How can you spoil a movie based on historical events unless you have no idea about the specific history?

Don't tell me what happens with that bomb I saw in the trailer! No spoilers!

This is why I specifically wrote about "spoiling the EXPERIENCE OF WATCHING Oppenheimer", not "spoiling the story".
A movie is so much more than just the story or story outline (which I do know as I've read the excellent "The Making Of The Atomic Bomb").
I really love to experience movies with as little before-hand information as possible — I don't want to read about that great moment where actor X enters the scene, I don't want to read about how they did that awesome camera work in that one scene, I don't want to read about that dialogue in that one scene where the whole audience in the cinema broke into spontaneous applause etc.
I want to experience these kinds of things myself, as uninformed as possible.
