Oppenheimer (2023)
CSPAN has more exciting Senate Confirmation Hearings
This movie has too much going on and not enough at the same time. The focus seems to be communism and a senate confirmation hearing rather than the reasoning and human impact of the bomb. The war is always far off and distant, the impact on Japan only briefly mentioned, and the real person we are to have sympathy on is the title character. Even the building of the bomb lacked the challenge and exploration that it could have. It could have been at least 30 minutes shorter and even shorter focused less on the communism angle. While it hinted at why the bomb may have not needed to be dropped, since the viewer is left with no understanding of the state of the war with Japan it feels like more of an intellectual discussion than an in the moment approach to bringing the world's worst war to a close.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Guardians and Gladiators (2020)
To Mask or Not To Mask
I can't tell if they had a mask protocol or not? Half the time they mask and the other half they're definition of social distancing is yelling at each other one foot apart!
If you're going to try to do current events you should attempt to be consistent!
Love: Shrooms (2017)
A Healing Episode
The ending of this episode was "beautiful". It is perhaps the first time in the series that you see their relationship having a positive effect on each other and their love being unconditional. Mickey's face practically melts as she realized that she is loveable. The whole scene was well done and captured the humanity of two individuals touched by real love (not the visceral physical sexuality that had been masking love up until this point). Great episode!
