We knew the world would not be the same
Few people laughed
Few people cried
Most people were silent
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita
Vishnu is trying to persuade the prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says:
- Now I am become death the destroyer of worlds
I suppose we all thought that one way or another
It doesn’t matter in which civilization, on which planet, in which galaxy, or in which dimension — David Lynch would be considered both insane and brilliant in every single one of them, and for absolutely opposite reasons, Robert Oppenheimer would be as well.
The most common criticism about Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is that he turned something so horrific into a kind of adventure entertainment, but the director has always emphasized that his movie wasn’t about the atomic bomb itself — it was about its main architect, a truly fascinating figure, a hero to many and a villain to many others.
Anyone who has lived in the world over the past eighty years has, at some point, stared unblinking at an image, a video, a movie, or a documentary showing a mushroom cloud.
How can something so destructive be so beautiful?
How can something so beautiful be so destructive?
When Arjuna begs Krishna to reveal his true form, what she sees, in his own words, is:
If hundreds of thousands of suns rose up at once into the sky, they might resemble the effulgence of the Supreme Person in that universal form.
There could have been just one atomic bomb in history, Oppenheimer could have seen the mushroom cloud and thought: No, now we’ve crossed the line, let’s stop here.
And he would then have been the first, one and only atomic comic-book hero — the one who became radioactive for preventing the use of a nuclear bomb against humanity.
But it’s also true that, with or without nuclear apocalypse, David Lynch has always been both beautiful and terrifying and PFM is as unique as the feelings their music evokes, so I combined the incredible One and Only with the equally incredible Trinity Test sequence in Gotta Light? from Twin Peaks, and the result was simply one and only — so I called it One and Only.
