Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.

In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
The movie about building a nuke. It was a good movie, but interesting timing this movie was released... based on the threat of ww3 looming.
There were couple pretty good redpills in the movie:
Germany was. never working on an Atom Bomb.
Japan was always the real target of the bombs, even though they kept screaming Hitler will have it.
Einstein was one of the key people who fear mongered into creating the Atom Bomb
Even the Movie does not explain why Einstein was supposedly not involved in Manhattan project.
Anyone digging into these will find further rabbit holes.
Other than that, it was a boring movie sadly. They spent more time trying to show emotions of the people who built the bomb, but completely (and pretty disrespectfully) ignored the people who were the targets of the bomb.
The ending was interesting though.
My great grandfather was on the Manhattan project 🤔. I have my own rabbit hole in my family. Lol.
I thought the 2nd half of the movie was boring. The leadup to the nuke test was the best part. Interesting bullet points on the red pills.
I am still trying to figure out why they are hyping this movie so much. Usually when they do it, its powerful comms. Perhaps we are overthinking. Perhaps the comms they are pushing is simply a nuclear war.
Yeah, the last half of the movie really was not that great. I'm surprised Robert Downy Jr. won supporting actor, he didn't even speak much, well, I guess that defines supporting I suppose. I also like Emily Blunt.
It was a struggle to get through that movie, but glad I watched. Three hours is very long and it kinda moves slow the first hour. I forced myself because I really like Cillian Murphy from Peaky Blinders. Also, I watched a TV series, Manhattan Project and building the bomb. It was really good and showed more detail on the scientists personal lives as well as working on the bomb. I’d love to read a good book on the subject. I don’t want to give spoilers in case someone wants to watch it. I picked up a lot the comparisons to today and clues about the evil of the past.
I watch that TV show and they did a really good job with that. My great grandfather worked on the Manhattan project. 🤔
I hope he told you stories about working on it.
Yes, Cillian Murphy is my new favorite actor. I really hope he is not "in the club". His interviews show him to be very down to earth. He is not the typical "hollywood faggot" that we see so often.
I love his presence. He has got the "in the moment" down very well.
I watched Peaky Blinders when it was released and instantly I loved him. But I’m a sucker for Irish and Scottish accents. The entire cast of Peaky Blinders was great. I hope he’s not in the club as well. Yeah, he seems to be grounded. Only time will tell.
