Nolan would have never shot this chronologically... A film about paranoia and hiding horrors under the rug.

I saw this film last night in 70mm format. I liked it but I had problems with the sound. The theater doesn't equalize the mids correctly and it's hard for me to understand what they are saying. I will watch it on BluRay with subtitles, that's for sure.

The movie is confusing for some, including myself, because that's what Nolan wants from us. There are two "hearings" going at the same time, one in black and white and another in color to suggest a separation of timelines, but we get lost in the narration. The only thing that seems to move in time is the Manhattan Project, which ends in the famous Trinity explosion, and from there the movie continues with its confusion.

Definitely a "nice" touch from the filmmakers not showing Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nor the injured and dead Japanise, but they have been avoiding these images since the moment of the kabooms. The US is the only country that has ever nuked another one, and possibly for absolutely no reason (Japan was about to surrender? We will never know).

For me this is a movie that deals with our own modern paranoia. We started to fear and hate our neighbor who is not like ourselves, and we called them all kinds of things: commie, jew, black, muslim, terrorist, russian, wetback... And the paranoia is justified: We have a doomsday machine, but that means anybody else can.
