There is a sex scene, and yeah, it actually contributes to the plot of the film. It’s because it’s not so much just a movie about the atom bomb as it is a film about Oppenheimer.
Heh, yeah. In fairness though Oppenheimer’s affairs with communists did contribute to his security clearance being revoked, so it is actually somewhat relevant here.
Biographies should start at conception really, it’s the only logical choice.
We should rethink a lot about documentaries in general, after all
It’s very rare to have a life without toilet breaks, so ¯\(ツ)/¯
A lot of great ideas must have been made there of which it is not generally known, it is up to documentaries to address this lack of valuable knowledge
Hmm I suppose, I just feel like sex is a private part of peoples lives and I’m not really interested to see the intimate side of most people, including him. But as another commentrr said, it was quite important to the plot in the particular case of Oppenheimer
Lots of movies suffer this issue tbh. Nolan isn’t unique. Why does a small underground movie about a day in the life of a plumber need sex scenes or a pizza delivery man? Makes it impossible to find a relatable protagonist tbh.
Also, what context do they come up in? Is there a sex scene? I bet there is. Now why does a film about atomic bombs need a sex scene.

Ahh, that’s what I was expecting. Can’t have a biography without a sex scene it seems

Oh true I did hear about that
most people do have sex sometimes
Oh please. We all know sex is just a legend.
I saw it on the internet once.
Pah don’t believe everything you see on the internet!

I thought it was very tastefully done, and contributed to the plot

This is a really good point

Not as rare as you might think ×(
Not until they make one about you.
I’m not surprised. Nolan does not permit for a single superfluous moment in anything he creates.
Yeah, the mention of JFK in Oppenheimer is superfluous.
Feel like fading to black achieves the same result

It’s during the scene where he says “Now I am death, the destroyer of worlds” scene
