Cyril Edwin Paul

He is become death and also the aftermath of it. What Nolan chose to offer up is a culmination of his crafts across the last 10yrs of his films, varying in nuances and impact that is compressed and is shot toward the "core" of 'Oppenheimer'. And the result as such was scattered through the screen in the form of a conclusive yet elusive screenplay. The interwoven and ever entangled plot carries us through years of a young physicist to the "father of the atom bomb", although lightly played upon the background of such a notorious figure, the non-cgi shots early on brought a smile upon my face as the turmoil or fission inside him begins. Nolan treads into the murky parts of history to flesh out characters which although too many to count, aid in nudging the political and psychological prospects of the lead played by Cillian Murphy, whose eyes make the audience want to fill in the emptiness. The triumph of birthing the bomb is overshadowed by the preceding biographical drama which is stitched in unison with the events succeeded with political astuteness and thrill. The crux underlines a big move in our history whilst etching the details of the aftermath of such genocide from the world within the man who "wished" it. The sound alarms not so subtly through powerful dialogues and bold frames which is uplifted in "another world" by the exceptional presence of Downey Jr, the score alleviates the intentions and intensity of the scene unlike Hans Zimmers world building, and finally the explosions within a man whose moral compass fights from within is shown ever erupting and unstable.
