Hope you enjoy the next video in my Road To Oppenheimer series. I've got plenty more coming in the buildup to July including more essays that look back at some of Nolan's previous films. Just to let you know, tickets do also go on sale for Oppenheimer tomorrow, so I will be keeping you up to date on anything that Universal drop whether it be a poster or new marketing.
just saw the film. good lord, it was intense. everyone involved knew what they had to accomplish with this and brought it! the complexity of oppenheimer’s thoughts on his own invention were expressed beautifully by cillian murphy
Not only that, but the parallels with AI and the threat to our civilization there makes this film relevant beyond just the direct relation to nukes. Great video, keep 'em coming!

well with the USN rearming with tactical nuclear cruise missiles id say that the new arms race between the US and china, nukes are still a very large looming threat
@@joshmargolis1424 No, movies have been poorly written and the characters lack character development and realism. Everyone is focused on the politicization of entertainment, which is cancerous.
That was cold war era. Th statement meant for our generation/era. If you live during that time then you are excused with your comment. Aorry bad english not my language.
I think it's a 93 on Rotten Tomatoes, with an audience score close to that. I give it like a 95. This film actually got me to create a Rotten Tomatoes account. It also solidified Nolan in my Top-5 filmmakers, along with Tarantino, Scorsese, Kubrick, and... Idk, I'm leaving that spot open.
Speaking only for myself I’m looking forward toward seeing this film more than any I can remember. The book revealed to me more than I had known previously about the tensions of that time and the ruthlessness of the Generals involved. Today we have a third country on the cusp of joining the distrust among nuclear nations-Iran. A total mystery to us about their psychology and place among world powers.
Thank you for the breakdown of some of Nolan's movies and how they relate to the present day world events when they were released. Love the simplicity and thoroughness of this commentary. The road to Oppenheimer continues..🔥
I care! Oppenheimer is a great name, if I had a cat I think I would call it Feynman or Bohr. Some years ago we were adopted by a stray cat who just arrived and wouldn't leave, because we couldn't shake him off we called him Virus.
I can really tell that we really are stuck in our own asses by the way he said "at a time when the threat of nuclear annhilation has never been greater" but at one point in the cold war we were less than 5 minutes from actually dropping the nukes so even though its kinda spicy right now id say it has been greater at atleast 1 point
It's been over 60 years now since the last escalation. Majority of the people alive right now either weren't that affected by it or don't remember it that well because they were kids back then or weren't born during that period. The current condition is the highest escalation since over half a century so the statement isn't wrong.
@CryoFreezr it is completely wrong highest escalation in half a century and highest escalation ever are not the same thing there's a big difference between oh the scary looking old men are saying maybe we'll use nukes and the whole world having their keys in the launchers waiting for no go codes
“The fears for nuclear annihilation have never been higher…” maybe forYOUR generation but we did bomb drills in elementary school for nuclear attacks the way they do active shooter drills today. Yeah not knowing history stopped me on the video and the like.
The parallelisms of this movie to current global events are striking and have convinced me that Nolan is beyond genius. Not only he is a masterful film maker but he has the pulse of our times as if he was someone who travels trough time like many of the characters in his movies do. Oppenheimer is put on trial because the caprice of a vindictive politician drowning on self grandiosity something happening today. At the same time Oppenheimer refuses to give in and is trying to speak his mind as he is on trial and being censored and called a communist for just trying to have an open dialogue within the global scientific community about the chain reaction that the bomb had just began and the arms race he can foresee. In an interview dated 1965 Oppenheimer talks about the break between the communications among the scientific communities of the US and the then Soviet Union. The same is happening right now between the scientific communities of the US, Russia and China. Funny when Strauss is asked who were the 3 senators to vote against him only one name is given, "Kennedy", and is described as an emerging politician, does it ring a bell with what has been going on July 20th of 2023? The chain reaction unleashed by the atomic bomb is an analogy for many things that have come to be and will be. An unstoppable global arms race. AI etc.
Just one correction. The Japanese had offered to surrender but not unconditionally which were unacceptable terms and then the bombs were dropped to forced the Japanese to surrender unconditionally. As an addendum many Japanese were happy with bombs dropping and ultimately forcing the surrender because otherwise people were preparing to find to the last man, woman and child. The reason the Japanese were so fearful of surrender is because they believed they would be treated how they treated other peoples who surrendered IE the Rape of Nanjing. When that all didn't happen and the reforms made favorable particularly to women tensions cooled and relations got better to where we are today.
@@veronicamaine3813 Well I define happy as not dying for a lost cause on the assumption that you were going to be subjugated like you yourself have subjugated others.
@@khankorpofficial As a lot of these things are it is kind of more complicated than that. Had Japan not surrendered when they did and a Japan invasion was going to take place Russia would have gotten into the war and there would have been a split up Japan just like Germany. There would have been a North and South Japan just like Korea. This is of course not to mention all the deaths that would have taken place.
I always felt that the movie will echo our fears of AI. Both are new technologies that people can't comprehend their power and implications on society. There's also lots of talk on who will make the first AGI (artificial general intelligence), whether it's the US or the other superpower, but this time it's China.
I haven’t even thought about this and it is a great connection. But there is also a lot of geopolitical tension between countries with nukes over the past few years.
It’s interesting that some of the greatest movies are being created by directors who are Hollywood outsiders. Nolan is an Aussie, Villeneuve and Cameron are Canadians. The nepotism and insider deals that characterize the the Hollywood ecology have turned movie making into derivative bean counter exercises that rarely bring creative freshness or innovation.
We dropped the bombs to shorten the war and save an estimated 1 million American lives by not having to invade the Japanese homeland, not to stop the war from escalating and your suggestion that Japan was ready to surrender before we took our actions is an inflammatory lie. They had trained every man woman and child how to fight and had an ultra strong code to never surrender. Do your research, geez!
It's not about right time... A work of art is timeless when has a lot of to say, when is speaking truth that is not pleasant for everyone... When criticize the state of mind of certain people, society, various ideologies ...
I would recommenf seeing More than just one film on the subject. "The Beginning or the End" 1947 B&W a highly fictionozed account on the 1st "Little Boy" development and use after all it was just 2years after the fact and most details were still Top Secret. "Above and Beyond" 1952 B&W more focused on Col. Paul Tinnets who flew the Enola Gay on the first mission to Hiroshima. "Fat Man and Little Boy" 1989 starring Paul Newman, Dwight Schultz and John Cusack which focuses on Gen. Groves and Oppenheimer at Los Alamos and the Trinity test. It's not good to base All your perceptions on One film alone.
I am a little over 700 pages into "American Prometheus." It is a great book and I am looking forward to the movie. One thing that I am a little tired of reading and hearing though is how the Japanese were "ready to surrender" at the end of WWII, making the dropping of the two A bombs unnecessary. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Japanese government was not ready to surrender. In fact they were mobilizing their entire population for a bloody battle to the death with the American invaders. Our choice was to vaporize 50,000 people or kill through close combat or starvation (if we decided to blockade the Japanese islands) several million people.
not sure where you go your data but the Six were debating how to surrender for 6 weeks prior to Hiroshima. While there were elements who wanted to fight to the last man the threat of the Soviet invasion was forcing them to make peace with the allies to avoid a communist take over. The bombs were un-necessary. And as far as Nagasaki goes, that was done without Truman’s knowledge and was just the generals looking for another a target to use the new weapon on ( and it was a poor target in many respects). So no, your choosing to believe a narrative that is patently untrue.
@@veronicamaine3813 My sources are about half a dozen history books that I have read over the past years. They come from a variety of authors from diverse backgrounds and political points of view. You are not incorrect in your statement that there was a faction of the Japanese government that was putting out peace feelers through various channels, the Soviet Union among them. You are also correct when you state that the Japanese government as very concerned that the Soviet Union would enter the war and therefore want a piece of defeated Japan. The major bone of contention was over "unconditional surrender." A term the Japanese were unwilling to accept until after the bombs were dropped. The "elements" that you mention that wanted to fight to the death was actually a significant portion of the ruling council. They are the ones who tried to overthrow the Emperor when he decided to accept surrender after the bombs were dropped. Anyway, non of us can know for sure what actually happened unless you were actually there. We believe the narrative we chose to believe.
Exactly. They wouldn't even surrender after the 1st bomb. This idea that they were ready to surrender without us having to invade the main island is complete revisionist history.
Professor David Bohm, for whom Oppenheimer was a mentor, refused to testify against Oppenheimer to the government. Yet Oppenheimer led physicists to unjustly ostracize Bohm regarding his theories in physics. Oppenheimer was a back-stabber.
His line in the trailer is the only negative thing I can see in this film. “This is most important thing in the HISTORY OF MANKIND!” Like bruh… let the movie do the exposition. Don’t yell it in my face.
this film is needed for America, maybe they will realize they're the bad guys and theyre about to cause nuclear annihilation because their billionaires need another super yacht
I wish Nolan would do a Heller based movie, with ignoring humor. It wasn't funny to the characters. It was funny to the detached reader; but it wasn't funny. Something Happened
I hope I'm wrong but I don't think Oppenheimer will do very well. Today's audience wants to escape into worlds of fantasy and superheroes, Oppenheimer offers way too much reality for them to handle.
You are grotesquely overblowing the significance of this film. considering the stakes that are driving this plot the emotional impact of the film is underwhelming. Nolan once again fails to deliver for as characters we can root for and care about.
Politically, this vid buys into all the big govt propaganda. Thumbs down. Don't think Nolan would agree with much of this video's ideas in the way it was narrated.
What people say: I am looking forward to watching Christopher Nolan’s new film shakeup Hollywood and get us out of our obsession with big dam superheroes. What people forget: Christopher Nolan created our obsession with big dam superheroes when he directed the dark night. If you hate those movies... If you are fatigued with the genre... Then instead of thanking Christopher Nolan for getting Hollywood out of it, maybe you should be blaming him for getting Hollywood into it in the first place.
Spielberg's West Side Story died at the box office and so will Openheimer. American audiences posess little more than a video game mentality. That's all they can handle.
One of the great ifs of history. The USSR (who knew all about the Manhattan project) declared war on Japan a few days before the first atomic bomb burst and there was increasing awareness in Tokyo that fighting both the US/UK and the USSR was impossible. The use of the atomic bombs certainly shoved the Japanese government but many thought it was toppling anyway. 🤔
You are correct. I commented that Japan was not ready to surrender. They were preparing their population to fight to the death. In fact, even after the two A bombs were dropped, there was a faction of the Japanese government that still did not want to surrender. They tried to overthrow the emperor who had decided to surrender after the bombs.
The threat of nuclear war is not at its most at the moment. People have a short memory as 30 to 50 years ago the threat was certainly greater than it is currently
If you want more analysis and really try to state what they (the movies) talk about current themes, nothing more obvious than Tenet going against ecoterrorists and the likes of Greta, Soros and Schwab. Also the yanks apologetics towards Japan are pathetic, even if Japan was not ready to surrender one bomb would be enough but what do you expect for the empire of lies?
Don’t forgot the most important example of TDKR’s anti Occupy Wall Street. I think you’re looking a bit too deep with Dunkirk. EU is inherently corrupt and Britain came to the rescue when everyone else were losers. Brexit all day every day. Long live Great Britain!
Living in Great Britain is so depressing. Corrupt government, basic financial bills sky high, crime rate increase, divorce rate increase... not to mention the weather. Its not great anymore
Because movies are trying to be as diverse& woke as possible it means most movies nowadays have some really terrible actors in them& that’s one of the reasons movies have went downhill
Okay - I am yet to see a bad movie purely due to diversity. Stop trying. To justify your prejudice - this is a flimsy narrative and everyone see s through it.
