Oppenheimer

Read that the dialogue is difficulr to hear. Jane Hill the news reader on BBC walked out half way due to not being able to hear what was being said so for me it will be pointless going as i have hearing loss even with my hearing aids.

Hoping to go tomorrow

I am going to see it on Friday. I will report back soon!

I posted on the other thread, I thought it was an excellent film, stayed with me for quite a while, very thought provoking as to the horror of using such a detrimental weapon of mass destruction and the ramifications. Long and loud at times, excellent performances by Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jnr. Glad I saw it on the big screen.

A good companion film to the new film Oppenheimer or TV's The Trials of Oppenheimer is George Clooney's 2005 Goodnight and Good Luck. This also stars David Straithairn, this time as CBS's Edward Murrow taking on Joseph McCarthy. It's currently on ITVX.

Robert Downey Junior plays Joe Wershba who reported on the case of USAF Milo John Radulovich accused of Communist connections and sympathies which sets the whole story in motion. Downey is also in Oppenheimer as Lewis Strauss, a driving force in the controversial hearings against Oppenheimer, so the other side of the fence this time.

I saw this on Saturday and was blown away. Be warned, it’s very LOUD!

Notspaghetti from what I’ve read since, it seems to run pretty close to real life.

Ooh I think I fancy that more Caravansera.
Thank you.
I will look it up.

Back on BBC iPlayer is the excellent 2009 docudrama Storyville: The Trials of Oppenheimer. David Strathairn as Oppenheimer and narrated by Zoe Wanamaker

Going to see it tomorrow evening and looking forward to it.

Is it accurate do we know?
Just wondering.
