“Oppenheimer”, a 2023 film directed by Christopher Nolan, explores the life and legacy of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American theoretical physicist who led the Manhattan Project during World War II, resulting in the creation of the atomic bomb. The movie delves into his motivations, ethical dilemmas, and the profound impact of his work on the world, particularly the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It also examines his post-war struggles, including a security hearing where his loyalty was questioned.
“Christopher Nolan’s complex, vivid portrait of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the “father of the atomic bomb,” is a brilliant achievement in formal and conceptual terms”.(NYT)
