Christopher Nolan's film Oppenheimer focuses on the man himself and his distance from the violence of the atomic bombings. The movie doesn't show the bombings but instead highlights Oppenheimer's inner turmoil and diminishing power.
It appears to be due to the sensitive nature of the film's topic in the country where the atomic bombs J. Robert Oppenheimer helped build killed some 200,000 people in August 1945 and led to Japan's surrender in World War II.
As Einstein turns to leave, Oppenheimer calls his name. “When I came to you with those calculations,” he says. “We thought we might start a chain reaction that would destroy the entire world.” “I remember it well,” Einstein replies.
It focuses way too much time on Oppenheimer's pre-Trinity political activity and post-Trinity kangaroo trial without a satisfactory reason to do so. The 1st and especially the overly long 3rd act needed tighter editing and the movie would have been better for it.
Two years after Robert's death in 1967, Toni was rejected from a role in the United Nations as a translator. She struggled to cope with losing her father, and her job, and after living on the island of St. John for a while, she died by suicide in January 1977, just a month after she turned 32.

It wasn't until the last decade of Einstein's life, after the bombs had already dropped, the war had ended, and both physicists were at Princeton, that the two came to be "close colleagues and something of friends," Oppenheimer wrote in 1965.
Oppenheimer's IQ is 135. This estimation assumes he would be among the top 1% of living physicists during his era. The estimation follows the methods and assumptions utilized for Albert Einstein, offering a credible insight into Oppenheimer's intellectual caliber.
Most theorists peg Einstein's IQ score between 160-190. Because he never took any kind of test to measure his intelligence, the definite score is still a mystery.
Hiroshima was supposed to be targeted because, the city's size and layout made it a suitable test site for the bomb's destructive power, and the concentration of military and munitions facilities was another factor in the decision, while most of Japan's other major cities had already been destroyed by air attack at the ...
In 1958, the population of Hiroshima reached 410,000, finally exceeding what it was before the war. It is currently a major urban center with a population of 1.12 million people. Major industries in Hiroshima today are machinery, automotive (Mazda) and food processing.
Stephen Walton: "Hiroshima was selected as the first target as it was an important economic and military hub that had so far escaped serious air raid damage. When the Japanese surrender was still not forthcoming, Nagasaki became the second target.
Oppenheimer asks Einstein if he recalls when they worried a chain reaction from the bomb might destroy the world; Einstein remembers. “I believe we did,” Oppenheimer replies. Though the exchange came from Nolan's imagination, it really ends the movie with a bang. This article has been updated.
“He was losing weight for the role. I was looking at pictures, saying 'I don't think that Lewis Strauss is a really skinny, skinny guy. ' Then I saw the movie for the first time—and I'd lived with him through it, I'd seen some stills, and I was like, 'Oh, my God, I get it now. ' ”
Soon after his father died, Peter permanently moved to northern New Mexico to live at a residence his father had purchased years earlier, the Perro Caliente ranch, according to the AHF. According to the AHF, Peter still lives in New Mexico working as a carpenter and has three children: Dorothy, Charles and Ella.

You just don't go around bellyaching about it,” Truman said, according to the book Robert Oppenheimer: A Life Inside the Center by Ray Monk. He called Oppenheimer a “cry-baby scientist” and said, “I don't want to see that son of a b–– in this office ever again.”
Given his fascination with learning Sanskrit, it's commonly believed that Oppenheimer said, "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds" in the wake of the Trinity test.
Strauss was the driving force behind physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer's security clearance hearing, held in April and May 1954 before an AEC Personnel Security Board, in which Oppenheimer's security clearance was revoked. As a result, Strauss often has been regarded as a villain in American history. President Dwight D.
