Featured reviews
To End All War: Oppenheimer &The Atomic Bomb, on the other hand, is a clearcut documentary with archived footage and a beginning to end, up to date history of what it meant to create a weapon of mass destruction, a feat of science, technology and human intelligence.
It touches on the morality and ethics behind the monumental project and the life of Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer after his famous achievement, revealing his complex nature and lifelong guilt.
A must watch in today's world, worth every minute of your time to watch a group of experts, Charles Oppenheimer - Dr. Oppenheimer's grandson and the Hiroshima bombing survivor and activists retelling one of the most important historical events and calling for peace.
"As long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost and science can never regress."
Exploring how one man's brilliance, hubris and relentless drive changed the nature of war forever.
After watching Nolan's Oppenheimer, this it an absolute must see, it is informative and full of ethical issues and philosophical ideas that you'll have during watching this documentary.
Isn't Oppenheimer one of the greatest scientists ever? Sure he is.
Is what he said about ending all war is true especially the nuclear war? Yes it is working so far.
Was it necessary to use it in that brutal way ? I think it shouldn't have been that way, it should have never used on people they could have demonstrate it differently .
And finally ,Is Nolan's movie is accurate? Sure it is!
This doc shows the respect and the fear of science and as have been said, Oppenheimer was a man representing both sides of it.
If you haven't fallen for Nolan's marketing gimmick and haven't seen his movie yet, my advice to you is, don't buy it. You won't lose anything. On the contrary, you will gain 3 hours by avoiding boring drama scenes. This documentary is way better than Nolan's bloated movie. If you are a fan of him, he is in this one too, being interviewed.
I have watched this documentary before watching Nolan's movie so I recommend doing it in that order if you want to see both.
It shows that the movie is very close to the truth and reality at that time.
Also original material is used and if you have seen the movie you will feel the closeness.
I know that Oppenheimer was a big smoker and that smoke looks like an atomic blast but sometimes it looks like Marlbro sponser this film.
I also dont get the way narrators tells the story in pices cut togheter, its no way they tell the story, they just read a script and pretending they tell it, cuiet usual in documentaries now a days but total unreal.
