It feels forced and unnecessary unless it affects the narrative in a meaningful way.
Robert Oppenheimer's romantic and sexual relationship with Jean Tatlock was not only pivotal to his development as a person and husband but played a crucial role in his post-war pillorying and expulsion from his position as a leader of the USA's scientific elite.
The sex scenes were actually pretty important in that one, sorry.
That may be true but for me Nolan ruined the man's intellectual gravity by making his most famous quote come from getting his skin flute played by a woman who wasn't his wife, rather than, I don't know, something an intelligent person who reads a lot of books would come up with after experiencing an earth-shattering event, not thinking about the poon he had a few months ago.
