Oppenheimer viewer spots historical error

Welcome to another day of both savings and me anxiously looking for a Baldur's Gate III discount that simply doesn't exist. My apologies, friend. I report the bargains; I do not create the bargains. That being said, I honestly believe that some games forged by smaller outfits are so well done — hell, they deserve a full-price purchase. Purely as a "this is how you ought to be doing things" reminder to the bigger publishers.

Christopher Nolan loves the big screen. Oppenheimeris proving, once again, that it loves him right back. But long before anyone had actually seen Nolan’s fantastic biopic, the director and his fans alike were talking about its biggest (literally) selling point: IMAX 70mm film projection.

A terrible thing about the modern era of television isn’t just the sheer number of great shows that frequently fall through the cracks on services like Netflix, but great shows that are overlooked because people simply don’t know where to find them. Manhattan was one of those shows, a gem of the mid-2010s twilight of TV’s second so-called golden age. It was a time when streaming TV was just getting started and there already seemed to be too many shows, many of them great. Breaking Bad had ended and Mad Men was winding down, people still liked Game of Thrones, and exciting, buzzy shows like Mr. Robot and The Americans were premiering all the time.

Christopher Nolan seemingly included a horrifying detail in Florence Pugh’s Oppenheimer scenes. The actor plays Jean Tatlock in the movie, who was J. Robert Oppenheimer’s (Cillian Murphy) partner before his marriage to Kitty Oppenheimer (Emily Blunt). 

YouTube Shorts, short-version video sharing platform of YouTube, has crossed 2 billion views by logged-in users monthly, the company said in a blogpost on Tuesday.

Christopher Nolan said it himself: Watching his movie Oppenheimerwill basically ruin your life, and might even make you feel like you’re being blown up. If Nolan fans really want that kind of overwhelming experience, they likely want to watch the film in Nolan’s preferred format. His biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the man who spearheaded the development of the atomic bomb, asks the audience to stare the destroyer of worlds right in the face, and Nolan thinks the best way to do that is in 70mm IMAX film — or as some die-hards call it, “true IMAX.”

Of the many details worth returning to in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, one of the most striking comes only after learning how the film was made. In what might be the movie’s most harrowing scene, J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) delivers a victory speech to the assembled scientists of the Manhattan Project after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. While Oppenheimer gives a jingoistic speech to rapturous applause, Nolan depicts the physicist to be in internal anguish, as visions of destruction warp his perception of the event.
