    Oppenheimer

    This film feels like a three hour trailer for a much longer film; montage heavy and yet ponderous in tone. It's a dumb popcorn movie masquerading as serious arthouse fare. If one is interested in Oppenheimer (the man), watch the documentary The Day After Trinity instead.

    Hey, wait a minute... is this covert pedo shit trying to pass as feminist empowerment?

    For those who claim the Matrix Saga is a Marxist work; I just don't see it. It's clearly influenced by Baudillard (who was a Marxist early, but broke with Marxism by the time he wrote Simulacra and Simulation) who may share concepts with Marx (superficially) while fundamentally being a postmodernist. The film aesthetically may also share concepts with HK cinema (superficially) while fundamentally being a Hollywood product.
