Review of Oppenheimer

Oppenheimer (I) (2023)
8/10
Interesting but has some issues
9 November 2023
A study of male nihilism showing all facets of war and destruction and the careless ways men think. Theory vs. Real life, all warring with each other in a bubble where women are outside looking in. However, I didn't see the need for the naked sex scenes. She was a real person who wasn't all glam or anything, and it seemed the wrong texture for the rest of the movie. Pretty sick of women being the sexy texture. She could have been in a sheet or gown and then maybe I would have been able to concentrate on the scene itself. Emily Blunt is nicely sour. I liked the CGI faces they gave her. But the Florence Pugh sex scenes and the music felt wrong. Nolan should persuade Hans Zimmer back to do his soundtracks. The films don't feel right without him, and the music overwhelms the scenes, and just feels like fake Zimmer unfortunately. And come on, stop hiring Branagh. Someone somewhere has to realise he can't act... But the cameo from Rami Malik and Cillian Murphy doing serious Robin Williams voice were worth the watch for sure.
