Oppenheimer

Glad Barbie didn't win any BAFTAS, man bashing drivel. Oppenheimer was a worthy winner Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey jnr. both superb.

I had looked forward to seeing this film. I wasn't impressed at all. It was tedious. Unnecessarily drawn out and boring. I was actually glad I'd fallen asleep for half an hour of it and hadn't missed anything important.
The subject of the film is incredibly important and interesting. This rendition of it was just self important and, well, dull.

I like the way it’s making me learn more about what happened as I tend to shy away from anything as terrifying as the thought of nuclear war. Cillian Murphy was superb: as my daughter said ‘ how can someone act so much with just their eyes’ and was a master class in acting. He deserves the recognition he is now getting. It reminded me a bit of the Daniel Day Lewis film about Lincoln which I found a bit tedious. I rather expected an amazing soundtrack but, even though that has won awards it wasn’t, for me, memorable in any way. Maybe I’ll like it more after a second viewing but a film should grab you first time round.You should be gripped by a film even if you know what’s going to happen eg Zero Dark Thirty.

'Oppenheimer' is a wonderful subject but I found the film irritating, mainly because of the many flashes forward and back with no explanation. The music was excellent but should have stopped during the sequence when the bomb was detonated. I'll look out for the 1980s dramatisation.

I found Lincoln tedious too MayBee inspite of Daniel Day Lewis being one of our finest actors.

I never tire of watching The Last of the Mohicans!

A remarkable film doing justice to a great man. I recommend Einstein and the Bomb to go with it - not as brilliant but uses the great scientist's own words throughout.

I usually prefer watching a film either on my own at home or at the cinema. Never a good idea to watch in an all age group. I’ll be rewatching it several times. I’m useless when it comes to films or tv series: can never work out what’s going on.

I treated myself last night to Oppenheimer on Sky as I was hesitant when it was first released about sitting for over three hours. Was pleasantly surprised when the price came up as £4.99 which was cheaper and more comfortable than sitting in the cinema. However I must say that I was so glad I had watched the BBC's version as I would never have worked out who was who trying to follow the dialogue in the first ten minutes or so but it vastly improved after than and I did manage to sit watching it without a break. Well worth the money!!!!!

I think I need to watch the BBC version, too, before I rewatch the film.

No surprise that Oppenheimer scooped 7 Oscars at the Academy Awards last night. Director Christopher Nolan, Best Actor Cillian Murphy and Best Supporting Actor Robert Downey Jnr. have all waited a long time for an Oscar. On a personal level I would have liked to see Lily Gladstone take Best Actress for Killers of the Flower Moon but it was not to be.

We showed it at our community cinema a couple of months ago. I had been warned it was long and our town hall seats are not comfy. We have an interval with tea and cake so I thought I could escape if I needed to.
I was totally absorbed! It was excellent. We always have subtitles so it's much easier to follow.

Last night we watched Limbo, a film about Asylum seekers on a remote Scottish Island awaiting the government decisions. It was good and poignant.
