EAMONN'S DIALOGUE AND REVIEW IN BLACK
JOE-JACK'S DIALOGUE IN BLUE
HERR DOKTOR'S DIALOGUE IN SEA GREEN
?????? DIALOGUE IN AQUA
The Night of Mammie's Burial and Joe-Jack as the Village's Gravedigger had the sad Responsibility to lay his mother to rest. Eamonn took his friend back to his Home after the service. They hardly had time to fish for a key in their pockets, when they heard a voice from right behind them.)
Vy, Hello zere! We have being the waiting ver you both!
(Eamonn and Joe-Jack turned to see two Figures standing in the cool late spring Air. Both figures were in silouette, as the street lights were yet to turn on at 6pm. But they could make out what they are wearing.
The Figure that Spoke with a European, possibly German accent was dressed as a Plague Doctor, a tight button down shirt with an apron over it and a Canister of Some kind on his back. Hoses attached to the tank ran up each arm, ending with a long metallic nozzle, the pipe were held onto the arms by leather straps. His face was covered with a Bird Beak themed Mask, Possibly a Gasmask, but they couldn't make it out in the shadows.
The second, who's face was slightly illuminated by the Cigar in his mouth, was a Man in a Cowboy Suit topped with a Hat and a long overcoat. However, the length of the coat could Not disguise the two pistols in his Belt pouches.
Friends of yours?
Oh Yeah (!) I fink oi'd Remembah Quare lookin' hawks dat Luk lioke dat! Oi! Who da F**k are ya? Bit too early for Halloween ain't it?
Oh Ze Contrary, Mein Upvashed Simple Fellow, We are here to Bring Terror to Zis Quaint little Hamlet....Unless you are not in understanding of our demands.
So I reckon, You hand Over The Human Happening, while you still have Fingers to point him out!)
AND NOW, OUR FEATURED PRESENTATION!
THE FOLLOWING FILM IS RATED 15 FOR VIOLENCE AND LANGUAGE FROM A BYGONE ERA.
And Here It Is.
Whoever thought you'd ever see a Bone Fide 5 star Film, A Recent Powerhouse Run at the Oscars. While Some tried to make memes off this film, they could not. This film was too serious as it captivated Audience Worldwide.
EXCEPT FOR THIS IDIOT!
Yes Mister CRIME Hydration Corpse Poker famously said he fell asleep and had to be woken and told to leave by ushers because (With Apologies to New Yorkers Everywhere!) "DERE WOZ TOO MUCH THAWKIN', BRO!"
Or maybe L***n P**l was pissed that there wasn't any Dead Japanese in this film!
As Such there will be no Levity or attempts of Joke making in this review. This will be a serious Second by second, Frame by Frame Retelling of the Launch of the Manhattan Project, the End of the Second World War, and the Guilt felt by J Robert Oppenheimer in the years after.
Our Cover maybe the most powerful we've seen on this blog ever.
Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) Stands in front of his creation, Sparks, Smoke and flames emitting from the Bomb, Illuminating the Darkness, The light Catches the Face of Robert, who is not standing behind his creation with Pride, But with a Face Frozen in Fear, Shocked at What he has Done.
This film is actually filmed as 2 interlocking Chapters. Chapter 1, Fission, are scenes filmed in black and white, and are set during the Oppenheimer Trail in the viewpoint of Those who are against him, and Chapter 2 Fusion, which are Coloured Flashbacks of Oppenheimer's Life and Career told In the Story framing Device of a court testimony, as well as the Friendship and lovers he made along the way.
Fission is his creditability torn apart and Fusion about his bonds, has characters introduced at a Quick pace.
Very Clever!
The Film Starts In an University Courtyard, As Student of Physics J Robert Oppenheimer stares into puddles formed around the rain falling around him. Next we see Images of the Sun's Mighty power close hand from Space Satellite imagery, a caption appears retelling the legend of Prometheus-How The Fire God stole Fire and Gave it to Man, Only for him to be Punished and Tortured for all Eternity
This was an Inner Thought to years later when Dr Oppenheimer is to be put on trail, As Dr Oppenheimer reads a Statement, we jump forwards to an Interview of Admiral Strauss (an Unrecognisable Robert Downey Jr!) He's annoyed that people are still taking about Oppenheimer 5 years later.
Admiral Strauss Enters The Courtroom to testify, Knowing Full well, his soon to be Public Appointment to Eisenhower's Government will be Scrutinized.
Back to Robert, Speaking to a Pre-trial Committee, ( Which he thought, due to Guilt, were Judges) That he left America for Cambridge to Study under Dr Blackett in "The New Physics", When asked if he was Happier in Europe the Flashback starts, when he states "No!" Showing him in a Cot style bed watching the Rain and being Disturbed by images of Explosion and Space and waves of energy not yet Named Or Discovered! This Effected his Work as lack of sleep around Scientific Instruments can be dangerous. However the class is concluded because of a lecture by Nils Bohr, who is visiting the University, But not Oppenheimer, Doctor Blackett punishes him for his Clumsiness and Broken Equipment, He's to Clean up the Classroom.
He Does so, But Spying The Apple on Blackett's Desk, He injects it with Cyanide. He finally gets to Bohr's Lecture. Robert asks a Question (which we are not privy to). We cut to him having a dream-he even dreams in Energy, as well as a fireside and Horses, But when he Dreams the image of the apple as the School Bell tolls once, he snaps out of it-hopefully to correct his mistake before someone is Murdered.
Sprinting towards the Lab, he sees his tutor speaking with Dr Bohr (Kenneth Branagh). The Guest Speaker wanted to meet the Student, the only one who asked a Question, and was disappointed with his answer. But Robert is Nervous, as it's Bohr who has the Apple in his Possession.
Bohr Suggests Oppenheimer should leave Cambridge for Germany, taking Blackett's recommendation to study under Dr Max Born in Gottinghern, to learn Theory , since his Practical Work is not up to snuff. However Blackett tells Bohr his Student's Maths is not as good as it should be, However Bohr says that Algebra is like Sheet Music but it's not a Question of can he read the Music but wondering if Robert can hear the music being played. In other words, can he understand even if his body betrays his awkwardness? Bohr is about to bite into his apple, until Robert Grabs it and Bins it. He's Ready to take up Dr Bohr's Offer to study the New Science of Quantum Physics, even if it means revealing the snakes under the Stones he'll upturn.
Studying in Germany makes Robert Flourish as a student-Not only the classes but the Beauty and art Surrounding him Enriches his life and Understanding, however his Erratic Behaviour sees him not Socializing as his Visions increases as he works on formulas after formulas and strange habits like throwing glasses against the wall of his dorm.
We Cut to Strauss Testimony in the Future, where he is ask about meeting Robert in 1947, offering him the Head chair in the Atomic Energy Committee AEC) In Princeton College. Robert looks out the Window to a Duck Pond and sees "Him". Strauss wonders why "He" was never asked to be in the Manhattan Project after all the He in question- Albert Einstein was the Greatest mind of his time. Oppenheimer takes Strauss' comment and twists into an Insult "Of His Time" The two Physicists meet as they have a muted argument and Einstein walks away sadly. Strauss asks Oppenheimer what did he say to make Albert so sad, Robert scoffs and Doesn't say outright but he does say it was about "Past Allegiances", But he says he's more worried about the commute to his new job, as the Court interjects to to end the flashback, asking Strauss if he was Worried about said "Past Allegiances" and why he would consider Oppenheimer if he was briefed in advance of his past.
We See Robert in the Side-room With the Senators and Lawyers-Being asked about these "Past Allegiances"-Namely Russians, though None come to mind as he continues his story.
After graduating From Gottinghern, Robert became a Lecturer in Lerden, Holland, here he would meet Isador Rabi, A New York Physicist, after giving a Lecture in Dutch.
Now what's wrong with that, they are in Holland?
Well on the train Journey to Berlin, The Porty Amicable Rabi Exposits that Robert has only being in Holland for 6 weeks and has learned enough Perfect Dutch to give a Lecture- "As if Quantum Physics Wasn't hard enough!" Though he is shocked his fellow New York Jew Doesn't Know Yiddish. When Rabi asks if he feels if "Our Kind" Don't feel Welcome here, Robert coyly asks "Do you mean Physicists?" he tells him not to worry, half the Science chairs in Leiden are Jewish, Both Americans are on the train to Berlin to Study under Warner Heisenburg-Not knowing in the Future they will be Rivals. Robert is returning to America Soon, Not only to introduce what he has learned to American Student Fellow but to relax with his family in New Mexico, Despite his exhaustion, Robert Throws himself to Teaching at both Berkeley and Caltech, meeting a Mr Lawrence, who is building a Molecule Accelerator. Robert is teaching a single student-But soon the class blooms in number as he becomes Popular. But not without Controversy, as He leads an Anti-Franco Rally before the Spanish Civil War with the FBI Tailing Oppenheimer under Suspicion he was a Communist.
A paranoid Robert meets his brother Frank and Girlfriend Jackie, who are Communist Party Members who Invite Robert to a gathering as their guest. Here they meet Haakan Chevalier, a Speaker of Languages at Berkeley and also a Communist. Oppenheimer compares Fas**sm to Collapsing Stars-That Bought should be Studied from a distance, How a Person with sense should know they should destroy Everything, but as of right now there is no Proof, Just the Need to examine- ("All we have is theory-Which Doesn't effect people's Lives!") A woman serving drinks Interjects herself (Florence Pugh), she Introduces herself as Jean and Robert Notices her immediately, after sharing a few Barbs on how Commited the other really is to communism, they end up in bed together!
Straight after the act, Jean Peruses the Books on his Shelf.
She's Surprised to see Freudian Analysis amongst the books of his peers. He admits to once trying to kill Blackett, so he gained an interest in Curing himself rather than admit he had a problem. He is also learning Sanskrit and Jean asks him to translate a Passage, as she gets ready for "Round Two" He quotes Vishnu in the passage "And now I Have become Death, The Destroyer Of Worlds"
Sometime later, The Oppenheimer Brothers invited Lawrence to their Wyoming Ranch for Camping. When Frank announces he's to be wed to Jackie, Robert Disapproves Since Jackie had Influence him to Join the Communists. But Frank thinks it's a class issue, as Jackie is a waitress who comes from nothing. Frank Retaliates that he will not be like his brother, that he will live his life Not Being Afraid to make mistakes. Feigning an Apology, The brothers exit their tent to join Lawrence for some Stargazing. Robert wishes that there was way to combine Physics with his love of New Mexico. In the Morning the 3 men will climb a mesa Robert enjoys climbing it's name will soon be remembered in infamy: Los Alamos!
Returning to California, Oppenheimer and Jean are seeing each other, Much to Jean's Annoyance on Robert's new found Romance. As they walk along, they spy One of Robert's Students Álvarez running off with a unpaid Newspapers. He ran out because he couldn't believe the news. The Germans have split the atom. Despite Robert writing a thereon Proving it impossible, Álvarez just replicated it in the Accelerator. He figured out how they did it, by Destroying atoms and using that energy to destroy adjacent atoms, and so on, a "Chain reaction". Robert Realized "As did every Physicist in the world who read this" Knows what Heisenburg's research means
"THE GERMANS ARE MAKING A BOMB!"
PART 2 LAUNCHES NEXT WEEK!
