Oppenheimer Short Review


Oppenheimer revolves around Oppenheimer Security hearing. The Proceedings were conducted by United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) doubting Oppenheimer to be a spy of Soviet Union who supported communism/Communist ideologies. 

Oppenheimer addresses about the necessity what United States had towards Atom Bomb during the second world war. If America didn't create the Atom Bomb, sooner or later Germany would have created one. 

Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer headed the Los Alamos Labaratory during second world War where he played a crucial role in creating, designing and developing the world's First Atom Bomb for Manhattan project. Success of Manhattan project made United States to go for Hiroshima & Nagasaki Bombings. Success of Manhattan Project and the Success of Hiroshima & Nagasaki Bombings brought Oppenheimer to Limelight. Times Magazine headlined Oppenheimer as
 " Father of Atom Bomb"  

Oppenheimer addresses about the Love life of Oppenheimer. His relationship with Jean Tatlock and his marriage life with Katherine. Jean Tatlock was a psychiatrist and a physician. She was a member of Communist party of the United States of America. Oppenheimer had an on and off relationship with Jean Tatlock. He had relationship with her even after his marriage. Jean Tatlock committed suicide which affected Oppenheimer. 

Oppenheimer addresses about the inner conflicts and conscience of Oppenheimer after the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Bombings. Oppenheimer thought that his hands were full of blood as he felt he was responsible for the Bombings.

Oppenheimer meets President Truman who says that it is not Oppenheimer who is responsible for the Bombings rather himself as he has sanctioned the project. 

Oppenheimer addresses about the Interpersonal relationships of Oppenheimer with his fellow scientists and United States Army.  His association with Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Edward Teller, Ernest Lawrence and many other scientists..His association with Leslie Groves.

Oppenheimer addresses about the difference of opinions that was between Oppenheimer and Edward Teller. Edward Teller proposed the idea of Hydrogen Bomb. Oppenheimer felt that idea of Hydrogen Bomb was impractical and isn't feasible. An Atom Bomb can be tested. But a Hydrogen Bomb cannot be tested like that as it can be exponential, bigger and dangerous. 

Oppenheimer addresses about the grudge, jealousy and enviousness what Lewis Strauss had towards Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer addresses about how Lewis Strauss influenced FBI and AEC officers to go against Oppenheimer. A False hearing that was made to revoke the security clearance of Oppenheimer. 
 
The hearing officially revoked Oppenheimers security clearance. U.S. Senate rejected Lewis Strauss nomination as there was a  testification against Strauss in his own hearing pointing out his personal grudges towards Oppenheimer and his agenda against Oppenheimer. Strauss was denied a cabinet position by the senate. 

Oppenheimer addresses that Atom Bomb is a destructive weapon that can destroy humanity. Something that we shouldn't have invented. If Wars happen and if Atom Bombs are strategically used as a weapon, then they can certainly disturb the peace of humanity.

Oppenheimer gave a feeling of watching someone's life for real. Cillian Murphy has given a commendable Performance as  Oppenheimer.

As Lewis Strauss, Robert Downey Jr. has given a commendable Performance. 

As Leslie Groves, Matt Damon has performed well. 

Emily blunt and Florence Pugh have performed their roles well.

Casting is Big. All of them have performed their roles well within their scope.

The Special and Practical effects that were made for Oppenheimer is Impressive. Visuals are stunning. 

Sound design was Impressive.

Cinematography of Hoyte Van Hoyte is Impressive. 

Jennifer Lame Editing is Impressive.

Minus: 1. Running time is Lengthy. 2. Gave a feeling of watching a Documentary at times 3. Those who look for an Entertainer from Christopher Nolan might be disappointed. 

Overall, A Well Made Biographical Film!!!
