    Also, what context do they come up in? Is there a sex scene? I bet there is. Now why does a film about atomic bombs need a sex scene.

      There is a sex scene, and yeah, it actually contributes to the plot of the film. It’s because it’s not so much just a movie about the atom bomb as it is a film about Oppenheimer.

          Heh, yeah. In fairness though Oppenheimer’s affairs with communists did contribute to his security clearance being revoked, so it is actually somewhat relevant here.

        I’m not surprised. Nolan does not permit for a single superfluous moment in anything he creates.

      Lots of movies suffer this issue tbh. Nolan isn’t unique. Why does a small underground movie about a day in the life of a plumber need sex scenes or a pizza delivery man? Makes it impossible to find a relatable protagonist tbh.
