<div dir="ltr">The movie was very interesting to me because I remember the "modern physics" courses I took at the UW in the '60s, and remember the pantheon of pioneering physicists from the 20th century such as Heisenberg, Bohr, Fermi, Teller,
and of course Einstein, who played important roles in the movie. Those were heady times for scientists like Oppenheimer making new discoveries and inventions. And the '30s were turbulent times with the rise of fascism and communism, and many intellectuals
sided with the communists without realizing the horrors of Stalin. The movie's portrayal of the Trinity bomb blast was a wakeup to the horror of what they created; like Frankenstein, they created a monster with the power to destroy its creator and all the
rest of us.</div>
<div dir="ltr">Then I remember the McCarthy-era congessional hearings about Oppenheimer, with him being demonized for his associations with communists before the War. My Grandma was a McCarthy supporter and thought Oppenheimer was a "Jew
Commie" - she was a borderline Nazi, and would be horrified to learn how liberal her grandson has become!</div>
<div dir="ltr">All in all I think this is a powerful movie that should scare the hell out of us.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Definitely a film to talk about after you see it and maybe see it again because there is so much packed into it. There are also some documentaries that talk about this event and the background of Oppenheimer and how is story unfolded. Compassion
as we don’t always understand the full effects of our choices till afterward.<br>
