Well, I was able to find the time to finish quicker than I thought, and as much as I already loved this movie so much, this actually opened up some more of what makes it so great. It's especially nice that this was clearly recorded before the Oscars so you didn't have any expectations from that hanging over it. It was especially surprising to see Cillian Murphy get so much awards attention, because it's really not the kind of "showy" role that typically gets it, but it's entirely deserved. This may seem like a weird comparison, but I always think of the scene in The Birdcage where Robin Williams pretends to indulge a backup dancer's desire for the spotlight by telling him to do a bunch of different dances, then ends with "But you keep it all inside." Murphy here is that joke made a true performance, all the roiling emotion made clear even as he physically isn't doing that much. I've slowly become a big fan of Emily Blunt, and at the ceremony it was noted that her performance refusing to shake Teller's hand alone would deserve the nomination. Speaking of, I haven't seen much talk since the film came out of Bennie Safdie, who had the incredibly tricky job of playing the main inspiration for Dr. Strangelove without inappropriately reminding us of that classic character whenever he opens his mouth, and pulled it off beautifully. This wasn't quite Nolan's first attempt at a biopic, as he finished a script about Howard Hughes before Scorsese beat him to it, and after seeing this film I'm very curious to read it. Since they start of his career he's loved playing around with a story's chronology, which was especially risky here given the vast amount of characters and possibly oblique science talk which could get people lost even if they have a reasonable knowledge of the real Oppenheimer's story. But it's all put together beautifully, in a perfect logical progression that lets us have a decent idea what's going on even if we don't have all the pertinent details so we don't mind waiting for them. I'm impressed you picked up on the reasoning behind the switch between color and black and white in the middle of your first viewing, which Nolan further described as the color being Oppenheimer's subjective viewpoint and memories while the black and white is just the pure facts. Every time I've rewatched it I've picked up on something new about how this works. I'm so happy it got the success that it did, and I can't wait to see what he has in store next after I recently finally checked out Following so I've now seen all his films. After I was born in the heyday of Spielberg, Scorsese, and Ridley Scott, getting to see a similar master come into being in my own time has been incredible to witness, and I feel pretty comfortable calling Oppenheimer his masterpiece.

I also should point out that Jack Quaid's character Richard Feynman very much deserves his own movie. The bongo-playing we see here is just barely scratching the surface of what a weird guy he was, and the way none of it stopped him from also being a super brilliant physicist is the kind of thing that would be called impossible to believe if a fictional character did it. Hell, have Quaid back, I'm sure he could handle it.

Good to see you had the time to watch and enjoy. I also caught it before the Oscar ceremony, though I was aware of the buzz that this film was the projected frontrunner to win in almost every category it was nominated for. Cillian Murphy’s performance is quite atypical of the showier awards roles. That’s actually a perfect comparison you made to that side-splitting scene from The Birdcage, of course that entire movie is side-splitting, Nathan Lane is especially wonderful in that. But, yeah, perfect comparison. Much though I was pushing more for Paul Giamatti to win the Oscar for The Holdovers, like I mentioned, you see the work Cillian did here, and the thought is, “Yeah, I really can’t argue that one.” I’m a big fan of Emily myself, and I don’t disagree with the remark made of her nomination was a lock from the look she gave Teller whilst refusing to shake his hand; that was a look that could melt steel. Good point on Bennie Safdie showcasing how Teller was the inspiration for Dr. Strangelove without sliding into caricature and bringing to mind the character itself. I did know that Nolan wanted to do a Hughes picture before Scorsese beat him to it. Much though I do quite like The Aviator despite it being in my lower half of ranking his films, I too would be curious about how Nolan would have tackled that. The script for that would be an interesting read. I think Nolan’s most ambitious case of playing around with a story’s chronology as you put it, was The Prestige with most of the story being told through diaries within diaries. Here, yeah, bold and risky to play with the chronology, yet it runs very smoothly. I loved how Jess picked up on the shifting color schemes and their meanings. This is a film that you can watch a couple of times and pick up on some new things. I too look forward to Nolan’s future efforts, though I do still need to see Tenet. Still need to figure out where I would rank Oppenheimer in his overall filmography, though I know my brother and I are pretty settled on Interstellar and The Prestige as our favorites of his work. You say you’d view Oppenheimer as Nolan’s masterpiece, objectively speaking, I wouldn’t contest that, even if it may not be my favorite of his filmography. It was quite incredible.

Considering how Jack Quaid is proving himself to be a pretty damn good actor, combined with Feynman and his life has enough material to make a movie by itself, I wouldn’t say no to Jack reprising the role in a hypothetical separate biopic. One worry would be people finding his story too unrealistic, though I think you could offset that some by having a “Based on a true story” text to highlight the absurdity by noting something like “Pretty much all of this happened! Seriously, we barely made anything up!” or something like that. That’s something that helped with Big Eyes when my dad and I saw that; before seeing it, I heard Tim Burton say that certain aspects of it had to be toned down out of fear that people would find it too implausible/unrealistic. Thus, Dad and I were amused wondering just how outlandish some of it really was if the film presented a watered down version of events. By the way, I’ve been watching Ripley. I’ve presently finished the first three episodes. It’s quite excellent. I’d be curious to hear opinions from viewers not familiar with the character Tom Ripley, previous adaptations that feature the character, or just the source material in general.
