  • From losing a oscar to a nolan film to winning a oscar in a nolan film! RDJ has come full circle.
  • Who's here after Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr both won Oscar (best actor and best supporting actor)?
  • The soundtrack.. ,the way they talk... this scene is absolute perfection.
  • @josep4259
    The way Oppenheimer is in denial and strauss just shows him the piece of data and it cuts to the next scene is pure bliss for me!
  • @david.cutipa
    These both just won 2 oscars. These scenes would likely become masterclasses in acting schools.
  • @col.nugget1524
    the video ends at the best part. the hard cut to chicago with the INSANE score. this is what movies are all about.
  • @LeeRenthlei
    As a history buff and a Nolan's fan, this is my favourite Nolan's movie.
  • @4747da
    The great thing about Murphy's acting is that he never broke from the phrasing and tone of voice he adopted, and even where his lines call for an arrogant demeanor, like when he downplays Thaler's designs , you can still sense the self doubt he has, knowing that there's another reason why he chose not to support the development of the H bomb
  • This scene really proof that RDJ isn't always being Tony Stark all the time and also the scene on his office where he rants about Oppenheimer and Einstein
  • I had a feeling these guys were gonna win their Oscar trophies from the moment I saw this movie.
  • @kylera2190
    Absolutely LOVE the sneer RDJ does at 1:07. This, and him ranting in the senate office about how he let Oppenheimer be the hero, is the only time his veneer as an upstanding person breaks. I do wonder if that was in the script, or RDJ improvised it
  • @kurtkurman604
    Opening night, this is the exact scene where i knew this movie was gonna win everything
  • @RaffyDGoat
    The soundtrack made the movie for me, so much tension throughout the entire film
  • @ingamedetails
    The dialogue in this film is crazy. Cause the film simultaneously happens across multiple timelines and at different points in Oppenheimer's life and the way it all connects and how the dialogue interweves across multiple points in time was like watching Inception again, but it's inception for something that actually happened.

    No VFX, no out of the world action, nothing, Simply dialogues, fantastic acting and intense BGM. In the era of MCU movies, surely this movie is a masterpiece.
  • @Lemmestarve
    That little detail Robert added to his character is perfect 1:07
  • @longochu8588
    Excellent music in the background - unstable, unresolved and repetitive (escalating).
