seeing the discourse around whether oppenheimer should have represented japanese/indigenous americans and I just wanna say I think they can feel however they want about this film
#people are pointing out that Oppenheimer doesn’t represent JPN or indigenous peoples#and the reactions has been very aggressively “THE MOVIE IS CALLED OPPENHEIMER YOU IDIOT!!!!#like no fucking shit but can you not see things from their perspective are you as limited as oppenheimer himself#like yes I understand that it was Nolan’s intentional choice to center the movie so heavily around oppenheimer#to convey just how self-centered and unconcerned he and americans were about the lives of the JPN/IP#and so by not including them it is a direct representation of how absent they truly were in the eyes of americans#and the movie is strictly from Oppenheimer’s perspective it wouldn’t be historically accurate blah blah blah#okay I understand all that and it is reasonable#but imagine if you were part of either of these communities where the most devastating bombs were dropped on CIVILIANS#would nolan’s directing choices matter to you because I would not give a fuck#like you are not going to talk about the atomic bomb AND CENTER THE NARRATIVE AROUND THE WAR CRIMINAL???#idgaf if it portrays him badly you need to make him seem even worse by portraying the victims#and especially when americans to this day still act like it was justified I especially understand why this remains a sensitive topic#and apparently there was a scene where americans were like “dont bomb kyoto cause we vacationed there#and the point is to depict just how utterly careless and selfish americans are when it came to human lives#but apparently people in the theaters laughed during this part#so that just goes to show effective nolan’s method was. like did we really think americans would understand the nuances#idk just my thoughts
