Sectionalism's Review of 'Oppenheimer'

Don't expect this one to be as long as my essay on Barbie. I might upload that one on here as well, as it has since been black holed from iFunny (for no reason, as most black holed posts are these days). And don't expect these to be much more formal than my essays on iFunny. It's casual.

Anyways, I enjoyed Oppenheimer. It was a brilliantly directed movie. Christopher Nolan is good at what he does. The cast is very good. Cillian Murphy, in particular, plays a great Oppenheimer. He has a great face for the role. Oppenheimer had this bony face and deep, smoky voice which Murphy emulates well. What I will say about the casting, is that it is a reddit cast. It's full of actors that redditors will recognize and soyface over. Cillian Murphy, RDJ, Matt Damon are the big guns, but then you have all these actors famous for their roles in other shows. Chandler from friends, the guy from The Boys, Rodrick from DoaWK, Rami Malek, Green Goblin from Sony Spiderman, and that one guy who was in Ant Man. See, I can only name Rami Malek but I know all of these actors from random shit and redditors are already pogging over it. Pretty sure Josh from Drake and Josh is even in it. WTF?

As far as the actual story of Oppenheimer goes, I'm not sure the movie is exactly historically accurate. I certainly would take it with a grain of salt. This is mostly just ways to flare up the overall story, and to explain historical circumstances to the audience which were not actually explained or even known by the characters at the time. They talk a lot about spies within the project in the movie, but honestly the Manhattan Project was a legendary feat of secrecy. Almost everyone working on the project had no idea what they were working on. The movie does discuss this well with the whole compartmentalization emphasis. The Soviet spying presence in our government mostly arose in the wake of Hiroshima, not before it, but the Soviets did have a huge amount of spies within other parts of our Government during WWII, including people (largely Jewish people) very close to the highest offices of the Executive branch ex: Harry Dexter White.

Now, was Oppenheimer a Communist? I think Oppenheimer probably was not very political in the first place, and so he was being honest about having simply dabbled in Communism. If he did collaborate with the Soviet Union, it was probably because he was afraid of the US using nuclear bombs again without the existence of another nuclear power to assure mutual destruction. Which is retarded and treacherous, but there is a fair amount of evidence that Oppenheimer actually did collaborate with the Soviets afaik.

These great minds like Oppenheimer don't have the headspace for politicking. The idea that Oppenheimer, Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Bohr were all these devout Hindus too is also a bit much in my opinion. They were not philosophers or theologians. They were physicists. Oppenheimer had a lot of Communist friends because he was a Jewish Academic. Oppenheimer cared about stopping Fascism because he was a Jewish Academic. He felt personally threatened by Nazi Germany's rhetoric and attitude towards people like him which is why he was an interventionist from the start of the war. If he was so terrified of Germany using the bomb he shouldn't have been so in favor of escalating the war in the first place. In 1940 Hitler was not perceived as any more of a whackadoodle than, say, Joseph Stalin was, and yet you see all of these Jewish scientists asking for Soviet cooperation on the Bomb.

Oppenheimer is portrayed in the movie through mixed lenses. He isn't glorified or lambasted, which I think is fair. Oppenheimer was kind of a hypocrite, again owing in large part to his bias against Nazi Germany which he did not hold for the Soviet Union. But he is portrayed as practical and moderate compared to some of his colleagues. Oppenheimer falling for Jewish Communist Pussy is pretty funny. I think Oppenheimer should not worry about personal responsibility. Clearly someone would eventually discover the bomb. Might as well grab hold of destiny and be that guy. Clearly he didn't understand the Bhagavad Gita if he was so depressed over it, but I don't really know what to make of Oppenheimer.

Anyways, I don't want to get too off track. I didn't mind looking at that girls titties in the movie but they would have been better if the nipples are a lighter color. And that's all I have to say about that. GOODBYE!
