Top review. Not Smart Enough. Robert Oppenheimer was born to a German Jewish immigrant and a delicate lady from Baltimore in His father gave him a present of a mineral collection. He had to stand tall to see over the lectern because he was only eleven years old. He was pretty smart. In his maturity, in , he was interrogated by a committee investigating the possibility of his having communist leanings.

David Strathairn -- groomed like Oppy -- renders his statements at the trial, directly taken from transcripts. He does a good job. He even LOOKS a bit like Oppy, although actually nobody really looked much like Oppy, who looked as if, had you shaken his family tree, an alien might fall out. No one had more piercing eyes, slitted and set wide apart, in a head adorned with pointed ears.

He conquered Harvard in three years and went on to the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge for advanced study. He chagrined to find that he was too clumsy working with his hands in a laboratory.

Re-creation is mixed with expert testimony from a definitive range of commentators, ranging from Oppenheimer's Manhattan Project colleagues to academics like Martin Sherwin and Priscilla MacMillan. Narrated by Zoe Wanamaker, whose own father experienced the virulent anti-communism of McCarthyism first-hand, it weaves Oppenheimer's biography with the dramatic events of his trial and its tragic aftermath.
