A French critic saw #Oppenheimer this morning and gave me his review:
- OPPENHEIMER is Nolan's most dense film. Lots of dialogue, characters and timelines (like Dunkirk). A second viewing will be essential to understand everything.
- Formally, the film is perfect. Impeccably directed, photographed and edited. But the real highlight is Ludwig Göransson's soundtrack, which brilliantly mixes orchestral and electronic music. It's the best soundtrack of the year and the richest in a Nolan film.
- The film looks like something out of the Golden Age of Hollywood.
- The R-rated classification is completely unjustified, there are no shocking images and It's not a horror film at all.
- The whole cast is perfect, especially Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon, Benny Safdie and Robert Downey Jr.
- The film never gets boring in 3 hours, but the last hour may disappoint some people.
- Watching the film, you get a strong feeling that Nolan was inspired by Lawrence of Arabia, JFK and First Man.
- It's not a masterpiece, there are few flaws. The female characters suffer from a lack of development. Florence Pugh's character, in particular, is not present enough. Overall, the film lacks emotion.

"The reality is life is a single-player game. You’re born alone. You’re going to die alone. All of your interpretations are alone. All your memories are alone. You’re gone in three generations and nobody cares. Before you showed up, nobody cared. It’s all single-player."

"To me, the real winners are the ones who step out of the game entirely, who don’t even play the game, who rise above it. Those are the people who have such internal mental and self-control and self-awareness, they need nothing from anybody else."

I want to call out that all things considered, the way Stripe is doing layoffs set a new bar.
1. Generous severance and more support than most places give.
2. Transparent on WHY this happened and the mistakes leadership made
