The scene where Robert Oppenheimer has poisened the apple and wants to stop him eating it. Then he tells him "The important thing isn't can you read the music, it is can you hear it. Can you hear the music... Robert?". Then it cuts to a blue sky and a beautiful montage with amazing music.

The Kitty arch is one of my favorite aspects of the film. Ludwig actually gives the character her own music.

I love that "fusion" scene where Strauss came to a dinner to talk about there was a russian spy in Los Alamos and is sugesting about creating H Bomb, if you pay attention you can see Strauss being alone at first but slowly convincing other scientist to his side against Oppenheimer. Also, I love how we didn't see Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The story is told from Oppenheimer's POV, he's the one who created the gun, but not the one who shoot it, just like the scene where the millitary official chose those two cities to bomb because he likes Kyoto.

I was thrilled when it swept the Oscar's. I took my son and daughter to see it earlier this year, explaining that it wasnt the type of movie I usually watch with them. When it was over it prompted a conversation with my kids that lasted a couple of hours, and I knew it had had an impact. I told them at the time that I thought it would win best picture, but so much time had passed I was afraid it may have been forgotten by Oscar voters. Thankfully not.

Such an underrated video. Amazing analysis, you cover things in the film that others do not in certain scenes. The thing I also love about the speech scene is the sound of shoes against the bleachers, which we hear throughout the film in Oppenheimer's mind however it isn't revealed what it actually is from until later on, showing the sound that haunts his mind.

which is?

I just saw Oppenheimer on Peacock on my large screen TV and headset on and got the full experience for those 3 hours. By the time it ended, I was gasping for air and stunned for a long time. I really didn't have any issues with the film. The Trinity test was so beautiful and tragic at the same time, looking at the beauty of the explosion in silence, hearing their breaths...so amazing.

The speech scene is one of the most gut-punching and devastating scenes ever put to film.

I have watched every single Chris Nolan’s films ever since I was a kid. His movies has been a part of my life and his movies are the things that helped me go through tough times and give me a new dream. Oppenheimer was just staggering. It was amazing, I do not have the words to describe my feelings watching that movie especially seeing how much improvements Cillian has gotten through and I was so glad that Cillian is finally getting the attention he deserves too. The cinematography, the storyline, the dialogues, the characters, the music, the camera angles, position, lightings, editing, the script, and everything else was just amazing. I have read all the lines of the transcript and I have already rewatched the movie 5 times to better understand it. I also am reading the American Prometheus which is amazing. After my first time watching Oppenheimer, the thoughts and questions I had after watching it stayed with me for weeks, which led me to watch it again and again. I was amazed, it was breathtaking. The cinematography was beautiful and it couldn’t have been better. The fact that Nolan didn’t use cgi for the trinity test scene just made me more inspired. Four stars is not enough for this movie, neither are any stars and ratings in this world. This movie is out of this world and it is a masterpiece. As a movie lover who is crazy for movies, I watched the whole thing live and watched it over again. I have waited for the moment for wonderful people like Cillian, RDJ, Chris, Emma, Jennifer and Hoyte to get the attention they've long deserved, and to see them finally get it was a dream come true. I want to congratulate them. Cillian, I have been a life-long fan of yours, ever since I was a little child. Seeing you in small parts of great movies or lead parts of small movies was sad. I always knew that you deserved the big stage, the awards, the attention you deserve. Your acting was incredible from the start of your career, your stage plays, and your first few movies, I could see your potential, even if I was young. I started supporting you from then. I have been by your side, through difficulties, and successes, cheering for you, crying for you, and always being there for you, no matter what they say. I knew that you would eventually get the attention, and the awards you deserve, and I was waiting for it. Today was the day. Today, your career has drawn a path in this industry, a path that will last forever, and I congratulate you. You have deserved it. Growing up, I watched your acting through bad times, when I was down, and you were the reason why I could be the happy child I deserved to be. I want to thank you for that. You have always been there for me. I could also always relate to your actions and your personality as they were similar to mine. That meant a lot for me as a child, as a teenager who was insecure about herself. Maybe it isn't an exaggeration to say that you have saved me and that you are the reason why I am still here, I am still passionate, and I am the person I am today. Seeing you get better and develop into an amazing actor could never be better, it was the best thing that has happened in my life. My goal is to sit together with you, in front of the biggest stage in Hollywood, and say these things to you in person. Again, congratulations on the win, you have long deserved it, just remember, this is just the start, just the start of the attention you deserve. I wish you the best, stay healthy, and just be yourself. Words cannot describe how happy I am for you. I love you. Congrats! Robert Downey Jr, congratulations. You have been an idol to me. You were my childhood. Your acting has always been spectacular and you are a wonderful person in general. You have never failed to make me smile even during tough times. You always made my day. This award was yours for a long time actually, you deserved it so much. Congratulations, your performance was magical. Christopher Nolan, congrats! You were my role model ever since I was young. I have always been interested in movies, and the film industry, and your movies always opened up my mind. Your movies taught me important lessons, your movies always were my favourite things in the world. Thanks to you and Emma, I began to dream about a job in the film industry, and I started loving making simple films. I love your movies, your thoughts, and your process. I love your personality and the person you are. You have created countless masterpieces, you have developed many actors into who they are today, and you have touched countless people including me. This movie is a masterpiece. Thank you so much and Congratulations on your win!

It wasn't very spectacular in a visual sense but was satisfying from the narrative side of things

For me it was “The Speech”. For a film that spends so much time jumping back and forth between the present and past, interrogations and hearings, classrooms and think tanks, the real gravity of Oppenheimer’s emotional dilemma didn’t really hit me until that speech in the gymnasium. Brilliant scene.

It is now after the Oscars. I saw Oppenheimer months ago. Just saw a Jimmy Kimmel segment from his own show with Cillian, Emily and Robert Downy Jr. Cillian spoke about how he starved himself to make the character's physical vulunerability real. OMG I feel his doing that just magnified what he conveyed in his magnificent portrayal of this man.

This was, by far, the most beautiifully crafted and profound film I've seen in many years (I'm 77 y.o.). The cinematography is unparalled. At the final two scenes, I inhaled and stopped breathing. A stunning conclusion and a stunning piece of film making. It reminded me that our (anti) hero's story was a perfect example of what Hannah Arendt referred to as "the banality of evil". Lofty aspirations cloaked this "destroyer of worlds." And isn't that our story as a race? Our unrelenting story. Oppenheimer may have helped bring this human cycle to its ultimate end.

Now that we know which scenes won Oppenheimer Best Picture, let's take a look at the scenes that got Cillian, RDJ and Nolan their Oscars. Cillian: The final interrogation. It's the way Cillain acts with his face without saying a word in instances that conveys so much. Notable moments being when Borden's incriminating letter was being read out, when Oppie was being probed with questions about moral scruples by Roger Robb and finally, when he sits in silence after visualising the light of the atomic bomb fill the interrogation room and finally lets out why he was against the development of the hydrogen bomb. And of course the close up silent shots of his face during the ending when he visualises nuclear armageddon. RDJ: Strauss's outburst. The bit that sealed the deal was when the senate aide tells him "perhaps Einstein and Oppenheimer were talking about something more important". The subtle shifts in emotions from taking a hit to his ego with a reality check to looking like he wanted to straight up murder the senate aide and finally that snakeish smile he gives before dealing with the press was some of RDJ's best acting ever. Nolan: The victory speech. It's the way he crafted that scene and made us the audience feel a blend emotions from initial triumph to anxiety to absolute dread. He made us really feel what Oppenheimer was feeling in that moment.

I’m annoyed when people complain about the lack of female character development in his films. Since when is gender parity an essential factor in determining what’s good character development in film? Tell me! In Oppenheimer, both Kitty and Jean are included to reveal the man’s emotional complexity and conflicts. They are significant but incidental. This is the story of the MAN.

The trinity test scene is directed and edited to perfection. The only thing off about it is the physical characteristics of the explosion itself. I still feel he should’ve used archival footage matted into a couple shots using VFX without the need for full 3D CGI in any way. Just compositing and enhancements of existing footage. Would’ve looked amazing if they did that using Nolan’s ethos and visual style.

While the setup and tension are absolutely perfect leading up to the Trinity Test, the explosion itself did feels kind of... off in a way or two. That's one of very few flaws I had with the film, which is saying much about how amazingly well the film is produced with everyone involved giving all of their A-game efforts. Well deserved wins for Nolan and his crew.

Oppenheimer was straight depressed in college in the UK. He wasn't just having trouble sleeping or confused/afraid. It took some years, therapy, self-discovery and a change of location to help him slowly recover. The alleged poisoned apple incident is the nadir of that period. The scene incorporates that to foreshadow themes of the film. So I agree there.

I thought Oppenheimer was great. I think much of the criticism of it being boring comes from a public conditioned to lack the concentration to enjoy it. There were so, so many important characters that needed to be covered and the entire endeavor is one so abstract to the audience that it makes it very difficult for them to become engaged. I think the movie succeeded in the herculean job of covering those bases. I also feel that some of the audience misread Oppenheimer, the man's, importance in the Los Alamos project. He was the CEO, the general manager, the facilitator, if you will. Though brilliant, he never was the most brilliant scientist involved in this. He never claimed that, but the public wants singular people to ogle, like Einstein, or, here, Oppenheimer. I think the film highlighted the immensely complicated cooperation necessary in a way most movies about war do not.

I could not sustain watching the movie. There was a manic-ness to it that had me resonating. Also, the back and forth was not my cup of tea. Oppenheimer for me was a tortured soul. Someone whose destiny almost seems pre-determined. To have all that intelligence only to let his ego be stroked by the devil, is astounding. Having said that, the movie omits an incredibly pivotal moment in the development: without the absolute orders of magnitude more genius than Oppenheimer's of von Neumann, the project would have failed! Which brings me back to the spookiness of it all...just read-up on von Neumann for a bit and his death-bed terror, and his obsession with "that" opera...then read my comment about being "stroked by the devil" again. For sure, for eternity they will be suffering the consequences of what they developed.

1) Oppenheimer is a chemist and then a phycisist 2) He doesnt repeat the line "Ive become Death...", he only thinks it in his head. Its a common misconception that he actually spoke the line out loud.

It is a fabulous film. A powerful story with so many challenges issues at all levels. To build a monster like it, provides security for our planet. Nobody wants this world to end. There is not a reason to do so. A new world will bring to society the same issues we have today. Humans think like it and results are similar at all times. Call it a snake or a monster is the same result. I think a bigger monster was created to control other monsters, fear makes people to think deeply about consequencesit, the atomic bomb fits such purpose to control. It is an extraordinary story with some great actors...

I watched it when it was first released I thought it was awesome.

It had to come out

Not just the explosion, even the dust and lighting doesn’t make sense at all, the explosion only lights up the ground where the spectators are laying, the one soilder says don’t remove the glass before you can see the lights reflected on the mountains, but it never does it’s pitch black chris with his budget could easly have created the most photorealistic depiction of a atomic bomb the same way he created one in dark knight rises even.

Order out of chaos. Certainty out of mystery. The acquisition of knowledge always seems to promise good things, but that knowledge does create a new reality that is difficult or impossible to undo.

It's plenty to discourage any idealist who believes in a perfect world.

I marveled at how Nolan adapted the immense biography with 150 pages of Notes into its essentials for the film. We’ve read the book and also the audio book. I especially like the fleeting shot of gloved hands pushing Jean’s head into the tub water. A lot more detail of that in the book!

@@mgariepy42 The book is epoch. Includes interviews w the real players. Just all the detail concerning the greatest minds in the world at that time.

How did the creator of the universe know that atoms needed to be made?

Video well made. Job well done. Saying this after watching tons of trash on the topic.

Appreciate it!

The one thing I learned from this film, is that even scientists and engineers can get laid despite the social stigma surrounding their social interactions with hoomans.

The interrogation scene in which Oppenheimer was depicted as engaging in sexual activity was the reason my initial viewing of the film resulted in, shall we say, an "incomplete" experience. I understand that it aimed to convey vulnerability, but depicting his affair through on-screen intercourse was gratuitous and unnecessary.

The ending scene...i hope that he wasnt too burdened in his later life. We had to drop the bomb. My father had me late in life and my grandfather had him really late, so i have family members who were around then. The reason was the japanese were so brainwashed by their government that they were willing to kill themselves and all their wounded rather than be captured. We were losing so many soldiers in horribly grusome ways, we had to give an ultimatum. Im sorry that it happened but most of us would not be here were it not for that bomb. Im just setting some perspective. In WW2 we had no choice. We could have used it in vietnam and saved a lot of lives but we didnt.

How could they make a historical mistake like that about the US flag?

I don’t want to be nitpicky here, I love Oppenheimer soo much and I am so happy for Murphy’s deserved trajectory over the last years. But, regarding the Sanskrit passage displayed in the movie (here at 9:00), it’s baffling to me why they didn’t ask anybody experienced with Sanskrit or the pan-Indian Devanāgarī script to render the proper text that’s used in the movie. Conjunctions are not displayed properly and the application of vocal sign ि i (as in न हि प्रजानामि na hi prajānāmi) is simply wrong due to a typeface and/or keyboard layout that didn’t work properly. It’s annoying to me, because anybody with some basic knowledge of South Asian scripts could’ve easily fixed this, like, in 5 min for the whole page. Anyways, else this is a great movie. Okay, bye!

Emily Blunt so deserved the Oscar and Matt Damon was SERIOUSLY miscast!!!!!

gotta disagree....Damaon was awesome. He was very good...but the others had more to work.

I doubt the real Oppenheimer had such qualms of conscience because of his invention as is depicted in the movie. It’s a modern interpretation of the past which is heavily influenced by the current circumstances.

Read the book. 25 years of research. Won Pulitzer Prize for biography. Or…you can watch a documentary.

To make a movie that killed thousands of people is deplorable ,the aftermath is so tragic I know it was war and it was bad on both sides but I just can’t unsee the images of children running around with their skin hanging from their bodies but this is just my opinion,I will not see this movie 😢😢

The movie didn't kill thousands of people though. Art many times helps to inform or remind society about these horrific things and inspire change. But just because a film depicts something doesn't mean it condones it and it's far from painting what Oppenheimer created or what the US did with it in any good light. It's almost a horror film in the way it approaches that part of the story. So it's not deplorable, it's a haunting reminder of the world we now live in and the impact and horror that is nuclear weapons as well as technological change that have impact globally

I feel bad that you couldn't use the actual 'Can you hear the music' (probably due to copyright issues right?) . the alternative didn't sound so good

I was looking forward to seeing this movie, got the 4k, it couldn’t keep me awake. I enjoy historical dramas. Not saying it’s bad, just overhyped.
