On the NoseThe Jewishness of “Oppenheimer”Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed new biopic about the physicist who oversaw the invention of the atomic bomb, is the rare mass-market feature film that depicts the complexities of the US left during and after World War II. As the movie shows, J. Robert Oppenheimer was closely affiliated with Communists in his early life; his forays into left-wing politics included sending funds to the Spanish Republicans through the Communist Party. These relationships and activities eventually led to Oppenheimer losing his security clearance during the second Red Scare, and the hearing where this occurs is central to the film. Throughout th...

Robert Oppenheimer, 1904~1967）在第二次世界大戰期間，參與著名的「曼哈頓計畫」研發原子彈，以及他在二戰後因被懷疑是共產黨員而遭到政府調查的故事。 根據克里斯多夫諾蘭本人描述，本片係因在拍攝上一部作品《天能》期間，受演員羅伯派汀森所贈與的奧本海默演講稿啟發，並根據2006年由卡伊柏德（Kai Bird）和馬丁J.舒爾文（Martin J. Sherwin）所合著的《American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer》（美國普羅米修斯：羅伯特奧本海默的勝利與悲劇）傳記小說改編，將奧本海默令人讚嘆、感慨、驚奇的一生搬上大銀幕。 . 本片在2023年07月21日美國臺灣同步上映，上映前後皆獲得媒體和觀眾們的好口碑；總計180分鐘的片長，塞滿大量資訊讓不少人大喊吃不消，片中出現不少科學界著名的人物角色，也在劇情中創造出畫龍點睛的效果。而克里斯多夫諾蘭一向熱衷的「非線性敘事方式」，即並非按照直線的時間軸推動劇情，而是將過去、現在、未來的影像時空打亂重組，透過今昔交錯的時間線來呈現《奧本海默》，確實也讓不少人困惑本片的劇情究竟是怎麼一回事。 在本次節目中我們再度邀請歷史好朋友，金老ㄕ、馬雅人、時空調查局老A，一同詳細解析《奧本海默》電影中所提及的歷史事件、人物故事，以及相關的科學知識吧！ . 電影看點【1】奧本海默的故事時間線 本片電影開頭係以彩色畫面的1954年奧本海默安全聽證會（該會議實際上是秘密進行，在2014年美國能源部才公布完整的聽證會文字記錄），以

Robert Oppenheimer aus mehrere Perspektiven zu zeigen. Wild springt Nolan in der Zeit hin und her, ein beeindruckendes Star-Ensemble fügt sich in die Ästhetik ein, die vor allem aus Großaufnahmen besteht. Vor allem zwei Themen stellt Nolan in den Mittelpunkt: 1. Welche Verantwortung haben Wissenschaftler? 2. Welches Verhältnis hat der Staat zu seinen Bürgern – und umgekehrt? Der Vater der Atombombe erscheint in diesem Film in all seiner Zerrissenheit, aber ist kein filmisches Denkmal, kein psycholo...
