THOUGHTS

So, I did watch Oppenheimer Yesterday and it's, it's a mindfu**ing film of 3hrs & 7 seconds maybe, What I want to put forward is the psychological condition of this guy, the guy who discovered the Atom Bomb.

1 Tried to kill his own Teacher by poising the Apple when he didn't let him attend the lecture, which reflects his arrogance and his love for quantum physics as well as it was not because of the other situations that mentally bothered him but that missing of the lecture was the point that triggered him to do so, once I thought that taking that step was because of the snowball effect or so much happening with him at the moment but after carefully thinking about it and analyzing his behavior for some time my thoughts and my understanding of cinematography of which I am not an expert though, took me to the conclusion that it was because of this particular emotion only, the emotion of arrogance which came out when he was neglected to attend that lecture.

2 His relationship with communists was quite fascinating if you have observed his actions and conversations with all the communists and also ex-communists as well, it was always transactional as those whom he wanted to be with him or his loved ones were at the end non-communists only his girlfriend was left whom he tried to convenience which can be seen at every conversation not at content but at the intent layer of it, and you agree or not it was all his influence that his brother left the communist party and his wife who had some roots left of communist ideology also changed, as he knew that only he can talk and have relations with communists without getting colored with the ideology and not the people around him as he was conversationally superior to all of them he had that fundamental understandability of human behavior.

3 The biggest dilemma he might have as per me would be - should he go for making the atomic bomb or not, though he had had a psychological glimpse of the future and what it could do, now here as well his little arrogant behavior, and biological trait to explore let him do that by surpassing his moral philosophical trait. At some point, the government offer was actually the secondary reason and he himself wanted to do it,

Secondly, After the completion of project manhattan and the Japanese attack, he realized the consequence as the picture was now clear to him and he had nothing else to indulge himself in other than the working of the bomb, he had read a lot of Sanskrit text including bhagwat geeta which might have made some sort right & wrong philosophy which actually made the realization happen. As a person with such existential Philosophy & Psychological Condition gets in Sync with the Scriptures this happens due to philosophical imbalance.

4 The scene where he read the Sanskrit Shloka was a sex scene and I think this should have been avoided, yes it’s creative freedom as I feel about the position of a person who does see the text just as a book but actually for someone who will watch the scene it’s more than that it was in the hands of the director. Now that somehow gets down to Nolan's philosophy.

> I leave the decision up to you to decide if the attack was right or not. Think about it after considering his situation, the things and emotions he was managing at that moment.
