"Nobel invented Dynamit" is a dumb line. Nobel was unhappy with the fact that his invention was being used for wars. That is why he has established the Nonel Prize for inventions that serve the benefit of humanity. Nobel would not have given himself a Nobel Prize.
the first thing i did after leaving the moives was look up it was wild leaving 'the theater
That ending scene is so damn effective. Cillian Murphy portrayed a million emotions with his eyes while doing absolutely nothing. That stare alone should get him an Oscar.
There's always greatness in Murphy's stare... First peaky blinders, and now this
@@phantom2683It helps that he has such piercing blue eyes.
There's another movie where Cillian Murphy portrayed a million emotions with his eyes while doing absolutely nothing. It was called sunshine and it's heavily overlooked.
Too bad the Oscars are left-wing and won't give awards to anything with no blacks in it
@@moddable6921Oppenheimer has been an awards season darling this whole year, what the hell are you talking about??
The use of the feet stamping to represent horror and anxiety is a masterstroke. The scene in the auditorium is *unbelievably* effective at conveying such a complex mixture of negative emotions.
I was overwhelmed by that scene to the point of tears when I saw it for the first time a few days ago. The applause coming back like the sonic boom is one of the best edits I've ever seen in a film.
I also get strong shame in scenes like where's he's naked talking about his cheating, the foot stomps show up but you don't have the context for the sound yet
Nolan Bro detected
@@mik3lang3lo or, just maybe, someone who likes this movie a lot? :D
@@mik3lang3loor maybe it's someone who appreciates the intricate details that make up a masterful movie.
For a 3 hour movie, the edit down on this was really good, guys. Still gives me chills. That sonic boom in the theater, I felt it again just hearing it again here. So good.
I didn't jump when the sound came back during the bomb scene because I expected it, but that crowd boom fucking caught me off guard and made me jump.
IMAX got my ass twice
I knew it was coming and Imax still made me jump anyway.
@@sschicken2333I heard it was fucking incredible in IMAX, sadly there was no IMAX open in Sydney when it released there, but gonna make it up and watch DUNE Part 2 in IMAX when it comes out.
I felt myself not being able to breathe while the bomb was going off. It's such a breathtaking scene.
Never gonna forget how Oppenheimer mentioned Kennedy like they were teasing his own solo movie LMAO 😂
Someone needs to edit the Avengers theme after the Kennedy namedrop. 😁
*JFK will return*
Just a bit of foreshadowing for the Cuban missile crisis.,
also an easter egg for JFK movie by Oliver Stone, as this movie is heavily inspired from it@@Knightowl1980
@@Knightowl1980i feel like a Christopher Nolan cuban missile crisis movie would be pretty entertaining
RDJ went from portraying a charming narcissist who was redeemable to an absolute raging egomaniac who thought that two of the greatest scientific minds on the planet would be making HIM the subject of their conversation when they got together.
and 43:08, can't believe the woman whose flesh was peeling off was actually Nolan's daughter.
To be fair, RDJ's character was a bit more complicated than how he was depicted here. He actually did a lot of good things including helping refugees and starting the atoms for peace initiative.
@@jayburn00 yeah, I agree, but I meant his portrayal in the movie. I had seen snippets of RDJ talking about Strauss and while he makes it clear that he is an antagonist in this story, he always mentions that he is a very complicated man.
the things He does for the cinema! Burned his own daughter! Bravo Vince!
@@jayburn00 On the contrary, I think RDJ did a pretty solid job humanizing Strauss, because the film also underplays just how much Strauss stacked the deck against Oppenheimer in the hearings, including authorizing illegal wiretaps against him and his lawyer and then sharing those wiretaps with Roger Robb.
@@koushikraja331 Well I mean, no one is completely evil or completely good.
But Strauss was clearly an antagonist in Oppenheimer’s life.
Going to be a crime if Ludwig doesn't win Best Score
Legitimately my favorite score of all time. An absolute masterclass.
Killers of the Flower Moon score is better.
he will
@@kassiogomes8498nah
@@kassiogomes8498you forgot to add 'I think' to the beginning of your sentence
1:05:51 Interesting fact: The line about “honeymoon” in Kyoto was actually true and a last minute improvisation by Nolan and the actor. Here’s the full backstory from a Christopher Nolan interview with Insider magazine……
Christopher Nolan has said that the most chilling line in "Oppenheimer" was actually a last-minute addition suggested to him on the day of filming.
While Nolan penned the entire script for the epic three-hour movie alone, he revealed in an interview with The New York Times that there was one small improvised moment from a cast member that was too good to leave out of the final cut.
The Academy Award-nominated director said that James Remar came up with the nauseating moment in which his character, Henry L. Stimson, says that they should strike Kyoto off a list of possible bombing locations in Japan because it's a "beautiful" city where he and his wife honeymooned.
Nolan recalled that Remar "kept talking to me about how he learned that Stimson and his wife had honeymooned in Kyoto" after doing his own research into the then-Secretary of War.
Remar explained to him "that was one of the reasons that Stimson took Kyoto off the list to be bombed," said Nolan.
Nolan had initially written Stimson "crossing the city off the list because of its cultural significance," but the filmmaker told Remar to "just add" the additional line about honeymooning in Kyoto.
Thanks for the summary!
so glad he added it too, its such an eerie thing to say that the people who lived in kyoto only lived because he had a honeymoon there
@@ICanEatWaterit is an eerie line, but I think you’re missing the point. The reason Kyoto was off, like why Tokyo and many others, was because of the importance to Japan. The beautiful-ness was a BTW moment.
It’s a bit off to say it’s because of a honeymoon, I’m sure if a general had a beautiful honeymoon in Hiroshima or any other important military target they’ll still keep it on the list.
"Can you hear the music" is one the most beautiful soundtracks i've heard. I was mind blown in cinema in that scene
Fusion is just as good if not better
I don't know why, but one of my favourite scene in the movie is when Oppenheimer is teaching is first class in Berkley and you see it grow and grow. The concept of literally bringing to life a field of studies to an university is crazy to think about...what would be physics without quantum mechanics today ? Seeing it evolve in your class must be exciting !!
Berkeley* , i know cause I go there lol
same
One of my favorite scene in the entire movie is the very beginning, when he’s just staring at the rain drops in a puddle but it’s showing what he’s thinking about.
@@chrischika7026ok
@@chrischika7026The irony of this comment is palpable... Fix your own grammer before correcting others, and maybe people would think you're educated without you needing to point out that you went to a University.
20:03, "they need us.""until they don't." is also one of my favorite lines in this movie.
They portrayed his PTSD, and his realization of what he has done so fricken well. I actually got emotional. The scene where he sees the repercussions if it was dropped on that room
It was such a visceral experience in theatres. Full credit to Nolan for his vision and execution, and Cillian Murphy for his acting, but Ludwig Goransson was the real MVP of this movie imo. A nonstop soundscape that was basically a character in and of itself
Totally agree. Visceral is a good way to describe it...I would tell people something similar. And you're right, it's the largely the sound design that gives it this quality. The sound effects (and the visuals for that matter) have a "physicality" to them, combined with the music, it's enveloping.
I love the scene where you have Einstein handing Oppenheimer back his notes on the chain reaction saying "This is yours", not only because it's literally his property but because Einstein doesn't want to be involved in this sort of project.
Man, if anyone doubted that Ludwig Göransson was one of the best, if not the best composer of recent years, then I think this movie is a perfect cherry on the cake, what a Monster, he has in his work: Mandalorian, Boba Fett, Black Panther, Tenet, Creed and Oppenheimer, the Goat
And lest we forget, his greatest and most notable work, all 110 episodes of Community
@@swiftlymurmursthank you
I noticed him first in Black Panther. He does deserve a pedestal in the world of film production like Hans Zimmer
The GOAT seems like a stretch. Although ludwigs been incredible, Zimmer still takes the cake in my book
I love "the goat" movie, didn't know he was the composer of that
I thought you might be interested to know that, in December, 2022, the US Secretary of Energy nullified the decision of the security hearing and posthumously reinstated Oppenheimer's security clearance. I know it doesn't do much good now that Oppenheimer's been dead for 56 years, but at least justice was finally served.
That's such a shame. They tried to dent his legacy and he died knowing that they succeeded in doing so only to finally get justice in a time when it doesn't even matter
@@MyMainMan90 I think it does still matter. I mean, Oppenheimer isn't alive to appreciate the victory, but future generations will know that he was vindicated.
Also, in the long run, I'd say the security hearings were more detrimental to those who arranged it. Strauss was denied the cabinet appointment, and Borden's career and reputation suffered as a result of his role in Oppenheimer's downfall.
@@ZukoHalliwell Also, they all got nothing and now Oppy has his clearance back in spirit. And it's not like they're going to debate a dead man when they're likely dead too. So all that effort was for nothing.
It may not necessarily be a clean victory for Oppy, but it's removing the victory from Strauss and making him into an example, that's for sure.
-🖊️
So in other words, it was for us, and not for him.
@@Jabberwocky415 I guess so.
Took my Dad to Oppenheimer in IMAX. He’s always trying to find something in modern movies to be critical of, possibly because he’s aware it can get on my nerves. After this one, he was genuinely impressed and said he had “no notes”.
I then took my Mom to Barbie in the theater. She laughed throughout and cried at the end.
I’m glad I got to participate in “Barbenheimer” at the theater. They were both outstanding for very different reasons and I wish both of these movies great luck during awards season.
If I had to pick one to win Best Picture out of the two, I’d give the edge to Oppenheimer, simply for making a 3 hour biopic which is mostly just people in rooms talking, a thrilling and thought provoking film.
Watching this in Imax was incredible. Never felt so anxious with the lead up to the trinity explosion. The music and acting were testimony to that.
music was way to loud, same for the feet stomping
This is Christopher Nolan’s magnum opus and it’s 100% my film of the year for 2023. This is why cinema exists.
Cillian absolutely killed this movie, he could say so much without any words, with just his eyes. Also the soundtrack is phenomenal, my two favorite parts of the movie.
One thing I love about this movie is the buildup to the bomb's detonation, even though we all know it goes off successfully everyone is leaning forward intense looks on their faces. That is how a movie can just suck you right in. Great reaction!
The way the Trinity sequence was made was fantastic
The buildup was perfectly done, but i have to say that i felt a bit disappointed in the explosion itself. It doesn't take away anything from the film, i just wished for a more "shock and awe" imagery while i was in the IMAX seat.
@Zedd0z I'm sure if Nolan could've he would've detonated a real bomb for the movie 😂 all in all tho, for a practical effect I think it looked pretty good
@@system0fadowner251 That is the issue in my opinion, he used a real and practical explosion, so it looked more like a big fireball rather than a nuclear bomb.
@@Zedd0z A nuclear bomb literally *is* a big fireball
I’m dying at Calvin’s disappointment when Aaron heard Heisenberg and said we gonna cook meth.
A low grumble “nooo”
Me while watching every reaction video on youtube.
The almost zero chance of setting the atmosphere on fire was based solely on the very first ever ignition of that kind. Once it was proven that it wouldn't happen, it then became zero. It wasnt a per explosion kind of thing
yea, no one thought otherwise
@@Totecc They literally discuss it at the end of the video bozo
@@jp1170 why are you mad? Im saying that, no duh, it was the initial one. In terms of the conversación with oppenheimer and einstein, he believes it as a chain reaction, pandoras box open.
Calm down, you have no enemies.
@@Totecc Then why comment in the first place? I was answering their post reaction question on the topic of atmospheric ignition. I gave them the information they were debating and the answer they were looking for so I dont know what you’re on about.
@@jp1170 shhh
Oppenheimer is one of those rare movies where in the end, you can do nothing more than stare at the credits in stunned silence.
Calvin, the Tsar Bomba WAS an H-bomb (AKA thermonuclear bomb). They can be scaled practically infinitely to make bigger explosions. Any nuclear armed country could make one bigger.
Theoretically yes but practically no 😂imagine trying to drop a bomb the size of a house. At that point you gotta deliver it by boat lmao
@@Jack7. I mean yeah, obviously at some point it gets impractical, both in delivery and in the size of the explosion.
How many conutries have nukes
@@Mihawk-Hawk-eye too many...
@@Jack7.they’d make a bigger plane. With how much spending is given to militaries, they could make one that big if they wanted
This movie did a great job in encapsulating this one part of WW2: the moral quandary. Most war movies are just suffering but you can identify and/or root for a side no matter which perspective is being shown, on both sides. But to see scientists, who never picked up a rifle, never rushed into battle, never had to be face to face with the enemy, feel the immense guilt over the devastation they have wrought was gripping.
Saw this on the biggest IMAX screen in Florida. Absolutely worth it. The sound and scale was incredible.
within the first 5 minutes of this, I knew I was watching something special. what a great film. probably Christopher Nolan's best work to date
This movie was epic. I saw it twice in theaters, and halfway through for a third time currently at home on 4K. Oppenheimer isn’t just a film, this is an experience to go through how one man and his group made a device so deadly, it can destroy anything.
That last scene was so good!
The way Killian Murphy’s face looked was perfect and the way he said “I think we did” is haunting! Idk the right word for it but it was great, sad, and scary!
It's great thing, when a movie about real events is so engaging that makes you want to learn more about the events. When I came from the movie theatre I immediately started googling and reading articles about strauss and others, trying to find out if the movie got everything right:)
31:11 - I noticed in Jean’s death scene that in one shot she is being held under the water by someone, as a hand with a black glove emerges from the water, indicating that she was murdered. It’s hard to see, as I missed it at first. Brilliantly filmed to keep you questioning
I don’t think they are saying she was murdered. I feel like the scenes of her getting murdered and committing was from the perspective of Oppenheimer. We are seeing what he imagines in his mind. This is supported by the choice to show her doing it herself AND someone murdering her. Because there was a different unknown chemical in her bloodstream Oppenheimer felt that murder could have happened, which would have been indirectly caused by his presence in her life. Or she just committed which is just as bad. Either way he had. Panic attack about it and those images of her were probably racing through his mind.
Also from reading the book the movie was based off of, It was made clear that Jean's cause of actual death was never confirmed or determined. She very well could have un-alived herself just as much as she was murdered as she was too close to Robert as a communist. And as you mentioned the uncertainty probably always ate away at Robert's conscious as well. @@Jack7.
@@Jack7. That's also my interpretation. Plus: it may also be that Oppenheimer is imagining the gloved hands to be his own, he feels that he is responsible for her death.
@@Jack7.I don’t think her being murdered was from Robert’s thoughts. From all evidence given, he never supported the idea that she was murdered.
They showed her dying as suicide and murder because Oppenheimer isn't sure what happened.
I unfortunately waited to watch Oppenheimer at home, but man what a movie, I've watched three times by now, and even in this reaction, the trinity scene still hooked me, it's one of those movies that stuck with me, the craft involved in making it, all departments are firing all cylinders. Oppenheimer is now my favorite Nolan movie, and favorite movie of the year probably.
Where to watch it i only saw it at cinema
The blu-ray is out, that's the right way to watch it, as I do not support piracy such as Stremio, 1377x or YIFI@@samson6801
The absolute scale of the sound in the theater made EVERYONE jump- even though I was expecting a sound boom coming in post that explosion as a second wave- JUMPED in my chair.
Those final lines are so chilling.
"I believe we did."
And the threat of nuclear war still looms over us all.
Eric looks like he's going to flash someone at the parking lot. 😂
Rude! 😂
@@ketchup016 😂
The apple incident did indeed happen yet it played out extremely differently. so he did poison the teacher’s apple but it wasn’t something deathly and would’ve just made the teacher sick
This movie was a must see in cinemas.
Best movie that came last year by far.
Just saw it today in IMAX and man that was a movie
19:18 Everybody always assumes that. Which I think Ludwig Goransson should take as a huge compliment because the score is excellent. If it doesn't win best original score @ the Oscars there is something wrong.
I like how Chris, instead of trying to get the audience to remember characters and faces, he cast famous actors so that you could easily attach names to faces making the story hundreds of times easier to follow.
Also the way he focuses on certain mysteries and goals throughout I thought was amazing at keeping me attentive and engaged
Thank you for highlighting Kitty’s testimony, that scene is my favorite. I get excited and hype because of that scene 😆
I fully admit that I don't know the whole history of this that well, and I don't really understand the science behind the atomic bomb. But the movie did a relatively good job of dumbing it down for us laymen. From my perspective, as a physicist's daughter, it really resonated with me that despite the fact that it was classified, EVERYONE in the scientific academic community knew that there was a race to develop atomic weaponry. To the people who understood the science and the new breakthroughs, it was obvious. (13:10 "Every physicist around the world [is thinking] a bomb." 15:24 "They won't even let me tell you what the project is." "Oh, I know what the project is.") To the general public, not so much. That reminds me of things my dad has told me over the years that there is no proof, that to my non-scientific stupid brain sounds like far-fetched conspiracy theory, but to him is exceedingly obvious.
A not-so-serious example: we were watching a countdown list of greatest cinema twists ever, and on that list was "Planet of the Apes." My dad thought it was the dumbest movie ever because the twist was so obvious. "He wasn't in space long enough to reach anywhere that WASN'T Earth!" But plenty of people didn't understand that, which is why it was considered such a great cinematic twist. So, yeah, when you're talking about the greatest minds who can comprehend the latest seriously complicated scientific advancements, they are able to deduce what is happening. Einstein wasn't involved in the Manhattan Project, and I have no idea if Oppenheimer consulted him as he did in this movie, but you can bet he absolutely knew it was happening.
Einstein was involved in the Manhattan project before it was named that. But bowed out because he could foresee the proliferation of nuclear arms.
The Atomic Bomb works by using Nuclear Fission- a process in which a nucleus of a Uranium atom is cut in half. The energy released is very high. We are currently working, in modern times today, on Nuclear Fusion... smashing hydrogen at such large speeds that we can gain energy (that is how the sun burns its fuel); of course the problem is that the sun has millions of times the gravity and pressure and the energy it would take to fuse particles here on Earth would cost more money than the energy released is worth.
Well, Nolan simplified the story. First of all the first man to understand what could happened was Leo Szilard an Hungarian physicist. He discovered the chain reaction in 1932, patented it and handed it over to the British Admiralty for secret. Anyway the fission of the atom was discovered only 7 years later. After that Szilard contacted Einstein and together they wrote to the US president to convince him to create a program to make an atomic bomb and at the same time acted to ensure that the Belgian king did not sell uranium to the Germans, the Belgian Congo had the biggest uranium mines at that time.
Anyway the Nazis probably never thought that an Atomic bomb was possible, the work on the chain reaction by Szilard was classified, so the Nazis didn't know it. All what the Nazis did was trying to build a reactor. And Heisenberg clearly told Bohr that the Nazis would never have built the bomb. It is not known why, probably linguistic misunderstandings since they couldn't speak openly, but Bohr understood the exact opposite. Heisenberg gave to Bohr the documents of design of a nuclear reactor. And Bohr believed it was the design of a bomb. In the movie there is a scene where Bohr show a paper to the Manhattan project scientists and they started to laugh, saying that is a reactor. That scene refers to this episode.
So, in few words, the Manhattan project scientists won a race in which they were the only ones to participate.
Since 1943/1944 the Allies started to bomb German civilians, with no real military purpose other than to demoralize them (All those bombings were violations of the Hague Convention, essentially war crimes and so were Hiroshima and Nagasaki).
In february 1945 the Allies bombed Dresden a city with no militar installation, around 1500 planes dropped 3k tons of bombs on a city with only civilians, many of them war refugees who took refuge in a city of art without military installations to stay safe.
Allies did it in two raids waiting 3 hours between raids. The three hours were used to convince the population that the bombing was over, so they would get out of the bunkers and die better. After 3 hours thousands of tons of incendiary bombs were dropped on the city, tens of thousands of civilians died, many of them totally burned by the bombs.
The atomic bomb fitted perfectly into that idea of war. This - I believe - is the real reason why the American government invested so much in nuclear weapons, knowing that there was no competition against the Nazis: trying to kill as many civilians as possible in one blow.
And that's how they used it, they chose Hiroshima for 2 reasons:
1. it was one of the few cities that had not already been destroyed by bombing (in Tokyo the allies bombings killed more people than in Hiroshima), Hiroshima was spared precisely in anticipation of using the atomic bomb.
2. it had almost only wooden buildings; one of the few concrete buildings of the city is today the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, it was just below the epicenter but it wasn't totally destroy as what happened to the rest of the city.
I dont know why Im surprised. I should've known that Barbie and Oppenheimer were gonna be back to back weekly movie reactions😂😂😂😂😂
I just felt so overwhelmed with emotion when they were discussing which city to bomb, especially when Kyoto was mentioned. The very idea of Kyoto, such an important historical city, being the target instead of Hiroshima is horrifying. The cities that were affected have left an impression on history already, even if they weren't as "important" or "beautiful". I can't even begin to imagine how history would have been shaped if it was Kyoto.
I don't know how it was discussed historically but the callous way those men in that small room were discussing the mass genocide of an entire city really got to me.
Absolutely agree. As too why they were very callous about it, I feel like it has too do with the fact they it's something that has too get done period. They cannot show any compassion because at the end of the day if they don't do it, someone else will. They just want too get it over with.
invading japan would have killed hundreds of thousands of americans and millions of japanese at least from the information they had at hand just look at okinawa and scale that up more than 10 times
''theyre gonna go to a room and wiggle''
lmao im using that
Oppenheimer is easily the best movie so far of the decade, maybe my favourite ever. Such an awe-inspiring feat. 10/10 writing, acting, visuals, editing, score, everything.
The best experience I’ve ever had in a cinema. This on IMAX was not just a movies but an experience truly amazing
this is the best movie of the year by far and perhaps the best new film i’ve seen in years, it floored me and left me speechless, forcing me to watch it twice in the theaters, which I never do! WE SHALL NEVER SEE CHRIS NOLAN’s like again! so glad they react to it!
One of my favourite movie endings ever. I was SHOOK, couldn't stop thinking about it for days, maybe weeks. The Score is incredible too.
The best way to describe this movie is that I was entranced for 3 hours. I watched it with a friend who had seen it before at his house and normally we comment a lot: I said maybe 3-4 sentences during the 3 hours and he just let me experience it.
Caset Affleck was so intimidating
54:10 Speaking of that name-drop, another epic historical drama w/ a stacked cast and masterful editing is Oliver Stone's JFK (1991) starring Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Oldman, Joe Pesci, Donald Sutherland, John Candy, Kevin Bacon, Michael Rooker, Vincent D'Onofrio, Jack Lemmon, etc...
JFK is a great movie. SHit history, but great filmmaking.
I loved this movie. I saw it on opening day with a packed IMAX theater in 98 degree heat. So hot outside and hot inside but no one…no one, moved for 3 hours. Riveting film. Just riveting
“I believe we did.”
In that moment we finally understood his despair and regret
This is the only movie I've watched multiple times in IMAX. Watched it 4 times and I can't get enough of it. Captivating and beautiful.
Seeing a movie hit perfection on all levels was incredible.
Seeing it in IMAX was beyond words.
I sat there along with the whole theater in stunned silence when it ended.
People tend to hurry out of a movie when it ends, but this is one of a handful where it took a minute or two....
Had to experience it 2 more times in IMAX to fully realize what I saw....
Post credits scene:
«Oppenheimer will return in Godzilla -1.0»
As much as I appreciate the reaction, this was a must see in theaters, that was the best way to watch this movie
Man I wish Rick was here, his opinion on movies is so different to the others. I would have liked to see it.
he's also the only educated one it seems. Sadly stuck with the insufferable know it all Calvin. a true tragedy
@tygerjohnston7019 to be fair it can be hard to contain yourself when you think you know something cool and want to share it.
I drove almost 6 hours to see this movie in 70mm IMAX and it was 100% worth it. The theatrical experience was something of a miracle almost. Absolutely amazing
Another brilliant detail in my opinion are the droplets of water we see throughout the film. The first scene depicts Oppenheimer staring into a puddle, watching the ripples expand. If we pay attention, we see the droplets of water in multiple important moments throughout. They appear on the map of Moscow, when they're discussing the H-bomb. We see them falling into the bath next to Jean - Robert feels he's responsible for her death. Then finally, we see them in the final scene by the lake; Oppenheimer watches the ripples expand, mirrorring the expanding Nuclear explosions all over the world in the next shot. It's a film about consequences of actions; Oppenheimer being the droplet of water - action - the ripples being the consequences.
This is going to be the most important movie of this decade, maybe even century.
That intro was priceless... Thx for bringing me joy every Single day.
I ended up watching this in theatres twice, in the span of about a week. First in IMAX, which was an experience, then second in a normal theatre and was amazing.
Gotta say.. appreciate y’all sacrificing your first watch in a theater to be able to record your reaction for us!
This movie left me with a feeling i wasn't familiar with until I had a peculiar dream.
In this dream, I was in an apocalyptic scenario that ended with a thermonuclear warhead detonating a few miles away.
Me and a massive crowd of people saw it happen and we all just . . . sat down and watched the shockwave approach, talking to and supporting each other.
The feeling this movie gave me was the feeling of facing death and knowing nothing can be done.
There is no sadness.
There is no fear.
Just a strange, horrible, melancholy peace.
I am so glad I saw this in theaters; it is one of the best movies I have ever watched.
Definitely need to react to Killers of the Flower Moon next. One of the best movies of the year as well. So many from 2023 that are reaction worthy in my opinion. Now that I look back, it was surprisingly a great year for movies apart from all the superhero fatigue except for Across the Superverse.
I'd argue Killers Of The Flower Moon is potentially better than Oppenheimer. Both amazing
The scene in the auditorium with everyone cheering and then showing what the effects of the bomb would be where people's skins are melting, they turn to dust, etc. is 1 of the most visceral and emotional scenes I've ever seen in a movie. It was both horrifying and insanely depressing at the same time, contrasted with the American people cheering, celebrating, stomping their feet. Christopher Nolan has continued to prove himself as 1 of, if not THE best filmmaker of all time
"i believe we did" will sit with me for the rest of my life. Absolute perfection 🔥
Seeing Oppenheimer's fears become a reality was haunting and heartbreaking. I wasn't expecting this film to leave me with such an emotional reaction and yet it did. The final scene had me in tears and in fear.
Oppenheimer's story is like nothing else. He knew what he was creating, but he embraced it because nothing stops progress.
Main thing missing from the wrap up review was taking a moment to discuss how incredible Cillian Murphy’s performance was. The range of emotions he was able to portray with just his eyes was amazing
The scene where he gives his speech to the staff after the bombings and they show was happens during a nuclear bombing while the crowd was cheering him on???? Nolan is brilliant. I started crying when it went completely silent and suddenly you heard a child screaming.
I saw this opening weekend on one of our biggest screens here in Ireland. And the moment of the Trinity countdown and blast the room was tense and the silence was just amazing. The ending gave me a tear for how amazing it was. And that final score! WOW.
The build up to the Bomb going off in the cinema was incredible, i can only describe the atmosphere in the room as electric. You could feel the expectation of the audience climb.
watching this movie on theater on imax was a life changing experience
There is an after-credits scene.
You're living in it.
Out of all the reactions to this masterpiece of a movie, this one is hands down the best edit I have come across. You captured all the best moments good job!
Finally a react channel to just witness that final scene in silence. Everyone talking over it, but when I watched it I could barely breathe lmao
Eric’s comment on why aliens have contacted us: “Have you seen what these people are doing with atomic energy”.
1951 film The Day The Earth Stood Still (one of the great sci-fi movies) addresses that question.
The guy beside RDJ at 45:11 is Scott Grimes he played T Sgt. Malarkey in Band of Brothers. He was also in the first two Critters films lol.
god i remember seeing the can you hear the music scene for the first time i knew these 3 hours were gonna fly by its my favorite scene in the movie
Just 2 things after watching this:
1. I still start crying at that incredible last scene of the movie with those words and that look from Murphy.
2. I'm immensely grateful Nolan never used and will use CGI. Pretty sure "going that easy way" would never has been as impactful as the pure art of visualization we got to witness here.
Nolan does use CGI of course, but only when something is impossible without it, i guess.
I highly doubt he filmed real black hole for Interstellar, etc. 😅
I just noticed that their voices are panned opposite to how they are positioned 🤭 Eric's voice comes from my right ear and Aaron my left! Also this was one hell of a movie to see in theaters, though I found myself wishing I had brought my concert earplugs because the audio was mixed sooooo loud.
Best movie of 2023.
42:45 probably the single most unsettling moment of the movie for me, the sound design in that entire sequence is phenomenal.
after credits scene for oppenheimer 2? youre living in it buddy
40:00
I think the guy that honeymooned in Kyoto was actually true. There's a small clock tower in or around Kyoto dedicated to him for taking Kyoto off the list to be bombed or because of his relationship he had with that city. Something like that, please don't quote me on it!
Clear what the sequel to Oppenheimer is, Godzilla Minus One
No kidding
I saw this with my 80+ year old Dad in a 4D theater, we were hanging on with every word, best film I’ve seen in years, better the second time
It hasn't ended all war, but so far it's deterred nuclear war.
Yeah and made us not try even bigger bombs in wars
It has an almost 80-year track record of preventing an actual world war though.
18:12 Mark! Fans of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" should recognize Heisenburg's surname in association with the principles that help explain how the "Transporter Beam System" functions! 🖖 Edit: The device is called a "Heisenburg Compensater"!
Its been a while since I've seen Blind Wave. This should be good. Best reactions on CZcams.
Possibly one of the best movies I've ever seen. Not necessarily my favorite but in terms of quality, holy hell is it great.
Exactly my thoughts!
Seeing the Trinity test on the big screen was easily one of the best cinematic experiences of my life.
Here after the 13 Oscar Nominations Announced...
I noticed this in your full length, but the "spy" Fuchs, was always the one watching everything a little longer than everyone else. Kind of a fun little detail.
@rwtpunches
Your perspective is so ideal. Patiently waiting for their comments. I totally agree. Respect.
