Yeah I don’t think y’all understand what I’m saying. America hired Nazis after WWII in our CIA and NASA. Our government was also complicit in Hitlers rise to power. The line in the trailer about building the bomb before the Nazis is total propaganda. But there’s also no evidence that Oppenheimer knew any of that so maybe he was being used too. I can see Nolan addressing that perhaps but I hardly doubt he’s going to touch our involvement with Nazis.
Not sure I understand your point. Nolan's film is not about post-WWII missile, rocket, and space research. It's not about Wernher von Braun. It's not about T-Force and Operation Paperclip. It's not about the OSS or the early days of the agency.
All of those subjects/events would make for great films or miniseries. I believe David Simon was pitching a miniseries to HBO about the early days of the agency, based on Tim Weiner's Legacy of Ashes (
In Development). Maybe such a series would be a great way to explore some of those events.
There are also excellent documentaries on the subjects you're interest in. Most recently PBS put out Chasing the Moon (created by a Brit) and Blue Sky Metropolis.
Nearly 50 years ago, we took one small step. In 2019, join American Experience and PBS to relive the journey that defined a generation.

“Blue Sky Metropolis” is the story of how aerospace was central to California’s growth.

I think I understand your desire to counterbalance the genius of scientific discovery with moral questions of good and evil, I'm just not sure Nolan is the guy for that. Not sure that's what he's interested in exploring.
I don't need half-baked moral asides shoehorned into his film if that's not what he's interested in.
