From what I've read, the man lived on coffee and cigarettes during those couple of years. He was only 40 years old in 1944. I'm sure the movie with live up the inter personalities drama but probably still an interesting show.
For those who don't know who Oppenheimer was, here's a Wikipedia link about him.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_OppenheimerI don't know if the movie covers this at all but one of the gambles (there were many during the whole process) that was in play was that the U.S. did not have a lot of weapons grade fissionable materials by the summer of 1945. It was basically what was tested in New Mexico and the material that went into the two bombs that were dropped on Japan. It would have been until sometime in late 1945 or early 1946 before more would have been ready and capable of hitting Japan again. Fortunately for many Americans who's fathers and grandfathers who would have been in the forces being assembled in late 1945 to invade Japan, Hirohito (not exactly a dynamic leader) was looking for a way to end the war without causing a full-blown civil war within the Japanese government. The 2 atomic bombs in August gave him leverage over the generals who wanted to fight to the bitter end. The number of a million U.S. casualties has been thrown around if we would have done the two invasions that were planned, so just think of your own family lineage if your father or grandfather would have been killed in Japan.
There has been analysis and debate about whether or not such an invasion was actually necessary. The American B-29 force has burned down much of urban Japan between March 9 and August 6 1945 and the American submarine force had basically blockaded any ocean-based resupply, such as food, coming into Japan. However, those facts are viewed with some time in the rear view mirror and not the heat of the moment. I had forgotten that the first invasion was planned to start in early December 1945. Really not that much time after mid-August.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_DownfallI used to occasionally look at the New Mexico Trinity site with satellite imagery. The immediate close-in circle was still plainly seen when looking at near infrared leading band combinations (good combo to look at actively growing vegetation) say in imagery of the 1970s and '80s, but I see from Google Maps that by now the shrubs and grasses have returned to look like much of the rest of the area. It is desert after all....
