Science has profoundly altered the conditions of man's life, both materially and in ways of the spirit as well. It has extended the range of questions in which man has a choice. It has extended man's freedom to make significant decisions.

No one can predict what vast new continents of knowledge the future of science will discover.

But we know that as long as men are free to ask what they will, free to say what they think, free to think what they must, science will never regress and freedom itself will never be wholly lost."

-- J. Robert Oppenheimer

I think a lot of people had a lot of ready-made takes on the Oppenheimer movie about how it "lionizes" or "glorifies" Robert Oppenheimer and his bomb, and I really wonder what movie they were watching. The Oppenheimer in this movie is a weirdo who makes a lot of stupid decisions, constantly gives the impression he's not saying what he really thinks (because it's never a hundred percent clear what he really thinks about anything), and seems to have convinced himself by film's end that he's responsible for what will ultimately be the end of the world. He's also shown as a brilliant scientist and project manager and something other than history's greatest monster. He's not the hero of the movie; he's just the subject.

Other criticisms, such that this story of the man who built the bomb does not let in much air for the stories about the people who were hurt by the bomb, are more valid. The movie really does not have much to say about the people affected by the Trinity test, and has little to say about the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that isn't from Oppenheimer's point of view. I think there was room for that discourse in this movie, and it would have furthered the movie's purpose. But it also bears remembering that this movie did not purport to be the definitive and comprehensive story of the atomic bomb, but rather to be a story about the man who built it.

She's everything. He's just the father of the atomic bomb.

Since we're all talking about Barbenenheimer and making it a meme

Oppenheimer regretted his part in creating the nuclear bomb for the rest of his life

And the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not a necessary evil

There is no situation, no justification, that could ever make that the right decision

It's always the wrong choice to drop nuclear bombs on civilians

Don't buy into USAmerican propaganda

Folks, nothing has cracked me up lately like the fact that after weeks of discourse about the film that boiled down to -- both figuratively and, god help us, literally -- “Oppenheimer should have had a scene where he looked at the camera and said “Nukes bad...” ...I finally watched Oppenheimer and it does, in fact, have a scene where he looks at the camera and says “Nukes bad.”

When Kitty Oppenheimer said:

"You don't get to commit a sin, and then ask all of us to feel sorry for you when there are consequences."

[lottiesprophecy]

i wonder if the movie will have the scene where Oppenheimer tried to poison his Cambridge professor with a literal poison apple. or that time where one of his friends got engaged and instead of congratulating said friend Oppenheimer attacks him and chokes him.
