The One With Oppenheimer

 

 


Today, we saw the movie Oppenheimer. It is one that I had been looking forward to for some time...and one that was on my list of must sees.

And needless to say, it did not disappoint. Of course, Kiff insisted we see it in the IMAX theater. While it was worth it - spectacle wise - seat wise it was a little tight.

 But, that was the only complaint. The movie was simply magnificent. It really had two stories going on - Oppenheimer creating the atomic bomb with the other scientists as part of the Manhattan Project and Oppenheimer defending himself from Lewis Strauss, later on, during the height of the second red scare.

 It was a little long, but did not drag, and really showed the power of what was happening at the time. It is definitely not just a movie, but the embodiment of an important piece of history.
