TL;DR Summary

Spike Lee comments on Christopher Nolan's film "Oppenheimer," expressing his admiration for the movie but suggesting that it should have depicted the impact of the atomic bombings on the Japanese people. Lee believes that the film, which focuses on physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer's life and internal struggle, missed an opportunity to show the devastating consequences of the bombings. Despite his critique, Lee praises Nolan as a filmmaker and acknowledges that even his own films could be subject to changes. "Oppenheimer" has been a commercial success, becoming one of Nolan's highest-grossing films, but a Japanese release date has not been announced.
