映画「オッペンハイマー」
”Oppenheimer”
I saw Oppenheimer directed, and produced by Christopher Nolan.
It consists of three themes:
his success of the atomic bomb experiment, his relationship with two women
(wife and lover), and the security hearing.
His success was brought about under the stress
that Germany would make an atomic bomb earlier than the United States. He was
also concerned with the idea that the Soviet Russia would make one. The process
to the successful explosion of the bomb was intriguing. I was excited when the
countdown began. Later he stands on the stage to say words in front of many excited
scientists in Los Alamos Laboratory. I thought, “This is his best time, but the
beginning of the worst.”
The movie depicts his relation with his lover.
He was not faithful to his wife. The movie not only shows his hardship to
develop the bomb but also his private life, which distracted me from the main
theme.
The movie mainly centered around his relation
with the communist and the red purge. He was prosecuted for being a spy. The
debates in the hearing scene is so quick and difficult that I failed to
understand the scene well.
As a whole, the movie reveals enemies that
attack too famous a man, “father of atomic bomb.”
