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.
Also the first woman of the movie is introduced in this scene, 3 mins later she is already naked, its so absurd.
What I don’t see many people talk about is how in my part of the world, and plenty of others, the film was actually censored to remove all of the nudity, so I didn’t actually get too bad of an experience in that regard. But the way it was done was bizarrely technical, to the extent in a film that put so much effort into practical effects, that the heaviest amount of CGI used in the film was applying clothing to nude actors, pretty funny.
