I found it very dull & bailed after an hour. One of those films designed to win Oscar’s?Watched Oppenheimer on Sky last night, way too long and not a great movie, good cinematography though but usual American we won the war shite.
A family friend, Josh Finan is in it and talks passionately about the community spirit of the cast - series one was excellentVery much looking forward to The Responder season 2, starting tonight, after the excellent series 1.
Your family friend is a superb young actor. A bright future is absolutely on the cards, IMO.A family friend, Josh Finan is in it and talks passionately about the community spirit of the cast - series one was excellent
I’ve watched it 3 times so far, thought it was so good I bought the BluRay. Like many of Christopher Nolan’s movies it isn’t easy, you have to get your head around the time-shifts, but I think it’s a great movie for sure. Cillian Murphy is outstanding, delighted he got the Oscar, the music is superb - worth hunting down the YouTube films about the composing process. Enjoyed Dunkirk very much also - another Nolan movie.Watched Oppenheimer on Sky last night, way too long and not a great movie, good cinematography though but usual American we won the war shite.
As sex scenes go it isn’t much to get excited about, and certainly not a reason to either watch or not watch the movie. Scientists are as allowed to be as horny and unfaithful as anyone else. I don’t think it is intended to be the story of the bomb, surely it is the story of Oppenheimer, who he was and how he was treated.People have encouraged me to watch it (as they know about my interest in all things sciencey), but when I found out that it had a "sex scene" in it I decided to ignore it. I know the actual story of the bomb from various documentaries etc, I don't need to watch some "titilated" version.

Aye I think it needs further viewing don’t think I could sit through it again to be honest.I’ve watched it 3 times so far, thought it was so good I bought the BluRay.

Well evidently he was! Gary Oldman played him brilliantly I thought.Trueman came across as an especially arrogant little shit.
It is when it's gratiutous and there's simply no point to it as it adds exactly nothing to the point of the film. We all know people have sex, so what?certainly not a reason to either watch or not watch the movie

It’s pretty good, I’m a sucker for anything 70s & Cold War though.Spy/Master on iPlayer looks very classy.
Wasn't someone asking about good spy films (or TV series) recently?
There is a doc on him, thinks it’s on the BBC? I struggle with films this long, they rarely justify the investment of time.I thought it was a great opportunity missed I came away totally confused as to what Oppenheimer the man and scientist was all about but then it wasn’t really about him it was about the American military and that clown Strauss.
I‘d have much preferred to have watched a biopic of the man himself he did, after all, have a pretty shitty personal life wrt his wife’s death and his daughter’s suicide plus the death of Jean Talbot.
