i know some people are upset about oppenheimer not showing the effects that the atomic bomb had on the japenese people, or the trinity test on the local people of white sands (where they did the testing), but i think that's the point. these people were never the main concern for the sceintists working on this project, their focus was simply on whether or not they'll win the war. as far as i know, the people of white sands (population of around 5000 then) weren't even warned about the detonation of the bomb (trinity test), the radiation and all of the consequences that comes with it.
that's why i think it was left out in the movie, because it wasn't oppenheimer or anyone else's main concern at all and that's supposed to be terrifying.
note: the cast also mentioned that the script was written in first-person pov & purely based on oppenheimer's perspective.
- let me know if something i said might have been incorrect!

My opinions on Oppenheimer after misbooking my Barbie tickets and being forced to do a solo movie instead of a double feature with the movie of the year no im not bitter
Tom Conti really nailed Albert Einstein as a tired math grandpa who kind of just ended up being there instead of directly contributing
why did they put *that line* (y'all know what im talking about) in *that scene*????
I was incredibly surprised that Nolan used Oppenheimer's political leanings and the McCarthyism era U.S politics as the vocal point of the movie. It was really interesting to see be played out as honestly as I think it could have.
Drake, where is the activation button for the Trinity Project?
Kitty is the ideals of Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss and she deserved so much better (me. Kitty should have married me.)
Cillian Murphy had such babygirl energy the entire time. Literally, he convinced Grove to fund not only the entire project but also an entire town and also bring in his "formerly" communist brother in by batting his eyes and saying pwetty pwease and I love him for that.
Strauss using his power as a politian to completely ruin Oppenheimer in a sham meeting that was nowhere near truthful or fair to the man because he was embarrassed at a meeting and paranoid about Einstein being turned against him (because he didn't smile at him or some shit idk) was such peak political behavior that was played as childish and petty as it truly was IRL
Oppenheimer trying to poison his tutor for being a Class A dick then regretting it a day later and tossing away the apple was actually such good foreshadowing to his later feelings about the A Bombs

'...“With anybody you work with, with actors…you’re looking for some kind of connection emotionally, empathetically,” Nolan said about being drawn to Downey. “You’re looking for some kind of generosity. He has this incredible generosity of spirit. It means when he’s in a scene with other people he’s making sure they are all doing their best, that they are all able to bring their best to the table. He’s helping them clarify those emotional connections.”
“I’ve always wanted to work with him. I’ve always seen that in his work,” Nolan added. “And he has such charisma as Tony Stark. Him playing Iron Man is one of the most consequential casting decisions that’s ever been made in the history of the movie business. I wanted to give him the opportunity to lose himself in a part, lose himself in another human being the way great actors love him.”...'

"RDJ's Best Performance"
I've heard enough of this: "Lewis Strauss in Oppenheimer is the best Robert Downey Jr's performance".
I'm looking at Strauss in Oppenheimer, and at Tony in Iron Man, Civil War, Endgame... back at Strauss, and at Tony again. And I have one question - Are you fucking blind?
