Hollywood has better directors than Nolan! But for over ten years the film world has been dominated and ruined by Marvel and DC films. Legendary directors have already warned that superhero films will eventually suffer the same fate as pirate films. So don't talk so smartly! It's your fault because you were partly mentally unable to recognize real film gems. Nolan is a great director?! lol I liked his The Dark Knight movies because he tried to put more brains into it. But his other films Inception was a copy of The Matrix only in a dream level. Interstellar wasn't bad but it was flooded with nonsense. Dunkirk wasn't a war film but an annoying piece of film work that rightly wasn't a big success. Tenet was also a pile of rubbish, only Oppenheimer makes me optimistic. There are better directors than Nolan and I think that praising him so highly is extremely small-minded and also involves little knowledge. There are much better directors than Nolan! Hollywood just needs to finally get away from this franchise shit. but blockbusters also need studios to continue to exist. There can't just be films in which people babble pointlessly or show someone washing dishes for 20 minutes or films that imagine they are mentally superior.
Never has a movie in cinema actually left me properly breathless by the end of it. I remember roughly 70% of the audience sitting down for 10 minutes after the movie was finished just flabbergasted. An absolute Masterpiece by Nolan 🤧
It feels incredible that we still get movies like Oppenheimer from time to time. If Cillian Murphy, RDJ and Emily Blunt don’t receive the Academy Awards in their categories then I don’t know who will because that was an absolute master class in acting
It’s been many years since I’ve seen an ending to a movie that made me so emotionally winded. Beautiful cinema, and I hope that Cillian gets the recognition he deserves ❤
This was a surprisingly good theatre experience - not because of the visuals on the big screen, but because of the collective silence when the credits roll, knowing that everybody in the room is in the same state of awe. Pretty cool movie
I was mindblown with the Ludwig Goransson's soundtrack for this movie. You might know some of his soundtracks like black panther, the mandalorian, tenet, Creed "Can you hear the music" and "Trinity" are my favorites musics from Oppenheimer
Nobody can deny Nolan's genius and it shows from the very start of the movie. That intro, the way everything is filmed, the sounds, it's all spectacular. Seeing things from Oppenheimer's perspective, how "tortured" he is by the way he sees the world, how that anguish transformed into passion and it drove him to excel in his field, it gives you chills. It's ironic, how he always wanted to do good, help those around him and yet people kept dragging him down with petty little things like politics, ideologies, pride until eventually he reached the breaking point: that scene where he congratulates everyone for their hard work after the bombs are dropped, it hit him so hard, realizing that he has blood on his hands. It would've broken anyone and yet he kept his composure and kept marching forward, even if, in the end, just like Einstein told him, he will end up in his exact position, being pushed to the side. All of the actors were spectacular, their performances worthy of all the praise and admiration but Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey, Matt Damon and Emily Blunt stood out like nobody else. The chemistry between them was something else. Downey's character, Strauss, being the one who eventually plans his downfall because of his hurt pride and ambition, it felt so dirty. The final act of the movie, with his interview/interrogation/process was hard to watch, seeing him protect his friends, his ideals even as those people in the commitee did everything they could to trample him down...it truly makes your blood boil, your reaction was very much appropiate. You've outdone yourself with this reaction and it truly shows. Thank you for reacting to this brilliant piece of cinematography and for showing us just how intelligent you are, how much attention you pay to details and more than anything, what a kind soul you have ❤
I think she isn't mentioned as much because for most of the movie she's practically a background character. But they do give her one epic scene later on (when she's questioned at the hearing) that Blunt absolutely nails.
I wish I could relive seeing this for the first time. The first hour was kind of overwhelming, with the time jumps and sheer number of people being introduced. Through the next hour the movie just got more and more intense, and I was starting to feel exhausted in the final act. But in that final 20-30 minutes, everything came together so unexpectedly satisfyingly. Kitty's answers, Strauss being denied, and the reveal of what he and Einstein said to each other, everything came crashing together like a star collapsing in on itself and I was blown away.
@@MitchClement-il6iq they didn't show that because the whole point of the film was to be a biopic about Oppenheimer, not the creation/destruction of the bomb.
Christopher Nolan is one of the few directors working today who can make a three-hour film comprised mostly of people talking quietly to each other and make it feel absolutely riveting. You know these are serious people talking about serious things that actually happened, and how the effects of their work have reverberated across time and formed the world we live in today - nuclear proliferation, the Arms Race, and a world which is constantly on the edge of armageddon, equally fearing those who don't truly understand the destructive power of such weapons if they were to ever acquire them and those who do understand its destructive power but would choose to use it anyway. One of my favorite parts of the movie is the use of the stomping sound of the people sitting the crowd at Oppenheimer's speech, and how it sounds very much like a train that is slowly gaining speed. Oppenheimer is on this train of history, chugging forward faster and faster. It can't be slowed down, it can't be stopped, and there's no getting off.
I had the privilege of seeing this film in a 70mm IMAX theater, one of the few in the world, so I could see the full size of the movie's image. However, my theater is probably the worst 70mm IMAX theater in the world, so while I loved the film, I couldn't fully enjoy it because the light in the projector wasn't bright enough, so the whole movie was really dark. It's nice to see what the film was intended to look like now.
Good reaction. Brilliant film on how Oppenheimer and colleagues figured how to get the genie out of the bottle, lost control, and changed everything in such a profound way. He paid a heavy price personally.
After watching Grave of the Fireflies 1988 by Isao Takahata, justifications have no weight. Nolan is showing how conscious and savant people, can be pushed to follow the will of their surrounding, for a monstrous project, by fear or pride. The ignition of atmosphere is a powerful metaphor about global warming. And, like Oppenheimer, we are conscious of its cause, explained in IPCC reports.
It is a remarkable testament to the cinematic landscape that occasional gems like "Oppenheimer" grace our screens. The performances delivered by Cillian Murphy, RDJ, and Emily Blunt in this production stand as nothing short of an unparalleled master class in the art of acting. Should these exceptional talents not be recognized with Academy Awards in their respective categories, one must ponder who else could possibly match the sheer brilliance they exhibited on screen.
When I saw this movie I was amazed because in school we didn't know a lot of Oppenheimer. The moment when we got to the Trinity test the theater jumped out of their seats when we heard the explosion.
Undoubtedly, this film is a masterpiece. With Christopher Nolan at the helm and penning the screenplay, the movie received a significant uplift. The costumes by Ellen Mirojnick, the production design by Ruth De Jong, the cinematography by Hoyte van Hoytema, and the score by Ludwig Göransson, all contributed to elevating this film to extraordinary heights. The result is a phenomenal, operatic cinematic experience. The phenomenal performances by Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., and Matt Damon further enhanced the film’s appeal, making it a truly operatic cinematic experience. It's also quite interesting that I live 2 hours away from where they detonated the first atomic bomb.
"Peaky Blinders" is another example of just how much range and talent there is in the man called Cillian Murphy. He was spectacular in this movie but when you see him in that series, everything from body language to the way he speaks and behaves - it's just incredible.
I love that they didn't make the movie about the hero and the bomb. They made it about the man and the terrible power he created and gave to fallible, politically motivated, narcissistic, sociopathic people to control. The entire movie was a warning to the world that there are no winners in a nuclear war, and we should be more careful who we allow to have control over them.
The Manhattan project employed over a quarter of a million people and represented over 1% of the war budget spent during the several years of development. All of it seeming to come down to a single device, referred to as "gadget" and leading up to trinity, when they were finally sliding the last piece into position...it didn't fit. Can you imagine? The tolerances for it were so small that the final slot needed to warm up a few degrees to get its shape to become perfect. These guys were using slide rules and pencils to harness the universe. Its incredible.
One of the greatest lines in this film was, "you're not just self important you're actually important." Josh Hartnet in a different timeline survived the bombing run in Pearl Harbor and went on to work on the Manhattan Project.
My ultimate thought sitting in the theater right as the movie ended was simply I didn’t know movies could be this impactful and quite frankly good. Astonishingly powerful in both its beauty and it’s projected Terror
I feel like it will get to $1 billion with a re-release during awards season. Even if it doesn't, both Barbie and Oppenheimer performing THIS big is fantastic.
This film deserved all the accolades it received, especially at the Academy Awards. This was the Best film of 2023, with the best leading and supporting actor performances from Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey, Jr. Christopher Nolan made another masterpiece that not only made a lot of money, but won a slew of well deserved awards. Nolan, Murphy, RDJ and everyone else who won Oscars truly deserved them for this film.
You're knowledge of these events going in is impressive. You paid attention in school.Many Americans of your generation don't even know what "The Manhattan Project" is.
That feeling of the stage when everything turned white as if the bomb exploded there, that is the feeling that created Godzilla. Poor man, I'm certain that the last thing he thought of before dying was that the end of the world was now possible thanks to him.
Cillian Murphy and RDJ are literally top 10 best actors of all time. I have never seen them fail at the roles they're playing. Especially Cillian Murphy is just on a whole other level. His work on Peaky Blinders and now this is just perfection
Awesome reaction as always Magy. I did have the chance to see this in 70MM film and it was a great experience. Also, I do love the different time jumps that connects everything in the story. The acting is top notch, cinematography on points and Ludwig Goransson’s score is absolutely fantastic. Just a fantastic movie overall and a definite masterpiece. Also, Happy Thanksgiving to you Magy and Laura
I saw this movie in the theater and by the end I was shaking my head speechless! It was amazing to see the geniuses at work and it was more than one that made it happen. Leave it to gov to tear down science and scientists even when they funded the whole project! No truer words than Oppie's line... Now I have become death... Destroyer of worlds...! 👹😞 Great reaction Magy❤💛
I can see why there was regret though, many innocent people in Japan died and got radiation poisoning etc afterwards I and many others can’t believe there wasn’t any other way
I glossed over an article from the Hollywood Reporter that says Oppenheimer just today became available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. Correction -- it is available to stream, with purchase.
I love how this movie illustrates the power of emotional projection starting a self-fulfilling prophecy. The scientists see a split atom, think it could be used as a bomb, and _immediately assumed everyone else will do the same thing with it._ Strauss is obsessed with making everyone distrust each other so that they confide in him and celebrate his virtue, and when he sees Oppie with Albert, he _immediately assumes_ that's what Oppie's doing to him. In both cases, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy wherein _everyone_ loses. If Oppenheimer had left the bomb alone, Heisenberg and the Russians would've failed to make it themselves anyways. If Strauss had just left Oppie alone, everyone would still think he's an upstanding guy.
Yes and no, the scientists saw the split atom and immediately thought bomb because they knew the landscape of the scientific world enough to know that everyone would figure it out, which they did. And you can not judge the decision they made with knowledge they didn't have, YOU know that the Nazis get defeated and Hitler shoots himself in a bunker, THEY don't. They could only make their decisions based on the fact that the Nazis were working on the bomb.
I got to the end and NEEDED to Watch it again immediately, not because I hadn't understood it, but because I had. And I couldn't get a ticket for three days, because it was that popular. That break was welcome as it gave me a chance to emotionally recover from that first screening.
I'm writing this using deepl, so sorry if some parts are wrong. I am an 18 year old Japanese and Oppenheimer was released in Japan on March 29th. My first impression of this movie is that it is a good movie. It was a very powerful movie, depicting Oppenheimer's struggles and sounds. There was no direct depiction of Hiroshima or Nagasaki, but personally I think it is good that there was not because I think it is like a biography of Oppenheimer rather than showing them. But as a Japanese, I have many thoughts about it. After the success of the Trinity test, when everyone involved in the experiment was rejoicing, I am sure that everyone who watched the film thought to themselves, "But this is what was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There may be a big difference in values between the Japanese and mainly Americans in regard to that, or there may be things that they want to say. Thank you for reading my long comment!
The Prestige was my favorite Nolan movie, and I thought Memento was his best movie. But after being lucky enough to watch THIS masterpiece on 70mm IMAX, I get what Nolan says in interviews about the movie going experience. This movie is flawless, at least the most "flawless" Nolan has ever made, and one of my top favorite ever.
And to think, Trinity, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were firecrackers next to the behemoths born from the fusion bombs. Twenty-thousand kilotons vs 50 megatons from the Soviet Union's Tsar Bomba, the largest manmade explosion in history.
Barbie has its place, why so pretentious? The point of barbenheimer is there’s appetite for original movies, even ones that are vastly different. And people saw both. Gatekeeping creativity isn’t it
Magy, if you are Hungarian, you know about the contributions of Szilard Leo and Teller Ede. I wonder what you think about how differently they are portrayed.
The acting performances are one of the best things about this great film, with Robert Downey Jr as Lewis being the highlight (I also liked how most of his scenes were shot in black and white) and the cameo by Josh Peck got a smile from me.
You need to watch Good Will Hunting with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck., Robin Williams. One of, if not the best screenwriting of all time. GREAT story. It will one of your top 5 films. This is when movies were good.
Oppenheimer" is an exceptional film that deserves the highest praise for its thought-provoking narrative, exquisite craftsmanship, and compelling performances. From the very first frame, the movie draws the audience into the fascinating world of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the brilliant physicist whose contributions during World War II profoundly altered the course of history.
Please react to the following movies, they are incredible: Devil (2010) directed by John Erick Dowdle. M. Night Shyamalan No One Will Save You (2023) directed by Brian Duffield
Oppenheimer: "Remember when I gave you that piece of paper where from the calculations resulted that we might set a chain reaction (intentionally he changed the setting the atmosphere on fire to make sense) that will destroy the world?" Einstein: "Yeah, I remember that." Oppenheimer: "I believe that we did." Einstein realizing for a sec: 😳 As well as us the viewers, what he meant. That ending was better than the rest of the movie put together.🤝 And gets the movie from a 7 to a 9/10 for me. Scrapping 9, but 9. It's not a masterpiece, but a masterpiece ending. One of the best endings ever.
Why aren't you happy for Oppenheimer, when in the end Oppenheimer's reputation was later rehabilitated in part by Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson? You see this in the last scene where he receives an award.
it was hard to watch 50 minutes of it with Magy there. I couldn't imagine watching the whole thing by myself. I would be snoring in the theatre. Not my kind of movie but Magy made it bearable.
I rarely go to the cinema to watch movies, I find most newer movies just not worth it and are just as good at home. But I think that this one for me is definitief in my top few of best movie experiences to go watch on the big screen. I don’t think I have even experienced people begin that silent in the cinema lol I just wish I could have seen it on IMAX 70mm but sadly there is not one cinema that has it where I live and fly to the UK to watch a movie wasn’t really an option..😂
One review said this is the most important film of the 21st century, and they were right. We are still in the exact same situation as we were in the Cold War in terms of the threat of nuclear war. And seeing from Oppenheimer’s perspective throughout this movie was brilliant because you see how tormented that he was that he and the other scientists of the Manhattan Project tried to make a weapon that would essentially end all world wars, instead they gave humankind the power to not just destroy itself but the world as well. And sadly this movie didn’t show the other horrors the US government did when making the bomb. They forced out all of the Native American citizens who were living at the Los Alamos without even compensating them, and while they had protective equipment for the scientists and higher-ups, they did not have that same protection, for the Latino immigrant workers who handled the nuclear material, and most of them died from cancer and other radiation related illnesses.
The production of the nuclear bomb is the only reason we haven't had more world wars since. We'd be in WW5 or more by now. Nuclear deterrence and mutually assured destruction is a real thing and works.
Hollywood needs filmmakers like Nolan more than ever
If I was a filmmaker, I would definitely make good movies like Nolan
@@devoncox1808 everybody thinks that
They have, but either they don't let direct projects, or they don't give good marketing or the people don't watch them.
Nobody will ever make movies as good as Nolan. He's the single greatest filmmaker of the 21st century.
Hollywood has better directors than Nolan! But for over ten years the film world has been dominated and ruined by Marvel and DC films. Legendary directors have already warned that superhero films will eventually suffer the same fate as pirate films. So don't talk so smartly! It's your fault because you were partly mentally unable to recognize real film gems. Nolan is a great director?! lol I liked his The Dark Knight movies because he tried to put more brains into it. But his other films Inception was a copy of The Matrix only in a dream level. Interstellar wasn't bad but it was flooded with nonsense. Dunkirk wasn't a war film but an annoying piece of film work that rightly wasn't a big success. Tenet was also a pile of rubbish, only Oppenheimer makes me optimistic. There are better directors than Nolan and I think that praising him so highly is extremely small-minded and also involves little knowledge. There are much better directors than Nolan!

Bro when the title name was shown to start the credits I let out this big whew. And sat there for a good 3 minutes, thinking what I just saw.
It feels incredible that we still get movies like Oppenheimer from time to time. If Cillian Murphy, RDJ and Emily Blunt don’t receive the Academy Awards in their categories then I don’t know who will because that was an absolute master class in acting

They filmed the scenes of Oppenheimer’s home in his *actual* home!
30:20 that moment hit me more than anything in the cinema... the same dread and similar feeling to the end of the movie... instant goosebumps all over
I was mindblown with the Ludwig Goransson's soundtrack for this movie. You might know some of his soundtracks like black panther, the mandalorian, tenet, Creed
"Can you hear the music" and "Trinity" are my favorites musics from Oppenheimer
It honestly does so much for the film that ending score is spectacular
For me is can you hear the music or destroyer of worlds

I saw Oppenheimer in the theater the first week it came out. As an engineer I found this movie so interesting. My favorite movie of 2023.
The only thing disappointing in the movie is that they didn't show the 2 bombs true affect in Japan... but that's all.
the movie was told from Oppenheimer's POV. He didn't see the bombs drop so neither should us. Another type of movie can show it.
@@MitchClement-il6iqbecause that wasn’t the point of the movie?

I'm really glad Cillian Murphy got to show off his amazing acting chops in this movie. If you want to see more of him watch Peaky Blinders.
I would also recommend a movie called Sunshine and a movie called Anthropoid.

Saw this 4 times in theaters. Absolutely a masterpiece and it best run the table at the Oscar’s
I liked Kenneth Bainbridge’s response to Oppenheimer’s famous destroyer of worlds quote,”Now we are all sons of bitches.”
When I saw this movie I was amazed because in school we didn't know a lot of Oppenheimer. The moment when we got to the Trinity test the theater jumped out of their seats when we heard the explosion.

Correction -- it is available to stream, with purchase.
For a sense of scale in the blast scene they were just under 10 km away in the bunker and the detonation platform was about 10 stories up.
I love how this movie illustrates the power of emotional projection starting a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The scientists see a split atom, think it could be used as a bomb, and _immediately assumed everyone else will do the same thing with it._ Strauss is obsessed with making everyone distrust each other so that they confide in him and celebrate his virtue, and when he sees Oppie with Albert, he _immediately assumes_ that's what Oppie's doing to him.
In both cases, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy wherein _everyone_ loses. If Oppenheimer had left the bomb alone, Heisenberg and the Russians would've failed to make it themselves anyways. If Strauss had just left Oppie alone, everyone would still think he's an upstanding guy.
Yes and no, the scientists saw the split atom and immediately thought bomb because they knew the landscape of the scientific world enough to know that everyone would figure it out, which they did. And you can not judge the decision they made with knowledge they didn't have, YOU know that the Nazis get defeated and Hitler shoots himself in a bunker, THEY don't. They could only make their decisions based on the fact that the Nazis were working on the bomb.
This movie is just incredible. Even better in Theatre
Scarecrow, Iron Man, White Widow, Jason Bourne, Mary Poppins, Han Solo, and Freddie Mercury all in one movie! 😉
I got to the end and NEEDED to Watch it again immediately, not because I hadn't understood it, but because I had.
And I couldn't get a ticket for three days, because it was that popular. That break was welcome as it gave me a chance to emotionally recover from that first screening.
I'm writing this using deepl, so sorry if some parts are wrong. I am an 18 year old Japanese and Oppenheimer was released in Japan on March 29th. My first impression of this movie is that it is a good movie. It was a very powerful movie, depicting Oppenheimer's struggles and sounds. There was no direct depiction of Hiroshima or Nagasaki, but personally I think it is good that there was not because I think it is like a biography of Oppenheimer rather than showing them. But as a Japanese, I have many thoughts about it. After the success of the Trinity test, when everyone involved in the experiment was rejoicing, I am sure that everyone who watched the film thought to themselves, "But this is what was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There may be a big difference in values between the Japanese and mainly Americans in regard to that, or there may be things that they want to say. Thank you for reading my long comment!
As a scientist, seeing how much you got into this movie makes you even hotter Magy!
The best movie of 2023, and if you want see more Christopher Nolan's movies watch Interstellar, The Prestige and Tenet.
The Prestige was my favorite Nolan movie, and I thought Memento was his best movie. But after being lucky enough to watch THIS masterpiece on 70mm IMAX, I get what Nolan says in interviews about the movie going experience. This movie is flawless, at least the most "flawless" Nolan has ever made, and one of my top favorite ever.
Nice review! I saw in theater when came out and thought it was amazing. A science and history movie that will blow you away
Let the Oppenheimer reaction binge begin!
I'd love to see you watching Inception from Nolan.
This is a movie about . . . a crucifixion. That's what your chills - and my tears - are/were about. Best movie I've seen in about 20 years.
Brilliant! Great reaction. Thank you 😊
The ending is scary great reaction.
Best movie of 2023!
You pulled a super reactor move with this
And to think, Trinity, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were firecrackers next to the behemoths born from the fusion bombs. Twenty-thousand kilotons vs 50 megatons from the Soviet Union's Tsar Bomba, the largest manmade explosion in history.
This is a great movie, totally worth every cent
Such films should actually be seen, not Barbie, but the viewership numbers give us a glimpse into the future. LoL
Barbie has its place, why so pretentious? The point of barbenheimer is there’s appetite for original movies, even ones that are vastly different. And people saw both. Gatekeeping creativity isn’t it
Magy, if you are Hungarian, you know about the contributions of Szilard Leo and Teller Ede. I wonder what you think about how differently they are portrayed.
The acting performances are one of the best things about this great film, with Robert Downey Jr as Lewis being the highlight (I also liked how most of his scenes were shot in black and white) and the cameo by Josh Peck got a smile from me.
You need to watch Good Will Hunting with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck., Robin Williams. One of, if not the best screenwriting of all time. GREAT story. It will one of your top 5 films. This is when movies were good.
definitely!
39:05 - Literally welcome to the American Justice system. 🙄😒
Oppenheimer" is an exceptional film that deserves the highest praise for its thought-provoking narrative, exquisite craftsmanship, and compelling performances. From the very first frame, the movie draws the audience into the fascinating world of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the brilliant physicist whose contributions during World War II profoundly altered the course of history.
The *moral* chain reaction is still ongoing.
Please react to the following movies, they are incredible:
Devil (2010) directed by John Erick Dowdle. M. Night Shyamalan
No One Will Save You (2023) directed by Brian Duffield
Loved your reactions, emotional, fully engaged.
I understand that all the black and white scenes are part of some official record.
Amazing color to your hair! WOW! Really looks good on you! Five Stars!
HI Maggy how are you and I loved seeing Oppenheimer it was so good
After I saw the movie in theaters, I had an urge to rewatch the sci-fi classic The Day the Earth Stood Still because of their similar themes
Oppenheimer: "Remember when I gave you that piece of paper where from the calculations resulted that we might set a chain reaction (intentionally he changed the setting the atmosphere on fire to make sense) that will destroy the world?"
Einstein: "Yeah, I remember that."
Oppenheimer: "I believe that we did."
Einstein realizing for a sec: 😳 As well as us the viewers, what he meant.
That ending was better than the rest of the movie put together.🤝 And gets the movie from a 7 to a 9/10 for me. Scrapping 9, but 9.
It's not a masterpiece, but a masterpiece ending. One of the best endings ever.
Sticking the ending is the most important you don’t finish strong everything falls flat
I love this channel cus there's never a dry eye in the house.
A good example for a Pandora's box 😊
And now we have 9 official weapons grade nuclear state with 4 on the cusp of being one... Yay
14:07 In science there is never 0%.
Why aren't you happy for Oppenheimer, when in the end Oppenheimer's reputation was later rehabilitated in part by Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson? You see this in the last scene where he receives an award.
it was hard to watch 50 minutes of it with Magy there. I couldn't imagine watching the whole thing by myself. I would be snoring in the theatre. Not my kind of movie but Magy made it bearable.
I wasn't expecting this reaction. Good job 😊
absolutely adored this reaction ; you're evidently so authentic, I love it!
The whole movie is a masterpiece
A classic movie and a reaction to match. Great job!
Really enjoyed the reaction.
Seeing this movie in 70mm IMAX was the best thing ever
The white pillow
Dane Dehaan really want to play as villain
I rarely go to the cinema to watch movies,
I find most newer movies just not worth it and are just as good at home.
But I think that this one for me is definitief in my top few of best movie experiences to go watch on the big screen.
I don’t think I have even experienced people begin that silent in the cinema lol
I just wish I could have seen it on IMAX 70mm but sadly there is not one cinema that has it where I live and fly to the UK to watch a movie wasn’t really an option..😂
One of the best films I've ever seen. Christopher Nolan has done it again!
As someone who has held lectures on quantum mechanics... it is sexy:)
its a crime to not see this movie in the theaters
there is a post credit scene about Einstein
On teather during that scene had a deep silence.
One review said this is the most important film of the 21st century, and they were right. We are still in the exact same situation as we were in the Cold War in terms of the threat of nuclear war. And seeing from Oppenheimer’s perspective throughout this movie was brilliant because you see how tormented that he was that he and the other scientists of the Manhattan Project tried to make a weapon that would essentially end all world wars, instead they gave humankind the power to not just destroy itself but the world as well.
And sadly this movie didn’t show the other horrors the US government did when making the bomb. They forced out all of the Native American citizens who were living at the Los Alamos without even compensating them, and while they had protective equipment for the scientists and higher-ups, they did not have that same protection, for the Latino immigrant workers who handled the nuclear material, and most of them died from cancer and other radiation related illnesses.
The production of the nuclear bomb is the only reason we haven't had more world wars since. We'd be in WW5 or more by now. Nuclear deterrence and mutually assured destruction is a real thing and works.
The movie was told from Oppenheimer's POV, not the Native Americans. You can make that kind of movie instead.
Great reaction, Magy! Rarely happens, but I had not seen this film and your commentary filled in enough details for me to follow along.
Highly recommend you still watch it on your own tho. It’s masterpiece that deserves to be seen in full, trust me.
