<p>I was so disappointed in Oppenheimer. It wasn't terrible, but what | ||
a missed opportunity.</p> | ||
<p><strong>Mystifying</strong>. Part of the job of a movie like this is to give you | ||
insight into what the person is thinking and feeling. Especially | ||
in this case -- what would it be like to be the person who made | ||
these terrible weapons? That's really what I wanted to get from | ||
this movie. I understand he's complicated, and <em>it's</em> complicated. | ||
But instead of dialog, or even some outright explaining, this movie | ||
leans on of Cillian Murphy staring into the distance or adjusting his hat.</p> | ||
<p><strong>Women</strong>. There were plenty of interesting women around -- in | ||
academia, in the Manhattan project, in relationships. There are | ||
only two women in the movie: one is a sex object with mental health | ||
issues (Pugh); the other is a mother/lush with a surprisingly sharp | ||
tongue and wit, but only for a minute (Blunt). The sex scene, quoting | ||
Oppenheimer's most famous line, was gratuitous and super weird.</p> | ||
<p><strong>Strauss</strong>. I'm not invested at all in the conflict with Admiral | ||
Strauss. Paraphrasing the commentary on this by the good folks at | ||
<a href="https://www.theincomparable.com/theincomparable/703/">The Incomparable</a>, "I don't care if some guy becomes Commerce | ||
Secretary in the Eisenhower Cabinet."</p> | ||
<p><strong>Mystifying</strong>. Part of the job of a biopic is to give you insight | ||
into what a person is thinking and feeling. Especially for this | ||
movie, which is basically about this question: what would it be | ||
like to be the person who made these terrible weapons? I understand | ||
he's complicated, and <em>it's</em> complicated. But instead of dialog, | ||
or even some outright explaining, this movie leans on of Cillian | ||
Murphy staring into the distance or adjusting his hat.</p> | ||
<p><strong>Women</strong>. There were plenty of interesting women they could have | ||
brought in, either contemporaries, or from academia, or the | ||
Manhattan project itself. There are only two women in the movie: | ||
one is a sex object with mental health issues (Pugh); the other is | ||
a mother/lush with a surprisingly sharp wit, but only for a minute | ||
(Blunt). The sex scene, oddly using Oppenheimer's most famous line, | ||
was gratuitous and super weird.</p> | ||
<p><strong>Strauss</strong>. I'm not invested at all in the conflict with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Strauss">Admiral | ||
Strauss</a>. Paraphrasing the good folks at <a href="https://www.theincomparable.com/theincomparable/703/">The Incomparable</a>, "I | ||
don't care if some guy becomes Commerce Secretary in the Eisenhower | ||
Cabinet."</p> | ||
<p>Given how much I like the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Making-Atomic-Bomb-Richard-Rhodes/dp/1451677618">history and the science</a> of this | ||
period, I really pulling for this movie. Dang.</p></description><guid>https://sef.kloninger.com/posts/oppenheimer/</guid><pubDate>Mon, 19 Feb 2024 21:20:00 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss> | ||
