The Oppenheimer movie is garbage

Basically, the title, my wife and I tried to watch the movie last night for the first time, without watching any trailers or hearing anything about the movie prior.

The movie is a confusing mess, it plays like one long preview, flashing from place to place and time period to time period with no real meaningful dialogue other than a sentence or two in each place.

The film feels like someone has their nose so far up Oppenheimer’s ass. They can’t even tell his story.

And the music, my God, the music, always trying to force you how to feel, rather than letting you figure out how you feel for yourself.

From what I understand, people say that it shouldn’t need to tell his story because you should “already know who he is and his story” I find this to be an extremely ridiculous point of view, as that’s the point of the movie is to be a biography, just give me a story, the culminates in him, ultimately creating the bomb, dealing with that, and then dealing with the aftermath.

I believe that if it was a fairly linear story, it would’ve played way better than the jumping confusing meandering mess that it is.

I have no stake in any of the characters, I don’t care what happens to anyone, I don’t know anyone’s motivations, I don’t know how they interact with people, especially Oppenheimer, who barely interacts with anyone other than a few sentences. That we see.

TLDR

This movie is an absolute pile of shit.
