Movie: Oppenheimer

Tweet

Oppenheimer was released in 2023 with a rating of R for sexuality, nudity and language. It is based on the real life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the theoretical physicist who is often referred to as the father of the atomic bomb. As for how much of this film is true to the real story, I would say it is hard to know for sure. Due to the nature of his classified work, it makes me wonder just how much of the story we can believe as truth and how much is the government releasing what they want. Oppenheimer has a full cast of stars, the main characters in the film are played by the likes of Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, and Robert Downey Jr. Although you will recognize many more. Cillian Murphy (Peaky Blinders) plays Oppenheimer. The film follows the life of Oppenheimer and the build up to the dropping of the bombs and the following 1954 Security hearings on Oppenheimer. If you have an interest in history, or World War II, I will say it’s a good film to watch. I’ll admit some of it confused me when talking about physics and such, but I still enjoyed the film. The film received high reviews for the screen play, cast performance and visuals. For me I agree, other than a few confusing parts of the film I would give it 4.75 out of 5 stars and would suggest it as a must see.
