What's the appeal?


So it's about a guy....who builds an atomic bomb? Nothing more, nothing less. I have a feeling it'll be something overly long and drawn out. Would this be getting the same amount of attention if Chris Nolan weren't directing it? I hear more about him than the movie itself.

I normally don’t get drawn in by posts I think are tasteless or classless or in this case moronic but fudge me, I can’t get over how dense OP comes off here, “What’s the appeal? So it's about a guy....who builds an atomic bomb? Nothing more, nothing less.”

Then tell me what I'm missing here? That is in fact the movie's premise.

ON THIS WE AGREE...I DO NOT SEE THE APPEAL OF THIS HISTORICAL DRAMA ABOUT A SCIENTIST.

It was a seminal moment in history.

PAUL NEWMAN ALREADY DID IT.

Nothing about this makes me want to see it, especially since that soulless hack Nolan is making it.

I saw Fat Man and Little Boy about Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project in 1989. No need to see this. It’ll be another pretentious Nolan borefest.

Many like to showcase a Jewish person doing good! Unlike whites.

reply

How many people do you know have done that? Simply built an atomic bomb.

reply

It's human drama. Oppenheimer had regrets after we dropped the bombs. He didn't want to be kicked out of the government, Einstein told him not to give a f_ck but Oppenheimer fought from being ostracized anyway.

“So it's about a guy....who builds an atomic bomb?”

Perhaps you should just think above it that for a moment.

reply

It's kind of an important part of history, dude.

reply

It appeals to me because I find the subject interesting.
