Oppenheimer

2023

★★★★½ 1

it's all still reverberating through me:

Oppenheimer's thumbprint on the rest of human history, the insidiousness of new weaponry and war, the berkely commmunist intelligentsia and the cost of their supposed 'unamericaness,' jean tatlock's words about 'not alienating the people that love you,' the hubris of men who are desperate to top each other and call it 'brilliance'

the massive sounds and unspurling atoms and particles, the capacity we have to destroy each other for sport

Thelma
