Matthew Modine Deserves More Praise for His Work in ‘Oppenheimer’ Oppenheimer continues to be a movie that brings us performances to talk about, mainly because every time we try to nail down one over the other, another actor’s role becomes more important to talk about. One performance we’ve yet to really highlight is that of Matthew Modine Modine plays Vannevar Bush, one of the scientists who brings Ernest Lawrence (Josh Hartnett) into the Manhattan Project in the beginning, alongside Richard Tolman (Tom Jenkins). In a sea of brilliant performances from actors across the board, what makes Matthew Modine’s take on Bush so great to look at is that it is a very understated performance. Still, it is one that is important to the film as a whole for one moment. For the most part, we see him sprinkled throughout the movie, featured when we are at Los Alamos with the rest of the team working with Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), but there is a moment that really cements Modine’s performance. It comes at the end of the movie as the “twist” of what Lewis Strauss (Robert Downey Jr.) did to Oppenheimer comes into light, and the moment really deserves more attention. Modine delivers one of the best moments in Oppenheimer After spending most of the movie appearing when necessary, it is almost shocking to see Bush stand up in defense of Oppenheimer when he is being attacked during his security clearance hearing. They bring Bush in, and he stands up for his former colleague. As we’re seeing flashes of Dr. Hill’s (Rami Malek) speech against the appointment of Strauss to the cabinet of President Eisenhower, we see Modine deliver a powerful speech against what the security board is doing to Oppenheimer (which takes place five years before Strauss’ hearing). It stays with you because we’re seeing two scientists who, throughout the movie, have expressed their upset over things that Oppenheimer have done. They have, at times, been opposed to Oppenheimer and what he was doing. However, they were still scientists. They were still men who stood by their community and recognized what Strauss and men like him would do to other scientists if given the chance.
Yeah! Peace baby! What an amazing play! #strangerthingsthefirstshadow #strangerthings #drbrenner #papa #drmartinbrenner thank you #dior @sydneyfinch1 @sfpofficial #homerun

In “Downwind,” a documentary executive produced by Matthew Modine, directors Mark Shapiro and Douglas Brian Miller chronicle the lethal effects that nuclear testing on American soil has had on U.S. citizens. The Oscar hopeful reveals that from 1951 to 1992, Mercury, Nevada, was the site for the testing of 928 large scale nuclear weapons. Wind dispersed radioactive fallout from those atmospheric blasts (mushroom clouds) and underground testing (venting) in a seemingly unpredictable manner to people living “downwind.” The United States Department of Justice defines “downwinders,” also known as lab rats, as human beings who live in counties located downwind from Nevada Test Site in the states of Utah, Nevada and Arizona. #downwind #downwinders #fyc #documentaryfilm
Matthew Modine stars in the cycling drama Hard Miles, a film is based on the true story of the cycling team at Colorado’s Ridge View Academy, which for decades has given at-risk youth a second chance through academic rigor, targeted treatment, competitive sports and leadership. Modine plays Greg Townsend, who has led the team at Ridge View for the last 30 years. Ridge View Academy was conceptualized by the Colorado Division of Youth Services in the mid-1990s, as a means of responding to the steady rise of juvenile offenders in the state. The charter school opened its doors in 2001 and has since helped set upwards of 4,300 young men on the right path. 2021 Academy Nicholl Fellow R.J. Daniel Hanna is directing Hard Miles from his and Christian Sander’s script. Hanna’s co-writer is also producing, with Scott Sander exec producing for Pensé Productions. Former pro cyclists contributing their knowledge of the sport to the pic as consultants include Christian Vande Velde and George Hincapie. The latter’s Hincapie Sportswear is also providing cycling kits. @hardmiles_movie #bycicle #cycling #cyclinglife #cyclingshots #cyclingphotos #cyclingpics #cyclinglifestyle
