I got the feeling that Oppenheimer is quite true to the events compared to many other Hollywood biopics. I could read Wikipedia about the events after watching the movie and think “oh yeah, that happened in the movie” for many paragraphs. Some lines in the movie are even accurate word for word.

The Imitation Game is ~~pure fiction~~ Abraham Lincoln the Vampire Hunter by comparison. It’s a fascinating story to base a movie on, but they decide to throw it all out and instead replace it with something completely made up. I hate how they wasted that potential.
