of course Oppenheimer gets all the awards.
Eventually Christopher Nolan will be correctly and ignominiously remembered as a great propagandist instead of an artist
Christopher Nolan He's a technically impeccable director, but I've always seen his films without soul, and without identity. His brother who writes the scripts for his films he knows how to create interesting plots and cool ideas, but he doesn't know how to create a decent ending or keep the story going long-term.
I saw the film when it came out, apart from the cringe inducing communist house party scene I thought it was alright, pointing out how cold war hysteria reached absurd levels in the US.
The what? I've never seen the movie and don't intend to. Care to elaborate?
Theres a scene where Oppenheimer is invited to attend a party hosted by some communist friends of his brother. He has some silly conversations with them where they talk about abolishment of property and ownership, mainly making a lot of smugness all around. Tough to explain but it just feels off, try and find a clip of it if you're curious.
Also the first woman of the movie is introduced in this scene, 3 mins later she is already naked, its so absurd.
Nolan infamously cannot write women, at all. It's like he descended from a womanless planet. scary stuff
What I don't see many people talk about is how in my part of the world, and plenty of others, the film was actually censored to remove all of the nudity, so I didn't actually get too bad of an experience in that regard. But the way it was done was bizarrely technical, to the extent in a film that put so much effort into practical effects, that the heaviest amount of CGI used in the film was applying clothing to nude actors, pretty funny.
The scene where Oppenheimer is being interrogated and she’s on his lap staring right at his wife will haunt me for the rest of my life. I understand the metaphor, but it still sucks.
