Great excuse to see your side chick.
Film Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer'
- Thread starter Salt Bailly
- Start date
Such anticipation for a movie for which we know the plot. Love it.
Gonna be my second trip to the IMAX in eight days.

Can you hear the dialogue or does the music DUN DUN all over it?
feck that for a game of soldiers mate. It's hard enough keeping one happy, let alone two.
Looking forward to this.
Probably been said but This is going to be a big hit or either bomb.

Why would it be "the most important movie"?
Is it about bomb they are making for the future?
Boring as batshit and totally missed the human drama of the small ship armada doing repeated journeys to save people.

Films about past events can absolutely be relevant. What point are you trying to make?
this is the right answer. never seen a war film that was so devoid of emotion or human drama.
I am not making any point, I am just wondering why a movie about something that happened 100 years ago would be the most important movie in this century?
First time I'll be going to the cinema in a few months. Can't wait to watch it. Think i'm gonna have to do IMAX. Aside from Tenent, Nolan hasn't let me down yet
Not sure if serious.
Why would a movie about the worst man made event in history be an important lesson for the future and therefore an extremely important movie?
Nope, got me.
If I had to guess it would be because of Nolan using imax rather than the actual plot. Schrader is of course an incredible writer but he is also into film style.
But I could completely be wrong.
Place your bets on the general vibe of the movie.
I think it will be very similar to The Imitation Game in terms of writing, structure and atmosphere. Just turn the pace up 20%. It will probably be much more visually interesting though.

Hopefully it’s better than his recent films which have gone down several notches
Go tell me please then? Do you think it will help people make less bombs in the future?
Fair enough, I guess we will have to watch and see.
You can't be so obtuse, surely.
I went to the premiere last night. Good movie that makes you think. I rate it much higher than Tenet but It was just so fecking long.
Makes you think about what, though?
His numb arse, by the sound of things.
Just checked... 3 hours! I'll be sipping my drink then.
Less obtuse than people who use ridiculous superlatives just because it's Nolan. You can say the movie is one of the best ever, I would have no problem with it if I haven't seen it yet. But most important in this century? Give me a break.
Aye, saw it right after I'd seen 1917 and it was just such a boring slog by comparison. Definitely one I'll never watch again.
Movies for people who think.
Poor from Nolan to make a film that excludes 80 per cent of the caf
Feck me mate, films have massively impacted society and pop culture, Jaws was fecking horrendous for sharks and a kids Disney film actually had a profound effect on hunting, so much so that we have a term now coined the Bambi effect.
Watching movies regarding historical events absolutely can absolutely have an effect on society.
But sure, keep being obtuse.
When did exactly I say that films can't make an impact?
Are you going to tell me how exactly this movie is going to be the most important one in this century or are you going to continue call me names without actually answering to my question?
It is hard to call it the most important movie of the century when it’s not even the most important film released that day
Have you seen it?
I’m not no, a well reknowned screenwriter with 50 years in the industry and behind movies like Taxi Driver & Raging Bull has that opinion though and considering the subject matter, I can imagine why.
I haven’t seen the film myself mind to have an opinion either way, have you seen it? Because it appears you haven’t yet you bizarrely already hold an extremely strong opinion about it.
No, that's why I am wondering/asking how it could be that - the most important movie in this century. I am literally repeating the same question in every post, and yet you don't understand it. Quite rich of you to call me obtuse by the looks of it. I am genuinely asking simple question, because this century has had million of films, and I am quite sure many had far more important role in this world or even filmmaking.

Opinion, I was just asking simple question to which no one has answered yet. But yet many of you were baffled by that question for some reason.
It’s been answered plenty, because it’s a character/case study about the most horrendous man made event in human history.
And because movies can and do effect society, some of them (JAWS, Bambi) on a pretty grand scale.
No, that film was Tenet. Basically they have to stop a bomb going forward in time from going backwards in time, and to do this they have to go backwards forwards through time. But there's people going forwards backwards through time who want to not stop the bomb from not being stopped, because if it goes backwards backwards through time then it goes forwards and kabloowee, kablammo. Then the Americans built a nuclear bomb to stop things going forward and Oppositeheimer had a reverse-breakdancing non-competition with his backwards self, who is the opposite of Oppositeheimer. Best dance loses.
feckin' still pitching that idea to studio execs again. I think because of the writer's strike I might have a chance this time.
So you don't think even some average film like Contagion that actually warned people about possible pandemic is more important than character case study movie? Contagion is the first movie from top of my mind that I mention that was by the looks of it far more important than Oppenheimer.
