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.
