'Oppenheimer' is actually a really interesting exploration into masculinity and gender. Bear in mind I've only watched the film once and my thoughts aren't entirely coherent but I wanted to share some.
Robert and Kitty's relationship is really intriguing and an insight into relationships and gender dynamics of the time. Kitty is suffocated by her kids and role as a mother but pushes through and sticks by Robert's side, not only because she's really loyal but because that's what women were expected to do. She's sacrificed a lot of her happiness and now her husband is a great man of history.
We see Robert Oppenheimer in a very emotional light, with close ups of Murphy's amazing acting really driving this home. It's good to see how someone in Oppenheimer's position would actually behave, and the stress and anxiety he feels is built into the film. At one point, Truman calls Oppenheimer a 'crybaby' and it really reminded me how important the obvious showing of Oppenheimer's emotions is in this film. Not only does it help us connect with him as a character, but it's acknowledging men's emotions and a fact that this male character can be and is vulnerable (which is an idea reinforced by the scenes in the board room).
Also just the general details, like the chemist arguing with another member of the team because he doesn't understand female anatomy and acts like she can't properly do her work. Really reminds you that it was a different time.
Sorry if none of this makes sense or if it seems a bit off, just what I took away from the film, especially because I saw 'Barbie' a few days before and that was very focused on gender as a theme.
