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.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
