[OPINION] A climate advocate reviews 'Oppenheimer'

'Contrary to popular stereotypes, this movie shows how scientists are never isolated from what is going on around them, as their work can both influence and be influenced by politics.' Opinion

The legacy of J. Robert Oppenheimer is complicated and seemingly full of contradictions. He was a theoretical physicist who was most known for leading the development of the atomic bomb. He led a project to beat the Nazis in the race for developing such weapons, and became an advocate for controlling its production and use afterwards. He was an American hero to many, yet he was a womanizer and was bogged by alleged links to Communists throughout his life.

Nolan also effectively uses visuals and sounds to emphasize the psychological struggle that Oppenheimer goes through regarding his role in the creation of the atomic bomb, ensuring the viewers would be as immersed as he. As captivating as those flashes of waves and sub-atomic particles that demonstrate the wonders of the universe, images of explosions can also show a more haunting and dangerous side.

Contrary to popular stereotypes, this movie shows how scientists are never isolated from what is going on around them, as their work can both influence and be influenced by politics. His life is a precautionary tale about how bureaucratic forces and political maneuvering can override initial intentions for what these discoveries and inventions should be, especially during times of crises.
