It wasn’t my main takeaway but I did feel like the nudity during the interrogation in Oppenheimer was a distraction.

It’s almost like his nudity visually represented how exposed and degraded he felt by the experience and her nudity helped convey Kitty’s sense of disgust and betrayal!

See, I didn’t even notice Kitty’s reaction. That’s what I mean by distraction. It was asymmetric. In the real world she will have screamed and started throwing things if she saw that.

But … the naked people clearly aren’t there! It’s a representation of how the Oppenheimers FEEL at having their life picked apart by the committee. This is how visual art works sometimes!
