  • Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer" throws a lot at the audience - in a good way. From the significance of horses to the use of moody black and white scenes, there's more to "Oppenheimer" than meets the eye.

    Rain is also a recurring metaphor. The movie starts with a shot of raindrops hitting a puddle. At first this looks like a simple aesthetic choice but later in the movie we realize what the rain symbolizes. In one scene they sit at a restaurant and plot the destruction radius on a map. Later, we see Oppenheimer imagining rain falling onto the same map. As each drop hits the surface we see a ripple wave propegating outwards. And in the last scene where he meets Einstein, it becomes clear that each drop of rain hitting the water represents a detonation. Blast waves rippling through the atmosphere. While a single bomb did not cause a physical chain reaction, the arms race it started did. Now humanity has the capability to end itself in a moment. The movie starts with beautiful raindrops hitting a puddle, and ends with nukes raining on our earth.

      The rain drops are the symbol of the acid rain, radioactive rain, that occurs from detonations of the atomic bombs. Like the missiles firing at the end, it’s a reminder of what we can expect with the proliferation of WMD today.

    In the story about the poisoned apple, you neglected to mention than in the film Oppenheimer snatches the apple from Bohr as he's about to bite into it, throwing it into a wastebasket. Oppenheimer explains his action with one word: "Wormhole". This is a play on words as wormhole is the common name for the Einstein-Rosen bridge, a hypothetical connection between two distant points in space-time. Kudos to Nolan for working a physics joke into the script here to get Oppenheimer out of trouble.

    A big miss is when Oppenheimer's wife finds him in the desert crying after the woman he had an affair with commits suicide. She says to him, "You can't commit the sin and then have everyone feel bad for you. C'mon, you have people counting on you." While the dialogue is about the affair, the greater message is about how we view Oppenheimer following the bomb.

I should take it all in while I can.” And when the theatre roared of thunderous explosions and shook of violent quakes, I began to doubt myself. The film does an excellent job of roping the viewers in to the seemingly desensitized reality we live in. The creation of this weaponry is inappropriate for our nature, and will be the tool to our demise as a species. Since the creation of the the A-Bomb we’ve lived in ‘peace’ not harmony. ‘Peace’ by threat of annihilation. I don’t have faith in our nature and thus, at some point, I will once again experience this movie. Next time, in 3D.

    The black and white scenes are not from Strauss' point of view solely, rather the black and white scenes were scenes from an objective point of view (meaning, based in historical fact), and the scenes in color were more interpretive from Christopher Nolan, not based on quotes or known facts, but assumptions and feelings added for cinematic purposes. The B/W scenes were 'news clips', the color scenes were in Oppenheimer's head.

    Ooohhhh I hadn’t caught that comment to Toleman about Ruth in that critical moment when Robert realizes that he’s been excluded from the most important work happening in his immediate vicinity.
    The comment must be his way of retaliating in a subconscious way, Toleman probably did know but never let on to Robert is more likely, especially when he was quite brazen about revealing it to the husband.
    Quite a lot of backstory captured here in just a few frames and a couple lines of dialogue. This is an incredible film about an incredible event and the man who most largely brought the most incredible weapon into being.
    A lot of things underlying that are not ever mentioned that I’m discovering, things that are deduced when you start to learn of the role of secret societies to which young men pledge their life’s allegiance to and who act in concert to maintain their control of all the world through constant chaos, look deep at the people Motivating Strauss, he’s in the old boys club of old boys club.
    Both sides of every conflict have a common energy source they draw from, a family if you will which is the root cause of all this destruction. Look at how they deal with their greatest creators, the men who not abiding to absolute secrecy can actually attain and create the things those who pledge allegiance to can never bring into being, they just employ then destroy once your usefulness is up. There is so much here in this film on the compartmentalized mind vs the constructive/complementary mind which has access to all. This is a fundamental battle we are undergoing right now, those who control…their most important asset is INFORMATION.
    Oppenheimer shows anything’s possible when thinking together and putting the best minds together (in fact compartmentalizing a community) leads to the greatest understandings and practical application. (Nikola Tesla curiously did so much more mentally alone, different mind/method)
    What if instead of applying knowledge towards ways of dividing people of the world and using destruction/death as method, we thought ways to increase Livingry, the practical application of clean air water food land shelter information access transportation everything available for everyone.
    Can we unite the world around this idea and send to the scrap heap the current have and have not paradigm? Would you reading this comment take action to see that through? 🩵
