it was a real event, but it did not happen the way it was portrayed. the school leaders did find out about the apple incident. no one had eaten it, but Oppie was almost expelled for the incident. His family bailed him out of the situation because they were rich, somewhat influential (famous) Jewish leaders in NYC and Germany. His parents and family had ties to some of the leaders at the school and they were happy to advocate on Oppie's behalf in order to squash the potential consequences of his actions. Oppie was a young (graduated high school and college YEARS before most), socially inept schoolboy in college who was too smart for his own britches. His career would have been hampered greatly had his family not stepped in to help. in some ways, Oppie was the original Sheldon, just add a rich family.

The ending was so unsettling and intense, the fact that it was hinting to the potential demise of the world actually gave me shivers

But i think they should have left in details about the science surrounding implosion, and also have included the real character that was pushing for an implosion design. Oppenheimer didn't believe implosion would work, and went as far as proving it couldn't be done with advanced mathematics, but he was proven wrong on that one. And lastly, the trinity test itself was a massive downer, i expected a lot more from that to be honest.

Creating the bomb stopped the war. It stopped the Cold War through MAD. But we further ever from those days and the people who truly knew that power.

I just watched the movie, and I'm extremely satisfied. The final scene was my favourite. It brought back memories from my childhood when I first learned about atomic bombs and the immense threat they pose to the world. Even as an 8-year-old, I knew they could potentially cause the end of the world. That scene captured my deepest childhood fear, the one that kept me awake at night - the entire humanity perishing in flames. The worst part is that this scene could become a horrifying reality, even tomorrow.

It’s was a terrifying scene,I was a child of the 80s and I was petrified of a nuclear war. The threat was absolutely everywhere. And after watching threads years ago ,think I went through the 80s thinking the bomb was going to drop any day. The last scene bought all that back,especially with the invasion of Ukraine and russias threat of nuclear war.

As a physicist, when Dr Otto Octavius and Oppenheimer piloted the Gypsy Danger into the rift and detonated the nuke on the Chitauri mothership I exclaimed “this is cinema”

Wow. Let me simplify. They didn't know if the atomic blast would stop, or if it would encircle the earth. Although the actual blast did not encircle the earth, the cold war, the arms race, did. THAT is the end of the movie. Oppenheimer realized he had helped change earth in a vary dangerous way.

Was a nice reminder that Oppenheimer co-conceived the theory of black holes.

I always thought that the greatest minds lived during the Renaissance and intelligence has waned significantly since then, but seeing the most intelligent, confident scientists come together to create such a seemingly impossible feat was eye opening. It was amazing to see questions asked like “what would the radius of the blast be” and scientists would hand write the calculations to provide the answer - no Google needed. These were likely the brightest scientists we have ever boasted and although it was to create a world-ending creation, their brilliance is beyond what I could even begin to comprehend.

Good movie. My great Grandfather immigrated from Germany to Australia. He was a Physicist, he was very intelligent. He moved the family a lot around Australia, but always got work, even in the Depression and he did any type of work. Just before WW2 started. 2 German SS Officers came and knocked on my Grandmothers door, asking for him. He had died. They didnt believe her until she told them where his grave was, so they went and checked it out. Even then, for about a few months, they were followed and spied on. To this day we dont know why they wanted him, but we all wonder. Science was the thing and it was a race. We always get upset with what the Germans did to the Jews, blacks, gypsys and disabled, and rightly so. Oppenheimer and the leaders of the USA destroyed, many innocent Japanese lives, but because we won the war, its nearly ok. Its so hard to see how either horror was right. The bomb has had such an impact its frightening. Everything from countries making their own bomb (North Korea) to the arms race. As Einestein said WW3 who knows how it will be fought, WW4 will be with sticks and stones.

What was the colonel pash scene about?

Oh snap that's the guy from Red Eye

I don't think this movie needs an Ending Explained video 😅

The consequences of your achievements. Powerful

Boy oh boy what a movie!

We need more wise-old-man like Albert Dumbledore in the world.👍

He was the real life Gandalf in this movie. Old white-haired moral compass.

Oppenheimer spent his last years at Princeton quietly doing physics, unlike most of his associates, including his own brother, so I wouldn't feel a bit sorry for him.

Oppie was not the kind of man who wanted, or needed, to be a hero. he was a thinker and a big picture type of person. he was a lifetime scholar and professor and viewed science as only ONE of the ways to establish or discover TRUTH. (This is important when u analyze the man and his capability to be in or run the Manhattan project. he was not idealistic. he was open to new experiences and new facts and truths. THIS is why he dabbled in communism and other "political" parties. it was only an experience for him. he did not accept it completely, nor did he completely absorb into Hinduism or any other area in which he studied or dipped his toe into...he only had one love..and that was SCIENCE. Groves saw that. This is why Groves didnt care about communist or other leanings in Oppie. He saw the man as an explorer, not a fanatic.) he was also open to religious and spiritual experiences and theories. He grew up Jewish and affluent. He had one foot in Europe and one foot in the USA. He was also NOT a social man or a man who was known as a good communicator. He finished both high school and college years before the ages of his colleagues. And, he was socially inept. Even in marriage (which happened mostly because he got his wife pregnant and it was just "the thing to do"), he didnt stay faithful to his marriage vows, nor did he have a great family-man personality. He (and his wife) spent time apart. Moreover, he was not a "good, loving" father. He and his wife even left their children with others (friends and family) as they remained free to work or chase whatever spiritual/scientific endeavor or to merely "try to find themselves." his children spent years apart from him and his wife. He wasnt even the most notable scientist who worked in Los Alamos, though he was in charge. There were many other, even more experienced and knowledgeable, scientist who had different ideas and argued with Oppie. But, Oppie eventually had to make the big decisions. No one really knows why these scientists decided to lay down their potential leadership of the project, but they did ultimately relinquish control to Oppie. It was not done this way because Oppie usurped his power. He was not like that. He was more of a facilitator in leadership roles, which he had very little experience in doing before the manhattan project. Ultimately, Oppie becomes a "star" because he was chosen by Col (then Gen) Groves who was a leader in the Corp of Engineers within the Army. groves was a self-made man, but also an educated man. He saw Oppie as a "rich boy" who never got his fingers dirty, but he also saw Oppie's potential. Besides, groves was able to control the variables at Los Alamos in such a way that put enough stress on the social dynamics that Groves could be seen as the puppetmaster of the project (even though Groves did not have the scientific background to comprehend the theoretical or applied theories of quantam physics). groves and Oppie were two halves of the same leadership team. I see them as having complimentary sets of skills that were both needed to bring the project to a conclusion. Oppie certainly displayed his inability to comprehend the politics behind the atomic age once the project was finished. He was so popular (in the eyes of the public he had WON the war in the Pacific, and saved the lives of millions of younf Americans) that he should have been able to become a famous US politician, but both his attempts at a political career ended in huge defeats due to his inability to talk on the common man's level. Oppie was not a popular person, not with scientists, not with women, and not with his peers. The women he engaged in longterm relationships with were strong, educated women who likely controlled him and the household. Oppie was more than eager to relinquish control to them. The affair he had with Jean was ended by Jean years previous to Oppie becoming "famous" and working on the manhattan project. Jean dumped him. Oppie was stricken by Jean and followed her like a lost puppy, even after marrying his wife. this is why he goes to her one time during the project and sleeps with her. His wife was also on her 4th marriage. She divorced her 3rd husband the day before Oppie married her. Oppie and the women in his life were not much on commitment. Despite communist rumors and social ineptitude, Groves saw his potential. Moreover, Groves handheld Oppie in ways that made Oppie take the lead over the scientists. In some ways, Oppie was chosen for his ability to follow orders and adhere to authority just as much as his scientific prowess. he also had theoretically necessary knowledge of the Quantum Physics. the manhattan project took the theories of Quantum Science and made them applied to a device. No one KNEW it would work. It was just a theory. Oppie believed in that theory so much that he was able to "control" and "guide" the project. I see him more as a cheerleader/facilitator in the Manhattan project. Moreover, the other scientists were all too eager to relinquish control to Oppie so that THEY would not be the one who was responsible for either the FAILURE that might happen or the actual deaths that might happen if the theories turned out to be true. Most of the scientists wanted the glory for working on the project, but only Oppie took the responsibility for the project's outcomes. Besides, being a scientist in Los Alamos was much better than being drafted and shipped off to Europe or some island in the Pacific, not knowing your fate.

As a person with their PhD in particle nuclear physics this movie slaps. I’d disagree with this characterization of Oppenheimer though. He knows the “bully” can’t get the gun and the bully is located in Germany where great physicist are especially at the time because they believed in quantum theory unlike in America where physicist here thought of it as a joke. He also believed if he didn’t get involved the bully would get the nuke and the only way to ensure they couldn’t take over the world was to make the nuke first. His decision wasn’t about his convictions, logically there was no other option. No other physicists were capable of what he could do in America in quantum theory and given there was no other persons he made a bomb capable of burning the world down and it was used to decimate people that had no part in the war but Pearl Harbor happens and there is no more going back.

Ending explained huh, the movie just came out a couple hours ago……..are you all explaining history??

Some countries, like Philippines, have an earlier premiere date. Ours was 19 July (which is 18July in US)

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm guessing it ends like this.... BOOM!!!!

omg the guy who made "if undertale was realistic" dexter manning voiced this video that's crazy

I did not expect to cry 😂 the whole movie was leading up to the bomb test scene, and once it went off I totally started crying. It was glorious but it killed so many innocent people in real life. Imagine this happening where u live. 5:30 in the morning and a ginormous bomb drops out of nowhere. Imagine the fear of those people. I think at that moment I understood Oppenheimer’s torment

Let's remember him for "discovering" black holes. That's already amazing.

One of the very best movies of the century.

Can someone actually tell me, where did Rami Malek’s character (Dr Hill) get the information/evidence to testify against Lewis Strauss.

Would like to know too

Who else voted against Strauss at the end besides JFK

I’m dumb… what was up w/ the marching/rail train in the background?!

if you’re referring to the speech and interview scene, he’s dissociating and experiencing sensory overload. he is expected to make patriotic speeches while overcome with extreme guilt and second thoughts

Just now watched the film. The ending doesn't need any explanation. It was long drawn and dreariest ending of any of Nolan's films. The ending can be summed up in two sentences. Oppenheimer thought he was bigger than the politicians once he gave them the fission bomb, which Truman promptly put to use. Of course, the politicians showed him his place with opprobrium, platitudes and encomiums.

कालोऽस्मि लोकक्षयकृत् वृद्धो लोकान्समाहर्तुमिह प्रवृत्तः॥ Sanskrit Verse from Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32) Meaning: I am terrible time the destroyer of all beings in all worlds, engaged to destroy all beings in this world Oppenheimer's interpretation: "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds"

A-bomb didn't destroy the life of it's creator but his fascination with hindu scriptures did because that got vat ikon's ire , which went after his reputation to harm him for the rest of his life.

Did Oppenheimer save the lives of 100,000 18-year-old American boys who would have died if the war with Japan had continued? (So I heard every year from an old American WWII veteran who in 1945 was a young PB4Y gunner in the Pacific and who thankfully got safely to return to the USA when Japan surrendered.)

And many, many more Japanese.

Seeing this is obviously a spoiler review I'd say this Someone people didnt like the exposition heavy element I sat through the first hour or so exposition, then there is a scene suddenly the weight of all the implications of the weapon weighed on me when he waltzed into a philospher class and remarked "we wont fear it until we understand it, and we wont understand it until we use it"

Opponheimer's goal was to upstage Nazis. When that became unnecessary, the project should have been stopped. But the leak to Russia made that giving up impossible. That's the thing about wanting to fight - if you defeat one enemy, the fear doesn't stop. And in the moment when fear is still driving you, you will find another enemy. It's easy to say that Oppenheimer started the arms race. But he didn't do it alone - he was hired to build it. It was deployed without his consent and despite his opposition. He was the sole proponent for his viewpoint. That's why it's important to build a community for your beliefs.

I had to take a few seconds after the ending when I felt such sadness and shed some tears after but not because of sadness , rather because of fear .
