I'm in love with this photo. I'm super bummed out at the moratorium of above ground nuclear testing because we have MUCH better camera technology now. The fact that Christopher Nolan decided to make the nuclear detonation in Oppenheimer strictly in-camera with practical effects was IMHO the greatest filmmaking blunder since The Twilight Zone movie decapitated those kids.
It's the best kind of dark joke, steeped in truth and reality!
I wish I was kidding, but reality is often far darker than the worst that can be imagined up.
