Why is Oppenheimer the favorite of the American government?
Oppenheimer is trying to say that if the atomic bomb was made, it was to maintain order and “please do not misuse America's arsenals!” Oppenheimer actually reflects the idea of "civilization versus savagery."
J. Robert Oppenheimer is the name of the "Father of the Atomic Bomb" and Christopher Nolan wrote and directed a movie about his life called "Oppenheimer". This film was released in 2023 and was nominated in 13 categories at the 2024 Oscars, while winning 7 Oscars.
Nolan delivered everything he wanted at the beginning of the film and tried to flesh it out throughout the rest of the film.
The pages of history are full of crimes committed by America against the people of the world thanks to some scientific developments. Basically, America believes in power and deterrence is also considered in this regard. Of course, this movie shows very well that science serves the production of American power.
When you look at the story of Oppenheimer's film from above, you can clearly see the conflict within American society, but what is the nature of this conflict? A politician and a scientist have fundamental differences with each other; Nolan depicts a society where politicians drop bombs and scientists create bombs!
The bitter and regretful days of American scientists and the policies of politicians explain the type of America's strategy to rule the world, and for victory it is considered "inhuman action" and this is a bitter but true strategy.
Oppenheimer's film attempts to show that it is bad for politicians to abuse their positions in the pursuit of power, but that no one should suspect the nature of the atomic bomb and those who built it. Because this bomb saves the lives of soldiers and prevents the continuation of the war!
According to them, scientists have an important task, the task of inventing and advancing, and the politician must make up his mind.
Of course, no one asks, how do you calculate the value of human life? Or why, years later, no one apologizes for this tragedy? According to them, there are always some savages in the world who should accept the new order, but since they did not accept it, we put them in their place!
This study repeatedly emphasizes that you need to know this new order, that this new order is not moral and humane, but calculated. As accomplished as Oppenheimer is, he's not here to entertain you.
The film is so complex that it is a convoluted story rather than entertaining for the outside audience, but Nolan manages to take you into the labyrinth of the narrative, engage in many conflicts, disrupt one order and create a new order.
Oppenheimer's film, in response to all the criticism of the international community, wants to finally call American bombs "necessary"! In their view, there is always a foreign threat that a self-made America must contend with.
Even when the Germans are defeated on the battle front, this process does not stop until the atomic bomb is dropped on the Japanese people as a weapon of mass destruction.
At every moment of the film, you see that the atomic bomb project is mentioned as a "scientific success" and that the Soviet Union is being re-established against this "necessity"!
In a well-reported part of the film, Oppenheimer tells the President of the United States: "I feel like I have blood on my hands." and this issue is the emphasis of the same calculating, detached mind that wants to save the world and establish peace, and you are faced with the answer that the atomic bomb is a scientific tool, and the American president dropped it on Japan in a real war, and no one is upset or worried about it.
Finally, the film comes to the point that this weapon should not be in the hands of the countries of the world as a weapon, in fact it emphasizes the following proposition: "If we now have the atomic bomb, it should not be in the hands of others."
In Oppenheimer's film, there is a weapon dangerous to everyone:
The art of legitimizing disaster; An art that legitimizes the simultaneous killing of hundreds of thousands of people with complex equations and sees this inhuman massacre as the path of humanity and development; As Oscar said, Art shows that he loves this topic and what happened in Los Angeles on Monday morning.
