Oppenheimer in chronological order is a mistake. I edited Oppenheimer into chronological order, putting all of the real-life events shown in Christopher Nolan’s film into the order they actually happened to make CHRONOL-OPPENHEIMER. I did this as a film-making and storytelling exercise and in doing so I ruined the entire masterpiece Christopher Nolan made with Oppenheimer, and you shouldn’t watch it. But if you insist, then watch the video and follow the link below.
🎞️ Oppenheimer is a 2023 epic biographical thriller film written and directed by Christopher Nolan. It stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American theoretical physicist credited with being the "father of the atomic bomb." The film chronicles the career of Oppenheimer, with the story predominantly focusing on his studies, his direction of the Manhattan Project during World War II, and his eventual fall from grace due to his 1954 security hearing. The film also stars Emily Blunt as Oppenheimer's wife "Kitty", Matt Damon as head of the Manhattan Project Leslie Groves, Robert Downey Jr. as U.S. Atomic Energy Commission member Lewis Strauss, and Florence Pugh as Oppenheimer's communist lover Jean Tatlock. 🎞️

Well the characterisation of lewis strauss is why non linear story structure of oppenheimer worked really well. We first think strauss is just a random friendly guy with oppenheimer as strauss qoute him as some legend, then slowly builds him as an asshole villain, the reveal of him giving the files to the lawyer roger robb was showcased as a plot twist and it works well. And then you would really hate him, robb and that makes the loss of his senator's seat much satisfying.

@PentexProductions 5 ай бұрын

Agreed, I think Strauss is essential for the original movie to work. When his scenes all get bunched at the end of the narrative like they are in the chronological edit, they lose a lot of that impact - mostly because we have already seen the Borden / FBI file twist before Oppy's interrogation, so by the time we get to the Senate hearing there's no mystery there, and that whole time we see him in a negative light, rather than in the movie where it is slowly teased out like you say. But it is still satisfying seeing him get justice served! That moment where he realises "they're not convicting, just denying" is just poetic justice at its finest.

To be honest, I never saw Strauss as a hero or a villain, but a flawed man who’s pride is getting the best him. Not to mention, the movie does go to lengths, to show that it would be foolish to just place this all on Strauss’s shoulders, and relieve Oppenheimer of his own actions.

@@osmanyousif7849 I agree. Oppenheimer, while brilliant, had his own flaws. Plus, with his connections with people who were in the Communist Party at various points in their lives likely would have resulted in his security clearance being revoked due to how the 1950s were regarding communism in America, but due to being humiliated publicly by Oppenheimer, Strauss waited for the opportunity to get back at him and did so by ensuring his security clearance would be revoked by setting things up for everything to end up the way they did. No doubt he believed he did what was right for the country, though looking from the perspective of the modern day, he didn’t need to really do anything as again, Oppenheimer’s security clearance may have gotten taken away regardless due to his connections with those who were in the Communist party at one point in their lives, such as his wife, brother and sister-in-law.

A bold claim, but not an unreasonable one. I'd have to think long and hard before categorically agreeing with you (even within Nolan's catalogue I think The Prestige gives it a run for its money), but it is definitely a very powerful tool here, and used exceptionally well. Off the top of my head, the way 'Arrival' used non-linear storytelling for it's twist was brilliant, even if the movie overall is told relatively linearly, and I think The Social Network is also a strong contender. Come to think of it, TSN is similar Oppenheimer in the way it uses the non-linear story and dual-interrogation framing devices to enhance the characters and story. It also has a banger of a soundtrack....

This also shows why the Strauss storyline was extremely necessary. The interrogation is needed for exposition to stitch together the various parts of Oppenheimer's life, and it ends off with A) us not knowing who sabotaged Oppenheimer in the first place and B) us thinking that whoever it was just got away with it and justice never came around. Both of which are just historically inaccurate and would contradict the theme of the entire movie which is that theory will only get you so far, and what goes around comes around when you step into the real world. Brilliant movie.

@PentexProductions 5 ай бұрын

I agree, I think his story adds a lot to the main narrative, and disagree when people argue it should be taken out. It works as a framing device, but its also a window into how the politics of the world had changed in the years since the war. His story very much has a place in the movie - it's just less effective when moved to the end (but still satisfying to see him get his just desserts). Also the fact that the actual historical person was petty enough to go through all of that just to spite Oppenheimer is just bizarre! When people claim it's not realistic or whatever it reminds me of people who though the ending of Apollo 13 was unrealistic. It's history, this actually happened! I think John Green said the difference between writing fiction and non-fiction is that fiction has to make sense.

A lot of people tend to gripe over Nolan's use of non linear storytelling, stemming all the way back in Memento and even used in Batman Begins. But here, you really see why it can work in the right hands. It's not about how often a trope is used; what makes a trope or filmmaking technique cliche is when it doesn't feel fresh. And _Oppenheimer_ made non linear storytelling feel entirely unique. That's hard to do. But this film tells us in the right hands, any trope or technique can feel unique.

@jesustovar2549 5 ай бұрын

Non-linear storytelling it's been a thing since before Nolan, there were already back-and-forth stories that might have been hard to follow at first, like The Godfather Pt. 2 and Once Upon A Time in America, imagine them chronological. I argue that Nolan's Batman movies are the most straightforward, and probably the most accesible to common viewers.

@alonzowurlitzer5617 4 ай бұрын

For me, Nolan went way to far. Non-linear, fine, but why also make the average scene length thirty seconds? He jumps around way, way too often. It seems like there's a time-jump every minute. It really, really took me out of the film and made it very hard for me to engage with the story and characters. Nolan has completely dispensed with trying to engage the audience and just wants to bamboozle them. And the dialogue was often very artificial-sounding. A hugely overrated film and a massive misstep for my favourite director.

Actually, after seeing the the extended cut, I can't say that it's AS good as the original cut, but I can't say it was bad either. Even at the security hearing, it still felt immersive rather than just a series of chronological clips, because you watch it as if you're your own entity that's watching over the whole world through the 20's to the 60's instead of an invisible friend that's always beside the protagonist and the antagonist (Oppenheimer and Strauss). You may be biased to whoever the main character is at one point, but overall you still have your own individuality as a viewer of the entire timeline, which is a perspective that works extremely well in this and something I don't think any movie really has. Incredible find you by man, great job!

The structure of the movie allows us to examine Oppenheimer’s life almost like a physics experiment. When you look at something on a particle level, you begin to see all kinds of contradictions and paradoxes of its nature. The same is true of good storytelling: We look at Oppenheimer from one way, where he may be a hypocrite or a fool, one minute he feels pride in what he’s done, the next he feels shame. Is he a war criminal, or a martyr? Did he feel guilt over what he did or was it just his ego? It’s paradoxical, and yet it works. Matt Zoller Seitz’s review of Oppenheimer explains this a lot better than me, strongly suggest you read it.

Decided to go for the sillier, if clearer name :) And thank you so much for sticking around the channel for so long! I was just reflecting today how wild it is to have just passed 60,000 subs.

7:09 THIS. this detail right here is a layer about this film i discovered on my 5th rewatch (every rewatch brings new findings!) the fact that through strauss’ perspective, oppenheimer was simply standing there, noticeably unbothered, and is very approachable with strauss. yet from oppenheimer’s perspective, he is living in an endless moment, seeing the imaginings that horrify him, standing still in time, trying to avoid the future at all costs. i think seeing the scene from strauss’ perspective shines a perfect light onto the subjectivity of the colored scenes. the things that robert is emotionally experiencing are visually illustrated for us, the audience, to see along with him, yet from an outsider’s point of view, oppenheimer is simply a supporting character to their protagonist. anyway i love this movie and love your effort in this! i will definitely NOT watch chrino-oppenheimer 😉

I did a similar thing with _Birds of Prey._ Basically the real movie is: Harley Quinn gets in trouble with a mobster, and he pressures her to go steal a diamond off a criminal Harley drunksplains her issues at Black Canary and she feels for her > Black Canary loses the diamond > mobster makes Harley go get it > all the benching plotlines and characters bump into each other in real time at the end and decide to make the mobster piss off. _Still a bullshit movie,_ but the exercise taught me that the achronology hurt the movie more than help it, and the needless jumping back and forth just distract you from the fact that half the movie's plotline has massive gaps in its logic. Why does mobster need Harley's help finding the diamond when he already knows where it is? DON'T KNOW. How does _Harley_ figure out its in the jail when during the bargain he somehow _doesn't?_ DON'T KNOW. Why does the mobster proceed to send in a bunch of bounty hunters INTO THE JAIL to kill Harley anyways after he JUST let her go? DON'T KNOW. The movie relies on the audience not remembering what happened in the other chapter, and putting it back in chronological order clarifies that, no, it NEVER made sense, and no, the context doesn't help. The chronological version was still an improvement, though. Because for a solid 5 minutes you think it's gonna be a likable odd-couple team-up of goblin-mode Harley and jaded bruiser Black Canary bonding over guy trouble, but then the story just kinda fucks off into vague Saint Row reboot-looking-ass bullshit with the racist thief girl. Bumblebee was better.

Funnily enough, this highlights the problem I have with the end of the movie. The emotional weight of that scene only works with the following decades of information that Oppenheimer himself didn't have. In fact, at this time in his life, he was rather gun ho about nukes. He just thought they needed to be controlled by scientist through the UN. Oppenheimer never regretted the creation of the bomb and never regretted it being dropped on Hiroshima. He did have questions about the necessity to drop one on Nagasaki but never condemned it. And worse still, his falling out with Strauss had nothing to do with a fictional conversation with Einstein. They had severe disagreements over the H bomb. This led Strauss to undermine Oppenheimer whenever he could, ultimately leading to Openheimer's security clearance being revoked. Strauss failure to get confirmed had more to do with his animosity toward Democrats than his dealings with Oppenheimer. However, that did play a role, though nothing like what happened in the movie. So the whole scene doesn't work for me. The emotional weight hasn't been earned, and most of the scenes with Strauss, which rely on this scene, are mostly fiction.

@Treblaine 5 ай бұрын

Oppenheimer was opposed to Fusion bombs being seriously developed even in 1949 when it was found the Soviets had developed nuclear bombs. Though initially his opposition was purely practical. The film is not too extreme in its speculation that Oppenheimer's fear of the eventual consequence of nuclear war was apparent even in the 1947 Princeton meeting which was why he was reluctant to start an arms race with the Soviets in 1949. He could see the inevitable next logical step, the Soviets too would make thermonuclear weapons and each side would make more and more.

MI and John Wick both have great scores, for sure, but for me Spiderverse and Oppenheimer are on a whole other level. Each to their own though (to be fair, nothing quite gets me amped for a movie like the Mission Impossible theme). Thanks for watching :)

I love Nolan’s dreamy, emotional way of telling a story. He’s almost like an impressionist painter. I often feel like Im remembering a dream. However, the non-linear storytelling is starting to get old.

Doing a historical movie and literally making it all chronologically of course will be boring, you can make it chronological but STILL keep flashbacks or afterthoughts to show a character realising something after the fact without compromising storytelling. Your version WOULD still work if you did it with that ending moment still in place at the close of the movie, but also with that moment being intrusive throughout the movie - that moment is so effective as an ending to the theatrical cut because it’s so pivotal in Oppenheimer’s life. It should intrude into his thoughts at moments throughout the movie because it should be on his mind and be so intrusive as to occupy his thoughts unwanted because if that moment had not happened he wouldn’t have made the decisions he did. Not exactly a regret, but a lingering ‘what if…?’ Of quantum mechanics. You could even start the ‘chronol-oppenheimer’ cut with him receiving his award and then cut to that moment before starting the story right back at the beginning, so it would play out as the entire movie being Oppenheimer thinking back on his life and everything that led up to that moment. You could even end the opening scene with his wife not accepting the handshake, setting up the wuestion of why to the audience before the reason is revealed throughout the movie. Chronological does not need to be taken literally.

There is a way to share fan-edits in a way that would be completely legal but it is complex. Basically, you would share an ffmpeg script that would execute commands that would transform a base version of the movie (like a Bluray dump) into your fan-edit. The reason why this is incredibly complex is because a good fan-edit is piece of art itself making lots of small changes in a WYSIWYG editor and producing this kind of script would require noting all these changes down and reproducing them as a sequence of commands for a much less approachable piece of software. Unlikely but possible.

Any movie by Chis Nolan, u can ruin it by simply putting it in linear order. Cuz Nolan films are all about the viewer's attention which is almost completely controlled by pacing. His characters are always doing a lot of things in a very short amount of time.

I completely disagree with you. Non-linear stories can work well but the time jumps in Oppenheimer are way too frequent and encompass too many periods, to the extent that they stopped me from becoming invested in the story. Trying to tell four stories at once, and not all of them very compelling, is not a way to get emotional engagement. It's a triumph of style over substance. Worst film I've seen for a long time.
