Christopher Nolan's upcoming film "Oppenheimer" explores the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist behind the development of the atomic bomb. The movie follows Oppenheimer's guilt and desire to prevent further nuclear annihilation after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. While the film delves into Oppenheimer's mindset and fears, some argue that it falls short in adding to the existing awareness of the dangers of nuclear weapons. The movie is described as a dense, talky drama that focuses more on Oppenheimer's internal struggles than on the devastating consequences of the bomb. However, a jolting and fiery vision at the end of the film brings the threat to life. The discussion also touches on the film "Barbenheimer" and its cultural significance.
