Yep, unfortunately no pause button at IMAX.Want to see this, but damn...I can't go and not get popcorn and the obligatory 55 gallon drum of Coke with it, and 3+ hours is really pushing the time limit on a pee break.
Completely agree. The way Murphy portrays how much the weight of the world is on him was masterful.Saw it last night. Absolutely incredible. There is like an hour stretch in the middle of the movie where I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Beginning 45 mins or so kind of drag giving the whole backstory and introducing the characters. But after that, it is great. Definitely recommend it and wouldn't be scared off by the 3 hour length. Doesn't really seem that long. Would be criminal if Cillian Murphy doesn't win the Oscar for best actor.
Did the world blow up?The scene where they test the bomb was intense. And it’s really not a spoiler to say what happened
Math is hard.Saw it in the 68th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, August 8, 2023.
I thought the raining, and Oppenheimer’s correct prediction of it’s end early in the morning was one more piece of a quiet running theme: Oppy wasn’t just a Wealthy Liberal Northeast Establishmentarian Jewish Intellect, but rather he was a Wealthy Liberal Northeast Establishment Jewish Intellect and honest to God Cowboy.(And this isn’t a spoiler because the raining has nothing to do with anything)
Bruno Kirby wasn't JewishThe fact the Oppy knew New Mexico’s weather because he owned a ranch there, and was the only one from amongst dozens of Goy surrounding him, stands in stark contrast to those silly “Jews on Horseback” movies Billy Crystal gave us in the 1990’s.
True, but his character in City Slickers was Italian American, another sub-set of (generally) urban Americans hardly known for meteorological expertise in the South West.Bruno Kirby wasn't Jewish

I thought it was excellent. There was a lot of dialogue, frequently a tad quiet and fast. Absent historical knowledge some things could easily be missed, like the brief introductory encounter of Oppenheimer and Strauss . . . when Strauss defends his Jewishness (but intentionally mispronounces his own name in a “southern-style.”).
I thought the movie did a good job showing the moral and human conundrum understandably felt by many in the Atomic bombing: it essentially had to be done, and Oppenheimer and others felt justifiable pride in achieving it, but they also felt the moral weight of its destructiveness.
There are alternate views, but I’ve read the transcripts of the Imperial meetings before the first bomb, between the two, and after the second bomb fell.Alternate views:
