Robert Oppenheimer is called the father of the atomic bomb. The same country refused to give security clearance to this great scientist who protected his country by making the most powerful bomb. Hollywood's famous director Christopher Nolan is going to present Robert's story to the world through his film Oppenheimer. If you are planning to watch this film of this American quantum physics scientist studying Sanskrit, then definitely read this review.
Story
Robert Oppenheimer, who lives in America, is obsessed with quantum physics and because of this, he meets scientists from all over the world. However, no one takes his theory seriously. Nevertheless, Robert starts teaching his theory with a student. Gradually, both Robert's student and his importance increase. Although Robert's meeting with his communist friends does not go down well with the American establishment. This is the reason why they are monitored.
During the 1940s, where the American security system, which could eliminate the danger as soon as it was seen, could not remove Robert from his way because he realized that the talent of Robert Oppenheimer is very important for the country. However, before getting Robert to work, he ties up with him due to security clearance. However, for the security of his country, Robert Oppenheimer, with his fellow scientist, working continuously for 2 years, conducts the world's first nuclear test under the code name 'Trinity'.
Robert, who became a witness to this nuclear test, realizes at the same moment that he has become 'Kaal' for this world. In the next few days of this experiment, after the attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki of Japan, Robert understands that his biggest discovery, his biggest victory, will be the reason for the destruction of the world. When Oppenheimer protests against building the bomb in front of the President, he is once again denied security clearance. You will have to watch 'Oppenheimer' in theaters to know who is responsible for Oppenheimer's downfall from being the world's most influential person to the world's most helpless person.
Direction and Writing
Like every Christopher Nolan film, Oppenheimer is also a masterpiece. The way the film has been written and presented, it is absolutely Nolan style. For this reason, there can be some confusion in between. But Christopher has done a great job of putting the fight between a man's passion and his remorse in front of the people through this film.
The dialogue between Einstein and Oppenheimer is one of the highlights of the film. This three-hour-long film starts getting boring at some places in the first half, but the second half brings the lost story back on track. Christopher Nolan, who brought Oppenheimer after 3 years, has attacked this year's Oscars.
Acting
Cillian Murphy in the film J.J. Robert is playing the role of Oppenheimer. He has shown the duality inside a human being very well. Oppenheimer's stubbornness, his passion, the kind of variations Murphy has shown in his personal life really impresses. Emily Blunt also stars as Catherine "Kitty" Oppenheimer. Both Matt Damon as Leslie Groves and Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss have performed brilliantly.
Cinematography and technical
The Oppenheimer film uses both color and black and white mediums. Christopher Nolan's vision without any VFX and CGI and Hoyte van Hoytema's cinematography gives you goosebumps. The visuals of the nuclear test are amazing. The issue of security clearance at the editing table could have been crisper. Background music has made this film more special.
See why
Even though this film is of 1945, but even today this story shakes your heart and mind. We will not be able to forget this story of this scientist who read Bhagavad Gita and lost even after winning. If you are interested in history, then you cannot ignore this important part of this history because after this every country started making its nuclear weapons and we all are standing on the verge of destruction today.
What are the flaws
Christopher Nolan has his own fan following in India, which is why the sequence shot with the Bhagavad Gita at Oppenheimer could have been avoided, or presented in some other way. This film is related to science, if you do not like such films then you can avoid it. Had this 3-hour-long film been a little shorter, it would have been more enjoyable.
