You know I get depressed when I see such movies get that kind of recognition and appreciation. Normally I don't even watch films like this one, they bare no interest for me at all. The only reason that I watched Oppenheimer was Christopher Nolan. But I think that eventually I lose interest even in Christopher Nolan. The Nolan of The Prestige or Inception seems to have gone away from us completely. Oppenheimer is a boring, by-the-book, heartless, grandioso production that was meant to win many Oscars. If you think of how conservative the Academy members are, then you understand why this film got all these awards. It's not a lie that there were times during the movie that I wasn't even paying attention to the screen. I was even wondering at times why am I losing my precious time with this movie?
There is a huge issue nowadays that has to do with the heart of the movies. 9 out of 10 movies that come out are totally dead. Oppenheimer is not only no exception to the rule but is the fundamental example of what I'm talking about. Great cast, non linear storyline, explosions, black-and-white interventions, brief, non daring nudity, the film has fucking everything, but mostly has nothing. It's a well-polished production there is no doubt about that, but when it comes to really feeling what you are watching then the movie gets zero mark. It's like Titanic that movie. It's big and impressive, that doesn't mean that is also beautiful and intriguing. Christopher Nolan went from the rebelliousness of Inception to the certainty of Oppenheimer. Many would love him for that. I on the other hand am totally disappointed by him.
