What ended up happening is that scientific progress in physics reached a point in the freely available literature and then just stayed there for a while, while all the big names got hoovered up to work on Manhatten.

(insignificant early spoilers for Oppenheimer)I mentioned that I was lightly rankling against this movie nearly the beginning, but I was on board right with his scene talking about how a bomb falls on the just and the unjust and legacies. A terrific performance in that scene. Honestly, I don't think anyone was bad in this movie, only maybe a few who were good. Also, I finally looked up who Josh Hartnett was in this movie. Wow, he looks different, but of course it's been 15 years since I saw him in Sin City. He was great too.

He just felt like a real human rather than someone playing a role, and he instantly became one of my favorite characters in the film.

Hartnet had a good role in the most recent season of Black Mirror as well (which came back much stronger than the previous several seasons).

Hartnett also starred in a series called Penny Dreadful a few years ago that was pretty good. He hadn’t just disappeared.

Hartnett is wonderful too. This movie is a real boon if you love “that guy” actors doing amazing work. This thing is FULL of em! In addition to Krumholtz & Harnett, there’s Clarke, Goldwyn, Blair, Modine, Dehann, gently caress the list goes on and on!!!

Prior to Penny Dreadful he also spent about a decade in Asia starring in a number of lesser known films in the region. None of them were especially good, but he was pretty good in them.

The first hour of the film felt extremely fast. Seemed as if the scenes were each a minute long, jumping across years of time at breakneck speed.

You've got a movie that requires a lot of different characters. Then you've got a lot of actors that would kill to be in a Nolan movie and actors that Nolan already likes and uses when possible.

Saw it again, this time at the Hollywood Theater in Portland. My big gripe is that I was expecting it to be in 70mm as it's one of the few spots in the state that can show it that way, but instead they were showing Orlando on their big screen.  I did appreciate this more as I knew who was who. This was more or less exactly like when I watched the 1st season of Game of Thrones with my friend who insisted we watch it immediately again. While it wasn't in 70mm the sound was actually really good & the design team should be given credit for when to drop out everything else for specific moments.

I really like the Casey Affleck casting. I've always found him to seem unsettling or weird, so having him play the psychotic commie hunter character who is poorly LARPing as a regular person was loving inspired.

Jewmanji posted:The character he plays, Pash, has a really weird biography. Definitely take a minute to read his Wikipedia. I enjoyed reading about his epic mission to chase down all the German nuclear physicists in the closing days of WWII, who were in reality a million miles from making an atomic bomb. But nobody knew that for sure, so it was in fact an extremely important mission. But really the Nazi atomic program had been given less than 1% of the amount of money that had been poured into the Manhattan Project, and it was calculated later that the Americans actually spent more money sending a special team in to capture all the Nazi nuclear scientists and their equipment than the Nazis had spent on their program itself. When Pash and his men got to the labs being used for their uranium experiments what they found was amateurish, university experiment-level stuff. Also after Pash had captured all those German nuclear physicists, the Allies wanted to ensure that they did indeed have a full and total understanding of how far the Nazi nuclear program had come, so rather than harshly interrogate them, what MI6 did was just take the ten most important ones, put them together in a house that had been bugged from top to bottom, and for 6 months just listened to them talk to each other. That gave them absolutely all the info they were looking for. Oh, I think they also intentionally supplied them with a bunch of booze in the house to get them more talkative. Funny stuff.

Once again proving that the greatest super power is just being gullible and having money. The US beat the USSR by believing all the hype and throwing money at making things they thought the USSR had.

This is also how the US ended up with something like 25,000 nuclear warheads in our arsenal by the late 60s though, enough to blow up the whole world dozens of times over. The assumption was always that the USSR had more nukes than they actually did and we needed to build more to keep up. Then when Soviet spies got an inkling how how many nukes the US was building, they legitimately started building more to keep up, and so on and so forth.
