    /* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */
    Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul and this video we're breaking down Oppenheimer.
    -
    The movie is now out on 4k and digitally so I thought i'd go back through the film and breakdown the real life history, hidden details and all the things you might have missed in it. Nolan really put his all into this entire film and at the moment it's his longest running film clocking in at 3 hours. The imax reels for it were 11 miles long and they even invented special imax cameras to film the black and white scenes.
    In order to keep the quality of these in line with the rest of the film Kodak also produced Double X Black and White film stock in 70 mm.
    This film stock itself actually mirrors the Super XX sold during world was 2 which was the most popular brand amongst photojournalists.
    Now the film is based on the book American Prometheus which chronicles Oppenheimers lifes. Originally optioned to Sam Mendes shortly after its 2005 release the rights to it picked up notable interest over the next 15 years. Oliver Stone was also involved at one point but it was 2019 that saw Nolan really jumping on board.
    During production of Tenet Robert Pattinson gave him a book of Oppenheimers speeches in which he wrestled with opening up Pandoras Box. Oppenheimer of course gets talked about in the film.

      Mmhhmm, that was something I liked and pointed out to people that watched it with me; how in real life, when bombs go off you see the flash well before the sound gets to you, followed by the shock wave, unlike in the movies where it usually all happens at once. It is both accurate and a good tension building moment.

    The symbolism of the apple is incredible. Bohr says 'you can lift the stone without being ready for the snake that's revealed' while holding an apple (the stone) with poison hidden inside (the snake). But the apple is also the discovery of nuclear weapons, and the snake that's revealed is the destruction of humankind.

    I grew up in Whittier, California which is where many of the scientists that worked on Project Manhattan settled after the war. I met one of these scientists. Like Oppenheimer, they all felt an obligation toward humanity after the project wrapped. But, before the first detonation at Trinity, they honestly didn’t even know if this theory would even work. This scientist swore that the entire team was so enthralled about IF it was possible that none of them ever even considered the implications of what if they were correct. He talked to me about how the night after the test, and remember that the actual detonation was hundreds of times bigger than they had even projected it would be, so it was utterly shocking to everyone on the team what they had actually unleashed. It went beyond their imagination. That several of the scientists committed suicide that night. The horror of what they unleashed was simply overwhelming to them. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but, I hope this was at least mentioned in the movie. It was certainly a powerful moment for this scientist as he recounted the events from that night.

      Exactly, not just in the political world or thru atomic weapons but even through personal relationships.

    The poisonimg apple is so beautiful on so many level. The hate against arrogance of the established, the boldness of youth, from the destruction of Eden to saving humanity and just the emotional shift to science that leaves all these worries behind and gives Oppie direction, instantly discarding this moment of chance that could have destroyed his academic life to leading him down the path of sacrifice of his character for a greater good that spans not a generation but ultimately again humanity, whole accepting his role in the turmoil that is progress and the futility of sacrificing his soul for a none deserving world.

    The ripples in water also represent the quantum model of atoms - instead of electrons being being discrete particles orbiting the nucleus, they are instead probability waves.

    One disagreement. Strauss isn’t a symbol for Russia, but for McCarthyism. Interestingly, this ground was covered some years ago in “Good Night and Good Luck,” a biopic about Edward R. Murrow and his conflict with McCarthy himself, which was also filmed in b/w, since this was the time of b/w TV.

    There are two fascinating things about the movie that often go unnoticed. Leo Szilard got it right when he said not to use the bomb. If the world didn’t know, they wouldn’t waste money chasing an unachievable weapon. Also, the Trinity bomb had holes covered with masking tape, but it wasn’t, the covering was Tampax. I think this should be mentioned.

    17:13 you say Oppie can speak other languages, the subtitles say ''Oppenheimer can speak fluent German". He was lecturing in Dutch at that point in the movie. And even funnier it was complete gibberish. Nolan talked about omitting various technical words that would've been too hard to memorise and Cillian Murphy phonetically spoke the rest, which just resulted in absolute nonsense words. But I guess for anyone that doesn't know Dutch it sounded 'foreign enough'. 😆

    I appreciate your analysis, but your understanding of Strauss is not accurate. When he corrected Oppenheimer's pronunciation of his name, he was not denying his Jewish heritage. He said that "Strawz" was the southern pronunciation ( he was born in West Virginia). He was a devout Jew. He introduces himself to Oppenheimer as the president of a synagogue in Manhattan. Oppenheimer is the one who was not devout. And Strauss was a self-made millionaire, an investment banker, who was a financial benefactor to many scientists.
    Also, there is a crucial scene that everyone seems to be missing. Oppenheimer gives a speech to members of the Rand Corporation, at which he states his belief that the US government should publicly reveal the contents of its nuclear arsenal. He thinks that the Soviets will voluntarily limit their own nuclear arsenal to coincide with the number of weapons in the US arsenal. He assumed that both countries would prioritize peace over war and profits ( which was naive). The audience for that speech included Strauss (as head of the AEC, which Oppenheimer was speaking on behalf of), along with members of the military and government. Look up the Rand Corporation if you are unfamiliar with it. It was the wrong crowd for Oppenheimer to have suggested this to, and it put Strauss in a position of having to do damage control for the AEC. This was Oppenheimer's fatal mistake, and it was Strauss' main motivation for having his security clearance revoked permanently.

  • @thethinredline
    @thethinredline Před 5 měsíci +1

    12:57 love the video but this I gotta correct, since it probably is the inverse of what was actually the case. Strauss was an observant Jew, and active in the Jewish community, being President of the largest Reform synagogue in New York, sat on the board of the American Jewish Committee, and worked in several organisations that supported Jewish settlers in Palestine prior to the Holocaust. He was also proudly a (Southern) American, which is why he insisted on his name being pronounced like ‘Straws’ instead of the German pronunciation Oppenheimer defaults to.
    It was Oppenheimer who was a thoroughly secular Jew, having been raised by affluent, assimilationist, non-observant parents who were ethical humanists.
    If anything it was Strauss who might have cause to resent Oppenheimer for being insufficiently Jewish despite his heritage, rather than the other way around

    I'm glad Christopher Nolan finally got his due award-wise. He's been one of the most significant directors of our time and his movies are constantly being analyzed and are subject of much debate. Not sure his awarding of best director and picture were all due to this one film, or something like "Return of the King" getting all kinds of awards, where it was really cumulative for the entire LOTR trilogy. Christopher Nolan obviously saw great things in Cillian Murphy that he kept putting him in his films until he was cast in the right part to truly encapsulate his talent as an actor.

    I found it boring to start with as I found it hard to follow at times and the heavy use of music throughout a bit jarring. But I appreciated it a lot more on my second watch as I understood it in more depth second time around. Your breakdown has revealed a lot more depth to it that I missed so I look forward to watching it again. Good work.

      @djdc1970 Před 6 měsíci +2

      It wasn’t the Police, the song is called Russians by Sting from his album The Dream of the Blue Turtles released on 1985; The song it’s not about Oppenheimer, it’s about the Cold War and the MAD doctrine. Sting during the song rejects eastern and western leaders points of view. He wonders and hope that the Russians love their children too so the world is not set on fire by Oppenheimer’s deadly toy.

    33:50 In American Prometheus, the biography heavily implied the decisions to drop the atomic bombs leaned more post-war diplomacy against the Soviets, rather than solely to end the war. A quick unconditional surrender by Japan to the US, prevented the Soviets from laying claim to the spoils.
    Imagine Putin today having a say in regards to Japan's defense, or being able to station their troops in Okinawa alongside the US military base?
    Also, 80% of Los Alamos scientists voted to demonstrate the bomb in an uninhabited area in lieu of dropping them on civilians in order to fearfully coerce a surrender. Their votes were stored in a jar, locked in the drawer of General Groves' desk. Only to be opened to reveal the voting results after the bombings.

  • @ssotkow
    @ssotkow Před 6 měsíci +1

    11:49 Picasso's works was featured for several reasons: His distorted paintings like the Guernica foreshadowed the ensuing death & destruction of the atomic bombs that fell on Hiroshima & Nagasaki.
    The Spanish artist's fame coincided with scientists gathering at Los Alamos as the Spanish communist/socialists were fighting fascist entities backed by Nazi Germany, in what was known as the Spanish Civil War.
    This was why many pro-Communist Americans at that time, disillusioned in the aftermath of the Great Depression of 1929, were supporting the plight of the Spanish communists/socialist workers in the 30's in face of fascist ruling party.
    One of Picasso's most famous works (Guernica) depicted the violence of war, as the Northern Spanish town of Guernica was actually bombed by Nazi Germany in 1937. In the commissioned propaganda art piece, "a gored horse, a bull, screaming women, a dead baby, a dismembered soldier, and flames" all symbolized the horrors of weapons unleashed onto innocent civilians and their towns
    Furthermore, Oppenheimer's move to Germany from the UK marked his watershed revelatory moment where he found his stride in quantum mechanics. In theoretical quantum physics, reality was viewed from a fresh and distorted perspective, like Picasso's artwork.
