I wondered if you'd recognize Florence Pugh, who played Jean (Oppenheimer's first love interest in the film) as Natasha Romanoff's sister Yelena (introduced in MCU film "Black Widow"). I rode the yellow subway line in Toronto (Line 1) all the way to Vaughn to watch this film in 70mm IMAX when it came out (to see what all the hype was about). I enjoyed the experience immensely, although I found the movie itself to be quite chaotic the way it's edited. I wonder if that was Nolan's intention - to have the audience experience a taste of Oppenheimer's chaotic mind. It definitely required a rewatch for me to grasp many elements of the story that I missed the first time. Lewis "Iron Man" Strauss got what he deserved in the end, IMO. Emily Blunt, who played Kitty (Oppenheimer's wife), I'm sure you also recognize from The Quiet Place. Oppenheimer had appointments at Caltech and Berkeley, but the movie focused entirely on his time at Berkeley. I spent five years at Caltech for my grad school. My field of study, however, was Computer Science. Oppenheimer's association with Caltech began in 1930, at age 26, when he became assistant professor in theoretical physics and taught such advanced courses as Statistical Mechanics and Quantum Theory. He commuted back and forth between Berkeley and Pasadena throughout the 1930s and early 1940s, usually spending one term each year on the Caltech campus. He became a full professor at Caltech in 1938. As depicted in the film, an AEC panel, by a vote of 2-1, ultimately denied Oppenheimer's appeal of the revocation of his security clearance in 1954. This ended his role in government and policy and tarnished his reputation, resulting in his becoming an "academic exile". Later on, his reputation was partly rehabilitated by Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson (both of whom, back when they were senators, had voted against Strauss's nomination as Commerce Secretary). Oppenheimer was a chain smoker and was diagnosed with throat cancer in late 1965 and succumbed to it a little more than a year later, in early 1967. In 2022, the United States government (posthumously) vacated the 1954 revocation of his security clearance, acknowledging that it had been the result of a "flawed process" and affirming that Oppenheimer had been loyal.

Yes, Raga, I needed this second viewing (and Kemi along for the ride) to better put it together. You failed to mention our old pal Sirius Black disguised as Harry Truman.

"Twas a brilliant endeavor in every way. I enjoyed your end comments, darling. Top-notch request as always, Ms. Verity.
