A movie about Oppenheimer's life should be about... the immediate fallout of the bomb on the Japanese population?

I think his role in that overshadows the rest of his life.

I think he was a human with a rich multi-faceted life and this line of reasoning is exactly how we arrive in 2023 with people who, for instance, don't know about Columbus' genocides because "discovering America overshadowed the rest of his life so we didn't bother to cover it in school".

Yeah, no.

Better for a Columbus movie to focus on the genocides than his sex life, no?

A movie about Oppenheimer should’ve at least shown what haunted him and weight of his decisions, not one minute (!) of Oppenheimer watching some background video showing surprised face like on this video.
