Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan, Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey junior, Emiley Blunt
Here comes Christopher Nolan again. In another cinematic masterpiece added to his artistic balance.The enormous load on Cillian Murphy's shoulders was crowned with success, but not as much any success. Because this artwork entered cinematic immortality, and it is likely that he will win the Academy Award for the year 2024.
Oppenheimer is a 2023 American biographical thriller film written and directed by Christopher Nolan, based on the autobiographical book The Pulitzer Prize-winning American Prometheus, written by authors Kay Bird and Martin J. Sherwin on a biography of physicist Robert Oppenheimer. The film chronicles the life of Robert Oppenheimer, a theoretical physicist who was central to developing the first nuclear weapon as part of the Manhattan Project, and ushering in the atomic age.
the Oppenheimer movie experience is one of the most enjoyable experiences. Although the film tells about a dark phase in the life of the inventor of the atomic bomb and the life of the scientist who was harmed by this deadly invention, the way of narration and the sound and cinematic effects were wonderful and expressed the moments of tension that Robert Oppenheimer went through during his life. Periods from the beginning of his life until his last moments and honoring him.
Christopher Nolan really deserves the title of the creative director who was the reason for reviving the charged moments and let us live history from the beginning as if we were inside the event and I was until the last moment in the movie felt that there might be a change or something that tipped the scales and this was the imagination And the inspiration that Nolan created from this masterpiece, and I strongly recommend this movie because it will change the view of many people about directing in general.
Yuval Harari in his book "Homo Deus" says that the moment when man will be able to destroy this planet with the push of a button...or overcome death, meaning that man remains in control of whether he dies or not dies.This is the moment when the title of the book will triumph.
Therefore, a large part of the greatness of the movie “Oppenheimer” is the existential part in the film, along with other great parts such as characters, psychological and emotional feelings, and the question of science itself, and most of all... war.
But here you mean a person who was destined to apply the first part of what Harari - and the second philosophers - said to him. A person capable of erasing the entire existence by stepping on a button.
This meaning is confirmed from the beginning of the film to the end. The film opened to the dreams that Oppenheimer had when he was young in the form of cosmic explosions, from which (scientifically) he created this existence. And the film ends with his words, whether death remains the destroyer of worlds or existence..
What about us, as viewers or people living on the planet, telling us that this will be the end of the universe...At some point, this universe will end with an explosion similar to the exact birth explosion, but the difference is that this time the same person will do this. Not any other powers again...
I would say it's a "painful" movie. Not because of his subject and the suffering of his protagonist,Rather, it is not presented to all viewers. Because Nolan chose a complex and turbulent narrative context, nervous editing, and loud, unsettling music.
This causes the viewer to enter into a vortex in which he does not know who is fighting with whom, who is conspiring with whom, who is investigating whom, and why all these investigations are in closed rooms. Therefore, I recommend watching To End All Wars: Oppenheimer, which is also a recent movie produced in 2023. To take a pure image of Oppenheimer and the event of making the atomic bomb.
What I liked was that Nolan was able to reconcile the events of the film, jumping from future and present shots. Highlighting Robert's tension and turmoil, and the intersection of his personal and practical life with his involvement with communism.
In the last scene, Nolan was brilliantly cutting Oppenheimer's words and pictures and scenes of the end of the universe. and I could say that it was one of the greatest endings in cinema history of all time!
Very good review !
