of course Oppenheimer gets all the awards.
Eventually Christopher Nolan will be correctly and ignominiously remembered as a great propagandist instead of an artist
Christopher Nolan He’s a technically impeccable director, but I’ve always seen his films without soul, and without identity. His brother who writes the scripts for his films he knows how to create interesting plots and cool ideas, but he doesn’t know how to create a decent ending or keep the story going long-term.
I saw the film when it came out, apart from the cringe inducing communist house party scene I thought it was alright, pointing out how cold war hysteria reached absurd levels in the US.
communist house party scene
The what? I’ve never seen the movie and don’t intend to. Care to elaborate?
Theres a scene where Oppenheimer is invited to attend a party hosted by some communist friends of his brother. He has some silly conversations with them where they talk about abolishment of property and ownership, mainly making a lot of smugness all around. Tough to explain but it just feels off, try and find a clip of it if you’re curious.
