An awkward silence that speaks volumes.
The Big Picture Ever since Oppenheimer came out, there's been a lot of debate around the fact that it doesn't depict the actual bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, despite being set in the context of the creation and development of the weapon that would lay waste to them, the atomic bomb. That's for good reason, of course: the movie is about J. Robert Oppenheimer himself, with the script even written in first person.
So shocking, in fact, that the other actors in the scene didn't know how to react. Originally, the script mentioned Kyoto was to be removed from the bombing list for its cultural significance, but Remar delivers the honeymoon line so casually, it left the rest of the cast speechless.
We don't have to go far to question that and conclude that, ultimately, we have succumbed to this nationalistic way of looking at the world that people like Stimson helped consolidate in favor of the dominant power. All it takes is going to the movies. Hollywood has a long history of struggling with depicting and talking about the nuclear bombings in World War II, it rarely produces movies that openly criticize it like Oppenheimer does.
