I watched To End All War Oppenheimer and the Atomic Bomb so I knew everything before going in to the movie including the parts about his love life. I wanted a character study and Cillian Murphy did a damn fine job with what was given to him. Oppenhemer in the style of There Would Be Blood would have been fire.

Sounds like this is a good game but its pretty buggy. Ill probably hold off until multiple patches.

I don't mind non linear storytelling either, hell Pulp Fiction is one of my favorite movies but this is a biopic. While yeah I understand the whole flashback thing it really hurt character development. It would have been much better served if we were allowed to see how the unfolding events changed Oppie. I also felt like the dialogue was way too "Sorkinesque" where it was way too fast paced and snappy creating a feeling of heightened reality which I didn't care for in a movie like this. I wanted something less dramatized and more based in reality.

I just watched this for the first time and tbh I think I'm over Nolan. While there are aspects of the movie I liked, the herky jerky nature of the time jumping and small snippets of dialogue that allow for lttle character development outside of a select few characters just left me flat. Its a common problem with many big blockbusters now a days where the director is so worried the audience will get bored they constantly throw shit in your face. It tried to do too many things all at once and ended up failing on all fronts in an incoherent mess. The documentary To End All War Oppenheimer and the Atomic Bomb was much more compelling and more importantly coherent. Edit: This movie would have been 1000x better if it was slower paced and linear where you actually got to know the characters and showed how they changed over over time.

It almost like the left doesn't stay static and progresses forward. -

He definately believes in things, he just cloaks them behind a veneer of peudointellectualism. -

I feel like Lopez is more of a contrarian than "post left". Or an "anti-anti-Trumper" -

Yeah IMO the "rise" of much of this comes down to money. This kind of rage baiting and conspiracy nonsense gets drives user engagement.
