It is unsurprising then that Oppenheimer felt he’d been deliberately misled by the White House and Pentagon, once these facts became public knowledge. His post-war peace activism was directly informed not only by the devastating impact of the atomic bomb on innocent civilians, but the grand deceit by which his acquiescence to their use had been secured. Not that one would know that from Nolan’s cinematic telling. I fear that Nolan's celluloid fantasy that did not highlight Oppenheimer's misgivings over this grand deceit, is a prelude to get the west's population to love the bomb ala Dr Strangelove.
