The biopic of Oppenheimer, the inventor of atomic bomb, is depicted in a weird fashion. The movie starts from his early career days at university and follows his transfer to the Manhattan Project. The movie is too long and made bitty with a non-linear narrative which I found completely unnecessary. The viewer is usually distracted with scenes from the future showing his trial against some people. Those distractions are too long and very annoying. There are too many characters and they are all underdeveloped. I didn't understand what the point is in deliberately confusing the viewer.
Also it is not possible to understand the viewpoint of the filmmakers. Are they heroizing or disparaging Oppenheimer for developing an atomic bomb? I think they are undecided and this is why they created such a mess. Last but not least, trying to depict Oppenheimer as having a bad conscience is utterly ridiculous.
