Which movie you watching: Oppenheimer v/s Barbie?
Which movie are you watching? Personally, Oppenheimer is probably going to be GOATed and definitely the best movie of this year.
(May contain Spoilers) Who was Oppenheimer? As many of you may be planning to watch the movie in coming days, I found this online review nicely putting up the context : "Oppenheimer was 38 when he was appointed director of the Manhattan Project, the $2 billion, top-secret World War II program to build the atomic bomb. After the war, he became the most famous scientist in the world, appearing on the cover of Time magazine and hailed as “the father of the atomic bomb.” A few years later, he raised doubts about his work, opposed production of the much more powerful hydrogen bomb, called for international controls on all weapons of mass destruction, and as a result, got blackballed by key figures in the nuclear establishment. Witnessing the A-bomb’s first test in the desert far outside Los Alamos, the New Mexico town where much of the bomb-building took place, he really did (as the film depicts) recite the line from the Bhagavad-Gita, “Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds.” At his meeting with President Harry Truman, after the bombs he helped build incinerated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he really did say “I have blood on my hands.” And Truman, who lost no sleep over his decision to drop the bombs, really said to an aide afterward (though not within earshot of Oppenheimer, as he does in the film), “Don’t let that crybaby in here again.” His hedged attitude toward the H-bomb threatened the project’s funding. And so its leading advocates set out to destroy him. They created a tribunal to investigate whether his security clearance should be revoked. The tribunal voted 2–1 to revoke Oppenheimer’s clearance. Oppenheimer was eventually vindicated. In December 1963 President Lyndon Johnson awarded Oppenheimer the Fermi Award, one of the most prestigious in American science.
Good to read briefly who was Oppenheimer and what was his struggles and triumph before watching. I am hoping it would be a great movie experience. And better if you can catch it on INOX.
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell briefly touches on this. He’s a legendary figure.
