In his latest film, "Oppenheimer," director Christopher Nolan examines the efforts of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer in the race to build the atomic bomb that ended World War II. What happened after the war proved to be an entirely different power struggle, as Oppenheimer was accused of being a Russian agent. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin talks with Nolan, and with Kai Bird, co-author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, "American Prometheus." He also visits Los Alamos and the Trinity site - Ground Zero for when the world changed.

Dr. Oppenheimer was another of those poor souls in world history who did what was asked of him, then was thrown under the bus by the people who asked him to do it. In my book, he is a true American hero. "Oppenheimer" is an amazing movie - everyone should see it.

Every time they show that clip of J.R Oppenheimer quoting a line of Lord Krishna from the Bhagwat Gita, i feel a little chill down my spine.

With some actors, they can overact to try and force the audience to forget the other characters they’ve played. Cillian is just a whole other person to the point that I thought I was watching the real guy. (Watched some of his interviews after the fallout and he does a great take on him).

My friends Dad worked at Los Alamos during the building of the bombs, where they were fabricating the parts for it. He had kept a diary stating how much fun everyone had on the weekends, and how they all knew they were building parts for the military but no one knew what they were building. Some guessed aircraft, some guessed military vehicles. He had stated everyone was in shock to find out they were building bombs of this magnitude. Everyone had real mixed emotions when they learned the death tolls. I guess they felt being at war with soldiers who have guns is one thing, but murdering an unsuspecting innocent population of people is another. War is war, but in a way they have a point. I mean, we gave them payback with Hiroshima for Pearl Harbor, but NAGASAKI??? If you look closely, Lady Liberty still has blood on her knuckles...

A repost, but I remember when I read all the books on Oppenheimer there were on a little section of the bookshelf at the university library (and later purchased at the bookstore) some years ago. His life read like a novel that couldn't be put down, and now that one of my favorite directors made a film about him it's incredible to think of! I also hope, given that Oppenheimer led the effort on something that much of foreign policy revolves around to this day, this movie reminds people of the value of being amicable with one another and the importance of global cooperation and unity.

That he was a modern-day Prometheus is such an apt comparison. Prometheus, a god himself, in Greek myth stole fire from the gods and gave it to humankind; hence he is known as the Friend of Man. And Zeus punished him for it by binding him to a rock in the Caucasus mountains where an eagle fed on his liver. Eternal punishment, because his liver regenerated each night, only to be eaten again. Here is a sonnet by the late Australian A. D. Hope which builds on this very Prometheus-Oppenheimer comparison: Prometheus Unbound Still fettered, still unconquered, still in pain, Bold in his hope and steadfast in his right, The Friend of Man on the Caucasian height Saw one vast flash to northward blast the plain. As Hermes, swooping down, struck off the chain And raised him, smiling, in that dazzling light, "Does the old tyrant, then, repent his spite," He asked, "or has Zeus ceased at last to reign?" "His wisdom is not mocked," the god replied, "Nor alters nor repeals the great decree. These are his words: 'Go, set the Titan free; And let his torment be to wander wide The ashes of mankind from sea to sea, Judging that theft of fire from which they died.'"

@hexedits369 how can you possibly disagree with that fact? Oppenheimer wasn't the only person with the knowledge to be able to build an atomic bomb. Maybe you need to educate yourself on the history of atomic energy? Disagreeing without explaining why you think that is a typical response from someone that knows nothing about the subject or the people involved.

Am looking forward to the movie. Finally a balanced, non-ideological story from a network. All of you should remember however, the vast majority of people in the US, UK, China and Japan and other nations, are alive because the US didn’t have to invade the mainland of Japan. Revisionist history says Japan would have surrendered anyway. No. Look at the last year of the war and the fanatical behavior of the Japanese. They were planning to die by the hundreds of thousands to force the Allies to give up. Truman made the right decision.

@allsomatt Год назад

If I call recall there was a requirement for every Japanese citizen woman and children included to bear arms at home and join the Japanese failing war effort. The Japanese administration at the time was in complete denial the casualties on both sides in the theatre of war would've been tenfold.

bit ironic you talk about `revisionist history` ..when your tale clearly is one. japan didn`t surrender because they were holding out for a truce, they were gambling on the soviets helping them negotiating for one. the soviets declared them war instead, and this is the main reason as to why japan surrendered, as the situation was now hopeless. the official story were an attempt to wash away genocide claims and US clearing its own concience, as the nukes/bombs were probably never needed for japans surrender. in any event, IF your story were true..im a bit surprised people still fall for the idea `ending the war` killing 300 000+ women and children somehow is an excuse for genocide

I don't bemoan the fact that the atomic bomb was developed in the U.S. but I firmly believe it wasn't necessary to drop it on Japan. Japan was all but defeated. It lost all of its foreign bases and was hemmed in by U.S. forces. Also the Soviet Union was poised to join the fight. The end of the war was evident, there was no need to actually invade the islands of Japan.

While I think it’s a an absorbing story, to me it seems a missed opportunity to highlight the work of female scientists at the time. The Manhattan Project would not have been possible without the work of Lise Meitner, who along with her lab partners, discovered the energy released by splitting atoms. As a Jew she was forced to flee from the Nazis. And although she wanted no part in working on an atomic bomb, she was also never recognized for her important role in the discovery of nuclear fission. This is the type of story I would like to see told.

No. The fact is that there was a network of spies operating at the highest levels of the Manhattan Project and they gave the secrets to the atomic bomb to the Soviets.

@Mike44460 Год назад

On the morning of March 10th, 1945, the emperor awoke to gaze upon his capital city on fire, more than 100,000 dead. Sixteen square miles were ablaze because the B-29's from Tinian, Guam, and Saipan had been there hours earlier. What could Japan possibly do to counter an attack of this magnitude. Nothing. They could not strike the islands nearly 1,500 miles away to put them out of action. The Americans will continue to burn Japan to the ground until they run out of bombs, yet you fight on. The emperor could have saved many lives on both sides had he just surrendered after these attacks. He is as guilty as any other war criminal.

@richardgarrett8087 Год назад

What disturbs me is I get the impression Oppenheimer seemed not to care if the Russians had the Bomb and we should not have it. Supposedly Harry Truman threw Oppenheimer out of his office, get him out of here. The decision (Hiroshima/Nagasaki) was mine and I slept well on it. Leaving this country defenseless against Russia says a lot about his possible Communist ties.
