The Coral share new song ‘Oceans Apart’ featuring Cillian Murphy

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic In the early scenes of “Oppenheimer,” J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), an American physics student attending graduate school in England and Germany in the 1920s, with bright blue marble eyes and a curly wedge of hair that stands up like Charlie Chaplin’s, keeps having visions of particles and waves. We see the images that are disrupting his mind, the particles pulsating, the waves aglow in vibratory bands of light. Oppenheimer can see the brave new world of quantum mechanics, and the visual razzmatazz is exactly the sort of thing you’d expect from a biopic written and directed by Christopher Nolan: a molecular light show as a reflection of the hero’s inner spirit. But even when “Oppenheimer” settles down into a more realistic, less phantasmagorical groove (which it does fairly quickly), it remains every inch a Nolan film. You feel that in the heady, dense, dizzying way it slices and dices chronology, psychodrama, scientific inquiry, political backstabbing, and history written with lightning — no mere metaphor in this case, since the movie, which tells the story of the man who created the atomic bomb, feels almost like it’s about the invention of lightning.

Their tweet admonishing the 44-year-old Florida governor is currently going viral as fellow candidates accuse him of resorting to “desperate” tactics to get ahead in the Republican primaries.The ad, posted to the pro-DeSantis Twitter account “DeSantis War Room,” depicted rival Donald Trump, 77, making statements in support of the LGBTQ community, including saying that Caitlyn Jenner could use the bathroom of her choice when visiting the White house, and celebrating the inclusion of transgender contestants in beauty pageants.
