This 3-hour movie's story has clear fault lines.
The Big Picture Somewhere midway into Christopher Nolan's masterclass, the biopic on the life of the "father of the atomic bomb," Robert J. Oppenheimer, starts showing the fault lines of what is an otherwise captivating visual marvel. While quickly switching timelines and picking up speed as if the movie was rushing to reach its grand climax, Nolan's Oppenheimer starts losing focus on the many storylines it teases throughout the nearly three-hour-long journey.
Oppenheimer's Guilt Needed More Time To Develop In one of the most controversial scenes of the film, Oppenheimer makes an attempt at killing his professor but changes his mind a day later. Without holding back, the film establishes the dwindling moral disposition of its protagonist who’s both revered and questioned within the length of the same film.
As reiterated multiple times throughout the film, the physicist personified the greatest intellectual voice of his time yet his voice was diluted by a virtue of his choices. From here, his change in stance when he started believing that he unleashed a chain reaction onto the world, a concern voiced by him in the last scene of the film, does not seem as obvious or apparent. For some, it may only seem a confusing character development.
Another key aspect of the film that directly affects Oppenheimer's fate is his stance on communism – which is focused upon greatly only to the extent that it helps justify the arguments made by the prosecutor Roger Robb and assists in furthering the narrative that the United States of America's atomic policy wouldn't be safe in the hand of the man who engineered the greatest progress that country had achieved in the field until then.
