One part Great Man Theory with tons of navel gazing and genuflecting to a handful of star figures. One part Sorkin-esque courtroom drama.
Zero parts fun.
Three fucking hours long.
Don't waste your money on this shit bag, folks.

Movie theaters are too loud man. I forgot my earplugs and now my tinnitus kinda flared up.
Yeah the movie was boring. The whole third hour courtroom drama was weak and stupid.
At least communists looked kind of sympathetic.
Listening to Richard Feynman's lecture about Los Alamos is way more fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY-u1qyRM5w
Yeah, but then you have to listen to a sex pest that didn't even remotely mind helping build nuclear weapons.
Well maybe not at the time but he definitely talked about how he thought more deeply about it after the war
Man who helps invent death machine becomes a little concerned about the morals of death machines well after he's done making them. I despise Feynman for being an overall piece of shit, I'm not going to make myself care that he thought a little more deeply about it after the fact.
Got some links?
His Wikipedia entry is the best I can really suggest, mostly because it's been so long since I formed an opinion on mr Feynman to remember where I learned how odious he was. Here's the choice part of his life that I'm specifically referring to, about one of his memoirs. I'm just quoting wiki here.
This passage does not mention his particular affinity for attempting to seduce coeds at Caltech. Or secretaries. Or basically any woman that moved.
Thanks. With stuff like that it is often good to ask, since people might have good sources. For me I remembered him being a sexist, which is not quite the same as sex pests, but depending on power situation "flirting" with secretaries is abuse of power.
I was immersed in physics for a while, so I'm familiar with some of the less savory aspects of the people that often get lionized. Feynman in particular draws my ire partly because of how adored he is by users. I can't remember the provenance of this, but Feynman was known for always walking to lunch with the secretaries rather than has colleagues. I also recall that there was some more odious parts related to the quote I gave, more specifically about his relationships with undergrads while teaching at Caltech.
He was in Oppenheimer as the bongos guy

I arrived semi-intentionally 15 minutes late and I think I still had to sit through another 5-10 minutes of annoying ads I hate it
