Emily Blunt Laughs at Matt Damon's Awful Mustache for 'Oppenheimer'" 

General Groves is the unsung hero in the Manhattan Project saga; without his relentless perseverence the Project would very likely not have concluded successfully. I think Brian Denehhy's performance as the General in the excellent 'Day One' is a very skillful depiction of a the real driving force behind the creation of the Bomb.

I’ve seen the film, and I can safely say that they handle the complex moral dilemmas with great delicacy and attention, and they don’t actually show the bombing, just Oppenheimer’s guilt afterwards.

it still might trigger u

@@lakshmi4224 Love this version!! Finally Hollywood is waking up to what matters and what families are justified for such early years animosity! Tell the truth... be shameful!

You've got the order of the bombs wrong. The first bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, and the second on Nagasaki. Sorry for your loss.

Ultimately, the entire war in the Pacific could have been avoided, had Japan's military not lied to the Emperor, and pushed ahead with a sneak surprise attack on a naval base that killed thousands of boys.

If they didn't drop it then, they would have dropped it somewhere else later. Also even after two nukes, there was a military faction in Japan that tried to rebel and take over the govenrment just to stop the surrender, and almost succeeded. The firebombing of Japanese cities killed way more lives than the nuke anyways, as would the actual planned invasion of Japan that would have happened without unconditional surrender. (Truman called for Japan to unconditionally surrender at Postdam Conference or be destroyed, they didn't take it.) The line in the movie is apt: "They wouldn't understand it until they've used it". Even with the Hiroshima/Nagasaki, there was a faction in the US military that wanted to use nukes in the Korean War. In the end the anti-nuke faction in the military won out and if they didn't, nuclear use in normal warfare (I assume tactical as opposed to strategic) would be normalized. And one of the reasons they won that debate was because of the devastation and aftereffects of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to regard nuclear as a "different" type of weapon than normal ones. Since then until now, no more nuclear weapons have been used in an actual war.

@@kicapanmanis1060 None of what you're stating conflicts with the idea of initially "demonstrating" the A-Bomb by dropping one over an uninhabited area. If it wasn't sufficient to force the unconditional surrender, then the option to drop more bombs over inhabited areas remained. Because we chose not to stage a demonstration, we will never know whether it would have been enough. Instead, we have to live with the fact that the United States didn't do everything possible to avoid using atomic weapons, and is the only nation in the world to do so. That is not trivial IMHO. As for the numbers killed firebombing Japanese cities and the estimated fatalities of the proposed invasion, I can only say that war is inherently an atrocity. It is only justified as a matter of self-defense, and even so one must not abandon the notion of a proportional response.

It's good to know that Emily also grew a moustache for the movie, but she should shave it off now.

Matt has also been happily married for almost 20 years and he and his wife are friends and neighbours with Krasinsky and Blunt. They go on vacations together, have dinner parties, Matt wrote a script with John etc. Hence why they are so comfortable with eachother. So no, he wouldn't.

@tdrmn Of course I meant if he was single. If he was single he definitely would. Absolutely no question.

He may look like a complete moron with his baseball cap on backward but that's not what he said.

😂

I don't think there are many people with detailed knowledge of Oppenheimer. When you talk about him it's more specific knowledge that mostly scientists tend to have. Everyone ( including them) has heard his name at some point and knows that he is the creator of the atomic bomb but it's not the first name that comes to someone's mind when you hear WW2.

Most people I know have very little, if any, interest in history. I feel sorry for them.

They don't know about detail. Of course they know about who he is and what he create. You're ignorant and twist to suit your narrative

Damon went to Harvard

The fact that someone thought themselves so superior to know about an 80+ year old historical event but still used the wrong your/you're really speaks volumes about you individually and the internet in general. But I guess you never paid attention in English class
