Added 2024-04-29 20:45:29 +0000 UTCWhat an incredible film directed by Christopher Nolan. Oppenheimer dives into the life of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer who lead a team of scientists to create the atomic bomb. With a stellar cast and Oscar winning performances, this film is a 10/10.

In real life, as usual, the issue is more contentious. I do not have any firm opinion, but here's the basis for the counter-argument (cherry-picking and lightly editing Wikipedia): "Strauss's feelings towards Oppenheimer extended beyond disliking and disagreeing. He had become aware of Oppenheimer's former Communist affiliations before World War II and had begun to think that Oppenheimer might even be a Soviet spy. ... Strauss was suspicious of Oppenheimer's tendency to downplay Soviet capabilities. In 1953, Oppenheimer stated in Foreign Affairs that he believed the Soviets were 'about four years behind' in nuclear weapons development. The United States had exploded the first thermonuclear device the previous year; however, only a month after Oppenheimer made his proclamation, the Soviet Union declared that it had tested its own fusion-based bomb. ... Strauss's suspicions increased further with the discovery that in 1948 and 1949 Oppenheimer had tried to stop the long-range airborne detection system that Strauss had championed and that had worked in discovering the Soviet Union's first atomic weapon test."
