J. Robert Oppenheimer is her husband’s father’s third cousin. The doll is no relation.
It’s been an unusual few weeks for retired professor and grandmother of five Barbara Oppenheimer of Newton, Massachusetts. I called her up to ask whether she’s seen any good movies lately. Our conversation has been edited and condensed for clarity.Well! I had college friends around the world texting me that weekend when they came out, with the whole schmear, you know … “the bomb and the bombshell.” It’s pretty funny! It was a brilliant thing that they launched them together.
Yes, a distant relation, to be sure. Well, the first thing I heard before I even saw it was that it’s three hours long, and you’re like,. But I didn’t find that a barrier at all. I thought they did a good job. It really gets into the moral dilemmas that Oppenheimer faced. Did he face them head-on at the time? That’s a good question.Yes, in a way that was very compelling. I come out of the science fields. I was a professor in the health sciences.
Exactly. My parents grew up in that period of time, and they were real patriots about the war, and the U.S. winning the war. That was so important to their upbringing. People at Los Alamos thought that was their contribution to the war! They were saving lives! I’ve read things worrying that people will walk out of the movie thinking that nuclear bombs are necessary, and maybe some will, but I think others know better, or I hope that they do.
