A copy of 'Oh My God' without conviction, a courtroom where no court rules are followed. A judge and two lawyers are having a conversation. The arguments presented by both parties seem forced and not convincing. It talks about sex education that is very much required, but it’s so poorly written that it becomes deviating, repetitive, and unconvincing. Many scenes and patterns are borrowed from the 1st part, even though they do not fit well in the story.

A Cinematic Journey Through History and Science Being a student of film making, "Oppenheimer" is a masterpiece. We can learn so much about the importance of dialogues, screenplay, and editing. I love how Nolan showed 3 eras, many popular scientists, a court trial, and an atomic bomb test - all in 3 hours. I know it is a long movie, but the amount of content it has is even longer. The movie picks up the pace in the last 30 minutes, with no time wasted in long pauses; there are so many engaging conversations. It goes on to show how much effort the entire crew has put into making it. Coming to the story - it is not for everyone. If you have a keen interest in physics, court trials, and documentaries; of course, you are a Nolan fan. You may enjoy this watch. But it is not a fun movie. It is a documentary movie that requires a lot of context to completely understand the plot. Every little line can change your perspective about the key characters. It will leave you with a lot of questions. It is a psychological and a courtroom drama. I feel that Nolan could have chosen to show 2/3 time eras, so he could slow down the movie for everyone to understand. But I think it would have been an injustice to not show the background of such a large event that changed the course of history for many nations. Usually, Nolan's past movies like "The Dark Knight" and "Dunkirk" were not as open-ended. Audiences were left with little to no questions as they received the intended message clearly. However, "Oppenheimer" can be perceived from various perspectives, leading to different conclusions for each viewer. Despite the considerable time invested, strong background music, and an amazing storyline, it is challenging to reach a unanimous conclusion. Hence, I am giving it 3/5 stars.
