Ali is my favourite interviewer. Never dumb questions and made Cillian talk a lot. That's an achievement itself 😂 #introvertslife
A great interviewer
In theory, yes. If they would interrupt every second sence with a cut to the trailer. Super annyoing.
Nah, very big headed. Wished he’d simmer down and allow Cillian to talk more seriously about his role.
@@keith..totally agree with this he spoke almost as much as Cillian.
Plumb not Dumb 😆. Fabulous interview, thankyou AP.
CM has become one of the most mesmerising actors of his generation. Great to see him talking about his craft like this
Cillian Murphy and Christopher Nolan are a power house duo
I think he should invite Guy Pearce to appear in one of his new movies
@@livesdoxa Usually, if the experience was unpleasant, you'll only see one collaboration... not that this is always the case but it's telling.
Denzel Washington & Antoine Fuqua and Spike Lee
Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie
Samuel L. Jackson and Quentin Tarantino and Spike Lee
Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese
Jake Gyllenhaal and Denis Villeneuve
@@JB-Wolf Johnny Depp & Tim Burton ?
@@mickaellandry9726Or Nolan and Hans Zimmer to Burton and Danny Elfman ;)
Ali is such a great interviewer, he knows how to walk the tightrope of being a fanboy and a professional so well. Always has fantastic questions about craft and doesn’t stray into the dumb stuff that so many other interviewers do
It's very impressive. If you just listen to the rapport and cadence of the conversation you hear two well respected professionals in the field catching up. If you transcribe the dialogue you read an adoring fan's love letter to Cillian.
@@mooncalf_4534oh god not the adoring fan 😂😂
Funny, I find him fake, overly buddy-buddy and self-indulgent.
A rare example of a great interviewee paired with an equally great interviewer. I absolutely can't wait to see this film.
Take it from a total stranger, it was particularly chilling.
@@ComporioAgree, my favourite film since Dunkirk & both being Nolan films just shows how great that man is.
@@xdef1neIt could well be his finest work since Inception
I see Cillian winning an Oscar for this performance. He was incredible. He truly is one of the greats of our time!!
A blessing to have witnessed his many works ❤
He's understated. Oh those forever cheekbones and mesmereyesing eyes. I think he would make a hot vampire!
Him and Nolan will both win.
@@taroman7100😂yeees❤
@@spencerdobkin9479here after they both won a golden globe! Let’s hope the Oscar is next!
"any actor in the world would say yes" That's some powerful stuff for a director to have people that excite to work with you.
Or maybe Cillian has acquired the Ho'wood survive by kiss up method... although in this case, given their history his respect seem sincere...
He's not wrong. Anyone who sees the movie will see a supporting cast riddled with big names. Academy Award winning actors showing up for 1 scene or a page of dialogue... quite impressive.
@@amandalong220 which kind of fits because these actors were playing multiple Nobel prize winning scientists/physicists, almost as if it's a match made in heaven.
Cillian Murphy is an amazing actor. i really respect him a lot and Oppenheimer is absolutely a masterpiece
One for the history books. And I haven't even seen it yet. But that will not be so for much longer, 7 days at most.
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334you'll love it
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334The movie is haunting & harrowing… and an absolute masterpiece.
He was also in another great WWII film called Anthropoid
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334It’s a fantastic movie. one of the best i’ve seen in years.
Cillian is SO underrated. He SO deserves this opportunity to shine.
Maybe there is a reason why!!! Go figure .
By rights, Cillian Murphy should be on the same pedestal as Daniel Day Lewis or Gary Oldman. Here's hoping Oppenheimer opens more doors to more interesting projects for Mr. Murphy.
He will be nominated for a Oscar soon
I swear I read "Mr. Puppy". It would make sense, tho
Not even Leonardo DiCaprio is in the same league as Daniel Day Lewis yet. Why would Cillian Murphy be there already?
@@cezarikkby the order of fucking peaky blinders, that’s why
@@Miki_Kavunskiyou just made my day with this comment. Thank you so much!
I love how comfortable the interviewer made Cillian feel. You can clearly see that he is genuinely enjoying this interview. It feels like he is having a very enjoyable conversation with a friend. Loved it!
Just came out of the theater. Wow. The movie in itself is such an experience, but the performance by this man is nothing short of breathtaking. At times, it was boneshattering. The way he portrayed Oppenheimers great genius, but also personal struggles is something will not soon forget.
I tip my hat to you, Cillian Murphy.
"boneshattering"? Hardly. It was painfully long, could have told this story in a little over two hours instead of the three plus hours.
Wasn't Oppenheimer a diagnosed schizophrenic who was also involved in experiments exposing cancer patients to radiation which killed some of them
@@r3tr0actiongamer24you fokin son of the tictock, leave ur self
@@r3tr0actiongamer24marvel effect
@@r3tr0actiongamer24I disagree. If you can’t stand long movies, you didn’t have to go watch it in a theatre. You can’t deny how good the actor is, and how well he portrays Oppenheimer’s internal struggles. That person said the performance was bone-shattering at times, not the movie itself. I didn’t find any scene that should - or even could - have been cut imo, except maybe for one of the sex scenes. That’s like thirty seconds out of the movie. I really don’t see where you want to take the remaining hour from 'cause every scene has its meaning and utility.
I love the way Ali couldn't quite look Cillian in the eye like he was afraid the thousand yard stare would be the abyss he couldn't escape from.
Maybe that is why Cillian was at ease with him, no killer stares. Ask me Cillian has a touch of autism, which in his case has probably helped him enormously.
@@kaleidoscopicviews I dunno, i was high and have no clue why I said that, can't even remember. Prolly wrong too
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 LOL cheers
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334lmaaaoo
Ali is the standard that all interviewers should strive to be. He's just fantastic.
The movie so moved me to tears. Brilliantly made and fantastic acting of Murphy and Downey Jr.
That ending brought me to tears
Cus that ending could literally happen tomorrow or anytime in the future
I bet you haven’t even watched it 😂 just interviews on RUclips
*Spoiler warning*:
It left me with the feeling of uncertainty. The horrifying look on the Einstein's face, the guilt you could see on Cillian's face especially when he said "I think we did" to Einstein. Truly phenomenal.
I have a question though, should I rewatch it tomorrow, because I kind a want to but I am scared it will ruin the special feeling I had after watching it. Or should I wait till the digital copy releases which the several sources say, might take 3 months or more, or more precisely it will release as soon as 30 October 2023.
I know no one cares about the oscars nowadays but Cillian deserves one for his perfomance as Oppenheimer, really spetacular. Would like to say RDJ deservs the one for supporting role. Really great movie. Also, was i the only one who wanted to give Einstein a hug for some reason?
I always see this sentiment no one cares for oscars but whenever a good performance comes around there's always a bunch of people who use oscars to justify good acting.
The Einstein clip in the trailer is the 1 jarring moment for me that just doesnt sit rite. Cillian as Oppenheimer is fine as he looks nothing like him so your brain isnt comparing the diffrences but the fancy dress Einstein costume makes me laugh :( If it wasnt a Nolan movie im sure they would have cgi'd it.
@@hongk0ngfu3y but in the movie he is actually very good
@@hongk0ngfu3ythat’s just your opinion dude 🤷🏽. And you know what no one cares abt it
Oppenheimer and AIR will be 2 top contenders for the Oscars
He honestly aged like wine and he's such a good actor 😍😭😭 I'm in love
thank you for your love and support
Sunshine is CRIMINALLY underrated! So glad he referenced that in this interview, I feel like no one knows about that movie 😂
I love the movie! Also Perrier's Bounty or Watching the Detectives with Cillian. But Sunshine is super cool and I love the soundtrack as well.
I just got back from Oppenheimer, and as a Peaky Blinders fan, I can only say… it is the best I've ever seen from Cillian, and if he doesn't win best actor, there is no justice in this world
Couldn't agree more but by now he has his Oscar outstanding performance Cillian 👏
The partnership between Cillian and Nolan is so precious to the cinema. What a double!
I've watched Cillian in a fair few things, but I think his extended portrayal of Tommy Shelby really tuned me in to what a fantastic actor he really is. I've watched 'Oppenheimer' this evening, and after hearing Cillian utter around 4 words of his first sentence in the movie, it's cemented the fact that for me, he's one of the true performing greats of our time now, which seems to be more rare as the years go on.
That whole Peaky Blinder’ cast is absolutely brilliant.
You should also watch him in “Anthropoid.” One of the most intense war films you’ll ever see.
@@stephenscharf6293 ah, cheers Stephen! I'll give that a watch if I can find this weekend 👍
I 100% agree. I’ve been following his career since 28 days later. It was nice seeing him on a long run show in Peaky blinders. Both the show and Oppenheimer are things I normally wouldn’t watch, just because the setting doesn’t peak my interest. Cillians acting really made me enjoy them. Just brilliant
How on earth, one actor could pull off every character that he plays with flying colors? Cillian Murphy is a freak of nature. Oppenheimer is perhaps the most outstanding film I've ever seen and I'd ever saw in my lifetime. Christopher Nolan a genius. Thank you for the wonderful experience with Oppenheimer. I'm shell shocked and couldn't recover from the madness ❣️just flabbergasted.
Toshiro Mifune did that in his work with the legendary director, Akira Kurosawa. Watch him in "Seven Samurai" or "Throne of Blood".
I could watch a movie comprised entirely of close up shots of Cillian Murphy's eyes and not get bored
Cillian is a true artist and he leaves me wanting more. ❤
thank you for your love and support
Difficult to describe Cillian's performance, it's perfect, as always.
Breathtakingly handsome and an incredible actor. I see an Oscar in Cillian's future!
Cillian Murphy was the best performance of his career. i can stop thinking about his performance it was so good i have no words to say
Cillian is one of the finest actors of our time.
Saw the film last night. Three hours long and not a moment wasted. IMHO, this film will be the Oscar winner for best film and best Actor.
A great story. A great film. A masterpiece!
Best of all, a most relevant film for today.
My hat is off to all those that created this film.
If i'd be able to see Cillian in person i would be just speechless.. what an amazing actor! He seems so kind and humble
Ali's interview style is captivating. His genuine passion for cinema and ability to connect with guests make each conversation a joy to watch. A must-see for film enthusiasts. I feel more than any other interviewer, he delights in asking questions he knows no one has thought of, because he spends more time than anyone just thinking them up.
Watched Oppenheimer today, it's brilliant. Chris Nolan is a genius.
Why?! Specify
I know he's an amazing actor but he blowed me away with his acting in this movie. His acting will become an example for future actors.
Perhaps once or twice in a generation you get a film which marks an epoch in technical or creative delivery, such as Aliens, Jurassic Park, The Matrix etc. I believe Oppenheimer will be one of those films, not for the technical aspects, but the sheer jaw-dropping scope and extraordinary power of the storytelling. As with real history, there was a movie world before Oppenheimer, and a completely different world after.
Cillian Murphy is a bit of an icon. Some incredible talent involved with this film 👏
I'm a massive fan and more now. 3 hours went so quick. He carried this film to perfection
8:28 memorable notes given to Cillian by Nolan. Mind-blowing.
Cillian Murphy is the most amazing actor, every film I’ve seen that he’s been in, his performance never fails to blow me away
Cillian Murphy for the Oscar
RDJ for supporting actor and Nolan for Directing and for Writing.
💯
Was absolute stunned by Cillian's performance in this. All actors no matter how limited on screen time they got were all exceptional, especially RDJ, Blunt & Damon.
This Murphy guy is all about his crafts. Nothing more nothing less. No fancy jig or something. Just basic and informative. Kudos 👏
Cillian Murphy may not be a genius but he is clearly a highly intelligent man who is dedicated to his profession and one of the best actors working today! He is absolutely amazing as Oppenheimer!
He's a genius actor
I love this story. It's exciting to see Cillian Murphy in such a huge role.
Cillian Murphy is right - Nolan really is a genius. A remarkable director (and writer) that every one of us should appreciate that we are alive to see his work
Nolan is a rare breed indeed. One of the very best. So far I've intensely enjoyed every single one of his films, and Oppenheimer will be no different.
There's praise but then there's cringeworthy ass kissing and you are doing the latter. He is a very talented director and everyone knows it
he's a hack writer, but one with a vision.
@@wolverineiscool7161 cry me a river. I don’t know him, he doesn’t know me. Very very unlikely I’d ever meet him. So get on these ones
@@planeguy95hello, Nolan here on my secret account. Just wanna say I appreciate the ass tingles mate. And I have to agree with you, I’m pretty great. I mean come on, I made inception AND interstellar.
Ngl I've never seen interviews better than this format (even though Hot Ones is definitely up there as well). The perfect mixture of light-heartedness and interesting questions. It feels like a genuine conversation which makes it so much more enjoyable

Summary by HARPA AI 🧬
Isn't AI great?
This movie was incredible in IMAX I I am a huge fan of Christopher Nolan every single one of his movies are amazing and Cillian Murphy is a phenomenal actor it's nice to see Cillian Murphy in a roll with Christopher Nolan that's not a side character
Never seen a more charismatic man than him 🤩
Can we take a moment to appriciate the interviewer, the best without a doubt. Always the best questions and not only that you can see so many great actors who respect him and that says a lot. Thank you man it really feels good to see you working the right way.
Brilliant performance. Great film. Lovely interview.
Oppenheimer isn't your regular biopic for some regular guy, let alone a physicist. Besides being visually enthralling, it felt somewhat gut-wrenching. There were so many moments which I had to concentrate on, separately (turns out, it's a necessity). 10/10 in every aspect.
If he didn't get an Oscar for his role, then we should boycott Oscar.
Or you know, nuke 'em?
Too yt
I can see the Oscar going to whoever ticks the, 'woke' box....Oscars lost credibility about 6 years ago when it forgot to give awards to the best actors and films and appear to take the moral upper hand in its decisions, rather than the art itself....so whether he gets the statue or not doesn't actually matter.
I mean, who's the competition lol ? Ryan Gosling ? 😂
@@omarbiro4398 Leonardo DiCaprio
Cillian deserves oscar for that
I was waiting for his interview. He’s such an enjoyable interviewer to watch. He seems to have a great persona and charisma and even better chemistry with all the people he interviews.
What I love about both the Tommy Shelby Oppeheimer connection is that their lives actually would overlap in a Peaky Blinder universe - given the time periods... and knowing that Tommy would know about Oppenheimer makes me happy!
Sunshine is an amazing film, just wanted to shout that out
i had totally forgotten about that movie. it was indeed wonderful
When you have a well prepared interviewer who knows how to actually have a conversation, the interviewee opens up and shares real insight rather than bs'ing back and forth. This interviewer did a great job, I thoroughly enjoyed the questions as much as the answers!
Two FRICKEN legends in the same room! Cheers Ali, off to watch it tonight
Cillian Murphy and Christopher Nolan are an incredible combo. Each movie together gets better and better. This was wonderful. I really hope Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr and Emily Blunt get nominated for Oscar's.
thank you for your love
Just watched the film yesterday. Cilian Murphy nailed it!
But you are, Cillian… A GENIUS!! What an absolute masterpiece. What a performance. I’ll riot if you don’t win that Oscar, mate.
In the high caliber that is Ali Plumb interviews I think this is arguably one of the best ones he's done!
The stare is outstanding. He is an amazing actor.
It’s always mesmerizing to hear amazing actors go into details about their thought process to be able to execute each scene in a movie. I guess that’s why they get paid handsomely to do what they do 😅
Such a beautiful man doing beautiful work. Happy that he's now _really_ got his time in the sun. Oh wait, that was the movie Sunshine.
I've never seen an actor not enjoy their interview with Ali. He's the best out there. Consistently great interviews,
thank you for your love and support
I've watched loads of interviews over the last week and many have been very samey..
This is an example why Ali Plumb is one of the best..
Every answer from Cillian has been a unique response from anyother interview I've previously seen..
Awesome as always.. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
'Dancing between the raindrops'
Dam, what a line !
Cillian deserves to win or atleast be nominated for an Oscars for this film
Definitely win
FINALLY
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS INTERVIEW😭❤️❤️
I always enjoy Ali’s interviews. As for Cillian he’s just amazingly talented.
Cillian always representing us Cork people to the highest. We are all so proud of you.
I very rarely comment on RUclips, but I will admit this was such a treat to watch...great questions followed by great answers. One of my favourite interviewers, alongside Sean Evans from Hot Ones. I know there's a lot of research involved, but I wish I had that talent.
peaky blinders, batman, inception, in time, sunshine, edge of love, a quiet place 2, dunkirk, red eye, in the heart of the sea, ... i think that's what i have seen with Cillian Murphy 💕 he is one of my FAVE actors ever! he is amazing and sweet and beautiful 💕
U gotta watch 28 days he’s so good in it.
You forgot 28 Days Later. That made him well known in his earlier days.
@@bagaktv8984 i didn’t forget it. I am saying what I have personally seen ..
No 28 days later??? That is one of his early films, should check it out
What a lovely presenter. He deserves an award! His ability to make actors comfortable and speak freely is a gift
Honestly Ali is the best interviewer i've ever seen. This is was so interesting to watch
he has a youthfulness to him despite being almost 50
The press for these types of films must be hard work ..then ali comes along and actually asks pertinent questions that pique the stars interest..good going!
cillian murphy is no ordinary man either, his work in peaky blinder was phenomenal
Watch Cillian in “Anthropoid” sometime. Talk about “intensity”…
Cillian Murphy a genius
I’ve been a huge fan of Cillian ever since I saw Batman Begins in the theater at age 14. Now he his not just one of my favorite actors but objectively, I think he is one of the best actors or all time!
I agree Cillian is a brilliant actor. If you want to see watch another actor that can match him in intensity, watch Toshiro Mifune in a Kurosawa film, e.g., “Seven Samurai” or “Throne of Blood”
I was so waiting for this interview and it was worth it
Ali does the best interviews. Love each of them! Cillian is truly a magnificent actor.
Oppenheimer is a masterpiece, hands down, Cillian Murphy should get an Oscar for this performance and equally Christopher Nolan
Absolutely fantastic interviewer! Kept thinking throughout how much of a breath of fresh air it must be for the actors doing dozens of junkets.
Love this interview, calm and smooth.
Seen it and he is winning the Oscar for his performance hands down.
Just watched the movie…AMAZING!!!
YES!! I absolutely loved it!!
This is honestly one of my favorite interviews ever. Fantastic questions and knowledge sharing; what a great fuckin conversation!
When I saw Austin Butler as Elvis, I really thought it was like the King had come back to life. Now I don’t know Oppenheimer as well as Elvis Presley, but Cilian Murphy’s performance was on a similar level if not higher.
I’d be shocked if he wasn’t at least nominated for an Oscar for this role.
I am so so glad this was filmed before the strike. Would've broken my heart if there was no Ali interview
I was so hoping Ali would interview Cillian ❤
Cillian He's the best ❤️❤️
Watched a few interviews before seeing the movie, seeing this one after. This movie is such a great story and Nolan’s way of making it, casting, everyone’s performance, maybe the last truly great film for a long time…
Mr Murphy will get an Oscar for this one
Cillian seems like a brilliant man, and he seems like he's talking about things that're very simple relative to what's going on in his mind. I'm surprised he became an actor with such an introverted, intelligent nature.
This is a thought provoking and moving 😭 film. It covers an important piece of history that is still relevant to today thanks to what is happening at present in the World. The film is worth breaking the piggy bank for in order to see it at the cinema. The sight and sound of the explosion of the atomic bomb needs to be seen at the cinema to better appreciate just what a monster Oppenheimer created. Take a tissue with you as you'll probably shed a few tears near the end of this 3 hr film. . 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Congratulations on winning the Oscar next year Cillian ❤
Love the reference to the Langer bar which sat on Cillian's mantle behind him in their last interview. 😁
Great interview, as usual!
Cillian Murphy...best Nolan Actor ive ever seen and so humble
