Today marks 33 years since the 1991 Iraqi Uprisings where Iraqi Shia Muslims, leftists, Kurds and Assyrians rose up against Saddam Hussein’s authoritarian regime.

They were carried out in response to the Gulf War and the atrocities Saddam oversaw during the Iran-Iraq war (such as the Anfal genocide which I wrote about the other week).

The uprising would last for a month during which thousands of Saddam’s cronies would be killed and thousands of civilians opposed to his regime would be brutally murdered.

The Iraqi government responded by cracking down and slaughtering hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. WITH help from the MEK (People’s Mujahedin of Iran, an exiled Iranian opposition group which has since become a reactionary death cult).

Feel free to reblog.

the beginning scene 🔥

Cillian Murphy; “in the very beginning I was kind of struggling, it’s very very complex and moral journey that Oppenheimer goes on. You know it’s wild. And then Chris used this phrase to me. He said “ He’s dancing between the raindrops” and that kind of unlocked something in my mind about how to play him. Such a succinct, but a comprehensive note. And that’s why he’s a brilliant director.”

Can you hear the music?

Something not enough people have been discussing about Oppenheimer is just how accurately they portray what the wonder and awe of physics feels like. I remember watching the thought sequences and near obsession Oppenheimer had with stars and quantum mechanics, and between the visuals and the music, it just resonated *so hard with me.*

The phrase, "can you hear the music?" so perfectly describes what made me fall in love with physics in the first place. It's something so *beyond* the scope of human existence; a hidden score that the universe harmonizes to. I so often feel like movies either downplay science or glorify it to seem less taxing and tricky than it is, but I feel like Oppenheimer found the sweet spot. To quote someone I saw review the trailer, they "made scientists (and for that matter physicists) cool again." Anyways, just thought that was neat and figured I'd share my nerdy little thoughts since there's so much barbenheimer everywhere and I can't seem to find just Oppenheimer appreciation. Do love barbenheimer though.

christopher nolan did such an exceptional job at making the audience feel the tension and horror during the trinity test sequence even though we already knew the outcome and what it meant when they realized that the bomb actually works

The way the “Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds” quote was introduced in Oppenheimer during a sex scene is fucking hilarious. Christopher Nolan was so wild for choosing to do it like that.
