Oppenheimer is not just the best motion picture of 2023 (yes, there is still The Killers of The Flower moon, Maestro, and the recently released on Netflix May December to be seen, and they will be among the best, but number one is still undisputed) but a phenomenon and will remain in history as a landmark.

 

Which is why this is a second note on the subject –the other one is at the link above – following after a spoiler alert, warning, disclaimer all wrapped into one – these lines are not interesting, leave before you feel you write a report ad I have Goodreads telling me this is ‘spam’, which they did for Cleo from 5 to 7

Thus, I keep posting the link until I get tired or canceled for good and all, because this is so god damn unfair http://realini.blogspot.com/2023/07/cleo-from-5-to-7-aka-cleo-de-5-7-by.html since I told them about this Goodfella, Socrate, who dominates the charts in our republic, where he is Number One on Goodreads, with a good many thousands of ‘reviews’, which are Absolutely False, he just copies texts.

 

Then he puts online some hundreds per day (it is clear this is some sort of ‘human machine’, which is just out there for the undeserved top spot, and they used to check to see if you are a robot) without any single letter that belongs to him…this is not to say that what one could read (but better not, there is your second warning here) such sage, informative, mirthful, amusing, competent notes here, no, they better search elsewhere

Coming back to Robert Oppenheimer, he was a controversial figure, and Japan was dismayed at the success the film has had, especially looking at the segment where the giant scientist addresses a crowd with words like ‘I do not know about the atomic bomb, but I do know what the Japanese feel about it’

 

In fact, I should delete the paraphrase, because I recognize it as pure invention, only why not let it be, as yet another proof that this is flawed, but hey, it does proof what I was saying above, it is at least ‘real’, in that I did not go to the google search engine to provide some content that I could then sign and pass as mine, to show people ‘look who is the Top dog in this realm, it is Socrate, the big Con Man’

The invention of the atomic bomb could be seen as the moment when humanity signed its death warrant, sentence, but we could also look at the benefits, the fact that nuclear power is ‘clean’, it I am not mistaken, we could put it in the ‘zero emissions’, zone however imperfect the solution is and controversial.

 

Germany has decided to stop using nuclear power and has shut down most (the plan is for all them to be closed) of its atomic energy plants, albeit this could be regretted, it had happened as the Fukushima disaster was unfolding in Japan, in the wake of a powerful earthquake that has caused an immense tsunami…

France on the other hand, and others, including our own land, continue to use nuclear energy, which in spite of the risks involved (and that is a serious caveat and issue, for terrorists could attack them, earthquakes and accidents take place, Chernobyl is there as a huge alarm bell) could help humanity solve Climate Change

 

Robert Oppenheimer was torn apart by the conflict between the need to race ahead of the Nazis, and provide the camp of the virtuous (especially when compared with the foes) with the winning tool, and the awareness that this is a huge danger, in conversation with Leslie Groves aka Matt Damon in the stupendous film there is a horrifying (well, there are many actually) moment when we hear about the future

The hero (anti-hero clearly for many) is not sure if the explosion of the bomb will not set off a chain reaction that would set the atmosphere on fire, and hence destroy the planet, or anyway, wipe up humankind, the stakes were high, indeed, this is what makes this narrative and the motion picture so compelling…

 

The future of humanity was and is at risk, because they did not know the impact of the bomb, just that it will be immensely powerful, and now, with a colossal arsenal, much of it in the hands of tyrants, like Putin, Xi, the mad one from North Korea, disreputable Modi, shady ones in Pakistan, the chances of something going terminally wrong have increased, and we could see the end sometime in the future

Nonetheless, there are arguments that see the benefits of the nuclear weapons, one of the greatest thinkers of our time, Yuval Harari, has highlighted in his magnum opera the fact that the world has been mostly at peace, for the last decades, and one reason would be that the nuclear options are such powerful deterrents

 

Home Deus – A Brief History of Tomorrow http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/02/homo-deus-brief-history-of-tomorrow-by.html depicts a ‘rosy image’ of the future, as it is plain from the use of Deus, as in humans will be like gods, able to live almost eternally (this is an oxymoron, that could be deleted, but the mission here is to contrast the falsity of number one for Romania, and the inefficiency of Goodreads, which allows such a fraud, whereas yours truly is so genuine, if foolish, wrong, obtuse, etc.) which was obliterated by the recent wars in Ukraine, Sudan, and even Israel, the home of Yuval Harari, who has shown prophetic abilities, when he wrote an article for The Economist, in which he predicted some of the things that would happen, after the Russians attack their neighbor…

 

 

Now for a question, and invitation – maybe you have a good idea on how we could make more than a million dollars with this http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/02/unique-in-world.html?q=unique+in+the+world  – as it is, this is a unique technique, which we could promote, sell, open the Oscars show with or something and then make lots of money together, if you have the how, I have the product, I just do not know how to get the befits from it, other than the exercise per se

 

As for my role in the Revolution that killed Ceausescu, a smaller Mao, there it is http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/03/realini-in-newsweek-participant-in.html

Some favorite quotes from To The Heritage and other works

‘Fiction is infinitely preferable to real life...As long as you avoid the books of Kafka or Beckett, the everlasting plot of fiction has fewer futile experiences than the careless plot of reality...Fiction's people are fuller, deeper, cleverer, more moving than those in real life…Its actions are more intricate, illuminating, noble, profound…There are many more dramas, climaxes, romantic fulfillment, twists, turns, gratified resolutions…Unlike reality, all of this you can experience without leaving the house or even getting out of bed…What's more, books are a form of intelligent human greatness, as stories are a higher order of sense…As random life is to destiny, so stories are to great authors, who provided us with some of the highest pleasures and the most wonderful mystifications we can find…Few stories are greater than Anna Karenina, that wise epic by an often foolish author…’

‚parturiunt montes, nascetur ridiculus mus’

“From Monty Python - The Meaning of Life...Well, it's nothing very special...Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.”
