To End All War: Oppenheimer & the Atomic Bomb

To End All War: Oppenheimer & the Atomic Bomb.

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.

It starts out decent enough, mostly the usual history and beginnings college life and early politics.

Then all of a sudden Bill Nye shows up and starts speaking and it completely ruins any authenticity of this program. Why on earth is he chosen to spout off a few lines. He adds nothing, has zero scientific credentials and severely compromises the subject matter by attempting to describe how to make a nuclear bomb work. Mickey Mouse would have been slightly better.

Overall you can fast forward through most of this and not miss much. 4/10 as it's nearly all interviews and a few spots of information.

Even structure wise it is beat by beat addendum to Nolan's film if you want to see beautifully upscaled pictures from the era.

Essentially it does the trick and clarifies things that are included in American Prometheus book but skipped in the movie like Oppie's extremely bourgeoisie early life and his stubbornnesses on his compulsive need to convey his genius to everyone. Also literally hearing things from the experts make you feel more knowledgeable on the area even if you just saw the exact thing in the movie.

People who hated the movie will not find anything of worth here but its recommended if you want to spend more time with oppie.

I knew there were two 2023 Oppenheimers to watch and it was a matter of what I choose first. The Christopher Nolan's 3 hour creation did not live up to our expectations with muffled dialogue and a completely nonlinear depiction of events.

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."

Good and interseting film but its more about the movie Oppenheimer than Oppenheimer himself.

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.
