After spending most of the three-hour film either missing or silent, Malek’s character delivers a stunning monologue that marks the actor’s greatest performance in years.
When he silently popped up an hour or so into, then, it seemed like the latest meager appearance from a once-buzzy actor. That Malek ends up starring in one of the film’s most searing, powerful moments came as a gigantic surprise. And it was a welcome one—J. Robert Oppenheimer had his own unqualified win, all thanks to Malek’s Dr. Hill.
As Hill, Malek plays one of the scientists working on the Manhattan project, albeit not with Oppenheimer directly. Instead, he works with Dr. Enrico Fermi at a lab in Chicago. While Fermi’s team create the nuclear reactor, both Fermi and Hill remain steadfast aboutDespite holding this belief, Malek’s Dr. Hill is a man of almost no words.
The film establishes this as a thrilling courtroom drama, in which we root for the beleaguered “father of the atom bomb”—something that, at that point, is otherwise hard to do. We know that much of what he’s being accused of is neither relevant to his scientific achievements nor accurate; the assertion that Oppenheimer opposed the hydrogen bomb so as to set the Soviets up for a win against the States was a clear falsity.
This heel turn was especially striking, considering that Hill’s opinion of Oppenheimer seemed less positive beforehand. The physicist had repeatedly rejected Hill, who openly opposed the government’s use of Oppenheimer’s greatest invention. Thanks to Hill, the film tells us, Strauss doesn’t get the Cabinet position he so badly wants—a win as much as any in a movie like. And it’s the first career win Malek’s had in a while too: a moment in the spotlight that elicits gasps, applause, and a deserved heaping of praise.
