演譯心中的江湖爭鋒: "這是那些罕見的電影之一。 當你走開時,你的頭簡直天旋地轉。 看完之後我真的很頭疼(不過不要因此而放棄)。 它有如此多的分量、如此多的懸念和如此多精彩的表演。 這是一部如此重要的電影。 這是關於責任、道德、才華、天才、創新、不忠、婚姻、打開一扇你無法關閉的門,以及關於有一天成為英雄,明天成為惡棍。 可以說他兩者都是,這是完全公平的。 你不能在這裡做絕對的事情。 有很多灰色。 傑作"
演譯心中的江湖爭鋒: 1)利己主義的政治家開始聲稱他們的權力利用了影響力的AB連鎖反應; 2)科學家承擔著普通人的利益:原子能的利用。 3)政客們相互碰撞,使科學家的不同觀點陷入困境,很可能成為一種工具,被利用和拋棄。 4)如何平衡科學與政治的開放性與封閉性(國家安全與人類全球利益)?[1) Politicians of egoistics came to claim their power leveraged the AB chain reactions of influences; 2) Scientists beard the benefits of ordinary people: atomic energy uses. 3) Politicians collided and ground scientists in their different perspectives, more likely than not, a tool, being used and dumped. 4) How to balance the openness and closed-ness of science and politics (national security vs. worldwide benefits of humankind)?]
I did not know much about him until now reading, joggle down some naggets of interest:
"Growing up, Nolan was particularly influenced by the work of Ridley Scott and the science fiction films 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and Star Wars (1977).[4][5] He would repeatedly watch the latter film and extensively research its making.[6] Nolan began making films at the age of seven, borrowing his father's Super 8 camera and shooting short films with his action figures.[7] These films included a stop motion animation homage to Star Wars called Space Wars. He cast his brother Jonathan and built sets from "clay, flour, egg boxes and toilet rolls".[4] His uncle, who had worked at NASA building guidance systems for the Apollo rockets, sent him some launch footage: "I re-filmed them off the screen and cut them in, thinking no-one would notice", Nolan later remarked.[8] From the age of 11, he aspired to be a professional filmmaker.[9] Between 1981 and 1983, Nolan enrolled at Barrow Hills, a Catholic prep school in Weybridge, Surrey.[10] In his teenage years, Nolan started making films with Adrien and Roko Belic. Nolan and Roko co-directed the surreal 8 mm Tarantella (1989), which was shown on Image Union, an independent film and video showcase on the Public Broadcasting Service.[a][12][13]
Nolan was educated at Haileybury and Imperial Service College, an independent school in Hertford Heath, Hertfordshire, and later studied English literature at University College London (UCL). Opting out of a traditional film education, he pursued "a degree in something unrelated", which his father suggested "gives a different take on things".[14] He chose UCL specifically for its filmmaking facilities, which comprised a Steenbeck editing suite and 16 mm film cameras.[15] Nolan was president of the Union's Film Society,[15] and with Emma Thomas (his girlfriend and future wife) he screened feature films in 35mm during the school year and used the money earned to produce 16 mm films over the summers.[16]
Filmmaking style
Nolan's films are majorly centred in metaphysical themes, exploring the concepts of time, memory and personal identity.[174][175] His work is characterised by mathematically-inspired ideas and images, unconventional narrative structures, materialistic perspectives, and evocative use of music and sound.[d]
Christopher Edward Nolan CBE (born 30 July 1970) is a British and American filmmaker. Known for his Hollywood blockbusters with complex storytelling, Nolan is considered a leading filmmaker of the 21st century. His films have grossed $5 billion worldwide."
Personal life and public image
Nolan is married to Emma Thomas, whom he met at University College London when he was 19.[9][16] She has worked as a producer on all of his films since 1997.[43][170] The couple have four children and reside in Los Angeles.[171]
Rarely granting promotional interviews about his films, Nolan prefers to maintain a certain level of mystery about his work.[172] Refusing to discuss his personal life,[173] he feels that too much biographical information about a filmmaker detracts from the experience of his audiences. "I actually don't want people to have me in mind at all when they're watching the films."[172]

The ‘Oppenheimer’ Cast on Filming the Trinity Test, Immersing Themselves in Their Characters, & More
Smart angle of matt damon, despite being on the film itself, looked more excited than us, he was so happy and enthusiastic to explain the movie/experience from a spectator (a viewer). 7:24 - 10:34 Matt Damons response was so articulate and insightful he kept my interest for 3 minutes straight
my conviction was I did not recognize Robert Downey Jr. in the movie as he has been a hero figure in my mind, being a vallain here.
Emily Blunt acted as "Kitty" - at 29 YO, got 4 husbands! 23:15 It's really not cliche to say: behind every strong man is a stronger woman. This movie, the Oppenheimer husband and wife dynamic, defines that figure of speech perfectly.
I fully agreed on "@therunner8733. 1 month ago (edited). It’s one of those rare films. You walk away and your head is absolutely spinning. I genuinely had a headache after watching it (don’t let that put you off though). It just had so much weight, so much suspense, and so many fantastic performances. It’s such an important film. It’s about accountability, ethics, brilliance, genius, innovation, infidelity, marriage, opening a door you can’t close, and about being the hero one day, and the villain the next. Completely fair to argue that he was both. You can’t deal in absolutes here. There’s a lot of grey. Masterpiece"
"@DivijSonak1 month ago (edited)
A real class act by the interviewer Jacqueline Coley. She knew the relevant details about the movie as well as Oppenheimer's life and posed topical, meaningful, and intelligent questions that kept everyone interested, all while switching effortlessly from one person to another. Overall, she struck a fine balance giving everyone their moment in the sun, without letting anyone overpower or dominate the conversation. Those are some of the smartest people in the room and to hold their own against them in something they've worked on is phenomenal. Quality stuff!"
The narratives of the video clip above:
*** My thoughts came upon the movie:
thinking is hard, so most people just follow.
‘Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge’
This famous second quote from Carl Jung (which has been queried as whether entirely accurate) is simple - Clearly, others affect our behavior.
One reason for this is that we live in a complex world. We use the decisions of others as a heuristic, or mental shortcut, to navigate our lives. [顯然,其他人會影響我們的行為。 原因之一是我們生活在一個複雜的世界。 我們利用他人的決定作為啟發式或心理捷徑來引導我們的生活。]
One thought came to me at night is below said well: "我們都活在歐本海默的世界裡,一個由核彈來維持著恐怖平衡的世界裡…"

Resources: the top 10 quotes and why?
The driver, the central theme:
#1--"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
J. Robert Oppenheimer
[Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer]
Taken from the Hindu sacred text the Bhagavad Gita, this infamous quote has been closely connected to the real-life Oppenheimer. Originally, he stated these words 20 years after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings on an NBC News documentary entitled The Decision to Drop the Bomb.
In the film, it is spoken twice: once in a sex scene with Jean Tatlock and later in the breathless wake of the Trinity test. The quote bookends Oppenheimer’s journey, showing the transition from his idyllic intellectual desires to his confrontation with the lived truth behind the words.

There's a moment in Oppenheimer where they write out the expected yield of the bombers being thousands to millions of tons and Oppenheimer literally says I'm not saying that... How about kilotons. I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!! You're a dilettante, a womanizer, unstable, theatrical, neurotic. Omg he's literally me. I did not think the sex scene was weird even though apparently everyone else does and I'm now questioning various things.
The actual atomic bomb scene was some other worldly horror that literally froze the entire audience The guy who invented the concept of an ICBM is portrayed as like a real psycho and creep, which I don't know if it's true, but it's kind of hilarious. He talks about watching v2's land on the city he was hiding out in and describes how he'd dreamed of putting an atomic bomb on top of one of those missiles.
Also, when you add in the neurosis the womanizing, the sort of underlying uncertainty over whether he's a horrendous criminal with a guilt complex or a good and noble man and the cool Cillian Murphy behavior. I think we've just got another literally me that people will be making YouTube edits of for years. That's gonna be weird.
#2--"Why won't you fight?"
Katherine "Kitty" Oppenheimer
[Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer]
Image via Universal Studios
Emily Blunt’s Kitty Oppenheimer is the underlying heartbeat of the film. A woman struggling to stand idly by as history consumes her, she repeats this line to her husband throughout, challenging him to write his own record of history.
The answer to the posed question holds clarity to Oppenheimer’s character, especially his moral attitudes following the Trinity test. He is a shell of a man, as seen in the horrifying gymnasium speech, and finding the courage to object to history as it’s being written is at the very core of this quote.
#3--"I believe we did."
J. Robert Oppenheimer
[Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer.]
Image via Universal Pictures
The shattering final words of Christopher Nolan’s screenplay find Oppenheimer admitting to Albert Einstein (Tom Conti) that he views his actions as changing the world for the worse. His act of discovery led humanity down a dark path with no escape.
Reserved yet wholly impactful, the entire film approaches this moment when Oppenheimer finally admits the danger in his creation. As he looks at the ripples in the rain, he begins to understand the reality ahead of him, both in his lifetime and in history’s memory. A stunning quote that captures Oppenheimer’s central tenets with power, poise, and prestige.
#5--"Hiroshima isn't about you."
President Harry S. Truman
[Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer in 'Oppenheimer' ]
Image via Universal Pictures
One of the more devastating lines from the film, after the bombings in Japan, has branded Oppenheimer “The Father of the Atomic Bomb,” he goes to visit President Truman (Gary Oldman). When he tells the 33rd President he has “blood on his hands,” Truman stiffly responds with this callous quote.
What’s so ugly about this exchange, ending with another distressing line when Truman interjects “Don’t let the crybaby back in here,” is that nobody, not even the President, truly understood the weight of what Oppenheimer had to endure – and, more importantly, the weight of what they have all done.
#7--"Is anyone ever going to tell the truth?"
J. Robert Oppenheimer
[Jason Clarke in Oppenheimer]
Image via Universal Pictures
As William Borden reads his inaccurate and inflammatory attack letter at the behest of the Gray Board and Roger Robb (Jason Clarke), Oppenheimer quietly utters this line to his attorney.
RELATED:The Best Cillian Murphy Movies, Ranked According To Rotten Tomatoes
The startling realization that dawns on Oppenheimer during his private trial that ultimately took away his security clearance is their ambivalence to the truth. It’s an example of when he recognizes his own naïveté and is shaken by the perils of the new world he finds himself in.
#8. "Power stays in the shadows."
Lewis Strauss
Lewis Strauss instantly became an iconic villain standing beside Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher) in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Noah Cross (John Huston) in Chinatown. Robert Downey Jr.'s assured performance crafted a believable opportunist, horrific for how common his breed of politician is to this day.
This quote may as well be Strauss’ thesis, which is fitting given the black-and-white visual identity his scenes have. It’s a cold line that represents his objective and ultimately explains his downfall when he tries to emerge from the shadows unscathed after his manipulative actions against Oppenheimer.
9"We're not convicting – just denying."
Lewis StraussSpoken by Lewis Strauss (Robert Downey Jr.) during his duplicitous meeting with William Borden (David Dastmalcian) when planning their attack letter on Oppenheimer, this quote embodies Strauss’ personal justification for tearing down Oppenheimer’s social stature and solidifies him as an unforgettable villain from the movie.
It’s a line that epitomizes Strauss’ professional pursuits. Later, he states the line again when he realizes his chance at becoming Commerce Secretary is unlikely after Dr. David Hill’s (Rami Malek) congressional appearance. Much like how “I am become Death” is the bookend for Oppenheimer’s growth, this line is the same for Strauss.
#4--"You don't get to commit sin, and then ask all of us to feel sorry for you when there are consequences."
Katherine "Kitty" Oppenheimer
[oppenheimer-cillian-murphy-emily-blunt]
Image via Universal Pictures
After the news of Jean Tatlock’s (Florence Pugh) suspected suicide riddles Oppenheimer with pain and heartbreak, Kitty (Emily Blunt) shakes him out of his stupor with this quote. She lets go of her restraint and for a brief moment shares her authentic self, a rare chance for her.
RELATED:The Most Emotional Movie Quotes, According To Reddit
Nolan was unafraid to depict the horrors of this story with the ambiguity it clearly deserves. In his moment of suffering, Nolan doesn’t let Oppenheimer off easy. Kitty maintains a dignity because of this line that most filmmakers would pass up for a more traditional husband-wife dynamic.
