one thing i don't get is people expecting the oppenheimer biopic to focus on anything other than.... oppenheimer and his life/ perspective. and i think people are telling on themselves bc there is surely an abundance of art made by japanese people about their experience of the bombings so really people should be looking into that instead i think yk? idk it's just like certain art is about certain subject matter and oppenheimer is about oppenheimer...

#obligatory disclaimer but of course nothing is above criticism and there's plenty to talk about irt oppenheimer #and the historical ignornoring of the groups most affected is horrific #but i just feel like people don't want to think about a movie #or they went into this film w very skewed expectations #idk... but it's just like do u really want christopher nolan to try and tell that story?? like would u really want that #m #i feel like people aren't willing to actively search and seek out different stories #like they just want what's easily available to them #bc you can do your own research!! u can look into history and find new information about people and events that aren't in movies #i think that yeah it sucks that so much focus is on white men from history #but art and film and history of others DOES EXIST!! if u really care then taking the time to look deeper and doing research won't bother you
