Same here man. I watched it in an IMAX screen and after the movie ended , I wanted to buy another ticket for the next show and watch it all over again.

@jesustovar2549 9 месяцев назад

I watched it 2 times, the 2nd time was even better, I watched it on the biggest screen yet I could find, it was the best experience I had, unfortunately I have no IMAX in my country (they were going to open an IMAX theater a long time ago but I didn't see any progress), as I left the room, I spoke with a man about the consequences of how powerful elites use your work and push you aside, and that it serves as a reflection in a world that is still surrounded by wars and various threats, he told me "it mmight be necessary to watch this film again, because there are many details to grasp". I learned many things about self-control, the importance and management of opinion and how ideas can improve or destroy the world, I didn't leave depressed, the best thing one could do after seeing the movie is to know that you have to work for peace, I hope there's nuclear disarmament afterwards and all the proceeds from the film go to the organizations of residents in New Mexico who are descendants of the Trinity victims and have suffered from cancer and other diseases for decades. I already knew about Oppenheimer and the Mannhattan Project, I read everything I could and watch YT videos about the subject to get prepared, as I left the theatre, I wanted to learn more, if a biopic leaves you wanting to know more about a subject, then it did its job well, I think this is Nolan's most mature, serious and accomplished film, I get it might not be for everyone, since it's not sci-fi, superheroe or action and I'm glad about that, I need more original and well made movies that leave me something good to think about, but often most divissive films that don't appeal for anyone, are the most interesting to discuss and dissect.

Strangely enough, the ending didn't leave me with a newfound existential dread or something after leaving the theatre, I think it's because I was already well aware of the danger of a nuclear holocaust. But... the whole ending conversation scene did give me chills and it was the perfect way to end the movie, it was probably the scene that had the biggest emotional impact on me. The last sentence spoken "I believe we did" is so simple, yet so effective and meaningful. Hat's off to Nolan.

@vishrut1000 9 месяцев назад

India and China have a treaty of not using fire-arms on their 2000 mile border, only because they both have nuclear weapons. So they fight with sticks and stones today leading to extremely low casualties. Without nukes there would have already been full fledged wars with tens of thousands of casualties. Nukes have brought decades of peace because all the big powers have them leading to smaller skirmishes instead of highly destructive wars, in which big powers like UK or France fought with millions of casualties.

That's exactly why Barbenheimer worked. They both seem completely opposite but they talk about the self destructive nature of humanity. Oppenheimer focuses on how humans can quite literally end the world while Barbie focuses how we also destroy ourselves. Both movies genuinely feel like artwork that was pushed by the writers and director instead of the company trying to get money.

@georged8644 9 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for this excellent review!!! It is nice to know that at least one reviewer actually watched the movie!!! One minor criticism... "He pursues Tatlock even though he is only interested in noncommittal trysts." In reality, he proposed marriage numerous times, at least twice but likely more. In fact, it was Jean who was supposed to accompany him to the ranch. She cancelled at the last minute to attend a party event in New Jersey. He invited Kitty along instead. She became pregnant on that trip, divorced her second husband, and married Oppie. Jean was the one woman he was most smitten by, but she was never able to commit to him fully. They were both badly mentally ill and argued frequently. Kitty was actually the backup girl who became his wife due to circumstances, leading to the conflict that nearly tore him apart. I saw the death of Jean Tatlock as a harbinger of things to come. If the project could take away and destroy the woman he truly loved, then it could ultimately take anything and everything away from him. In fact, Oppie named the test "Trinity" because of a line in a John Donne poem that he and Jean both loved together.

@KaterynaM_UA 8 месяцев назад

@ldc0322 8 месяцев назад

12:07 Actually from what I could read, in real life Oppenheimer did propose at least twice to Tatlock and she was the one refusing as she was unsure whether or not she wanted to stay with him.

@sydposting 9 месяцев назад

Dang, dude, this essay finally made me understand the choices for "Fission" and "Fusion" as labels for Oppenheimer's and Strauss' POV! I particularly like how you latched on to the idea of entanglement as a metaphor, re: the role of Jean Tatlock. I interpreted the scene where he reads a section of the Baghavad Gita to her as two sources of guilt becoming conflated in the process of recollection. I feel like the train-like sound of the stomping feet from the pep rally is used in a similar fashion to ramp up tension well before the rally happens in the film, which makes the reveal of the source of the noise all the more effective. A sound of dread echoing from a "triumphant" scene. Perfect cognitive dissonance.

@DiamondWoodStudios 5 месяцев назад

I like to look at the fission heading as the ‘split’ of Oppenheimer’s psyche for us to see inside And the fusion heading is meant to show what happens when two personalities collide (oppi and strauss)

Great insights, thank you. In all fairness to Strauss, because he deserves accurate remembrance by history too, he was much more than a shoe salesman. He led a life of public service (look up his military service during WW2) and philanthropy and was a self- made millionaire. He had planned to study physics as a young man, so most likely had some understanding of it. And I'm finding myself as lost in this film as you are. Could watch it another 20 times and would still be mesmerized.

@AlexaDonne 9 месяцев назад

I love how it's a film that builds on itself, and benefits from multiple viewings not just in the typical "now you know the twist, so watch it back for the clues!" way, but also emotionally, and in terms of character work/writing. The scene you mention, which is also my favorite, flummoxed me the first time and that plus the end scene are the reasons I went back a second and third time. And that second and third time, I found myself crying at multiple parts, just from an awful sadness, re: the things the film doesn't show, doesn't *explicitly* say about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, while simultaneously screaming it at us. Absolutely a masterpiece. I'm very very excited to see what comes next from Nolan's partnership with Universal after this.

@dannyredfern2154 9 месяцев назад

The contrast between Oppenheimer's final visions of science driving the destruction of the earth in contrast to his visions of the wonders of science and the universe at the start of the film totally floored me. The whole film is such a tremendous and beautiful punch to the gut and every single aspect of its production is phenomenal.

@pjalex923 9 месяцев назад

Really great analysis, but I would have to disagree about your analysis of the Oppenheimer/Tatlock relationship. I’ve seen the movie twice and during both viewings, I didn’t get the impression that Oppenheimer just treated Jean Tatlock as a hookup and carelessly played with her emotions. In fact, I think it was clearly the other way around and Oppenheimer feeling confused by Tatlock’s capricious behavior. To play along with the the thematic binary of the film, I thought it was obvious that Oppenheimer deeply cared about Tatlock and would have wanted something serious with her…fusion…if it wasn’t for her fighting her own mental health issues that was causing the fission. It’s not shown in the movie, but in real life, Oppenheimer had proposed to Tatlock twice, and she refused. So I thought him bringing her flowers was a genuine gesture of his love for her rather than something callous. She wasn’t in the right frame of mind to have a relationship, frequently rejects his romances, and yet she pulls him along (I don’t think maliciously), still giving him hope. There’s even a line where he says something about feeling so confused by her behavior. And he also proclaims his devotion to her and says he will always answer her call. So I think the balance of power clearly leaned towards her at the beginning of their romance. And ultimately, Oppenheimer realizes he’ll never be able to have what he wants wit her and moves on with Kitty. And I got the impression that this failed relationship with Tatlock really affected him, took away some of the innocence of the unsure, wide-eyed nerd that he was when he first met her, and shaped him into the colder, more confident “womanizer” persona. And yes, he meets Tatlock later on once he’s married. But again, I don’t think at this moment, Oppenheimer was doing this in a callous way, treating her like a mistress to exploit. She reached out to him. She utilizes her mental distress (again, I don’t think maliciously) to manipulate him into seeing her. She knew he couldn’t resist this cry for help, because I felt like Jean was his true love. But at this point, the power dynamic has changed. Tatlock realizes he’s no longer devoted to her when he tells her he can never see her again. She even calls him out for going back on his previous statement of always being there for her. And when Oppenheimer finalizes the “fission” of this toxic relationship, it ends in a violent explosive way with her eventual suicide…just like the violent conclusion of the successful fission test of the bomb. I thought that parallel was very clever on Nolan’s part. Anyways, that’s my interpretation of their relationship.

I felt like every shot, every line had intent. No filler. The score was amazing. Stunned to see a project like this be executed so well.

@notaulgoodman9732 8 месяцев назад

Just seeing the dread in Oppenheimer’s eyes as he realized what he had just created during that speech scene made me feel a way I had never felt before then. The stomping feet, his imagination depicted by the scenery, and how it was capped off by others realizing the same thing. It felt like tension for a whole 2 hours and that scene was the release of it. What came next was good but that scene felt like an amazing climax to the initial momentum.

Saw it for the 2nd time in theaters yesterday and brought my mum. It is a definite masterpiece. Watching a second time, I noticed many nuances and was able to understand the dialogue better than the first time. On the 2nd watch I saw it on a 70mm screen and the Trinity test was amazing. I'm just bummed I missed the IMAX showing...they should've let it run longer in IMAX theaters. I may go watch a 3rd time.

@tellewosayzaytellewoyan4699 8 месяцев назад

I saw it 5x already! The last time I saw it was in IMAX 70mm. To say it was worth it would be such an understatement. An ASTOUNDING achievement from Christopher Nolan. Might be his best film since Dunkirk. I hope to see it in IMAX again in the future. Expect multiple Oscar nods to come its way. 😉

@nicholasloduca6668 9 месяцев назад

To me, the standout performance going under the radar is Alden Ehrenreich. His role is largely just a stand in for the audience being told the story if you think about but his performance that really hits home the eventual condemnation of Strauss

FilmSpeak Bravo! Oh man! The way you extract and distill meaning from what is already a meaningful and arresting depiction such that I feel you handed me eyeglasses with which I can better see and understand what up until then was a fuzzy outline and a hazy understanding of what was really being shown me in this film. I’m awed and humbled. Thank you for your meticulous work and deep insights and sharing them with us so skillfully and compellingly.

@janevalencia5727 3 месяца назад

@FilmSpeak I’ve watched many explanations of the film and yours by far is the best comprehensive break down of all the connecting parts of the film. Nolan’s adaptation and interpretation of “American Prometheus” along with Cillian Murphy’s performance left me spellbound and a desire to do a deep dive on all things Oppenheimer!

@IzWiz777 Месяц назад

i think the scene of the auditorium address is impactful as well because he comes to a sudden precipice of what was once a small curiosity that became a massive destructive force in the world for all time to come and people are celebrating him. nolan created this perfect actualization of oppy being as mentally and spiritually obliterated as the bomb he helped to drop on millions of human beings and the way the scene comes to this massive cacophony of sound, like oppenheimer and his legacy will only ever be able to exist in that state, drowning in the white noise everytime someone congratulates or commends him

@JohnnyNiteTrain 6 месяцев назад

So I saw this once in IMAX, once in a regular theater, and then for the third time tonight after I bought it today… With each viewing I’ve tended to focus on different aspects of the film, the first time being stoked for the Trinity Test obviously, the second time I really keyed into each actor’s performance, but this third time I kinda watched it in awe of Nolan’s writing and directing process (and Van Hoytemas photography), the typical Nolan non-linear narrative structure with the different time lines interwoven, and I was just blown away, AGAIN!! Throw in Göransson’s score to up the tension… all of these things combined make this not only the best movie of the year but imo the best film of Nolan’s career…. With the potential to nab 12-13 Oscar nominations. Damn what an experience. Great video by the way 👏🏼

@jjstarrprod 9 месяцев назад

Waow ! What an analysis ! It's great to see that the movie was so damn fantastically inspiring that it inspired countless fantastic essays on it, of which yours is totally a standout. You put in words what I had been struggling to identify, as the movie was such a whirlwind of contradicting emotions. I just watched it (finally) a few days ago, on its last day in IMAX, because all the previous days were fully booked, and goddamn ! What a gigantic slap in my face this movie was ! A 3h long IMAX sized slap ! A great comeback for Nolan, whose previous movie Tenet felt like a bit of a disappointment to me. I would love to go watch Oppenheimer again, but I feel like it's a movie to be experienced in IMAX and nothing less ... The cinematography of Hoyte van Hoytema, acting by... Well, half of Hollywood, sound designs, and the incredible score by Ludwig Goransson, the editing, vfx, all of these joined in unison to make a movie that feels out of this world. Truly something unique we've never seen onscreen before. The last few shots have been haunting me for the past few days. One that I feel finally surpassed his final shot of Inception (in the "gonna have people talk about it for a long time" department)

@FilmSpeak 9 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! That means a lot. I totally agree that the ending is right up there with Inception which is a MASSIVE achievement.

@recetasfaciles2816 9 месяцев назад

Para mí es la confirmación de que Christopher Nolan es uno de los grandes cineastas, ya no solo de nuestro siglo, sino de la historia. No hay palabras suficientes para describir a Oppenheimer de manera que le haga honor a su grandeza. Nolan lleva su estilo lo más lejos posible hasta las últimas consecuencias, hilando una muy elaborada trama a través de dos líneas narrativas contiguas, a la vez que avancemos y retrocedimos en el tiempo, creando uno de los más grandes mosaicos narrativos jamás hechos, en mi humilde opinión. Logramos asistir en primera fila a la reconstrucción de un hecho histórico; a un fascinante estudio de personaje; a un retrato de la sociedad de dicha época; y, finalmente, a una aterradora y necesaria advertencia sobre nuestro futuro. Y seguro que hay más cosas que se pueden rescatar de esta monumental película. Imprescindible verla en la mejor pantalla posible. 10/10

@Robinjhoe1 3 месяца назад

Great analysis! Usually movies never influence how i fell and i never understood why people cried or got overly emotional for movies since i see them just as entertainment to get distracted for a couple of hours. This will sound edgy and cringe to some, but this movie made my body freaking react. The last shot where they show what Oppenheimer and Einstein were talking about at the pond and then just cut to black made me shiver and shed a tear, it was so intense and powerful. Never had a movie experience like this and im happy that i was able to see it.

@maryvasilakakos7387 2 месяца назад

Fabulous review! On every point! Knowledgeable and respectful and evidenced from the work of Nolan itself. I agree that Nolan's work is not devoid of emotion, but it's emotion caught up in the conflicts and push-pulls of his grand themes. Cerebral and emotional are not mutually exclusive in his work. Oppenheimer is possibly the most haunting film I've seen, and I'm a dyed in the wool Akira Kurosawa fan. Best wishes from Melbourne 😊❣️

@jacko250 9 месяцев назад

I’d love to see you make a video on the late great Czech director Miloš Forman who sadly gets very overlooked and I’m yet to see a decent RU-vid video on him. I found Nolan took a lot of influence from him on the making of Oppenheimer as Forman became very famous for his biopic films, which are all great, in that he would deliberately portray the complexities of each of his subjects in a nuanced manner plus one of his directorial trademarks was casting well known character actors in smaller roles which Nolan did in Oppenheimer. In the documentary ‘The Making of Amadeus’ Forman stated “I think the small parts are as important as the main characters, in certain ways I am paying more attention to casting smaller bit parts because once you see them you will never forget them” which is why I think his films heavily feature a lot of reaction shots due to the stacked cast. I think you could do him justice with a decent video essay in his life and work!

@vittoriamartinetto8459 8 месяцев назад

@kristym8641 9 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed your analysis! This movie has made me think and feel like no other. I think it's because of the very real devastating subject matter and what it means for our uncertain future. I highly recommend the PBS American Experience documentary on Oppenheimer. It's on RU-vid and does a great job explaining the historical events in the movie and more, like his childhood and inner turmoil from a young age. There are also guys who worked with him that talk throughout. Having watched the doc for a fuller understanding, I can't wait to get back to the theaters for a rewatch!
