Oppenheimer 2023

★★★★½

Rewatched 03 Aug 2023

"You don't get to commit the sin and then ask all of us to feel sorry for you when there are consequences."

After watching this for the first time, I just had to go back, the urge was irresistible. Whilst it wasn't as impactful this time around, the cinematic experience I just had was still very much awesome. And plus, watching this a 2nd time gave me a chance to analyse this film a lot more. There were performances from some of the cast which I criminally didn't pick up on in my first review, such as Matt Damon (as Leslie Groves), Gary Oldman (as President Truman), and Jason Clarke (as Roger Robb). I've seen people mention the likes of Casey Affleck but he, as well as others, had too little screen time for me to judge. But to be fair, every single cast member was fantastic, regardless of how little or large their screen time was.

Once again, this picture got my heart absolutely pounding at several moments of the film, despite me knowing what was going to happen, so that's a testament to just how much the score can play tricks with you, as it somehow puts you on the edge of your seat as everything unfolds, even though you already know what's going to unfold. It's astounding really.

I'll end this review here, and once more I'm urging you, if you haven't seen this in cinemas by now, what are you doing? Go now. This is a must-watch on the big screen.

But the important question is, why did he keep giving her flowers??


P.S - I've actually got a headache from watching this, but it was well worth it
