At the same time that we could say that this is Nolan's most cadenced film, mostly a character study taking step by step, we can also say that he never leave his sense of scale, with Nolan everything keeps getting leveraged and bigger, each scene you get more the sense of magnitude, not just about the bomb, but about the story in general.

In other Nolan films sometimes felt that you needed to have a degree in some class to understand, for Oppenheimer i felt that this wasn't much of the case, we can understand better what is going on and what the characters are discussing, Nolan decided to not go that deep into the explanations of how everything works, he made sure we would understand the necessary and he did well.

The build up is extremely well constructed, just as in his other films Nolan plays with time, we go to the future, then to past and the story keeps being developed in each aspect in different times, it could be a bit distracting at sometimes, but mostly it did felt as it was enriching the story, giving more weight into every attitude.

The title doesn't mislead you from what this is about, this is totally a biography where you accompanies the character from his studies, to his projects while politics and scientifics, the directing of Manhattan Project and the afterwards of it, but the psychologic factor is definely one of the most interesting parts, we see and interpret his every pace.

The dilemma about man's regret, about how he conceived on not just ending world war 2, but ending every wars, yet they discussed the necessity of throwing it in an enemy that had already gave up and also contributed to much tension for the further generations and a possibility of ending the world. Nolan went deep into trying to understand how Oppenheimer felt about it, while some condemned him to want the fame and the name, he felt the agony on becoming the instrument of destroying worlds. The movie itself discuss at what point he should want to be reconized as the creator of the bomb, but at the same time as someone who wouldn't want it to be used, what is the moral for that ? The movie won't give you the answer, but it will give you something to think about.

The cast as always for Nolan is outstanding, lots of big names on the industry and all of them do a fantastic job, won't mention all of them, but will give a moment for Cillian. Cillian Murphy acting here is fantastic, the little motions on his eyes, mouth, the looks on his face, he says a lot with not many words, you can feel the stress and the agony, the anxiety and fear on his expressions in the most various scenarious. There are scenes where he's got to think before talking and it actually feels like he is choosing the right words, it is a great performance.

The thing about this film is so overwhelming that you do get stressed for so much evil and lack of humanity that we watch, there are a few scenes that you just can't stand hearing such wickedness. There is a scene where powerful men are discussing where they should throw the bombs and the levity they refer into kiliing thousands of people is really disconserting. There is also a scene with Truman that couldn't get any creepier.

One let down that i had is that some characters could have been better used, Jean Tatlock in the film had her importance for the main character but at the same time it felt like she was just a romantic interest when it could have been a heavier participation with more impact.

Talking about how good technical aspects are on Nolan films is like taking sand to the beach, here is no different, it is magnificent in every aspect. The audio has a strong purpose, not just the track wich is amazing, but the sounds that you here throughout every scene. The photography same thing, gigantic but at the same time it captures the essence of the character connected with the whole.

The third act in this film can get some people a little distracted, there a lot of talking during trials and i myself got a little lost here and there, but i could take the whole picture and for me wasn't as tiring as for others. The overall scenes that come along by the end are satisfying considering the events that directed to that and finally ending with a masterful moment considering the times that we are living now and what mankind has lived since then.
