Shadowman311After having watched Oppenheimer I concur with Dharma King's review of the film, its pheonomenal if you can stomach the few early comments about camps and antisemitism, and if you can put aside the fact that Oppenheimer did donate funds to the Spanish Communists. Beyond those relatively minor narrative choices and historical factoids, it is a very good film.
That being said, this trailer was false advertising, at no point in this film did Oppenheimer say the words "my le bomb, it le killed people"
@Remi@Shadowman311@Marakus My identity as a German American comes from family. Cold War show. I can't explain this to a millennial or Gen Z. We were barely in America and didn't know where to fit in yet we were White!
@UnityOstara@Remi@Shadowman311@Marakus my identity as an america comes from the fact that we had no fucking idea where we came from for ages, now i know i'm mostly uk with german, and i'm like "so, american then.."
The Nazi atomic program headed by Werner Heisenberg was sabotaged by its own scientists who were horrified at the very idea of such a weapon even existing. When news hit that the Jews had successfully used one, British jail guards reported them weeping. When Heisenberg returned to life in Germany, he was completely ostracized for his role in working on his own bomb, even by his Jewish friends.
Germany also invented Sarin gas in 1938, and immediately banned its use.
I'm just not interested in a movie attempting to rehabilitate a mass murdering Jew.
@Marakus It's a movie about guilt and remorse, and it does nothing to cheapen what happened in Japan, It's singularly about a man coming to terms with the true horror of what he did. Your view is a bit of an oversimplification and would require them to demean the Japanese in some way, aside from the distance of the setting from Japan, they did not do that.
@Zealist@UnityOstara@Shadowman311@Marakus I had no idea what I even was until I was in my 20's. Family totally threw it away. Never talked about it. Never upheld any traditions. I never even questioned it, I just thought of myself as American. I actually thought I was Mexican because of my last name, until my dad casually mentioned with mild annoyance that the reason I look white is because the grandparents came from Spain.
@Remi@UnityOstara@Shadowman311@Marakus my mom's been like 'we're irish' since long as i can remember hten i take a dna ancestry test that's like '0 irish' and i'm like "oh yea?"
