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!
I'm not convinced nukes are real:

"...on the Bikini Atoll page, we saw the natives being taken back ten years after the last blast [in 1968], “based on scientific advice that the radiation levels were sufficiently reduced”. However, in 1982, a French team found that radiation levels were still not safe and the islanders were again removed. That's 24 years after the last blast. And yet we see Oppenheimer himself standing at ground zero in a suit and tie just a few weeks after the Trinity test!"
