Small Details You Missed In Oppenheimer

[@omermagen824]

Rain is also a recurring metaphor. The movie starts with a shot of raindrops hitting a puddle. At first this looks like a simple aesthetic choice but later in the movie we realize what the rain symbolizes. In one scene they sit at a restaurant and plot the destruction radius on a map. Later, we see Oppenheimer imagining rain falling onto the same map. As each drop hits the surface we see a ripple wave propegating outwards. And in the last scene where he meets Einstein, it becomes clear that each drop of rain hitting the water represents a detonation. Blast waves rippling through the atmosphere. While a single bomb did not cause a physical chain reaction, the arms race it started did. Now humanity has the capability to end itself in a moment. The movie starts with beautiful raindrops hitting a puddle, and ends with nukes raining on our earth.

[@Astraldymensions]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i couldn't figure out why the map did that holy shit

[@CriiiisMeow]

Also, I saw an interview where Cillian Murphy was talking about a scene he was struggling to perform how the director wanted, so Chris Nolan approached him and said Oppenheimer was "dancing between the raindrops"... So that set the tone to him

[@annietotoron]

I also think about the radiative rain after the explosion… it is a long-lasting effect (not just the radiation but also the invention of atomic bomb) on our Earth

[@ericantone8709]

The movie starts and ends with him looking at raindrops, an endless chain reaction of memories in his mind.

[@mgariepy42]

The rain drops are the symbol of the acid rain, radioactive rain, that occurs from detonations of the atomic bombs. Like the missiles firing at the end, it’s a reminder of what we can expect with the proliferation of WMD today.

[@thegamingeconomist3831]

In the story about the poisoned apple, you neglected to mention than in the film Oppenheimer snatches the apple from Bohr as he's about to bite into it, throwing it into a wastebasket. Oppenheimer explains his action with one word: "Wormhole". This is a play on words as wormhole is the common name for the Einstein-Rosen bridge, a hypothetical connection between two distant points in space-time. Kudos to Nolan for working a physics joke into the script here to get Oppenheimer out of trouble.

A big miss is when Oppenheimer's wife finds him in the desert crying after the woman he had an affair with commits suicide. She says to him, "You can't commit the sin and then have everyone feel bad for you. C'mon, you have people counting on you." While the dialogue is about the affair, the greater message is about how we view Oppenheimer following the bomb.

[@dianastevenson131]

But we the audience do feel bad for him in the film. I also think Cillian played the post-bomb scenes with an element of martyrdom.

I saw Oppenheimer. It is entirely faithful to American Prometheus. The book adhered closely to the timeline whereas the movie gets deeper into Oppenheimer’s mind. The movie gives Oppenheimer’s view of the events and is more psychological. The biography is more externally descriptive. Both are accurate depictions of the events. They do not clash.

[@ImBarl]

It didnt adhere to the poison apple scene which is by many accounts is something that never physcially manifested.

And yet, if he chooses to initiate a war, one must not only be ready to respond, but also have a stronger response aka deadlier weapons.

When I saw it I remember thinking to myself “I will never see this in such a perfect display of sight and audio again.

The film does an excellent job of roping the viewers in to the seemingly desensitized reality we live in. The creation of this weaponry is inappropriate for our nature, and will be the tool to our demise as a species. Since the creation of the the A-Bomb we’ve lived in ‘peace’ not harmony. ‘Peace’ by threat of annihilation.

Ooohhhh I hadn’t caught that comment to Toleman about Ruth in that critical moment when Robert realizes that he’s been excluded from the most important work happening in his immediate vicinity. The comment must be his way of retaliating in a subconscious way, Toleman probably did know but never let on to Robert is more likely, especially when he was quite brazen about revealing it to the husband. Quite a lot of backstory captured here in just a few frames and a couple lines of dialogue. This is an incredible film about an incredible event and the man who most largely brought the most incredible weapon into being. A lot of things underlying that are not ever mentioned that I’m discovering, things that are deduced when you start to learn of the role of secret societies to which young men pledge their life’s allegiance to and who act in concert to maintain their control of all the world through constant chaos, look deep at the people Motivating Strauss, he’s in the old boys club of old boys club. Both sides of every conflict have a common energy source they draw from, a family if you will which is the root cause of all this destruction. Look at how they deal with their greatest creators, the men who not abiding to absolute secrecy can actually attain and create the things those who pledge allegiance to can never bring into being, they just employ then destroy once your usefulness is up. There is so much here in this film on the compartmentalized mind vs the constructive/complementary mind which has access to all. This is a fundamental battle we are undergoing right now, those who control…their most important asset is INFORMATION. Oppenheimer shows anything’s possible when thinking together and putting the best minds together (in fact compartmentalizing a community) leads to the greatest understandings and practical application. (Nikola Tesla curiously did so much more mentally alone, different mind/method) What if instead of applying knowledge towards ways of dividing people of the world and using destruction/death as method, we thought ways to increase Livingry, the practical application of clean air water food land shelter information access transportation everything available for everyone.

they were measuring how much uranium and plutonium that had been produced for each of the bombs

@@MassEffect1988 It's how much U-235 and Pu-239 had actually been produced by Oak Ridge and Hanford as a function of time. Frankly, I'm surprised at that rate of generation, if it was accurate, that they were able to make 3 cores by the time of the bombing of Nagasaki.

I thought the movie was amazing and should definitely see some Oscar's handed out next year but its really does earns its R rating so its not for the kiddies. I do wish though that some filmmaker would make a movie showing the same proper respects to a physicist named Lise Meitner. Her story is just as compelling if not more so and if it weren't for her work in science there probably wouldn't have been any glorious feat of science completed by Dr. Oppenheimer and other scientist in the building of the A-bomb.

[@ChristopherWHerbert]

Jean Tatlock was a major and pivital part in the Oppenheimer life story. If you don't understand that. Then certainly you don't understand the whole significance as to the elements of the events that took place, in regards to J Robert Oppenheimer long after her death. As to those consequences in relation to the loss of the security clearance

Playing bongos, if he actually did that during WWII, is the least important thing about Richard Feynmann.

Some details were missed. for instance two academic scientists from two small countries near Denmark smuggled blueprints of the Soviet atom bomb to the White House in 1942. they offered to lead a nuclear program based on the Soviet blueprints of their atom bomb. The duo came to Washington Dc and to the White House in about 1942, with detailed blueprints of the Soviet atom bomb along with materials lists and air blast calculations. All Europeans are brothers, as Americans like to say when they leave the western hemisphere. The Soviet nuclear weapons program started in 1936 and lasted till 1945, and building of the atom bomb were delayed by a few dissident scientist there. The nuclear blueprints of the Soviet atom bomb and these Soviet blueprints were already in final stages for production purposes by 1942. Nuclear weapons design teams of nuclear scientists worked in the Soviet Union and these blueprints were made between 1937 and 1942. The Soviet design team delayed production as much as possible, by focusing on air blast calculations per unit increase in nuclear radiation. Nuclear weapons air blast calculations of the Soviet Atom bomb and materials lists were given also given as gifts to the White House in 1942. the smugglers hired by dissident nuclear scientists were two scientists from either Holland Or Denmark or some other country in that area. The drawings of the Soviet atom bomb were smuggled to the White House itself by 1941 or 1942. The drawings of the Soviet atom bomb, along with air blast calculations and materials lists were ready by 1941 at the Soviet nuclear weapons research center. Soviet Union had the best nuclear scientists, with a human tough and humane mentality. At the time the focus of the United States was in radio waves. So, right after the Soviet drawings of the atom bomb and air blast calculations were smuggled to the office of President Roosevelt, President Roosevelt initially put together a rag tag team with G. Marconi, the inventor of the radio, in charge of the American nuclear program in 1942 - 1943. Soon someone mentioned to him that the United States too had a bright scientist trained in nuclear physics who was in a scientific company somewhere else in the USA. In 1942 or so, Oppenheimer called back the White House: he needed two months notice, at the very least. He told officials in 1942 to let Marconi continue, and that he had to give two months notice to his current employers in 1941 or 1942. Robert Oppenheimer and President Roosevelt were both very impressed with the Soviet papers of the Soviet atom bomb, as these were accompanied by extensive airblast calculations . president Roosevelt commented that even he could understand the air blast calculations ND the Soviet design papers, despite being a history major. Their brilliant nuclear scientists decided to have a go slow approach till a Slav (East European) is selected as the Secretary general of the Soviet Union in place of Joseph Stalin. These were smuggled out of the Soviet Union by a few dissident nuclear scientists of the Soviet Union on to the White House in 1941 or 1942. the dissident nuclear scientists of the Soviet Union didn't like the idea of a communist country like their county building the first atom bomb. original atom bomb drawings and materials lists and air blast calculations were prepared in a nuclear bomb research center in the Soviet Union by a team of nuclear physicists, led by Egor Kurchatov. In his younger days, Mr. Kurchatov looked like a handsome man. Soviet chief scientist and project manager of the Soviet atom bomb program looked more like a white beach boy on a surfboard and more like a slim fraternity member an any college in the USA. Later, he started looking more like a mad scientist with age. During the initial successes of the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union, Kurchatov and his team of dissident nuclear scientists decided to smuggle out the papers of the Soviet nuclear weapon to the United States. and atom bomb including the original drawings and materials lists and formulas and air blast calculations. These were were smuggled out of the Soviet nuclear weapons research center by two real Europeans:: The two smugglers were two academic scientists from central Europe, actually western Europe. The duo who reached the United States also reached the White House in 1942, give or take 6 month, along with the Soviet designs of the atom bomb were from one or two central / west European countries, either Holland or Denmark or a similar country. came from Igor Kurchatov lead scientist of the atom bomb research center. The rest is history. He almost didn't respond to the President's invitation. He was working in a company working or wired signals and other radio signals. Oppenheimer was the only knowledgeable authority in nuclear scientist in the western hemisphere, unlike the Soviet Union and Germany. Initially he told the White Science he had forgotten nuclear science even he had studied nuclear science. President had an answer to Oppenheimer's excuse at not being in a hurry to join the nuclear program of the United States in 1942. He said his last name is German, and that he may be mistakenly associated with Nazi Germany. Nazi Germany had already been committing a number of atrocities across the Soviet Union. President Roosevelt promised to refer to him as an American Jew. American Jews have German last names. So Oppenheim became a Jewish American overnight after a meeting with President Roosevelt in 1942. before that he was a non practicing Jew. Some say he may have been a Lutheran Christian with a German last name before ww2.

[@jimlux28]

Both the amount needed and the passage of time.

[@riteshpathak5448]

The movie was great! I think Chris Nolan nailed what he wanted to achieve with the movie. However, seeing the trailer, promos and the posters, I expected a little more about the bomb, the creation process, the science behind it, more about his research in black holes, and bit more about the physics involved, rather than the politics and R.O. smoking a cig. naked. I was hoping a bit more angles of the explosion scene, and perhaps even the flight of Enola Gay, not the mission ofcourse but atleast the flight. That's just my opinion though. You can say I was expecting a little bit like Interstellar's grand portrayal of important events! Feel free to share your thoughts :)

[@issa9467]

I respect your point, but the politics -- and the influence that Opp's personal life and misguidings had on him -- are all part of the culmination of how he created the bomb. In the book that the movie was based on, "American Prometheus," you really get to see just how important Jean Tatlock was on Oppenheimer. Which is why the naked cig scene is also important. She was his first love, a huge influence. It is important to see not just the physics and the science of the project, but also to look at other factors, and to see his life's story. The movie is, after all, a story about Oppenheimer, not entirely centered on the creation of the A bomb.

[@riteshpathak5448]

@@issa9467 You're absolutely right! I do understand that. And really felt that every scene had an incredible importance. But we can agree on one thing for sure that there was so much about Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project that can't be summed up in one movie, even if its 3 hours long. I just want to see Chris Nolan's approach towards that Project, It would be mind blowing for us sci fi geeks lol!
