      Also, what context do they come up in? Is there a sex scene? I bet there is. Now why does a film about atomic bombs need a sex scene.

        There is a sex scene, and yeah, it actually contributes to the plot of the film. It’s because it’s not so much just a movie about the atom bomb as it is a film about Oppenheimer.

          Ahh, that’s what I was expecting. Can’t have a biography without a sex scene it seems

            Heh, yeah. In fairness though Oppenheimer’s affairs with communists did contribute to his security clearance being revoked, so it is actually somewhat relevant here.

            It’s very rare to have a life without sex, so ¯\(ツ)/¯

            I thought it was very tastefully done, and contributed to the plot

              Hmm I suppose, I just feel like sex is a private part of peoples lives and I’m not really interested to see the intimate side of most people, including him. But as another commentrr said, it was quite important to the plot in the particular case of Oppenheimer

              Biographies should start at conception really, it’s the only logical choice.

              We should rethink a lot about documentaries in general, after all
              It’s very rare to have a life without toilet breaks, so ¯\(ツ)

              A lot of great ideas must have been made there of which it is not generally known, it is up to documentaries to address this lack of valuable knowledge

          I’m not surprised. Nolan does not permit for a single superfluous moment in anything he creates.

        Lots of movies suffer this issue tbh. Nolan isn’t unique. Why does a small underground movie about a day in the life of a plumber need sex scenes or a pizza delivery man? Makes it impossible to find a relatable protagonist tbh.

        I saw it yesterday. Can confirm that you see Florence Pugh as Jean Tatlock topless, clear as day for several seconds, and more than once.
