Good thoughts.Watched Oppenheimer. I liked it though I definitely felt the length of it as I got a little sleepy during the later scenes. Fantastic job by Cillian Murphy capturing the man himself, the scene after they drop the bomb and everyone is celebrating but the effect of dropping a bomb on civilians starts to haunt him is fantastic, one of my favorite scenes.
The testing of the bomb scene was probably the standout scene for me, I was totally glued to the screen. Another great scene is when they are discussing which city to choose to bomb. The Einstein scenes were great too, especially the haunting words to wrap up the movie.
My least favorite scenes were mostly Robert Downey Jr ones, not that he did a bad job, he actually did quite well. its just that it started to get a little confusing to me his role, his past relationship with Oppenheimer and his motivation for tearing him down. I got kind of annoyed each time they pulled me out of Oppenheimer storyline to bring me back to this guy I didnt care for. I kind of wished some of his scenes were cut out or at least trimmed down.
Basically the whole reason Downey tore down oppenheimer was simply because his feelings were hurt by oppenheimer a couple times when oppenheimer made him look foolish
