I think it should’ve won best sound design for the “panic attack” scene alone. They way everyone is cheering and then everything just suddenly goes silent while he sees hallucinations of destruction sent chills down my spine.

Oppenheimer could be Nolans year to win Best Picture.

5 scenes? It was the entire three hours that made it a best pic nominee

I was thrilled when it swept the Oscar's. I took my son and daughter to see it earlier this year, explaining that it wasnt the type of movie I usually watch with them. When it was over it prompted a conversation with my kids that lasted a couple of hours, and I knew it had had an impact. I told them at the time that I thought it would win best picture, but so much time had passed I was afraid it may have been forgotten by Oscar voters. Thankfully not. People know originality and quality when they see it. Cant wait for Nolans next project.

I just saw Oppenheimer on Peacock on my large screen TV and headset on and got the full experience for those 3 hours. By the time it ended, I was gasping for air and stunned for a long time. I really didn't have any issues with the film. The Trinity test was so beautiful and tragic at the same time, looking at the beauty of the explosion in silence, hearing their breaths...so amazing.

Such an underrated video. Amazing analysis, you cover things in the film that others do not in certain scenes.

The thing I also love about the speech scene is the sound of shoes against the bleachers, which we hear throughout the film in Oppenheimer's mind however it isn't revealed what it actually is from until later on, showing the sound that haunts his mind.

I love that "fusion" scene where Strauss came to a dinner to talk about there was a russian spy in Los Alamos and is sugesting about creating H Bomb, if you pay attention you can see Strauss being alone at first but slowly convincing other scientist to his side against Oppenheimer.

Also, I love how we didn't see Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The story is told from Oppenheimer's POV, he's the one who created the gun, but not the one who shoot it, just like the scene where the millitary official chose those two cities to bomb because he likes Kyoto.

The Kitty arch is one of my favorite aspects of the film. Ludwig actually gives the character her own music.

I have watched every single Chris Nolan’s films ever since I was a kid. His movies has been a part of my life and his movies are the things that helped me go through tough times and give me a new dream. Oppenheimer was just staggering. It was amazing, I do not have the words to describe my feelings watching that movie especially seeing how much improvements Cillian has gotten through and I was so glad that Cillian is finally getting the attention he deserves too. The cinematography, the storyline, the dialogues, the characters, the music, the camera angles, position, lightings, editing, the script, and everything else was just amazing. I have read all the lines of the transcript and I have already rewatched the movie 5 times to better understand it. I also am reading the American Prometheus which is amazing. After my first time watching Oppenheimer, the thoughts and questions I had after watching it stayed with me for weeks, which led me to watch it again and again. I was amazed, it was breathtaking. The cinematography was beautiful and it couldn’t have been better. The fact that Nolan didn’t use cgi for the trinity test scene just made me more inspired. Four stars is not enough for this movie, neither are any stars and ratings in this world. This movie is out of this world and it is a masterpiece.

As a movie lover who is crazy for movies, I watched the whole thing live and watched it over again. I have waited for the moment for wonderful people like Cillian, RDJ, Chris, Emma, Jennifer and Hoyte to get the attention they've long deserved, and to see them finally get it was a dream come true. I want to congratulate them.

Cillian, I have been a life-long fan of yours, ever since I was a little child. Seeing you in small parts of great movies or lead parts of small movies was sad. I always knew that you deserved the big stage, the awards, the attention you deserve. Your acting was incredible from the start of your career, your stage plays, and your first few movies, I could see your potential, even if I was young. I started supporting you from then. I have been by your side, through difficulties, and successes, cheering for you, crying for you, and always being there for you, no matter what they say. I knew that you would eventually get the attention, and the awards you deserve, and I was waiting for it. Today was the day. Today, your career has drawn a path in this industry, a path that will last forever, and I congratulate you. You have deserved it. Growing up, I watched your acting through bad times, when I was down, and you were the reason why I could be the happy child I deserved to be. I want to thank you for that. You have always been there for me. I could also always relate to your actions and your personality as they were similar to mine. That meant a lot for me as a child, as a teenager who was insecure about herself. Maybe it isn't an exaggeration to say that you have saved me and that you are the reason why I am still here, I am still passionate, and I am the person I am today. Seeing you get better and develop into an amazing actor could never be better, it was the best thing that has happened in my life. My goal is to sit together with you, in front of the biggest stage in Hollywood, and say these things to you in person. Again, congratulations on the win, you have long deserved it, just remember, this is just the start, just the start of the attention you deserve. I wish you the best, stay healthy, and just be yourself. Words cannot describe how happy I am for you. I love you. Congrats!

Robert Downey Jr, congratulations. You have been an idol to me. You were my childhood. Your acting has always been spectacular and you are a wonderful person in general. You have never failed to make me smile even during tough times. You always made my day. This award was yours for a long time actually, you deserved it so much. Congratulations, your performance was magical.

Christopher Nolan, congrats! You were my role model ever since I was young. I have always been interested in movies, and the film industry, and your movies always opened up my mind. Your movies taught me important lessons, your movies always were my favourite things in the world. Thanks to you and Emma, I began to dream about a job in the film industry, and I started loving making simple films. I love your movies, your thoughts, and your process. I love your personality and the person you are. You have created countless masterpieces, you have developed many actors into who they are today, and you have touched countless people including me. This movie is a masterpiece. Thank you so much and Congratulations on your win!


I would also like to thank the wonderful casts and crews of this masterpiece, especially Emily, Matt, Hoyte, Ludwig, Universal Pictures, and so much more. Your hard work has moved countless people. This movie will never be forgotten. All of you deserve an Oscar. Thank you so much. Words cannot describe my happiness and gratitude.

For me it was “The Speech”. For a film that spends so much time jumping back and forth between the present and past, interrogations and hearings, classrooms and think tanks, the real gravity of Oppenheimer’s emotional dilemma didn’t really hit me until that speech in the gymnasium. Brilliant scene.

[stillstanding]

This was, by far, the most beautiifully crafted and profound film I've seen in many years (I'm 77 y.o.). The cinematography is unparalled. At the final two scenes, I inhaled and stopped breathing. A stunning conclusion and a stunning piece of film making. It reminded me that our (anti) hero's story was a perfect example of what Hannah Arendt referred to as "the banality of evil". Lofty aspirations cloaked this "destroyer of worlds." And isn't that our story as a race? Our unrelenting story. Oppenheimer may have helped bring this human cycle to its ultimate end.

[BeastyBoyXD]

Rami Malek pulling the uno reverse card must have been up there as a top Oppenheimer scene?

[sueprator]

It is now after the Oscars. I saw Oppenheimer months ago. Just saw a Jimmy Kimmel segment from his own show with Cillian, Emily and Robert Downy Jr. Cillian spoke about how he starved himself to make the character's physical vulunerability real. OMG I feel his doing that just magnified what he conveyed in his magnificent portrayal of this man.

[helenheeney]

Actually the whole film is outstanding and mesmerising

[mudshovel]

making this video weeks before it actually won a bunch of Oscars was a bold move.

[tomekmachowski]

The speech scene is one of the most gut-punching and devastating scenes ever put to film.

[occasm]

the pacing/editing/scoring in the Trinity test scene is amazing. If you view actual Trinity photos....it's not as far off as many think. People tend to think of H bomb explosion they've seen in old newsreels. Those are monsters!

[Rosarymeds]

I loved this movie. But I had a hard time explaining why or pointing to specific scenes. Watching your analysis makes the movie that much better. You verbalize why I enjoyed this movie so much. It truly is an orchestra that ties different elements together throughout the movie.

[itsdnk]

The trinity test scene is directed and edited to perfection. The only thing off about it is the physical characteristics of the explosion itself. I still feel he should’ve used archival footage matted into a couple shots using VFX without the need for full 3D CGI in any way. Just compositing and enhancements of existing footage. Would’ve looked amazing if they did that using Nolan’s ethos and visual style.

[peach]

Your analogy comparing music and quantum physics is absolutely perfect.
