đŊī¸ Oppenheimer
J. Robert Oppenheimer, father of the atomic bomb. A chain reaction that would destroy the world!
I've always had a fascination about quantum physics, although I'm not good at this. I love to read the theory of physics and chemistry, I found a great interest here. But don't find me a pro at solving mathematical equations đ¤Ļââī¸
Anyway, I thought this movie would be based on quantum physics or about the creation of an atomic bomb, so i was eager to watch this. But i was wrong. Here Christopher Nolan shows that, how the mastermind and father of the atomic bomb, became a victim of work/office politics and how his life was almost destroyed by the jealousy of his fellow colleagues. So yeah, this film is the biography of American theoretical physicist, Oppenheimer. I was amazed by Christopher's work, and obviously Cillian Murphy also did an amazing job. We got to see real life duality here!
The film is good, no doubt. But when it comes to atomic bombs, I am silent! We all know the dangers of this creation. Even Oppenheimer, when he finally realized that his discovery would not only make history, but that it might make him history's villain, said, "Now I become death, the destroyer of worlds."
.
His invention was used in Japan during World War 2, in the two cities we all know, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It helps the American president to stop the war in a second, and save the American soldiers! But it is sad how it destroyed those cities. How many people died is probably fundamentally unknown. It shows 70,000 in Hiroshima, +40,000 in Nagasaki and a total of 110,000. But we don't know the real facts. If you've seen Grave of the Fireflies, I must say you've cried. And when you watch Oppenheimer, you'll feel your heart ache, you'll feel your stomach ache.... Cause you can relate the pain youâve experienced in gave of fireflies!
Oppenheimer says that we scientists know the outcome, what this chain reaction can lead to. But people will never understand until they experience it. And yes, he was right. Now Russia, America, UK, Pakistan, India, France, China, North Korea all have this power in their hands, but they know the result. So they won't think of using it. Or will someday who knows! So Oppenheimer is a villain or a hero? I don't know, he just works for his country. But all I can say is, innovation is not bad, it's how you use it that matters. Now we humans are our main destroyer, main enemy. We are not united, and that's the result! We killed each other, and considered it our victory, our achievement!
