[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I don't understand this.  Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees, or cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You daughter will survive seeing some sex and boobs.  Some might even say it'd be a good thing, opening up communication and such.  [/quote]

New poster here.  I did not like the nudity because the actress simply seemed exposed to me, in a gratuitous way.  For example, the scene in the Congressional hearing room where, totally nude, she climbs onto Oppenheimer's lap and straddles him as he is being interrogated by fully clothed men in suits.  There is little need for such exposure of her body.  The same point could have been made with her in clothing.  It just felt unnecessary and overdone. It's not about seeing some sex and boobs.  It's about using the female body as a prop.[/quote]

First of all, that wasn't a congressional hearing room, and the fact that you don't know that makes me question your intelligence.

Second, it was obviously [b]intended[/b] to be raw and uncomfortable and exposed and painful.  [/quote]
