   The chances of you watching "Oppenheimer" without it affecting you in some way are near zero.

      - *Near* zero?
      - What do you want from theatre alone?

      A lot of my potential wikipedia surfing generated by the film is covered by this episode of Veritasium, on the history, science and engineering of the first atomic bombs.

         You can't put Richard Feynman in a movie about someone else unless you're very cautious, because he's such a large persona that he would take over and the film would lose focus.

         I love that "Oppenheimer" simply has an unnamed guy playing the bongos in two or three scenes at Los Alamos, and now I learned that the "[the windshield will protect me from the UV]" guy is also Feynman.

         I wonder how many little details like this I would catch if I read up about the project and the people around it for two weeks and then watched it again.
