A- It is emphasized that the young Oppenheimer is ashamed of his Jewish origin (something that is clarified in the book but not in the film).
B- Oppenheimer is disillusioned with communism, due to the revelations about the practical implementation of the ideology in the Soviet Union. It is made clear that his relationship with Tetlock is also shaken.
C- Oppenheimer realizes that he must take the atomic project on his back - his re-acceptance of being Jewish. The understanding that life cannot be lived as a hermit, but that the world has always been and always will be divided into different groups fighting for survival and reproduction. The absolute negation of the naive communist idea of youth, and the practical eating from the tree of knowledge. The beginning of the Manhattan Project. Teller and the hydrogen bomb are highlighted.
D- Persecution progress. they talk about the 'spy', about all kinds of suspicious situations. Strauss and the like. Media panic. Shame.

All of the story points are about to reach their end and climax, as the scientists prepare for the first atomic experiment, Trinity. The personal life of Robert Oppenheimer, with all its key moments, from being a boy to becoming a bitter old man, swirls together with the fission process of the atomic bomb, the first weapon of mass destruction in history, as if it were the same. this climax occurs as a montage of at least thirty minutes. in the style of the Astronaut's journey through the lights in 2001: we go deep into the bomb and into the atoms when they begin to move and shatter; Oppenheimer tries to poison his teacher with an apple; Neurons escape from each other, moving in a black space; Jean commits suicide, leaving Robert broken; Back into the atoms, they move, they slide, they look like dead stars (these segments are not supposed to happen in seconds, but over long minutes); Oppenheimer is denounced as a traitor, grows old, and dies; The cigarette smoke that led to his early death turns into red gas, into quantum particles - the atoms are compressed and finally condense, creating a massive explosion that kills tens of thousands of people in Hiroshima. THE END.
The thematic emphasis in the story is on the destructive instinct in man and humanity. And the goal is to draw a parallel between Oppenheimer's life and the story of humanity in the twentieth century; which began with the pure and beautiful curiosity of youth, to a journey of no return into the abyss and destruction.
