Oppenheimer: The Real Story

This is almost word for word from Wikipedia - not very good research!! I was reading Wikipedia while watching the show and noticed the narration was nearly identical. I always was taught it was plagiarism unless you referenced your sources and researched on your own.

Would've been more helpful to research themselves and write using different sources.

The film and narration was somewhat boring and simple.

Since the Oppenheimer movie came out, it seems like there are more shows and documentaries coming on streaming about Oppenheimer. Everybody seems to be jumping on the bandwagon and it worked for me because I wanted to learn more about the real man before watching the movie as usually they take artistic license and add events that aren't real.

Disappointing and not well written or researched.

And would've appreciated a more known person as a narrator.

Ultra low budget documentary. Looks it was filmed with an iPhone and a crew of 2. Lots of historical footage and interviews with few people about the guy. The story was told well and was interesting and for a documentary it was too boring. My wife fell asleep in ten. It took me almost an hour. It did take me several more days to finish it Still I recommend the documentary before the movie. Good opportunity to refresh on historical events in chronological order and get the know the man biography. They could have told the story in an hour instead of ninety eight minutes. Or they could have made more effort to talk about similar programs overseas in comparison.

J. Robert Oppenheimer is an interesting subject and so this documentary is interesting. But the Talking Heads spout a lot of conjecture. Actual facts were in short supply. I think they interview only one person that actually met Oppenheimer and they had no knowledge or contact from during or before Los Alamos. Curious I don't recall them mentioning when he was married and had kids until towards the end that he started visiting the Virgin Islands with his wife.

This easily could have been edited to under 30 minutes (from 98) without losing any real content.

If you really are interested in the high points (they don't go very in depth) of Oppenheimer's life and do not know any more than the fiction movie than it might be worth a watch. Otherwise there are much better biographies of his found on YouTube.

With this coming out at the release of the wonderful feature film, the title falsely suggests that the real story wasn't told in the Nolan movie.

In comparison to the. Oboe and modern production standards this looks rushed out without enough budget and time to go a good job. The quality of the photography looks like something from the 80s, the audio is all over the place and the pacing of the script is lumpen.

The only thing extra that gives you as far as context on Oppenheimer. It is early life and his life after the slice of time featured in the movie. I really feel I've had 98 minutes stolen from me.

I love watching documentaries. This is not a documentary. It lacks facts and real insight. It is random speculation and innuendo. The people speaking seem to have no credibility or firsthand knowledge of Oppenheimer. I am embarrassed to have rented this movie. This could be "The Rocky Horror" of documentaries. It is so bad I made some toast and threw it at my TV!

The guy with white hair is laughable. It is just his opinion.

The bald guy with a beard says Oppenheimer was brutally abused at the Ethical School but then fails to elaborate. Story telling at its worst.

At some point, one of the people says no one can understand quantum physics. Really? Just stupid.
