[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved it, except the sex scenes that seemed too crude, slapped on, and didn’t advance the movie.

Reading that spiritually and culturally important Sanskrit text in that moment is quite insensitive, BTW!!! No wonder some Hindus were shocked. And that particular scene was totally unrealistic, let’s just leavebit at that.

There were better ways of showing Oppenheimer had relations with several women.

Me again. They didn't ruin the movie, except I couldn't take my 13 year old to see it with me in the cinema. She wanted to see it. My husband and I are research scientists. We were SO excited to see a movie about actual scientists generating so much buzz, honestly. It's an opportunity to discuss how research always comes with risks, what drives scientists to do it, and how they feel when their discoveries are used in ethically-tortured ways. We're going to wait until it streams, then fast-forward the sex scenes for DD.

I thought the structure of the movie was interesting and easy to follow, personally. And it didn't feel like 3 hours at all - I was riveted the entire time.
A little more science would have been even better. But that's a piddling detail. What matters is the bigger picture.[/quote]
