We will all be birds, we will all be naked, all brave, and we'll jump out of our bodies, and the world will all be dream, and dream will be all of the world
@turrible_tao Nolan sez American Prometheus is the main source, but AP frames every life event with a coda of ‘and this is why it was unfair to criticize him at the security hearing decades later for this’. The movie is not what you’d make from a naive book read so I think he gets what he did
@turrible_tao if the guy who claims to switch political convictions right when he gets a job offer, cheats on his wife at least twice, and sells his brother out doesn’t strike the audience as a freak, I don’t think it’s Nolan’s fault. Especially with RDJ monologuing it
@turrible_tao I thought it was a quite effective portrayal of Oppenheimer sleepwalking through life off of brains and charm, letting everyone else pay the bill (until his own defenestration)
