How will history view him? A saver of life...(mutually assured destruction in the event of a nuclear war) or a reckless, genocidal maniac? Up to now I would call him a force for good. Let's forget about Japan, we won't mention that. But it only takes one chubby North Korean finger or similar for history, (if there is a subsequent history) to view him as curse on the human race. Which may be harsh, because somebody else would have invented the same weapon eventually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Which may be harsh, because somebody else would have invented the same weapon eventually. The power of the atom would have been unleashed eventually. The only question at the time was how to ensure we had the power too/first. It was an inevitability. I don’t think many would view him as a maniac. IMO nuclear weapons are the sole reason we haven’t had a third world war and conclusively ended the war with Japan years earlier than it otherwise would have. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not for everyone. I found it the right length for what they tried to cover in the plot. Seeing many of the fathers of modern physics in a big budget film was good.

Deliverance was a simpler more believable, better acted film imo. That said there's probably loads of 80s films I shouldn't rewatch lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
