Movie Review: Oppenheimer (no spoilers)

 

I enjoyed this film. Made me wish I were smarter and/or paid attention in history class and it certainly seemed like my Physics classes were pretty important. This will age me: In my Physics class in college, we were offered a reward for the top score on the mid term... The reward was, ... get this: "One free hour on the 'Internet.'" Seriously, I had no idea what that meant or what I had to do to get an hour on an Internet. If I knew what that was I still don't know what I would do for an hour on something I knew nothing about (same for any girl I've been with). Digression. 

Luckily I was more likely to see a Quasar than I was to get the top score on the mid term, so I did what I do best; nodded knowingly and said, "Cool."

The movie was hard to follow at times, like this blog, but super interesting, unlike this blog. You won't have the same favorite part as I did - I mean, maybe you like the ignition, or maybe the build up of a remarkable life during what must have been the most intriguing and scary time of the century.

But for me, it was a single statement. It was profound in its own way and literally made me ask Alexa what the real statement meant. I'm smarter now and I appreciate Gwen even more for asking it: "What's a kangaroo court? Does that mean it keeps going around and comes back to you?"
