Oppenheimer was not as good as it was made out to be.
The plot was muddy and jumped around between multiple time periods and the dialogue was confusing at shit.
Cinematography and acting was beyond amazing though.
Nonlinear narrative is not necessarily a bad thing, and neither is complicated exposition.
Of course. And in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction it works extremely well. But here not so much. Unfortunately.
But here not so much.
Completely disagree with this opinion. The title of the movie is Oppenheimer. It would stand to reason that the film would include an introspective character study into the incredibly conflicted mind of a tortured physics genius.
In other words, it's bloody obvious that the narrative was going to get dense.
The nonlinear storytelling was a deliberate device used to build suspense regarding the two contradictory imperatives tearing at the man's morals, and I never once found the setting of any particular scene unable to be deduced by context.
This is like someone saying a book is bad because they don't understand some of the words.
All the things you mentioned were specific choices made, not failures.
