"The announcement came just hours after the Christopher Nolan “Oppenheimer” movie topped the Oscar nominations, with thirteen."
Chris Nolan really blew it! With modern moviemaking technology he could have shown people the full Monty, the skin hanging off the bodies of screaming Japanese children. He went into great detail about the hammer but completely ignored the nail!
OF COURSE we see the balancing act he was doing. If he had made it right, it wouldn’t have been watched by quite as many people. But in 78 years this was only the second serious Hollywood treatment of Oppenheimer. The first was usurped by our government and made into a commercial for nukes, and Nolan’s movie was made into a great drama. He squandered the last chance to teach the world about nuclear war. He flat failed. He didn’t even move the needle.
The world, in its trust that an accidental nuclear holocaust won't happen, is like my brilliant doctor sister, who has lost all her precious data 3 times now because of not backing up her hard drive. Hard drives are so reliable, she kept assuming they would always work …
One man having the power to launch is the ONLY way it can be done!! There simply isn't time to debate or hash things out when seconds matter! Or you end up like that movie with gene hackman an denzil washington in a submarine! In the past what was criminal and totally ignorant was when we had hydrogen bomb and DIDNT use it in Korea!!!!!! To this day the betrayal of american lives that cost is totally unjustified!!!! They had to test bomb anyway and had perfect opportunity but instead sent thousands of soldiers to die because neither Truman or Eisenhower were "man" enuf to give a simple command!!! The monumental stupidity is beyond comprehension!!! Another fact is that whoever launches FIRST WINS!!!!! Kinda a important detail!!!!As for Japan, it's not even debatable that that was the ONLY winning decision hands down and was proven to be a brilliant and total sucess unquestionably which begs the question, why haven't we repeated it thru the years instead of criminally putting boots on the ground!!!!So it has to be ONE man to press button!!! No softhearted sissies chiming in with their squeamish bleating as they cower in their pesthole!!!!
