Oppenheimer (Directed by Christopher nolan)
- Thread starter Max.
- Start date
are you talking about this film?
Not showing Japanese victims was kind of the point, and I even feel would be grossly inappropriate for a (white) American to do.
Oppenheimer's, and the other Americans, reactions are the point - from flagwaving to throwing up to Oppie in the middle. Him being removed from the actual act and victims, is also the point.
We really didn't need a Japanese point of view, and when we do (and we do), it should be told by them and nobody else.

For me, nope. Because it was only from 1 perspective. They didn't even show the Heisenberg perspective, even thoigh he was a driving force of a lot of the actions in the movie. So that there was no confusion when deciding which emotional character(s) to latch onto.
But I do think they missed an opportunity in not delving enough into the emotional state of Oppenheimer.

Arnold Jackson
Murphy - Best actor
RDJ - Best supporting
Ton of technical awards
Unsure what other films are out for Best Film catergory
Just... wow. I didn't realized how leaned in I was at the final trinity test until I looked over and saw an older Asian man doing the same thing.
"Nah nah, don't bomb Kyoto. Me and wifey like to vacay there." 
Brown nips huh Florence
RDJ is the obvious lock for supporting but Jason Peters, Krumholtz, Josh Harnett, Casey Affleck (!), Benny Safdie all did an incredible job with their roles.

Every white actor over
Hans Zimmer didn’t work on this movie
Yep, that's what I think is one of the movie's strengths. The movie is built around the viewer being presented the events almost exclusively from Oppenheimer's viewpoint, not just from a story standpoint, but even visually, to a point.

bingo !!!nolan seems unable to generate or build kinetic action / energy in his movies.
the opposite to rennie harlin, micheal bay or even a wheadon in this regard.
(russos also have this issue to a lesser degree).
tension in his movies seems somewhat sterile, more fabricated and less organic.
comparison: tension at end of unforgiven.
or ...
one is a nuke, one a worm .. both went as natural as possible but i know which one seems like an act of god and which one falls flatter.
i also felt that this time nolan's re-sequencing to facilitate simultaneous crescendo + reveal / twist in the third act worked to the detriment of the story somewhat, but i need to watch it again.
he might be over using it.
also i think matt damon was miscast.

Interesting you say this. While watching, I kept thinking he and Hartnett should've switched roles.
