Thanks for your continuing commentary on the film. I agree with almost all of what you have shared. However, more recognition should be made that this is a film based on a book about the life of Oppenheimer. Even a film of Oppenheimer's length would not be long enough to cover all of the issues that you so eloquently point out are missing. I am very grateful that a huge Hollywood production, of the highest technical standards, was made about such a serious topic and that it undeniably took a position against nuclear weapons.
Thank you for mentioning the "Downwinders" in the Marshall Islands & atolls. GIFF JOHNSON's deceased wife, DARLENE KEJU, from Wotje Atoll was one such victim. Giff was the Editor of the Marshall Islands Journal. Darlene was a public health worker & advocate for the health of Marshallese people victims of the open air nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll & other 'Operations'. The Marshall Islands were a part of the post-WWII United Nations' Trusteeship at the time a fiduciary duty.
thanks for all the uncovering, i had seen a doc a while ago showing how tokyo had been destroyed by firebombing and the japanese surrender was imminent, without the need for using the nukes, and then there is the story that the us knew about pearl harbor yet let it happen in order to ramp up war effort/arms sales , both pointing to the dark reality that there were people in high places who wanted to and were itching for an excuse to use these horrible weapons in a big awful way

Thank you Robert, I think the words you are looking for are CHRISTOPHER NOLAN.
