#but please stop it with the misinformation espeically before the movie is even out yet

Considering that Oppenheimer is made by Christopher Nolan, the man so hardcore about historical accuracy that he got on Harry Style's ass for having his shoes laces laced wrong on the set of Dunkirk, I have no concerns about Oppenheimer being a propaganda piece like a lot of people are saying.

Also, if you have read American Prometheus, the biography that the film is primarily based on, you would know that the motivations around building the bomb, at least from the scientists' point of views, were far more complex than just "lol let's kill some people."

I don't want to say too much because I don't want to potentially ruin the film for anyone who wants to go in blind, but it is spelled out very clearly in the biography that Oppenheimer felt that the government very purposefully misled him about the situation in Japan. And that's just the first of many terrible things that the American government did to him, especially following the years after the bomb was made. There is a very minimal chance that the U.S. government is coming out of the film looking good.
