Anyone see Oppenheimer yet?
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
I originally was interested in this movie. Now I'm suspicious. A VERY VERY big lefty in our building saw it, and LOVED it. It'S tHe ScIeNcE! (This one is severely TDS, college prof., (P)iled (H)igher & (D)eeper degree, pussy hat wearer, & climate cultist) So, I'm questioning the movie altogether.
Can any of you sane Pedes weigh in?
Probably like TITANIC
A big lie, all glossed up and heavily marketed, to cover up the TRUTH...
This. Saw it on the high seas Saturday. It's rife with melodrama.
Nah, I would rather see Sound of Freedom for a third time.
I like Cillian Murphy a lot as an actor (from Peaky Blinders,) so I was interested in seeing the movie Oppenheimer... but I’ve read a lot of reviews and it seems like fear porn, basically. People were frightened, even though we know how it worked out. And I also think it sounds like some predictive programming and possibly brainwashing. I doubt I’ll see it, def not in the theater.
It's phony history -- jews as great, indispensable scientists.
If you watched the film, our government tried to destroy him after he built the bomb, so there's that.
Haven’t seen it myself, but I’ve heard that there’s an egregiously explicit sex scene. It boggles my mind that they think they have to put that garbage in movie to sell them.
Honestly, there was 3 sex scenes.
You just inspired me to see it.
Why would that inspire you to see it?
I read the book. In the end America won, Japan lost.
Only after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor tho...
Forget it. He's rolling...
Kek
I'm interested in it, but I'll wait until my library has it
Preparing the lefties to reject Biden when he embraces the possibility of nuke war.
Edit: that's my take. I haven't seen it.
Love it.
To me, it is glorifying the same people, who supported communism. Oppenheimer was an advocate of social reforms that were later categorized as communist ideas. He donated to many socialist causes considered left-wing during the McCarthy era. Although he never publicly joined the CPUSA (Communist Party USA), he provided money to leftist causes by way of acquaintances who were alleged to be members. Oppenheimer was on the Executive Committee of the American Civil Liberties Union, which the FBI considered in the era a communist front organization. The FBI was so concerned about Oppenheimer that they added his name to its Custodial Detention Index, for arrest in case of national emergency. At his 1954 security clearance hearings, Oppenheimer denied being a member of the Communist Party but identified himself as a fellow traveler, which he defined as someone who agrees with many of communism's goals but is not willing to blindly follow orders from any Communist Party apparatus. In other words, he was a communist.
Typical for Hollywood, this movie glorifies communist-minded intellects. What's next? A movie about how great Che Guevara was? The bottom line was none of these scientists knew what would happen when they detonated the atomic bomb. It was really throwing the dice to see what would happen. The vast majority of scientists were opposed to detonating the Atomic bomb. No one knew if the chain reaction would stop. The idiocy tells us a lot about our leaders.
wasn't it found or reported after his passing, that oppenheimer had been giving information to the soviets during and just after ww2?
Now that you mentioned it, I think I do remember reading something about this. It doesn't surprise me. It's all part of the family.
I just think it needs fast zombies or gangsters to interest me.
Christopher Nolan films are not for the social messages, personally I go for the narrative bending that he specializes in. At least the majority of his films in the past that involve some kind of mystery / detective work and reconstructing experience by differentiating memories invented from real. Almost like Nolan tries to combine cinema and quantum theory. Watching them fires off parts of my brain that rarely get exercised, at least by visual media.
At least he used to provide that. If his newer films are just big budget historical action dramas with straightforward timelines, then they're probably a waste of time and inaccurate to boot.
Edit: I just read there's a lot of flipping of timelines, so this film must be the bomb
Best movie I've seen since Nolan's, Interstellar. Oppenheimer is a masterpiece
I rarely go to the movies. I saw Sound of Freedom and Oppenheimer. I enjoyed them both but in the terms of filmmaking, Oppenheimer is a cinematic masterpiece. Go see it for yourself. My main takeaway the deep state will build you up, use you then try to destory you. Tremendous film!
Read "Brighter than a Thousand Suns" By Robert Jungk instead, it's the same story but a lot more detailed and doesn't focus on Oppenheimer excusively.
Just watch Twin Peaks The Return episode 8.
