I didn’t see much info about it prior to watching, went with some friends. A large part of the movie is about his possible communist affiliations, and his defaming. It wasn’t insanely anti-communist, but it definitely operated under the assumption communism equals bad. Anyone else have some thoughts on it?
Wouldn’t say that the movie propagated that communism is bad. In my opinion it displayed how rotten and scared people were in that time. Most were not able to differentiate between a socialist, a communist, a political activist who had interests other than the U.S. . The movie stated something against exploitative government’s as far as I remember when Oppenheimer talked to Einstein. I say it is a very good representation of the times back then what you will take from that is yours.
