James Cameron calls Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer a ‘moral cop-out’

I forgot, every movie has to show every aspect of every situation it uses.
There was a reason the movie was called Oppenheimr, and not Hiroshima, and why the overarching theme was about the political fallout of his career. It was a bio-pic about Oppenheimer. The reason it didn't go into detail about the literal fallout of the bombs is because that's not what the movie was about. There's plenty of documentaries and movies that are about that. If that's what you want, go watch them.
Or make (and advertise) them, like Cameron.

The whole movie is about a man that was so focused on if we could he never thought about if we should and the guilt that comes from learning too late.

It's not moral cop-out. The movie is a bio-pic about about Oppenheimer not about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Why is this so hard for people to get.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I don't understand the west and the comments here. I'm pretty sure a movie would be called anti semetic if it was a Hitler's Biopic that only focuses on him and not the victims. Somehow killing millions of civilians can be glossed over as long as they are not jews.

Did you watch the movie? He literally had moral qualms about what he ended up doing. There's a scene where he's accepting an award or something and all he can see and hear is the screams of the dying civilians his bombs killed. He got called a pussy by Truman because he felt that guilt. It didn't go into extreme detail, but it 100% covered it... from the perspective of the person the movie was about.

Ok? I never said otherwise. I'm talking about the comments saying not everything is about every single thing.

So you're pissed that it didn't cover every thing, but you don't understand why other people don't think the same way you do, got it.

Not really. I'm just pointing out hypocrisy and double standards held for the US. What exactly are you adding to the conversation?
