Story:
Christopher Nolan, one of the excellent directors of Hollywood, exhibits a historic setting of an emergency. The film also portrays themes, namely, crisis, struggles, and dark elements such as death and dictatorship. The film would be a great catch for audiences who enjoy settings based on the past.
Analysis:
After directing films on people who have strived for a great place to live, a perfect planet, a perfect dream and themes associated with them, Christopher directs a film on the man who is the inventor of disastrous innovation and that is the perfect bomb.
Christopher Nolan has to be greatly credited for a masterpiece like Oppenheimer for his vision and the screenplay that would blow the audience’s mind just like Robert’s ticking bomb. The idealogy and references he used from Bhagwat Geeta make the film seem way more serious as it establishes the theme of death in the film.
Robert Oppenheimer a theatrical physician played by Cillian Murphy was a traumatised person. All the experiences he has ever had from failure to success moulded him into a person who created the world’s first-ever nuclear weapon to end the war in the Pacific Sea.
Overall character development, the progress in the story and the actor’s performance have been spent. Christopher’s portrayal of Robert Oppenheimer tells the story of the physician turned destroyer as well as the physician who was destroyed in that process.
Negatives:
Gore, violence and mature themes might not be taken well by children. Oppenheimer is a limited-audience film.
Positives:
The screenplay, story, characters performance and dialogues makes it endearing to watch.
