I would have to probably agree, except maybe Jurassic Park way back in the 90s. It's def the most excited Ive been in recent memory. Two years ago when this was announced, I was like YES. I love high quality WWII films and this is one I've always wanted...Fat Man and Little Boy was not that good. I'm fascinated by atomic energy so a dense, science-y movie about it is gold to me.

RDJ said essentially the same thing in his armchair expert interview. Sure to be excellent.

[@whitedove2352]

Me too! Partly because I lived in Los Alamos for 13 years and honestly, feel I have a bit of trauma from it. But New Mexico and the history is just so important and impactful to our country. History is important. We need to know and learn. There's never been a more important figure in human history than Oppenheimer, IMHO.

[@santitriana2795]

I’m happy for RDJ to be able to find a project that elevates him to a level that allows him to be distinguished apart from the MCU’s “Iron Man”. It’s hard to do that when you’re known so well for a specific role. He fucking killed it. So did Cillian and Matt. Florence and Emily were flawless. But really the star of this was Nolan. Masterpiece.

[@dr.downvote]

I’ve started to watch him from iron man, but I loved all his other movies. Kiss kiss bang bang, judge, sherlock Holmes and whatnot! He’s a talent being wasted in mcu and I’m really glad that Tony stark died in mcu before Disney took over and turned it m-she-u.

@@Football__is__life-k yes it doesn't matter because we know how iconic Iron Man is all over the world..everyone knows Iron Man kids to adult..but what's very unfortunate, most people even think that RDJ can't act in serious films like this Oppenheimer, because he's been a superhero for too long and people already know him to be iron man so people think he can't act in serious movies.. LOL

[@Football__is__life-k]

@@GeneralZod1991 yeah I also saw these type of comment on KZbin but let me tell you they are none but RDJ's haters and they can't digest his success from zero to hero. I mean he did a great job in Zodiac, trophic thunder for which he got nominated for fucking shitty award oscar in my opinion.

[@SOI-wl2lo]

Gary Oldman in this feature had one of the greatest 5 min scenes I’ve seen in a film, possibly ever? Incredible and star studded is how I’d describe this film also Matt Damon in scenes opp Cillian in this film was just *magic*. They were fab scenes partners

[@tusharkumar8750]

Just a sec! Gary Oldman too in this movie. Can you plz tell me which role he played?

[@ダニエル-x5d]

@@tusharkumar8750it was president truman

[@syedsadat7688]

Cilian has that mesmerizing look, his eyes speaks a lot. So dashing looks and the Oscar goes to him this time

[@moonbalancedd]

I've heard of people having that kind of focus and clarity and you feel it in the environment the way these actors are describing Christopher Nolan. Another example would be Thomas Keller and how you feel it in his restaurant and the staff, the focus, intensity and clarity that permeates through. People at the top of the field are like that.

[@nikhilsarki1476]

They have already started polishing Oscar for cillian. First day, first show for sure

[@AA-qb7ni]

Still not over this film!! The cast is phenomenal. I kept getting excited every time a new actor showed up 😂

[@kath1626]

Just came back from watching Oppenheimer and I remembered seeing Cillian for the first time wayyyy back when in "28 days later". What a career!

[@Vtlkvtlkvtlk]

It's joy to see people being sincerely nice to each other

[@hjhaminahhjsapawi9679]

This is the first time I feel so emotional towards the cast & a movie ' cos of a famous director, Christoper Nolan, 'cos of my most favourite actor, Cillian Murphy & 'cos it's a historical biographic movie which I like most.😍👍

[@whitedove2352]

Me too! Really emotional. Partly, because I lived in Los Alamos for 13 years. Oppi is everywhere. Part of the culture. But the terror of nuclear bombs and weapons, lived with me every day and has impacted my life.

[@annmarieknapp2480]

Mad respect you all the actors. And love your work Mr. Nolan. Love that you did not use any CGI. Thank you for making this film. Cillian Murphy nailed this. Have always loved his work. He so did this honor!

[@matthewdaub]

12:28 the fact that everyone immediately said no we didnt is incredible. Just because they are all A list actors doesnt mean they don't have humility an adoration.

[@KidAstronaut]

I'm really glad given the content and weight of the film they're all laughing and having fun together.

[@Wes1128]

This movie is gonna be so fire. I cannot wait. The cast is literally full of straight heavy hitters.

[@syedmarwan8069]

Robert Downey jr is such a sport ♥ Love him

[@nonamenameless5495]

Couldn t have imagined a story with this many facets better suited to Nolan s style or a better choice than Murphy being Oppenheimer supported by Blunt with her unique talent of shining whilst making others shine even more and I haven t come to Damon and Downey yet... That s THE actors genuinely able to being their roles instead of acting as if they were under the guidance of THE director known to unite complexity in serene simplicity whilst making it all a visual feast. I bet this is gonna be gripping and yeah calling it now, possibly the future monument to Nolan s style of directing.

[@angie6506]

I just love the guy, Chris is so talented. I love the crew and their working vibe, it is just awesome

[@AuxiliaPeregrini]

It’s great to see the depth of each actor’s understanding of the film. Would’ve been even better if Florence Pugh had joined them too.

[@mb4310]

She was busy with Dune 2 and wasn't available until much, much later.

[@blondiiejx]

It is so touching and heattwarming to see how they compliment eachother ❤

[@ciaranmcguckinhasfun4334]

Seeing these peope and hearing them fills me up with so much love. Im proud to also be from Douglas Cork like Cillian Murphy. Amazing to see him become so awesome

[@viceviner1194]

Wondering how everyone just adores Nolan and it's ultimately about him no matter what....love it...he has created something that cannot be bettered in near future..

[@explosivedude8295]

Matt has such a good speech composition. He seems very wise in real life.

[@Monku]

He’s wicked smart

Hah-vahd, English major.

9:00 “We make our own luck..” Chris just casually quoting Harvey Dent there 😄

[@AAMPictures]

The red paper with red print on the first reading is something I never could have thought of. Nolan knows exactly what he’s doing.

[@Kpoping727official]

What's the point of it tho??

[@Evanescoduil]

It's pretty common, it prevents it from being photocopied legibly.

[@janetkriegl6720]

Red paper and BLACK print.

[@Gamzor]

um its black print, how do you think they would read it..I know everyone is having orgasms about nolan but its pretty common. Not everything is genius.

[@mirabella2154]

As janetkriegl said it was black print on red paper. Don't think it was casual. Black and red are very special colours. Black and red colour have specific effects on humans. This was intentional.

[@Benjamin-qf9ni]

the build-up to the trinity test was insanely well done. i was fucking shaking and couldnt eat my popcorn anymore. Ive never really experienced anything like that in cinema, it truly felt like i was there

[@ass_ass_in6365]

It really was epic

[@ichoosemeimsorry]

I could hear my heartbeat I felt like I was gonna throw up

[@g.taylorseawell9799]

By far Nolan's best film. 10 out of 10. I hope it sweeps the Oscars/Academy Awards. Some of the best acting and production in modern history.

[@Julii.Alvarez]

Cillian deserved it, finally a leading role in a Chris Nolan film, absolutely fantastic, nothing but praise to you mr Murphy!
