Christopher Nolan's new movie Oppenheimer is peppered with baffling human emotions, mental disarray and repentance.  Here are the 8 dark shades of human lives depicted in the movie.

1. Fallacy of human mind

Oppenheimer lives through the pursuit of ultimate scientific glory in his initial days in Cambridge and Germany, only to fall into the fallacy of creating the most lethal weapon for deterrence among nations and for the world to find its peace. 

2. 'To sin is a human business, but to justify sins is a devilish business'

Oppenheimer is seen encountering a moment when rage takes over his sensibilities and he ends up poisoning an apple which he hopes his professor will eat. This is a perfect example of how people sin and how Oppenheimer's character hints at the destructiveness it may unleash in future. 

3. Even the most decorated people can go nude with loose morals

Oppenheimer is shown in fear of societal defamation when he is forced to reveal his meetings with Jean Tatlock, as his wife sits behind and stares at his revelation. It's a perfect depiction of how the scientist, who was once "the man of the moment", is now being stripped naked because of some of his wrongdoings .

4. Excitement to reach the finishing line fades once the line is crossed

Once the nuclear test is successful and the success is celebrated, there is an eerie lull that stands behind the back of Oppenheimer as he looks at trucks filled with bombs he created going away to show the world the magic he brought to existence.

5. Most magnificent magic may hide death in its heart

'Magic' is the word that Oppenheimer utters when he talks about the most anticipated Trinity test. However, hours before the test, he seemed to be hounded by the thoughts of what if the fire he is about to ignite may burn the whole world. 

6. Evil awakens the devil

It was the horrors committed by Nazis that somewhere seem to have led Oppenheimer, himself a Jew, to think about creating something which can eradicate them completely.

High In Vitamain and Minerals

Melons are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, potassium, and antioxidants. These keep the skin, hair, and overall health of the body maintained.  

8. Humans don't ride on future, they get consumed by it

As Oppenheimer takes the stage to address the roaring crowds after the success of the Trinity test, he seems to be troubled and lost in the future in which he had constructed himself. He is grieving and filled with sorrow and his vision is haunted by visuals of humans wailing and hurt after the bombing.
