I’m really glad I’m not the only one who had misgivings about Oppenheimer. One of my main issues was the complete lack of nuance afforded to any of the female characters. Kitty Oppenheimer (not just a wife and mother, but a talented biologist) was conducting blood tests at Los Alamos to assess radiation damage. How is this not even mentioned in passing?!
Yes! In the interview with Nolan I reference, he says that Kitty was 'given very little to do' so the sheets also symbolise her domestic experience. How about showing all that she was doing from the 'little' (not) job of housework to her work as a biologist.
