有剧透，本人认为不影响观影体验，对于时间线的梳理可能还有助于观影。

非线性穿插叙事四大事件：

1. 1924-1945 欧洲留学到回美国任教（Berkeley）到Los Alamos（New Mexico）制造原子弹（1942-45）Trinity （July 16, 1945），日本广岛和长崎（August 6, 1945）

2. Nov. 1945 接受Strauss 任命担任Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton) 主任（戏份很短，但与爱因斯坦的池塘边交谈成为首尾呼应的亮点）

3. 1954 hearing on renewal of Oppenheimer's security clearance by the Atomic Energy Commission

4. 1959 Senate hearing on Strauss to become a Secretary of Commerce

彩色的是Oppenheimer（主观）视角(by Cillian Murphy)，黑白的是Strauss（客观）视角(by Robert Downey Jr.)，因为非线性叙事，黑白和彩色穿插，所以观影期间是有些混乱的，加之没有字幕，理解台词最多70-80%。The world we live in is so damn complicated, especially when politics and national security are taking center stage.

“The greatest scientific gamble in history” (President Truman’s statement): Three years, 4000 scientists, and two billion dollars at Los Alamos (the whole Manhattan Project over 120,000 workers) 曼哈顿（原子弹）项目：三年（1942-45）, 四千科学家，20亿美金

～200,000 civilian deaths after the bombing in Japan (1945), potentially saving thousands of lives through ending the war early -- both civilians in the Allied countries and soldiers in both Allies and Axis. 日本广岛长崎近20万死亡，但可能拯救了成千上万的平民与士兵

Genius, womanizer, scientist (theoretical physicist), project manager, politician, 像谜一样的人，"the troubled, tortured, and tremendous mind of Oppenheimer"

对人物的刻画是客观的，克制的，但有时又极为突兀，所以我不觉得Nolan实现了他要展示Oppenheimer内心的初衷。色彩，光线（炫目的白光等），声音的运用是大胆的。

但我觉得IMAX 70 mm 不一定很值得，视觉特效不多 – 35mm够了。Dolby 全景声很值得。

我不是诺兰迷，也不是墨菲粉，作为普通观影者，总体评价是：

这不是一部杰作，但肯定是一部好电影。It is not a master piece, but definitely a good movie. How can it not be when we are watching a film about the brilliant and complicated character of Oppenheimer and “the most important fucking thing to happen in the history of the world” (in the angry words of Lieutenant General Leslie Groves Jr. by Matt Damon) made by arguably the greatest contemporary director?

Oppenheimer later recalled that, while witnessing the explosion, he thought of a verse from the Bhagavad Gita (XI,12): "If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky,
that would be like the splendor of the mighty one." 一千个太阳同时在天空迸射的光芒，如同全能者的荣耀

Oppenheimer in a 1965 interview: “I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.” 现在我成为死亡，多重世界的毁灭者

As my son put it so poignantly, “it is all about consequences; consequence of injecting poison into an apple, consequence of having an affair (and how it affected witnessing in the hearing decades later), consequences of building the bomb, dropping the bomb … …” 这部电影是关于结果（后果）的。我们的行为所产生的结果可能要多年以后才能显现。

I thought to myself, “right, it is all about consequences. But the world is too damn complicated as it also depends on whose consequences you are considering.”

The next day after watching the movie, upon reading Nolan’s remarks, “The whole film is about consequences – the delayed onset of consequences that people often forget. You are not necessarily confronted with the strongest or worst elements of your action in the moment.” (https://www.vulture.com/article/oppenheimer-christopher-nolan-cillian-murphy-behind-the-scenes.html)

I think Nolan has achieved his purpose as someone with a sharp mind understood his primary intention in producing this film.

"I do not see this movie as focusing on his moral dillema but more as an ego struggle: How he sees himself, how others see him, how the world sees him and how he thinks or wants the world to see him."
