Oppenheimer : first impressions
===============================

I saw Oppenheimer today. It was truly a serious work or art. A movie that 
left me shaken.

It certainly lived up to the hype. I highly recommend seeing it, if you 
haven't already; and see it on a proper cinema screen. It is such a 
visually striking work, shot with IMAX cameras to produce an immersive 
experience. 

It however doesn't rely on the special effects to make a lasting impression 
on the spectator. It carries a profound anti-war sentiment informed by the 
immense tragedies of the 20th century. It is difficult to do justice to the 
entire film in a short comment like this. But I can certainly say that it 
successfully deals with a range of critical historical questions involving 
the war and its immediate aftermath.

The moment the film ended I knew that I wanted to see it again. 
Unfortunately, tomorrow is the last day here. I might not get another 
chance to see it unless I go again tomorrow.
