Oppenheimer Movie Review

[@paulpule]

He had me at "Physics, and Science, Paper Work and Hearings! " 😂

[@LdotHdot]

And " t!tties"😂😂😂😂😂

[@lexis4490]

How I felt too.

[@iamjro]

“Mad orchestra and he’s just writing on the chalkboard” 😂😂

[@lex23669]

Most of the music was there for his anxiety. Because man I was feeling it too. I couldn’t imagine having to go through something like this and then realize I could end the world and if it works I’m still the reason the world might come to an end in the future.

[@SpecialBeam]

Yeah, it's CRAZY that this 3 hour movie was able to keep my attention the entire time. I remember towards the end I thought to myself, "Damn, they got me on the edge of my seat and these niggas is just talking!"

[@yulawtheone3949]

"now there is some titties in it" 🤣🤣 Tony never misses! Got me dying over here.

[@whoog74]

Much respect to Mr. Baker as he is rocking a t-shirt with Detroit greatness on it. Give us the best that you got, homie.

[@NannaP27]

I really enjoyed this movie, that last 30 mins was great. All of the actors were bringing their A game. Rami Malek, RDJ & Cillian were great. Im happy to see Josh Hartnett acting again! I'm really interested to see if it will win as many Oscars- at minimum, the score of the movie deserves an Oscar. My only complaint was when some of the dialogue was muffled?? Even without the music, some parts I couldn't hear the convo. They needed subtitles at some parts

[@Passion84GodAlways]

Thank you for confirming that C. Nolan does this in Oppenheimer too. It's a signature of his😒 that I find VERY frustrating at times! 😮‍💨😤

[@Inthecoverofnight]

Took the words right out. Lol yes to everything.

[@ThirteenOhEight]

Tony's problem is the same problem I had with the movie. I feel that they played it safe with dropping the bomb. I was hoping that they'd show actual footage of before and after and all that just to drive the point home of what nuclear weapons do and why Oppenheimer felt so guilty.

[@MisterFoxx]

Ew you wanted to see actual footage of a traumatic event? That’s too much. We didn’t need to see real footage to drive a point that happened in real life.

[@gms610]

Yep. A great example of this done well is BlacKkKlansmen by Spike Lee. The real footage of Charlottesville that played in the end changed the whole movie for me. It was masterful directing on Spike's part. A similar thing definitely could have worked with the Oppenheimer movie.

[@MisterFoxx]

@@gms610 that’s a completely different style of storytelling tho… and the message was meant to be relevant and current.

[@jpphy23]

The scene where Oppenheimer saw a vision of a charged body drove the point home for me, because that body's image was based on a real photograph taken after the bombings in Japan.

[@selinakyle2368]

If you wanted to see the actual footage then just go on KZbin. You didn’t need to see it. You say it on his face. Nolan’s philosophy is less is more.

[@Antonioplus]

Interstellar is legit one of, if not my favourite, movie of all time.

[@DystopianMelancholy]

Easily up there for me too. Great great film. All the fun facts about that film make it even more mesmerizing.

[@timebandit1266]

Interstellar is still his best movie and my favorite movie I have ever seen.

[@fabmoses1036]

My favorite movie ever. Could watch it anytime

[@DystopianMelancholy]

I definitely agree. I put it below Interstellar, Inception, Memento, The Dark Knight. I think my only issue, and I still give this film high marks, was the pacing. Similar to what Tony said about wanting to know more about certain topics. The pacing felt like Tenet, or Inception. And that worked for those movies - quick witted, fast on your feet type movies - but I didn’t feel like that was needed in this. I would’ve loved to see more of the town they built. And his relationship with his kids and how it affected that. The whole movie was POV so I didn’t mind not seeing the Japan aspect, but idk some scenes felt paced to quickly. I mean we spent like 3 min zooming in on a naked Florence Pugh, and like 2 seconds of him crying after her suicide. BUT, that also plays into how his life was shaped as well, he really had no time to sit still or sit in emotions. Or with his kids apparently. Overall good movie tho.

[@varey_farrari4790]

Top 5 Nolan movies: 1. Inception 2. Dark Knight 3.Prestige 4. Interstellar 5.Oppenheimer

[@247Incognito]

Inception is definitely #1 on my Nolan list!

[@Loveselfloveall]

Phenomenal Movie! Christopher Nolan Strikes Again

[@pierrewillful]

RDJ stood out the most to me in this show.. But everybody brought their A game and I was glad to see Josh Hartnett.. Nolan likes to leave some things to the imagination in all of his films.. Makes him a great unique director.

[@LordZevv]

I was surprised to see Josh Peck and Josh Hartnett. 2 major throwbacks

[@zacharydrummond1]

1. Inception 2. The Prestige 3. TDK

[@CarlB23]

Grave of the fireflies really captured living in the after effects of the bombing in Japan. It's a anime movie, but it's a good watch if you haven't seen it.

[@Passion84GodAlways]

Thank you! ✍🏾📝

[@ebonih7138]

I cried too hard watching that a few years ago.

[@JennSand77]

Like you, Tony, I’m very fascinated with WWII so this movie really peaked my interest. Cillian Murphy is also one of my favorite actors. He’s great in Peaky Blinders, by the way. I really loved how Emily Blunt’s character, Kitty, got fired up during the hearing and didn’t take shit from the lawyer. 😂 I liked the movie overall. Though, I do agree with you in that I would’ve liked for them to go more into how the bomb affected Japan.

[@jpphy23]

Kitty sticking it to the lawyer was one of the best scenes in the film.

[@YungTrop23]

Looking forward to that “They Cloned Tyrone” review next👀👀

[@richardcubbage7400]

Great question on the Nolan Mt. Rushmore. Have to say Inception, Interstellar, Dark Knight and Prestige

[@WinterzVoice]

I was not expecting to be met with quantum physics, physics, relativity, theology, philosophy, and so much more science at THE TOP of the movie… Killian did an amazing job at bringing the Genuine Truth Seeker out of Oppenheimer, and to another point, the internal struggle some went through to… the idea of discovering ground breaking methods to be used in this circumstance (shout out Einstein)… I MUST rewatch this because energetically, I WAS NOT prepared for the aftermath of the bombings 😂 I’m like “ Damn, we really IN this case all the way through huh?…” because I caught the 10pm showing SUITED UP man for immersion… but there’s a lot to take in AT THE TOP!… so if you have a genuine interest of philosophy, wisdom, knowledge, politics, justice, truth, BIG DRAMA… man see the movie. It’s winning Oscar’s confirmed. 💯

[@XsweetstarliteX]

Looking forward to your Barbie review! 😄

[@miriams5979]

So happy that you reviewed this one. The trailer intrigued me and this review just solidified that I’m going to buy a ticket.

[@ebonih7138]

same - I was that 3 hours and said uuhhhh lemme go watch the new horror movie. Now I am seeing two films this weekend lol.

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

I love your reviews as much as I love *Th3Birdman's* reviews. You crack me up, and even if it's a movie I had no plans to see, you make me want to see them!!! Thanks, Tony!! 🤗

[@hueyx791]

Back with a banger! Can’t wait to watch this. I really hope you review They cloned Tyrone I would love to hear your opinion on the film

[@sumyungsumwise4520]

You seen J Feezy 2.0

[@GamerzZone0212]

I watch The Prestige after watching this review and had to come back to thank you for good recommendation 👏

[@cerebralassassin777]

I really loved this movie, I think it’s really more compelling after just graduating college with a STEM degree. They didn’t go too deep into the science but the little that they did was all clicking for me which was fun to see. Definitely top 5 Nolan film for me. The score was also amazing for this movie, the constant random crescendos were great because they were all a buildup for the final explosion. I did find the test bomb explosion a little disappointing at first but after the scene in the stadium where Oppenheimer was walking through the people and seeing the effects of the bomb I was sold. Whole movie had some of the best performances I’ve seen from all the actors. Only problem was sometimes the dialogue could be hard to hear but other than that I loved it.

[@NatedaGREAT21]

Bro the music and score of this movie had me like “Damn, that music is loud as hell” 😂😂😂

[@tamarapowell6996]

I saw Oppenheimer this weekend. You must follow along very closely of course-a lot of historical information, etc. I thought it was “okay.” It dragged a bit at the end for me.

[@rodericwilliams85]

The music had me on the edge of my seat after they tested the bomb because I was waiting for another "BOOM" The blast from the bomb scared tf outta me in the theater 😂😂. My top Nolan movies are 1. Dark Knight 2. Inception 3. The Prestige

[@jordachejordan90]

This review got real philosophical. I liked it. Nolan Rushmore: 1. Prestige 2. Inception 3. Batman Begins 4. DK (First 2 acts flawless, 3rd act didn't hold up for me ovr time)

[@cobenstorer6114]

Can't wait for your take on They Cloned Tyrone

[@malcolmvadermosely1742]

first loving the raw love of the film, then loving even more the Anita Baker shirt, that is my love right there, I know you are a Sade' guy, but I have been to see Anita twice in my life, and got to shake her hand and that was almost like you saying "don't sing to me" took my breath away.

[@jpphy23]

I really enjoyed the film. I am fine with the bomb scenes because the imagery and dialogue that was used to convey the heaviness it weighed on Oppenheimer. The loud music may have been used to keep the film intense but it can be conceded that hurts the dialogue. Cillian Murphy gave a great performance as Oppenheimer and Robert Downey was outstanding as Strauss. Both of them deserve some award nominations as well as Emily Blunt. Josh Hartnett and Florence Pugh also stood out. No weak links in the cast honestly.

[@vonnieb7411]

Emily Blunt was my dawwwwg!!!! This movie was excellent. The Prestige, The Dark Knight, Oppenheimer, Inception. In that order

[@jpphy23]

My Mount Rushmore of Christopher Nolan movies-1) Inception 2) Interstellar 3) The Dark Knight and 4) Dunkirk.

[@dredaymedia]

I agree with rating. Enjoyed the movie. Christopher Nolan had to implement a mind element to following the movie, even though it’s real life events 😂

[@ka_shaheed]

You remember the depiction of the bomb dropping in Wolverine? We needed that scene, I think. Above Insomnia but well below Tenet and Inception. Great movie though.

[@vasleurs]

Let’s not forget Operation Paper Clip. The Germans was of great use in scientific warfare.

[@DaisuSaikoro]

Showing the bomb dropping or shifting perspectives to those in Japan would have been jarring. He wasn't part of thes that process and learned about it like all of us did. The scene where he addresses everyone and has a somewhat panic attack with impressions of it happening in his mind was enough especially as it was Oppenheimers perspective (and the scientist outside becoming ill).

[@t.l.thomas6259]

I’ve been binging Manhattan Project series on Prime TV. Which is a more in-depth explanation of the people who was involved in the making of the bomb.

[@JoelZWilliams1]

@5:45 "Just a heads up if you're bringing the kids....there's gonna be some titties in your face". 😂. I wasn't expecting that either bro. 😅 it was funny because I could hear all the mothers who brought their kids audibly gasp when that happened 😮😮😮

Between this & Black Mirror I’ve been impressed with Josh Hartnet, I hope he keeps getting projects to show his chops

[@1027srich]

I'm definitely gonna check out this movie 😎

[@jayduncan758]

Gary Owens played in this?

[@Elote20]

Tony do you ever watch a movie in a theater twice? I’ve only done it once but I’m considering going back just to watch Oppenheimer again!

[@DHB2]

Interstellar is my favorite Nolan movie, always go back to it time to time

[@BrendanLawrence-m3u]

I remember at the beginning of the film, a professor was explaining physics. "Physics is a paradox". That it can somehow be something, and not that something at the same time, and I feel that that sense was used to portray Oppenheimer's character. The ambiguity that so many people complained about. Spear-heading the creation of most destructive weapon ever known, to becoming an advocate for peace. Is he a Communist or a Patriot? Many aspects of the film reflect that sense, I think. And, maybe the weapon is a paradox. Recently, scientists have actually used nuclear weapons to change the course of an asteroid. Maybe this weapon, instead of used to annihilate the human race, can someday save life on this planet? Now that would be a paradox I can get behind haha.

[@Inthecoverofnight]

I concur Tony. Lol the only review that matters. God bless!

[@PaperMario64]

Nolan rarely misses (Tenet isn’t a miss to me. Just too highbrow for most people). He just needs better sound engineers. RDJ did a fantastic job portraying someone wearing a nice mask, who feels angry and under appreciated. He was perfectly weasely and sneaky. The most memorable scene was when Oppenheimer’s face began to fall and he realized what he made. Truman really did call him a crybaby. My fave Nolans: 1. Inception 2. Interstellar 3. The Prestige 4. The Dark Knight…

[@TwiStedReality1313]

TENET is a miss, like it or not. I know the movies brilliant. But if takes a breakdown of the film to fully understand it. I'd call that missing the mark with the general public

[@abitcritical2323]

was kinda annoyed they didnt show any part of the bombing of japan. they didnt even show images of the aftermath.

[@jaealxndr]

What screen did you see it on Tone? Did you see imax?

[@lalauninterrupted2086]

This movie was DOPE, and I didn’t need to see the carnage of the bombs in Japan. I honestly didn’t want to see it as I know about it, saw some footage about it, and with watchin this film I already walked away feeling dread. I didn’t need to see those innocent ppl go through that. Also the fact that after this huge bomb at that time was made, other countries followed suit, and now we have even more destructive bombs. I got the point of the movie. My top in no particular order. Interstellar, inception, the prestige, Oppenheimer. Tenet is for sure last but the others can switch place’s depending on my mood.

[@JDotWill]

My predictions for Oscar Nominations Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actor(Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actor(RDJ) & Best Supporting Actress (Emily Blunt)

[@MegaMaxBoxing]

Yo tony you reviewing sound of freedom??

[@DGZGSGEGIGKG]

Top 5 Christopher Nolan movies: Interstellar, Dark Knight, The Prestige, Inception, Oppenheimer

[@arthursummers7899]

I would say soft 4.5, for me, probably like 4.3 if that's possible. Momento, Inception, the Prestige, Dark Knight is probably my Mount Rushmore Nolan movies. All those above Oppenheimer with Inception and Dark Knight being solid 5's. I put Opp equal with Interstellar. I was let down by the bomb honestly, but the rest of the cinematography was amazing, I liked the score, I felt that and the pacing made a movie that was mostly dudes talking about science most of the population doesn't understand feel high stakes and engaging.

[@w8lvradio]

I didn't care for the movie: I don't care to see my favorite Nuclear Physicist without his trousers. (This reminds me of the movies "Titanic" and "Pearl Harbor" where very interesting human interest stories could have been developed around the history , but instead, it's a Love Triangle, yawn yawn and more skin than plot development.) A MUCH better movie was made years ago, called "Fat Man and Little Boy." While it doesn't completely focus on Oppenheimer, I think that you might find it to be the better movie that covers this. All the Best! 73 DE W8LV BILL

[@emartinez7733]

Dunkirk was 5 Saxaphones for me so im surprised you gave this higher marks than Dunkirk. Ill have to see.

[@varey_farrari4790]

I agree.

[@SpecialBeam]

"Now there's some titties in it" lol you right. A lot of the reviews I've seen mention that the sex scenes felt unnecessary. I kiiiiinda agree. There were 3 total if I remember right. The first one was just to show that he gets off on being better than everyone, and he's a bit full of himself. I feel like that was already pretty obvious by that point in the movie. The sex just put a pin in it, I guess. The 2nd bit of nudity was actually not needed imo. They were just talking after sex and just happened to be butt ass naked. You could argue that was to show that they had drifted apart a lot, but again, I feel like that was kinda obvious already. The 3rd scene is the most interesting one, and I think this is why the other two even exist. It would have been extremely jarring to have that last scene without preparing the audience for it with the first two. The whole thing is really weird and awkward, but I think that's on purpose because it's weird and awkward for everyone in the room. So they want us in the audience to also feel weird and awkward. It's a nightmare scenario for everyone involved. Overall, I think they pulled off what they were going for, but ultimately it was all pretty unnecessary. Maybe it's simply so people can say, "There's titties in it!"

[@SpecialBeam]

I've always liked Florence Pugh as an actress though, so I didn't mind it one bit, I'll be honest.

[@kachinasmith199]

The third one was to emphasize the embarrassment Kitty felt and the vulnerability of Oppenheimer at that moment. I definitely felt secondhand embarrassment for her.

Interstellar and Dark Knight are hands down my favorite Christopher Nolan movies. This one was good I just think it was too loud and too long. Robert Downey Jr. was great. Florence Pugh was great too. (I’m biased because I’ve loved her since Midsommar) I do want to watch it again at home though because something about the theater makes me sleepy so I was fighting heavy eyelids by about 90min in.
