W scenes portray an opportunistic power-grabber. Though Strauss is the villain of the movie, many of the things he said were factually correct. Taken together, the movie shows the struggle in understanding Oppenheimer's life and motivations.

You get the takedown of Strauss, Kitty standing up for her and her husband, and the reveal of what he and Einstein talk about, and it ends with that chilling final line.

In none his roles, does he look or sound the same. As Emily Blunt says, he's very clever. Do watch his other movies... many of them are Irish or British productions...watch him in Breakfast on Pluto as a transgender woman, then watch him in Red Eye and the Wind That Shakes the Barley... it's almost inconceivable that it's the same man in each film, and that these movies were made in only 18 months. Then he's completely different in Sunshine and as for Peaky Blinders...well!!! The list goes on . I really admire him ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Film is probably Nolan's best script, it is incredibly dense and setups and calls back earlier lines repeatedly. I think the most important line of the film is when Oppenheimer is teaching Quantum Mechanics, and he asks whether Light exists as a wave or a particle. And then answers that it is both, which is paradoxical, but true. And that line essentially encapsulates Oppenheimer's entire character. He's someone that built the Atomic Bomb, but refuses take have responsibility over the inevitable arms race. He's for developing an A-Bomb which kills hundreds of thousands, but is against building a Hydrogen Bomb. He's a communist, and yet also a capitalist. A family man and a womanizer. He lives a life of contradictions to the point that not even he can adequately explain his own actions and beliefs. And so we are left examining a man no one can fully understand.

    This film had such a big impact on me like an atomic bomb. At the end of the film, I was shaking and crying without any reason. It was shocking and at the same time and increadibly awsome. I can't discribe properly how many emotions were running through me.

    One other note about Oppenheimer's motivations--the fact that he was Jewish. I appreciated the movie including the quote "It's not your people they're putting into camps, it's mine," but wish they had explored that aspect of his motivation a little more.

    The apple symbolizes knowledge, and Oppenheimer poisoning it, symbolizes poisoned knowledge. As in dangerous, world changing discovery.

    5:55 Niels Bohr might be a familiar name from high school chemistry class... he founded the Bohr Model of the atom, the model that stated that electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom at fixed energy levels, with different distance orbits requiring different amounts of energy to move between, and the excess energy the movement creates releases photons (energy).
    20:48 yes, the Manhattan Project cost around 2 billion dollars at the time.
    38:05 over 200K people died due to the explosion and the cancer from the radiation zone in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
    Nothing like a little nuclear holocaust to make existential anxiety return in todays climate.

    One thing that I like about Oppenheimer is that it shows both he and Turing both had connections to poisoned apples. And both were discarded and destroyed by their countries after their usefulness is done. Note also the Biblical symbolism around the Garden of Eden, and humanity's exile from it -- both snake and apple being mentioned in the same scene.

    The sound in the IMAX theatre where I saw this movie was incredible.. the moment the blast and sound wave hits the scientists during the Trinity test … they must have turned every speaker in the Theatre up to maximum and pointed then all directly at the audience, the sound of the blast felt like it blew you back down into your seat.

    You kids might enjoy the film, "A Beautiful Mind" starring Russel Crowe in a roll that will surprise you. It's a great film that won numerous Academy Awards (back when that meant something), numerous Critics Choice awards and a truckload of others. Like Oppenheimer, it's based on a true story and while they got a few things wrong (you have to when making a film if only for brevity) but they got most of it head on. Love your channel. Cheers!

    37:25, In his famous song "Russians", the singer Sting lamented "How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy?" This is it when it became reality.
    To be honest I'm more worried about Teller's more deadly toy the hydrogen bomb, which uses an atomic bomb to kick off an even more powerful explosion.

    Great reaction as usual! As I've gone back through Nolans films, I've noticed that almost every one of them (with the exception of Batman) reflect his obsession with time. I'm sure it's been brought up before by people much smarter than myself, but especially his movies interstellar, Tenet, inception, and memento really chew over time and it's meaning.

    It really was a special delight to watch this in IMAX theatres, especially when the bomb went off, people were silent and glued. You're totally robbed of that moment when you watch at home. Being in the cinemas forces you (if you're respectful), to be quiet and and absorb the moment as the characters are. At home it really doesn't hit the same. This movie, and plenty of others obviously, have so many emotional beats where a silent reaction is more appropriate and impactful and doesn't require commentary or a remark. Fun reaction nonetheless though!

    Good watch... Not really for everyone, and not a simple biopic! Some people dont even actually get Nolan's structure and narrative, many go with the flow of knowing from others that is good!... No other title could exist besides the one that exists! Congrats for chosing this watch!... Still not watching this one in the theaters and cinemas is missing the "experience" of the senses, that gives you the sense that you watching something deeply layered and profound!,,,
    In a sense its not a good movie to react, because any spooken reaction phrase or word will bring anyone to somewhat merit rational interpretation, that could make one to go look for something that Nolan is not actually interested that we should care about!... Its actually the underlined sense of threat and morality that is at play here!... And not what we may rationalize in bits of reactions thru the disclosed narrative, in an effort to make sense of things that "were, are or could be" happening!...
    ... Its of course... Quantum Mechanics, the study of the behavior of matter and energy at the smallest scales that the movie translates even with is desajusted space and time sense of things happening in duality and in uncertainty over that same unmeasured time periods, with the black and white being the bleak present!... Maybe!... Thats because Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics that describes the behavior of matter and energy at atomic and subatomic levels. It introduces concepts such as wave-particle duality, where particles like electrons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, and superposition, where particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously. Quantum mechanics also includes the principle of uncertainty, which states that certain pairs of properties, like position and momentum, cannot both be precisely measured at the same time.
    This theory has profound implications for our understanding of the natural world and underpins much of modern technology, including semiconductors, lasers, and quantum computing. The film delves into the scientific, ethical, and personal dimensions of Oppenheimer's work, which is deeply intertwined with the principles of quantum mechanics and nuclear physics.
    all the rest in the movie is for dramatic effect of a biopic... which in reality is not the most important despite also being important its just "waves of motions"!... The important message is the "chain-reaction morality" stated in the end with Albert Einstein! Spartan is on point with it by lighting the focus on that!...
    He's Prometheus, a symbol of human striving, particularly the quest for scientific knowledge and technological progress. His gift of fire represents enlightenment and the spark of innovation that drives human advancement. He's also the theme of rebellion against unjust authority and the suffering that can accompany such rebellion. And of course he's also the cultural myth that influences the struggle for freedom and consequences of human creativity and ambition. In the end OPPENHEIMER like Prometheus shows us that the quest for progress comes with deeply important challenges in the morality of those that are involved in it.
