We just completed the Barbenheimer film festival. We watched the Barbie Movie yesterday and we watched Oppenheimer today.
Wow. What a movie.
I had a really hard time with some of it. When I was a kid I was terrified of nuclear weapons to a degree that I am nearly embarrassed by. I know we all were. It was the early 80’s and the end of the Soviet Union was unimaginably far away, but something about nuclear weapons both fascinated me and terrified me and left me confused and scared and basically a mess throughout my teen years.
Watching this movie brought all of that back to me and hammered me right in the face with it.
Yeah… Oppenheimer was hard for me to watch. I am very glad I did though. Let that be your spoiler free review. Go see it.
Inside the Red Head's Head 
I did, and I thought it was awesome! So were Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey, Jr.

I really liked it. And even though we obviously know how the story ends, I was amazed it, how much tension built up to that moment when they were going to first test, the atom bomb. I know, it had a lot to do with the frenetic music, but still.
