Trivia
When Nathan is about to pass out from
drinking, he's reciting a scripture from the Hindu Gita: "...In sleep, in
confusion, in the depths of shame, the good deeds a man has done before defend
him." According to the Oppenheimer book "American Prometheus",
Oppenheimer translated and recited that poem a few days prior to a failed
explosive test.
User Reviews
Writer Director Alex Garland is a
powerhouse of talent
I rarely do this because there is so much rubbish out there but
I'm going to recommend a movie. Writer Director Alex Garland has done an
amazing job, it's beautifully shot, fantastically lit, intelligently written,
brilliantly cast. the edit is original and brave, as is the direction of the
edit, There is nothing superfluous, to the contrary it' has a sharp Zen like
quality, clearly the application of a disciplined mind.
The movie is's self is engaging, thoroughly watchable, the characters are simple and yet layered with complexity. The film strikes the perfect balance of not spoon feeding and not dumbing down but not being too arty or intellectual just for the sake of it.
Best seen in a cinema I reckon.
