Comment on ‘Oppenheimer’ Wins Best Picture & Director At Critics Choice Awards, Leads Field With Eight; ‘Barbie’ Gets Six Including Best Comedy – Full List

  I love history. History is great. I do not give a single shit about this man.

  “I sure don’t wanna kill people” kills people “ah damn I killed people” looks into the camera as Seinfeld laugh track plays

  I would’ve loved a movie about the Manhattan project and how it all came together. Oppenheimer’s struggles meant nothing and mostly just added runtime.

  A large amount of the movie just reminded me that I should rewatch The Imitation Game. A movie about someone who saved significantly more people than Oppenheimer killed and then his country murdered him before anyone even knew he existed. Alan Turing was a war hero. Oppenheimer was a little sad sometimes.

    I enjoyed Oppenheimer a lot more than The Imitation game, and I think part of it is having more context and showing more of the character’s life and accomplishments. The Imitation game didn’t even mention Turing machines or Turing completeness.

      I don’t think the imitation game was a great movie I just think the story of Alan Turning was much more interesting. I also personally didn’t care for the cameo style of character run down but that’s not really something they could’ve avoided given how many people worked on it. It wouldn’t be possible to give every single one an actual character.
