This summer’s blockbuster hit “Oppenheimer” promises to popularize a pivotal moment in world history, the decision to use the atomic bomb in World War II.
The film was about Robert Oppenheimer, not the politics surrounding the bombing of Japan which were only mentioned insofar as they affected the protagonist. At 3 hours, and following multiple timelines it was already a weighty piece of filmography. Following any more plotlines, no matter how noble and timely the subject, would have distracted from the film rather than added to it.
