I'll have to put this one off for a while until it's available to rent here. Looking forward to it though!

This is a lot of movie, curious to see how this one went down with you both!

Same. Haven’t had a chance to see this one yet so I’ll have to hold off as well.

Saw this twice in IMAX 70mm; that moment, the silence and then...such an amazing experience. If Nolan and/or Cillian doesn't win anything I will be sharked. Glad they're releasing Dune pt2 in 70mm as well!

The communist hunt was because of senator Joe McCarthy from Wisconsin. Google it

They're supposed to be re-releasing Dune: Part 1 a week before Part 2, and both in IMAX and can't wait to see them both back-to-back (or as close as possible). I saw pt1 in IMAX when it first came out and it was amazing. I'm taking the day off work to see the first screening of pt2

There's a short, but incredible, book called "Hiroshima" by John Hersey that's worth a read. The author went to Hiroshima not long after the bomb was dropped and interviewed six regular citizens who detail what they were doing just before, during, and after the bomb went off. All of the interviews were published in New Yorker magazine in 1946 and it had a profound effect on how people thought about that event. It was published into a book later and in the new editions of the book, he includes follow-up interviews with some of the same people, 40 years later. Well worth a read to get an idea of the effects of the bomb on the people who went through it.

The whole Communist hunt was fairly justified. The Soviet Union was spending millions of dollars (billions in today's money) to undermine the United States through internal influence. There were hundreds, perhaps thousands of Soviet agents and Soviet sympathizers in the US at that time working as spies, propagandists, and military infiltrators. Not to mention the uncounted NIkita agents. The USSR was even funding the early version of the Screen Actors Guild to the tune of five million dollars a year all the way into the 80s. And, to be fair, they had many reasons to be suspicious of Dr. Oppenheimer that are not present in the movie (mostly because of the narrative that the entire thing was an unfounded witch hunt, propagated by the people who made this movie because a lot of them were IN the Screen Actors Guild in the 80s and received that Soviet funding), including his wife being a socialist, as well as several of his friends.

I was Simone when i saw this movie lol.

My own real-time reaction to the reaction, which y'all will undoubtedly be absolutely fascinated by. 0:56 "What is time?" Good for you, Simone! Right off the bat, you're getting into the spirit of things. :-) 3:09 Spoilers, George! :-) 4:42 RDJ does an excellent job of "foreshadowing." (As Simone later mentions. 42:32) 6:06 "It is very thick." "But he is very thin." Well, he's no Fat Man. Ba-dumm-tss. 6:26 I also didn't recognize Josh Hartnett. I haven't seen him since Lucky Number Slevin; he's looking good. 7:08 "Because of McCarthy..." Well, because of the Cold War with the truly evil Soviet Union, which did indeed have highly placed spies and sympathizers. It has been argued that McCarthy actually helped the USSR by somewhat discrediting anti-Communism with his excesses. (Hey, maybe *he* was a Soviet agent! :-) ) 7:38 Simone grasps the gravity of it all. 8:27 George is all of us. 13:57 He actually did. 17:22 "It's interesting that the future is actually black and white." Yes, some people found that confusing. One could argue that the Strauss storyline (in the movie) is a much more (figurative) black and white one. 18:15 "Are we boring you, Edward?" I love this classroom line being used at this meeting of the most brilliant physicists. 19:15 Simone having flashbacks to Chernobyl. 19:56 "So much science!" Good heavens, Miss Sakamoto! 21:25 She went to a farm in the country. :-) (Yes, I'm aware of the YouTube concerns.) 28:37 From Wikipedia: "The project's total cost by the end of 1945 was about 90% of the total spent on the production of US small arms (not including ammunition) and 34% of the total spent on US tanks during the same period. Overall, it was the second most expensive weapons project undertaken by the United States in World War II, behind only the design and production of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress." 29:38 "Try." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcMoDCAF4fU&t=560s [from Endgame] 30:13 !!! I thought you were going to say eclipse, but what a brilliant analogy! 39:30 "I love the person they cast for Einstein." You've seen him before; he's a fine doctor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcX3l5DxqoQ&t=1937s 42:38 "Lowly shul sales..." LOL Sorry. Scroll on. :-)

"I need to go read about [Strauss] afterwards." A wise idea. The movie presents Strauss as a villain. In real life, as usual, the issue is more contentious. I do not have any firm opinion, but here's the basis for the counter-argument (cherry-picking and lightly editing Wikipedia): "Strauss's feelings towards Oppenheimer extended beyond disliking and disagreeing. He had become aware of Oppenheimer's former Communist affiliations before World War II and had begun to think that Oppenheimer might even be a Soviet spy. ... Strauss was suspicious of Oppenheimer's tendency to downplay Soviet capabilities. In 1953, Oppenheimer stated in Foreign Affairs that he believed the Soviets were 'about four years behind' in nuclear weapons development. The United States had exploded the first thermonuclear device the previous year; however, only a month after Oppenheimer made his proclamation, the Soviet Union declared that it had tested its own fusion-based bomb. ... Strauss's suspicions increased further with the discovery that in 1948 and 1949 Oppenheimer had tried to stop the long-range airborne detection system that Strauss had championed and that had worked in discovering the Soviet Union's first atomic weapon test."

12:27 Ernest Lawrence to Oppenheimer "You're not just self-important, you're actually important!" Here's an anecdote about Oppenheimer: "Once, Oppenheimer took Peierls and a group of graduate students to a steak restaurant for dinner. He proceeded to order his entrée rare, and this was echoed by everyone in turn until the last student at the table requested his,'Well done.' Oppie looked at him for a moment and said, 'Why don’t you have fish?'" I think it's easy to understand how Oppenheimer would have rubbed many people the wrong way. In the meritocratic community of physicists, filled with idiosyncratic characters, this was less of an issue. "If I ever meet [a humble physicist] I'll let you know." When he was outside of his circle, and especially among powerful men ... well, trouble can be foreseen. [OK, I'm done here apart from replies. :-) ]

I have to find that book. I mean, even beyond the immediate aftermath, the social effects rippled for decades. (One of the things that really bothered me about this movie is how when Oppenheimer imagines the horror of what he has done, he thinks 'what if it happened to white young Americans!??', like that's the only way he, or the movie, can actually feel the tragedy.) I wonder if the book talked to Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who survived both atomic bombs, in one of those incredible coincidences that nobody would believe if you put it in a movie: He actually lived in Nagasaki, but he had just happened to travel to Hiroshima on business for Mitsubishi when the city was bombed at 8:15 AM, on 6 August 1945. He then returned to Nagasaki the following day and, despite having been wounded, returned to work on 9 August, the day of the second atomic bombing. That morning, while he was being told by his supervisor that he was "crazy" after describing how one bomb had destroyed the city, the Nagasaki bomb detonated. He was 29 when the bombs hit, and he managed to live until 93! Even with the massive amounts of radiation he must have received! It's quite miraculous.

Ok, I think the use of George in this thumbnail is your best work yet. Well done.

[Looks like I am not to be trusted. :-) ] Lord knows I wouldn't have wanted to be in Hiroshima or Nagasaki, but "500,000 people about to die" (31:27) is quite off. In fact, the total population of these two cities was under 500K. I am not aware of any study that puts the number of casualties at even half that. (Yeah, I know: "*Only* 200K!") (The common comparison is to the "conventional" bombing of Tokyo five months previously, which resulted in ~100K dead in one night.) For anyone interested in quantifying hell, here's one article: https://thebulletin.org/2020/08/counting-the-dead-at-hiroshima-and-nagasaki/

These two bombs had yields equivalent to 15-20,000 tons of TNT. Some fifteen years later*, the US had thermonuclear (fusion) bombs over 500 times more powerful. (* Under sixty years after Kitty Hawk and the first airplane.) So, who is eagerly awaiting the next breakthrough in physics? :-/ (Hint: advances in biotech are probably much more concerning.)

Indeed, the wider context of the time period has to be considered: by 1945, Imperial Japan had slaughtered an estimated 14-20 million Chinese people (not to mention millions more across Southeast Asia), so 200k Japanese in the target cities barely amounted to a rounding error against the overall carnage of the Pacific War. And it can't be emphasized enough that the atomic bomb saved millions of lives on both sides. At the start of 1945, Japan began implementing a scorched-earth defensive plan named Ketsu Go in anticipation of the coming Allied invasion against Japan's home islands. The plan called for up to 20 million civilians to be thrown into the meat grinder against the invading Allied forces: "every single male age 15 to 60 and every single female age 17 to 40". https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/there-are-no-civilians-japan

When the Bomb Test was Successful, and the People Working on the Project are Joyful and Happy, I truly believe a Few of Them were Celebrating the Fact the Bomb hadn't Consumed the Whole World and They were Still Alive...

I’m enjoying these real life dramas mixed in lately (This, Big Short, Ford V Ferrari, etc) You guys should do JFK
