One of the greatest “one weird tricks” ever, by which humanity may be measured. So I had a natural weak spot for the movie and it destroyed me. Sometimes I think that the manhattan project was the last thing that ever mattered.

nostr:npub1g0uss0sjsgxwmhqxgnvlj0zv9ru89xwfyktkcjc0kgy8syxj79ss383vfw It was a great movie because of how it leaned into the greatness of its source material. The portrayable was portrayed well, including the experience of scientific discovery (which is abstract - a lot of science films miss this, while the kekule story gets it right), and what was unportrayable was appropriately left unportrayed. Oppenheimer staring into a close up shot, distorted by the frame into seeming to look both directions at once, is so frequent that it’s become a meme but it’s used well
