Oppenheimer

 Lalitha and I are just back on this rainy muggy day Sunday here in Bangalore, watching the movie, "Oppenheimer". This movie is also special, as this is the first movie in 33 years of married life that Lalitha and I are seeing at the theater with just both of us. (The total movie could be about 10 or so in the 20 years of movie watching since children pestered me to take them to Harry Potter movies back in the early 2000s and then they took me to movies which I selected like Reacher, The Post, Dunkirk etc.). Also, I broke the promise of 1 movie a year with 2 movies in 6 weeks. (hahhahah But still one movie a year in India holds good!).....

Oppenheimer is a must-watch- must not miss the movie. Please take 4 hrs of your time to go and see. Christopher Nolan has mixed the past (Black and White) and present of the Oppenheimer saga. How he built the bomb, the challenges as well as how his left-leaning tendencies worked against him post the Atomic Bomb development. I don't want to spoil the plot. 

The music score by Ludwig Gorransson (It was always Hans Zimmer until Dunkirk for Christopher Nolan) adds spice to the picture. Characters just stand out. No wonder Matt Damon came out of his self-imposed exile from the movies to play Gen. Leslie Groves (He promised his wife that he would act only if directed by Christopher Nolan).!! If the Academy of Movies is unbiased without its woke ideology and stupid rules of the ratio of Diversity, this should sweep the Oscars!! Let's see in March 2024.....

Enjoy it....

PS: One surprising aspect was when Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr made their initial appearances in the movie scene, the cheer and whistle were surprising. More so from my back rows which was Platinum- high price seats!!
