and yet now, everyone is talking about his role therein.

To be honest I don't know of any good movie last few years. Might be because I am getting old or something.
Uncommonly known factoid: movie ticket sales have been sharply declining for decades. We hit 'peak Hollywood' in 2002. [1] That's especially remarkable when you consider that the population has continued to increase since then. The 'record breaking sales' since then are mostly a product of inflation alongside a mix of price increases. Here [2] is a table of best selling movies, inflation adjusted. No movie made in th…

As someone with an interest in the history of physics as I'm sure many people here are, I didn't much like the film either. I liked the renditions of the different physicists and the overall arc of the story, but more like I'd be interested in a documentary. What's impressive about the movie is that they managed to create drama, artistry and tension in what's fundamentally something you can't really make a movie abou…
Calling Barbie a better movie because it's easier to watch is something I didn't expect to witness on HN.
(Well, the primary goal is to make money, but they do that by entertaining people.)

Why is Apple News relevant here? Has paywall as well
After all why use anything else! :)
PS I will keep using the archive links
Semi OT, but … wow. This is weird. As someone that never saw the movie, I didn’t know RDJ was in it. He wasn’t in the trailers I saw, at least not prominently: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uYPbbksJxIg and yet now, everyone is talking about his role therein.

Maybe you don't recognize him with all the makeup: https://youtu.be/uYPbbksJxIg?si=pk1SD4gnQTzxSlgI&t=161
I did not like this movie. That must be an unpopular opinion, given all the movie’s success. And specifically what I didn’t like was that the film makers could have gone in many directions in telling a story about Oppenheimer, but chose to make the RDJ villain central to the plot. The conflict in the film felt forced and unnecessary for telling a good story.

And I have the exact opposite view! hah
The Barbie movie felt like a series of clips to me. Not a coherent movie. I also dislike musicals, so maybe personal.
Also despite Oppenheimer being about The Manhattan Project, The Barbie movie felt "too american" for me with weird Twitter references to "The Znyder cut?". (How will that reference age in 2 years?)
Oppenheimer just feels like expertly crafted cinema. I truly got lost in it and the story. The first 20mins felt like 1h in a good way. Truly masterful.

He is 65.
Maybe stick to cartoons? Rick and Morty and Marvel?

If this is how the general public reacted to a movie like Oppenheimer, its impressive how well they actually did viewer wise.

> What's impressive about the movie is that they managed to create drama, artistry and tension in what's fundamentally something you can't really make a movie about because in the end it's just a story of some physicists that successfully accomplished something without anyone really opposing them in any material way. Feynman made it way more interesting in his book without needing to create fake villains! You could m…
Feynman has a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance in the movie. During one of the successful tests, there's a brief shot of a cheerful guy playing the bongos.
