Before delayed premiere in Japan, I'd long waited reading and re-reading the original book American Prometheus. Because the book full of anecdotes and captivating episodes is so enthralling that it made me long for the film. I've seen lots of stories beginning with the quote related to Prometheus, but this is the
most suitable one mainly because it deals with the fact that the advent of nuclear bombs has ever changed geopolitical / diplomatic / moralistic matters that have always been centered in our reality. And such reality depicted in the movie is continuously found problematic to this day.
Although it would be little tough to follow the multi-layered timeline and recognize a flock of sub characters, Nolan did successfully and beautifully focuses on Oppie's personality throughout the three hour long story. It was a little shame that some funny-but-well-describe-his-character episodes are simplified or entirely omitted. Nevertheless, I generally enjoyed it especially the final part where after Oppie realized the significance of what he had done he as a human is in anguish over the sin.
Some critics in my country complain that it does not face and the disastrous and beyond the words realities in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. However it does not necessarily mean that it ignore the hellish situations just because it does not visualize them. Nolan's brilliant implications about the sin and aftermath have enormously blown my mind and at the same time horrified me, because as it says, this was just the beginning of the new world, where we are living today.
