the absolute lack of media literacy from people who haven’t even seen oppenheimer is making my head spin but whatever
#like - every three seconds it’s someone talking about how it’s us military prop or it doesn’t cover the atrocities well etc etc
#when a) it is so definitely NOT us propoganda- it is so clearly critiquing the us military and oppenheimer himself
#and b) it doesn’t cover every small detail of the impacts of the bomb bc that’s not what the film is about
#it is a screenplay adapted from a biography on oppenheimer
#it is about him - a biopic - and how he got to the point of making atomic weapons and ends on a note of undeniable horror
#it is a movie that constantly bombards you with anxiety bc you have the burden of knowing the future
#it is not in any way forgiving anything - it acknowledges the fucked up nature of the situation
#hell it’s mostly a courtroom drama that shows how fucked up mccarthyism was
#i’m a big history buff - so this plays a lot into it
#but y’all have GOT to just stop seeinf things on a surface level and engage with media w/ a deeper mindset of just ‘thing bad’
#anyway - sorry it bothers me a lot
#there are genuine criticims that can be leveled at both nolan and this film and i have seen them
#im not sitting here calling the end all be all of cinema - but it’s a well made movie w/ something interesting to say and evaluate
#not wanting to see it is one thing - by all means - but wringing it through the mud w/ absolutely no knowledge of the actual content of -
#the film itself is actively annoying
