I saw the film last night with my GF. We both enjoyed the film, but the background audio at times drowned out the dialogue, which was a bit frustrating.
I can see how Oppenheimer was conflicted - a research scientist who pursues his work to it's physical conclusion and then has to grapple with the moral ramifications of his work.
Nolan may have been rather unsubtle in his messaging, but you can clearly see the child-like naivety of the American politicians (and military industry) who desire the "biggest and shiniest toy" to show off. Not to mention their insane obsession with defeating communism at all costs.
Having been to both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, having stood at "ground zero" at both locations, having spent time in the museums and memorials to all the victims, I can firmly say that nuclear weapons should be destroyed and removed from the hands of the morons in charge of our countries.
