15 Memorable Quotes from Oppenheimer (2023)

0

One of the best films of 2023, Oppenheimer follows the story of New York-born scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his crucial role in developing the devastating atomic bomb, also known under the name of the Manhattan Project.

As one of the most masterful pieces created by director Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer delivered a formidable challenge to its summer rival Barbie when it got nominated for thirteen Oscars, including for Best Achievement in Directing for Christopher Nolan, which Greta Gerwig missed out on.

Here are the best quotes from Oppenheimer.

  1. Caption: Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to man. For this he was chained to a rock and tortured for eternity.
  2. Lewis Strauss: Amateurs seek the sun. Get eaten. Power stays in the shadows.
  3. J. Robert Oppenheimer: Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.
  4. J. Robert Oppenheimer: They won’t fear it until they understand it. And they won’t understand it until they’ve used it. Theory will take you only so far.
  5. J. Robert Oppenheimer: Since when are you British? Klaus Fuchs: Since Hitler told me I wasn’t German.
  6. J. Robert Oppenheimer: I don’t know if we can be trusted with such a weapon. But I know the Nazis can’t.
  7. Albert Einstein: When they’ve punished you enough, they’ll serve you salmon and potato salad, make speeches, give you a medal, and pat you in the back telling all is forgiven. Just remember, it won’t be for you… it would be for them.
  8. Kitty Oppenheimer: You don’t get to commit sin, and then ask all of us to feel sorry for you when there are consequences.
  9. Niels Bohr: Is it big enough? J. Robert Oppenheimer: To end the war? Niels Bohr: To end all war.
  10. Kitty Oppenheimer: You think because you let them tar and feather you that the world will forgive you? They won’t.
  11. J. Robert Oppenheimer: Mr. President. I feel that I have blood on my hands.
  12. Lewis Strauss: Genius is no guarantee of wisdom. How could this man who saw so much be so blind?
  13. Niels Bohr: You are the man who gave them the power to destroy themselves. And the world is not prepared.
  14. Isidor Rabi: You drop a bomb, and it falls on the just and the unjust. I don’t wish the culmination of three centuries of physics to be a weapon of mas
  15. Edward Teller: Would the Japanese surrender if they knew what was coming?s destruction.

Justice Announce New Album ‘Hyperdrama’, Enlist Tame Impala for New Song

Justice – the French duo of Xavier de Rosnay and Gaspard Augé – have announced their first album in nearly eight years. Hyperdrama lands on April 26(via Ed Banger/Because Music. Today’s announcement comes with the release of two songs: ‘One Night/All Night’, featuring Tame Impala, and ‘Generator’. Below, you can check out director Anton Tammi‘s video for ‘Hyperdrama’, listen to ‘Generator’, and find Hyperdrama‘s cover art (by Thomas Jumin).

Commenting on ‘One Night/All Night’, Justice said in a statement: “This is Kevin [Parker] singing. This is the touchstone of this record. Like okay, let’s make a song that’s all techno, then all disco, and then it’s all techno again. It’s a bit like when you have wine that doesn’t fit well with what you’re doing and they’re fighting for attention but it still tastes good.”

Of ‘Generator’, they added: “To us, this one sounds like ‘Getaway’ by the Salsoul Orchestra, but with gabber and classic ‘90s techno sounds. We love all kinds of music that don’t really appear in Justice. But I would say that the main two types of music that coexist in Justice since the beginning are disco funk and more electronic music. And particularly on Generator we make them coexist, but not really in a peaceful way. We like this idea of making them fight a bit for attention.”

Tammi said of the ‘One Night/All Night’ clip: “I suggested to them that what if we dive in? What if their music video was a journey inside the cross? I dreamed of creating a piece like this. A strange and experimental object that looks like rave lighting inside human lungs and strobe light around a human heart.”

Fabiana Palladino Announces Debut Album, Releases New Song

0

Fabiana Palladino has announced her self-titled debut album, which is set for release on April 5 via Paul Institute and XL Recordings. The 10-track LP features contributions from Jai Paul, Rob Moose, drummer Steve Ferrone, and Palladino’s father and brother, bassists Pino and Rocco Palladino. Check out a video for the new single ‘Stay With Me Through the Night’ below, and scroll down for the album artwork and tracklist.

Discussing the album, Palladino said in a statement:

A central theme of the album is aloneness. Whether it’s a song where ’m searching for connection with someone else, or trying to embrace the aloneness, it tends to come back to me, who I am when I’m alone, what I feel when I really look inwards. I’d say it’s a pretty introspective record overall. The songs are often about trying to go deeper into yourself, exploring your true feelings and how they then relate to and affect your relationships with others.

“Stay With Me Through The Night” is the first song I wrote for the album. It was at the end of a tricky period where I hadn’t written music for nearly two years, and it came out in a bit of a flood, I barely even remember where or how I wrote it, but I knew it was going to be an important song for me. It ended up being the centrepiece of the album, a song that encapsulates a lot of the feeling and emotion of the rest of the record and musically it brings old together with new, which became a theme across the record…a way of combining my influences with a modern perspective.

Rhythmically the feeling of the song comes from funk and disco, I was thinking about the piano playing of Patrice Rushen and Michael McDonald, Chaka Khan’s ‘What Cha’ Gonna Do For Me’, Bernard Edwards bass playing on Chic’s ‘Good Times’, and The Bee Gees ‘Spirits Having Flown’ but we tried to take the track somewhere else in other aspects of the production to bring out the big feelings in the song. It situates us in the emotional world that I tried to create for the rest of the album.

1. Closer

7. Shoulda
