Hi everyone,

The story of American scientist, J. Robert Oppenheimer is coming to the movie screen in July. This movie chronicles the life of the physicist and his controversial work of of creating the first atomic bomb. The movie is based on the Pulitzer prize-winning book "American Prometheus" by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin.

Oppenheimer's life was full of success and tragedy. The movie will attempt to cover his early life as a teacher of physics at Cal-Berkeley to his role in the Manhattan Project, Los Alamos and other complexities. Through all his brilliance, his life was not an easy one and he had many struggles and burdens to bear.

What are your thoughts about this movie, book or J. Robert Oppenheimer? Are you going to watch this movie?

Have a good day.

Sincerely,

-Donna
