    Oppenheimer sowing: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!
    Oppenheimer reaping: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

    (in all seriousness - a movie about an idealistic, self-important man who was ultimately a pawn in America's hunger for empire. nolan does not seem interested in the men playing chess, if only as a weak gotcha in the third act. I ultimately found it politically toothless!)

    an inventive and haunting adaptation - I'm glad I read the novel before seeing this, but I do wish I could know what the ending would have felt like without knowing ahead of time what the twist is. I found the interstitial footage to be really touching and effective, a really thoughtful addition to the immersive experience the first person perspective places you in.
