Writing the screenplay for OPPENHEIMER

I assume most here already know that significant portions of the screenplay for OPPENHEIMER were written in first person. Below is a link to an article that discusses that, and it includes a link to the screenplay itself.

What are your thoughts on Nolan's choice to write in first person?

I glanced at the script to see what writing in first person looked like, Tucker Teague. It was strange. I guess because I'm used to writing in third person and reading scripts that are in third person.

Just watched it and the script is brilliant!
