As I was watching the movie, I kept seeing blatant Q- adjacent topics. Q clearance was mentioned prominently. (They could have just said clearance in the conversation so that popped out at me as very intentional.) I just kept thinking that the movie kept touching on topics that we research here… then I see James Woods name as one of the producers. Ahhhh, makes sense.😊
It was a good movie. Long, but kept you engaged. I had no idea of what had happened to Oppenheimer after the war and so I enjoyed the history lesson. It also seems that JFK once again did the right thing. (I won’t spoil that nugget.)
I am an engineer who had to suffer through 3 semesters of physics and it was neat to see actors portraying the scientists I’d seen in my education.
I hate Hollywood, don’t often go to movies, and I saw Sound of Freedom Saturday and Oppenheimer today - 2 movies in one week!!
That will be it until Mel Gibson’s documentary!
Oh I know it is the clearance for nuclear weapons. I have had other clearances for decades and you normally don’t state the clearance level unless it is specifically needed for a conversation/topic. The way it was used in the movie (I think twice) just seemed a little contrived or forced for the conversation at the time.
Got it.
