Thank you for your comment it was thought provoking.

I definitly agree with "The film also showed that Oppenheimer himself was naive, thinking that "better I do this than evil men" assumes you can control what you build after you build it. The politics was the battle for control of the bomb, and the realisation that he lost that control as soon as it was complete."

But as for how I personally view the event... I went to see a movie and in how I personally view a movie it failed to justify its length and its non-linear presentation.

If I consider the event, I view it as a fixed point in time, something done that cannot be undone and arguing for or against it is tangential. There are lessons to be learned, like what you have pointed out that I agree make a compelling case study. But if that was the takeaway from Oppenheimer, then you just did a better job of telling it than the movie. Short, succinct, to the point.

I did not need Florence Pugh to be riding his dick at a commitee hearing to get that the hearings were uncomfortable, y'know?
