Solid movie . . . We get a villain at the end . . . Straws, former president of Princeton who was slighted by Oppenheimer, held a grudge, and plotted his downfall. Straws himself--nominated for a Cabinet post--gets taken down. Oppenheimer does lose security clearance; not involved in defense any longer; implication is that he spends the rest of his life (he died in his 60's of lung cancer) in unimportant pursuits, a figurehead receiving awards but not doing any real work, much like Einstein in his later years. Solid movie . . . surprising that it is so popular . . . serious and a downer.
PBS performance during pandemic. No live audience, filmed in a warehouse. Entire play was good, but the standout was Jessie Buckley as Juliet. Great performance.
