Oppenheimer

I love Christopher Nolan movies; even during the pandemic I went to see Tenant and was disappointed. 

Inception is still my all time favorite Nolan movie. 

Oppenheimer's biopic should have limited Nolan style jumping back and forth the time every 30 seconds. This will lose most people's interest since most don't know Oppenheimer's story. 

I did love the movie. 

Hat's off Oppenheimer for managing some of the brilliant minds of our times in a small space and time and delivering for humanity. No small feat and as far I know - no one before or since has pulled this feat. 

Oppenheimer life can teach us few lessons; nothing new but age old wisdom.

1. Watch out for enemies amongst your friends. Pick your friends wisely and don't get disappointed if they disappoint.

2. Choose your spouse and who you have sex with wisely. Nothing more in life is more important than this. 

3. Eschew ideology. Never even flirt with one else you will face consequences sooner or later. 

4. Understand people don't have gratitude. Learn to accept that as a daily status quo. 

5. People have short term memory outside of their "personal" life (which one of the reasons for # 4).

6. Do the right thing always (the atom bomb was the right thing) and pass on to the next generation.  There are some unique cases where one cannot be responsible for second or third order effects.

Maybe one day his work might destroy this planet. Maybe not. Maybe his work saved the planet and might save it again. 

I don't know.
