[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]gratuitous sex scenes and nudity?  that's all im hearing[/quote]

Very unnecessary to have those in the movie. It was too much. [/quote]

I disagree entirely.  First, after reading all the commentary about the sex scenes, I thought we were going to have some sort of protracted headboard banging display of athleticism, when in reality the scenes were relatively brief and tasteful as such things go. Second, I think it *was* essential to the plot because otherwise that aspect of Oppenheimer would be too easily glossed over.  (Can you trust him with the bomb?  Maybe, but don’t trust him around your wife—that’s an interesting tension fundamental to the movie.  Needs to be a little in your face to make the point.)

Really, the objection to the sex and nudity asserted by many boils down to a (tired and superficial) feminist critique that [b]a movie about brilliant and accomplished men that also shows a woman’s bare breasts is inherently problematic[/b] due to that juxtaposition.  Yawn, ok schoolmarm.[/quote]

Yeah, no. 
Yes the movie was about highly intelligent men so it makes it even sadder that one of the few female roles was focused on her body, not her mind.[/quote]
