Whatever else can be said about #Oppenheimer, I believe it to be one of the best portrayals of the anti-hero character we've seen on screen in a long time.
Indeed, perhaps it has been so long many have forgotten what an anti-hero is and so take Oppenheimer to be the hero of the story. The story has no hero. In many ways, the narrative portrayal of Oppenheimer reminded me of that classic anti-hero from literature, Billy Pilgrim from #Slaughterhouse5 by Kurt #Vonnegut, unstuck in time.

I fell down a bit of a #wikipedia rabbit hole reading up on #Dresden after finishing #Slaughterhouse5 yesterday. I'd always assumed the #Firestorm was almost accidental, but they knew *exactly* what they were doing.
And they'd already practiced on #Hamburg.

Reading #Slaughterhouse5 on the beach in #Copenhagen, where we've taken refuge from the #heat is a bit of a mindbender, must be said...
Perhaps #Europe needs these kind of reminders though, our lives are maybe too comfortable?

Finished #Slaughterhouse5. One of the great have to read books and it is actually good. It is funny and sad at the same time. There is probably not anything i can say that hasn't been said yet. But it really gives you some nihilistic tendencies.
