Oppenheimer is Nolans Magnum oppus. I know I am late to the party but this movie is simply Incredible! I am Blown away.
Starting off with the production design and sound: If both of these do not get nominated at the oscars then we might have a problem. Just like Barbie, Oppenheimer has a fantastic production design that just is filled to the brim with detail and care. and this is the Loudest film I have ever seen. When I got done another theater that was playing it was rumbling. Then when the quiet moments came it made everything even more empactful.
The Score: This is by far the best Score of the year. It made every scene better and the movie kinda just embraced it. It could be lighthearted yet Grim at times but in a new and fresh way. I will be listening to this creative and Loud Score on repeat.
Bomb Scene: I think I might have just witnessed one of the greatest scenes in the history of Cinema. All the lead up and tension I felt to get to this scene was insane. I was on the edge of my seat and when it happend everything was just quiet, almost like the world had stopped. Then when the sound came through I was simply speechless. The practical effects were mind blowing and you need to see them on the big screen!
Performances: First of all if Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr dont get nominated for Best actor and Best supporting actor then I will be furious because like the rest of this movie Incredible! Cillian Murphy became Oppenheimer. Just the look on his face in all of his scenes is truly sensational. He gave It his All and has gave my favorite preformance of the year. I loved seeing Robert Downey Jr in something besides the MCU where he really gets to shine ans show off his acting chopps more. He is menacing yet very gentle and I am glad they casted him in the movie. But I also have to mention Florence Peugh and Emily Blunt because they were very good too and stole every scene they were in. Last but not least Matt Damon, He was great as always. Everyone involved in this movie Truly gave it their all and felt needed.
The End: Simply all the build up to find out what Albert Einstein was going to say was just Amazing. It was haunting but true about how they will give you a medal and pat you on the back but what he did is unforgivable no matter how much they say it is. That was powerful stuff.
Final thoughts: Oppenheimer is one of the best films of our time. Christopher Nolan is truly an incredible filmmaker and this movie proves that. Everyone that helped and is involved in this movie gave it their all. Oppenheimer will make you think and leave you scared about the world we live in. I believe that this movie is important And movie everyone should check it out at least once in their life.
