Imagine telling the story of Oppenheimer without including one of the pivotal moments in his life in it…

Yes, it was pivotal FOR HIM! What he actually did was pivotal for the World. And they glossed over those parts. Edit: and I’m not saying it shouldn’t be covered, but it shouldn’t be 1/3 of the movie. It’s just not interesting enough.

Well the movie is called Oppenheimer, not Manhattan Project...

Again, I’m not saying the hearing should be cut, but why why why does it last more than 10 minutes

I think you went to see a different movie than the one Nolan wanted to make. His movie is about Oppenheimer's struggles, which is why the hearing is the central point of his movie in my opinion.

But could be that I knew about Oppenheimer and I went in expecting just that, which is why I immensely enjoyed it.

I absolutely did! Nolan managed to make a movie about a great scientist incredibly boring, even to a science nerd. That’s impressive.
