#literally read any text by BR Ambedkar #and do not come at me with 'oh but gita didn't say that-'#'oh that's a misinterpretation of hinduism-' and other nonsense #i say this as a person brought up in hindu religion ok #there could be very real criticisms for the movie w/o seeing it #like how all military adjacent films have involvement and influence of the pentagon which is quite literally the biggest war criminal #or how nolan has been known to promote america's imperialist ideology in the name of neoliberalism #but this ain't it #like girl a single movie scene or 'destroyer of worlds' in a pink barbie glittery design #won't diminish an entire religion which is already in the dirt.#oppenheimer #vi.txt
