I saw Oppenheimer in the theater. It was full of people. When it all went silent at 1:02, I thought someone would be eating chips, drinking cola, talking or whatever. Well, I was very surprised when the entire audience fell into the utter silence for like a minute. Everybody was just amazed by the beautiful shots of the explosion. I'll never forget that cinema experience.

Feynman watched through the windscreen of a truck. This actually happened - he knew the glass would block harmful UV and he was the only one to actually witness the explosion without dark filters, but he was temporarily blinded for some minutes afterwards.

So glad it won Best Picture. Deserved every award

And this is only a fraction of the nuclear power we have to day. Absolutely frightening.

[DJFNaFMan]

The silence is actually really disturbing hearing nothing but breathing and a distant hum. It shows how messed up these bombs really are

[Paccyd]

I image this scene would be so much cooler if I wasn’t blocking my ears in anticipation of a super loud sound the whole time

[gecko]

all for practical effects, but they could have used some cgi to make the explosion look like an actual nuke

[CUY]

I stand by this. The explosion looked horrible. The split second clips in the opening scene showed the sheer magnitude far better than the final result. This looked like a gas can explosion a hundred meters away rather than a massive nuke miles away. CGI was absolutely needed here. With the same team that made the black hole in interstellar, they could have made a realistic nuke

[jordanbrettabbott]

I can't believe they used that. It looks just like a gasoline fire.

[dominykaszakrys]

The only flaw with the scene is the initial explosion, looks like a plastic explosives explosion when it should have been nuclear fireball...

[SimpleJackPC]

Not too worried about the practical effects of the bomb, this scene and scenes before with the buildup of the test are BEYOND Oscar worthy

[jushuaaking]

Man that looked nothing like the world ending nuke just a 10kg bomb man they should of used CGI

[texangamer]

This scene is just perfect, I've never really seen anything like it before. My jaw dropped when the explosion hit and there was just silence

[ranelgallardo]

When I saw this scene, I was like “Yep this is winning Best Picture at the Oscars next year!”

このシーンは涙が止まらなかったです。
広島や長崎のことを思い出して
本当に胸が痛みました。

映画も監督も素晴らしかったですが、映画館からの帰り道は
子どもたちの未来と今の現状について考え
足取りが重くなりました。
