As with David Bowie as Nikolai Tesla and Heath Ledger as the Joker, a perfect casting of Cillian Murphy in the title role, a spitting image of the title character. A movie first, John Adams wrote an opera in the 2000's titled 'Dr. Atomic', bringing this story to the stage decades before this film. Still, it's Nolan, it's Going to be brilliant!🙂
It's such a shame Oppenheimer felt he had such huge burden to carry. I mean i get it, he is the one who made it happen, but he did it because the alternative was unthinkable, just imagine what the world would look like today IF the Germans had made the bomb in 1943/1944. My blood freezes just thinking about it. Oppenheimer did it for all the right reasons, if he hadn't been the one, someone else would've done it eventually. I just think it's sad he blamed himself, he was just helping his country or maybe even all of humanity for that matter.
The US government black listed Oppenheimer after the war became he had Communist ties. His mistress Tadlock was a communist but she committed suicide. He lost control of the hydrogen bomb possibly because of Teller.
It was either the US or the Nazis. I can imagine how torn up he must have been to have had to help the US. It was simply the lesser of the two evils, I suspect.
Please. Learn some history. Germany surrendered in May of 1945, three months BEFORE the atomic bombs were dropped on Japan. The USA and the USSR had been uneasy "allies" throughout World War II, and it was obvious that the alliance wouldn't hold beyond the war's conclusion, leaving two politically and economically opposed super-powers in the world. The USA dropped the bombs on Japan, essentially already defeated but for a declaration of surrender, for one reason and one reason only: To send the message to the USSR that we had this weapon and weren't afraid to use it. I admire the scientists who committed themselves to this effort, because the Soviets were not far behind us in the development of the bomb, but if you think the Nazis were the threat that prompted its use, you're missing the entire point.
@@pricklypear7516 lol you wrote all that to show everyone how bad you can fail or what? It was in fact the Nazis and Heisenberg the Americans were afraid of, US even sent an assassin to take out Heisenberg if they thought he was close. In Norway, a special commando was sent to take out the heavy water plant in Rjukan to delay the Germans from making a bomb. Oppenheimer himself has stated numerous times that it was the Germans they feared when they went into the Manhattan project as Heisenberg already was years ahead in the research, or at least this is what they thought. And here you are talking about history. Good on you 👍😆
It appears these days, you can't go wrong with Christopher Nolan. I am so pumped for this blockbuster since Robert Downey Jr. is back on the big screen in a film about the creation of the A-bomb. Robert Downey Jr. should get more awesome projects like this & I and many fans will always miss him as Tony Stark/Iron Man. This upcoming blockbuster has such a stacked cast.
This movie is the FOURTH one depicting Oppenheimer. The first was 'Fat Man and Little Boy' (1999) (otherwise known as 'Shadow Makers') featuring Dwight Schultz as Oppenheimer and Paul Newman as General Groves. The second was a mini-series called 'Manhattan' in which Oppenheimer was played by Daniel London. There was also a biopic by CBS about Oppenheimer with David Strathairn called 'Day One'
This movie was amazing. It was everything I expected and more. And that soundtrack. Wow, Göransson blew me away. Can't wait to go see it again next weekend.
Am I hearing well? "No one has made a biopic about such a fascinating impactful man until now?" What about the series in the 1980? It ran for 7 episodes, was very thorough. It is also available on RUclips.
Yes, there was actually a feature film. Fat Man and Little Boy by Academy Award Nominee Roland Joffe. Released in 1989, it was about Project Manhattan and its third act was dedicated entirely to the Trinity Test. Dwight Schultz played Oppenheimer and Paul Newman played General Groves, who is played by Matt Damon in Nolan's Film.
Yeah it has to do with the rather sort attention span and know it all nature of the rising generation. Remember they have the internet and it teaches all.
The “Shadow Makers “ ( known as Fat Man And Thin boy in the USA)film touched upon Oppenheimer’s personal life and his inner turmoil about developing the Atomic Bomb.
Oppenheimer's quote is taken out of context. The fuller quote is: "Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.” Oppenheimer is not saying that he is become Death, he's saying that he was convinced to do his duty in the face of inevitable ultimate power of death/fate/time/Vishnu/nuclear power(?).
Great to see Cork's finest leading the line in this one, it has all the signs of being a serious contender for the Oscars. We knew he'd reach the stars even as a lad in school
Fresh out of the movie theater - please see this movie in 70mm format if you can. It was visually stunning and I was in awe for the first several minutes. Christopher Nolan is ushering in a renaissance in visual fidelity for film.
Is it okay to watch this video before watching the movie? Or shall I avoid watching this video, Just to make sure does this video have any main spoilers
there were at least two movies that had Oppe as a major character that included his personal life, doubts and fears, one with Brian Dennehy and the other with Paul Newman, but with that said, I'm not going to miss this one.
The thing about the astounding characters and events involved with the Manhattan project, there should be little need to overdramatize anything, but that's never stopped people from screwing it up time and again. I hope, but prepare to be disappointed.
I read that an actor named Jack Quaid is playing Feynman. Since the movie is of course called "Oppenheimer", I'm sure it's just not feasible time-wise or narrative-wise to devote much time to any one individual in the project aside from Oppie. I'm sure they'll cover Feynman working for Bethe, leading the computation group for the explosive yield of the weapons. And I do hope they have room in the film for a bit of safecracking, and bongo playing, but who knows. As for the rest, I think Feynman is interesting enough to devote a whole movie to - above and beyond that little film Infinity, as charming as it was. I'd like to see him on screen shouting down Bethe and Bohr (nothing personal) when he thinks they are wrong about a technical issue. Or reviewing the blueprints for the uranium refinement plant, asking what would happen if "this" valve gets stuck, or show him identifying and pointing out the dangerous problems with critical accumulation at Oak Ridge. And we'd all like to see him after the war, developing his spacetime approach to quantum electrodynamics, solving the problem by inventing his diagrams. Then his work on superfluid helium, then later on hadron interactions, his on and off working relationship with Gell-Mann. Then toward the end of his life, the Challenger investigation. And that's just the technical stuff. There's his eccentric friends and other interests, his drawing, and Tuva. There is so much in the public record about him, that almost any decent screenwriter should be able to pen a fascinating screenplay about his life.
While the definition of "biopic" might be "a FILM based on the life of a famous person" the 1980 BBC production of the Oppenheimer TV mini-series is the production I will be comparing Nolan's movie to. The mini-series ran for seven hours and it covered Oppenheimer before and after the Manhattan Project. Sam Waterston played J. Robert Oppenheimer. It will especially interesting to see how Kitty Oppenheimer is portrayed. In the BBC mini-series she is portrayed as highly opinionated and very protective of her husband. She was openly critical and vocal of those she perceived as her husbands enemies. Not an especially sympathetic portrayal. Well played by actress Jana Shelden. The series was nominated for multiple awards and won a few BAFTA's.
Although I like Nolan's vision, I would like to see how he fares in adapting other people's vision while integrating with his own. Nolan remaking Solaris would be something I would enjoy so much to see, because I think it does cater to his themes (so hes not a complete fish out of water), but it comes from a very different sensibility (so we could see how much he can flex or not trying to imbue a story that is already crystalized with his particular kind of film-making).
Actually, Sam Waterston played the role of Robert Oppenheimer in a PBS miniseries biopic in 198o. Then there was followed by “Fat Man and Little Boy” in 1989 starring Paul anew man as General Leslie R. Groves who was responsible for overseeing the Manhattan Project.
All that info has been classified for years. That’s why they didn’t make a movie on Oppenheimer yet. I don’t even think the base was ever confirmed until recently(the past 10 years).
This story was shown on PBS YEARS ago with a very fine production. I believe Sam Waterston played in it . The actor that played General Leslie Groves also looked a lot more like the real McCoy then the lad playing him now. Check it out.
this lead actor looks too plastic or too much makeup and actor playing groves, a failure in casting. i'll stick to the BBC series with Sam Waterston . actress who played kitty Oppenheimer also looked like the real person
It may be the first biopic on the big screen, but certainly not the first time the tale was told. BBC did a marvelous docudrama in 1980 (7 parts, about 6-7 hours). With the exception of Sam Watterson playing Oppie, most of the cast were spot on spitting images of the actual characters. Cillian Murphy fits the image of Oppenheimer to a T, but Matt Damon as Gen. Groves? He would have to gain about 150 lbs. in order to even come close! However I'm really anxious to see this movie and will be taking notes.
To get the best experience, a Christopher Nolan film is meant to be watched on the big screen. I can't wait since this film has elite actors that will for sure have us at the edge of our seats.
Man, i just watched the movie but i wish i did a bit more research before watching the movie. I was not familliar with dr Oppenheimer and now i can slap myself in the face that i went to see the movie without getting to know him. It didn’t even occur to me to do some research, i only could focus on the fact that i was so excited for the movie..😅

Actually this will not be the first film/video version of Oppenheimer's life. Sam Waterston did a brilliant job as Oppie in a 1980 TV miniseries.also called "Oppenheimer." I'll be interested to see Nolan's version and compare it to the 1980 series, which I rate very highly.

Brilliant display of IMAX and characters in this moving biopic showing Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Neils Bohr, Edward Teller, Ernest Lawrence and the central character , Oppenheimer. All the luminaries of Physics in one movie.
The little known truth about the atomic bomb development in the US and later in the UK was that the scientists didn't actually know what would happen. Some thought the Trinity test would set the atmosphere on fire. In the later tests by the British their bomb resulted in a yield far beyond what was expected. They were literally testing theoretical calculations in real life with a weapon capable of ending life on earth and remember they did it without computers. No wonder Oppenheimer was profoundly affected by what he had done when he saw the final results of his creation.
Very excited to hear one of my favourite and beloved actors - Gary Oldman is in it. Fantastic. Very much a deep diver and have a deep interest in such subject's so to have a film come along from one of the most detail orientated and respected film directors being focused on it is something ive been hoping for for literal years
I don't think Robert Oppenheimer (who was Jewish) would have thought letting an anti-Semitic like Gary Oldman take part in a movie was a good idea. Just saying..
The only thing comparable about these two is they're both movies. That's it. Different genres, issues, and film styles - cannot compare. It's like comparing apples and bananas, both fruits but different in many ways. But if I don't have enough money and can only watch one, I'll watch Oppenheimer.
But excellent expertise in the productionS of both . WOW! it's SO nice to hear a narrator eloquent in English with expression and decent grammar! THANK YOU LOOPER!

Nolan is an observer of the outside of reality, why he's drawn to scientific themes, topics: he's a magician of science, not a scientist. He likes films that test your thought processes, not your inner feelings. He mounts up factoids upon factoids on the big screen, to amaze you with his delivery, using the best photographic lenses. He wants to create awe at the tools of film making.
They were filming just down the road *from my brother's home in Santa Fe. The production trailers were parked off of Paseo De Peralta in the parking area adjacent to the Tourism Bureau
This is so true. But Ryan Gosling is quite complicated and truly funny. But a movie about a plastic doll with a dream wardrobe, going up against a real life historical event., I don’t think the film folks have nothing to worry about.
As a preparation for seeing this film, watch several episodes of "The Man in the High Castle." That shows what could have happened to the US if Nazi Germany had developed the atomic bomb first. During the Manhattan Project this was the fear that drove them all. TMITHC gives a taste of why they were justified in being fearful.

Does anyone from the U.K. remember " Threads ", from the 80s ? It was terrifying.Also," When The Wind Blows" ,the superb animation of an impending nuclear attack? It is a must- see for everyone,in my opinion.
Looking forward to seeing this but remember there were two similar movies made as well: '"Fat Man Little Boy" "Day One" But I think these were more of a General Leslie Groves bio than Oppenhimer.
I really liked Fat Man and Liittle Boy with Paul Newman. I really hope I like this film. I am a bit worried, since I thought Nolan’s Dunkirk was a swing and a miss, probably because the legend outstripped reality (though Nolan blew it when he had civilians piloting their own watercraft…British navy sailors did that). I do love Nolan’s films. Fingers crossed.
He portrayed the Sundowner, a motor yacht owned by Charles Lightoller, former second officer of the Titanic, was requisitioned by the Admiralty on 30 May. Lightoller insisted that, if anyone was going to take her to Dunkirk, it would be him and his eldest son, Roger, together with Sea Scout Gerald Ashcroft. The men transported 127 soldiers back to Ramsgate, reportedly packed together like sardines, almost capsizing when they reached the shore. She is a museum ship at the Ramsgate Maritime Museum.
I hear you on Dunkirk .... very disappointing ... I also really liked the mini series Manhattan .... soooo i'm hopeful this one is good ... come on Nolan!
How crazy is this world where more people will go see a movie about a doll than a movie that literally changed the world and might end humanity as we know it. WTF
No one in Hollywood would do a film on this as nuclear secrets fueled the blacklistings of Hollywood writers and directors. Its a wound thats never healed.
@Heshan Gunarathna not a bad idea, but they will always use the language of the country who makes the production, and then dubbing for the translation.
Small correction: Los Alamos was NOT the site of the first test of the atom bomb. Although most of the development of the bomb was at Los Alamos, the actual test site (called Trinity) was 200 km to the south of Los Alamos.
Wasn't the point of dropping the bombs that the Japanese WERE essentially defeated, but refused to surrender in lieu of fighting to the very end regardless of victory and costing scores of lives on both sides for no particular goal other than to be obstinate? I could be wrong, but this was always as I understood it.
The invasion of the Japanese islands was estimated to cost a million men considering the suicidal fighting nature of the Japanese at the time. Plus the US spent so much on the Manhattan Project that it was politically suicidal not to use it. Remember move Japanese died during the firing bombing of Tokyo than did in the two atomic bombs.
Germany had already surrendered by the time the bombs were dropped. Japan is a frickin' ISLAND, and it had no allies left. It wasn't capable of self-sufficiency, and the oil embargo had been so effective that, toward the end of the war, the best use of skilled pilots and their expensive planes was to kamakazi them into ships, because they didn't have the fuel to get home. The USA could have starved the Japanese into submission. But we do like our big, flashy displays. And we needed to send the message to the USSR that we had this weapon and weren't afraid to use it.
12:10 "This time around, [Gary] Oldman is playing Harry Truman, the 33rd President of the United States, marking [sic] this their fourth collaboration together." Remind me again, what were the first three times Gary and Harry worked together?
If you wish to mentally prepare for Oppenheimer's release, this musical composition featuring some key images from the film, the Manhattan Project, and the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic blasts may be useful

A movie first, John Adams wrote an opera in the 2000's titled 'Dr. Atomic', bringing this story to the stage decades before this film. Still, it's Nolan, it's Going to be brilliant!🙂
not even close to spitting image of Oppenheimer .... actor looked too plastic or suffering from cosmetic surgery gone wrong.
Hopefully this is Cillian Murphy’s ticket to winning his first Oscar🙏🏾🙏🏾
Cillian Murphy deserves the lead in this film, such a dynamic and brilliant actor
Today I went to see this piece of art and all I can say is: IT IS PERFECT. GO AND SEE IT
Nolan's impact on cinema history with 12 movies only (!) is unmatched.
It's such a shame Oppenheimer felt he had such huge burden to carry. I mean i get it, he is the one who made it happen, but he did it because the alternative was unthinkable, just imagine what the world would look like today IF the Germans had made the bomb in 1943/1944. My blood freezes just thinking about it. Oppenheimer did it for all the right reasons, if he hadn't been the one, someone else would've done it eventually. I just think it's sad he blamed himself, he was just helping his country or maybe even all of humanity for that matter.
The US government black listed Oppenheimer after the war became he had Communist ties. His mistress Tadlock was a communist but she committed suicide. He lost control of the hydrogen bomb possibly because of Teller.
It was either the US or the Nazis. I can imagine how torn up he must have been to have had to help the US. It was simply the lesser of the two evils, I suspect.
Someone has to make a sacrifice whenever there are weapons involved.
Please. Learn some history. Germany surrendered in May of 1945, three months BEFORE the atomic bombs were dropped on Japan. The USA and the USSR had been uneasy "allies" throughout World War II, and it was obvious that the alliance wouldn't hold beyond the war's conclusion, leaving two politically and economically opposed super-powers in the world. The USA dropped the bombs on Japan, essentially already defeated but for a declaration of surrender, for one reason and one reason only: To send the message to the USSR that we had this weapon and weren't afraid to use it. I admire the scientists who committed themselves to this effort, because the Soviets were not far behind us in the development of the bomb, but if you think the Nazis were the threat that prompted its use, you're missing the entire point.
@@pricklypear7516 lol you wrote all that to show everyone how bad you can fail or what?
It was in fact the Nazis and Heisenberg the Americans were afraid of, US even sent an assassin to take out Heisenberg if they thought he was close. In Norway, a special commando was sent to take out the heavy water plant in Rjukan to delay the Germans from making a bomb.
Oppenheimer himself has stated numerous times that it was the Germans they feared when they went into the Manhattan project as Heisenberg already was years ahead in the research, or at least this is what they thought.
And here you are talking about history.
Good on you 👍😆
It appears these days, you can't go wrong with Christopher Nolan. I am so pumped for this blockbuster since Robert Downey Jr. is back on the big screen in a film about the creation of the A-bomb.
Robert Downey Jr. should get more awesome projects like this & I and many fans will always miss him as Tony Stark/Iron Man.
This upcoming blockbuster has such a stacked cast.
This movie is the FOURTH one depicting Oppenheimer. The first was 'Fat Man and Little Boy' (1999) (otherwise known as 'Shadow Makers') featuring Dwight Schultz as Oppenheimer and Paul Newman as General Groves. The second was a mini-series called 'Manhattan' in which Oppenheimer was played by Daniel London. There was also a biopic by CBS about Oppenheimer with David Strathairn called 'Day One'
And what about the BBC mini-series in the early 80s starring Sam Waterston?
@@dougball328 I forgot about that one. I watched it - it was very good.
This is a "Woke" religious version, a Disney movie for children.
Are they worth watching? Before watching Oppenheimer of course
@@jajz777 Yes. Although a lot of care has been taken to show Cillian as Oppenheimer, the other shows are worth viewing.
Oh boy
What a depiction of Oppenheimer
Outstanding performances
You hardly get to blink watching this film
Must watch 😮
Nolan sent the film crew to space to shoot Interstellar, created a time machine to film Tenet, now he built a bomb to film Oppenheimer.
This movie was amazing. It was everything I expected and more. And that soundtrack. Wow, Göransson blew me away. Can't wait to go see it again next weekend.
It's hard not to see Cillian as Thomas Shelby after seeing Peaky blinders, especially when he holds a cigarette and points at somebody
Fun fact: Since Nolan is not a big fan of CGI he will drop 2 actual bombs on Japan just to bring us a fully realistic experience!
The BBC made an excellent docu drama about Oppenheimer's life starring David Strathairn. Also Dwight Schultz played Oppenheimer in Shadow Makers.
Am I hearing well? "No one has made a biopic about such a fascinating impactful man until now?" What about the series in the 1980? It ran for 7 episodes, was very thorough. It is also available on RUclips.
Maybe refeering to a film, dude.
@@jaycuthbert245 They had a serial movie but realised no one has made a film. What a clever observation! A happy thought indeed!
Yes, there was actually a feature film. Fat Man and Little Boy by Academy Award Nominee Roland Joffe. Released in 1989, it was about Project Manhattan and its third act was dedicated entirely to the Trinity Test. Dwight Schultz played Oppenheimer and Paul Newman played General Groves, who is played by Matt Damon in Nolan's Film.
Yeah it has to do with the rather sort attention span and know it all nature of the rising generation. Remember they have the internet and it teaches all.
The “Shadow Makers “ ( known as Fat Man And Thin boy in the USA)film touched upon Oppenheimer’s personal life and his inner turmoil about developing the Atomic Bomb.
Oppenheimer's quote is taken out of context. The fuller quote is: "Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.” Oppenheimer is not saying that he is become Death, he's saying that he was convinced to do his duty in the face of inevitable ultimate power of death/fate/time/Vishnu/nuclear power(?).
Great to see Cork's finest leading the line in this one, it has all the signs of being a serious contender for the Oscars. We knew he'd reach the stars even as a lad in school
Fresh out of the movie theater - please see this movie in 70mm format if you can. It was visually stunning and I was in awe for the first several minutes. Christopher Nolan is ushering in a renaissance in visual fidelity for film.
Is it okay to watch this video before watching the movie? Or shall I avoid watching this video, Just to make sure does this video have any main spoilers
The BBC series "Oppenheimer" from the 1980s was excellent. Cant imagine a shorter film treating the subject better.
there were at least two movies that had Oppe as a major character that included his personal life, doubts and fears, one with Brian Dennehy and the other with Paul Newman, but with that said, I'm not going to miss this one.
The thing about the astounding characters and events involved with the Manhattan project, there should be little need to overdramatize anything, but that's never stopped people from screwing it up time and again. I hope, but prepare to be disappointed.
Fine. But who plays the funniest physicist involved in the Manhattan project? Richard P. Feynman.
I read that an actor named Jack Quaid is playing Feynman. Since the movie is of course called "Oppenheimer", I'm sure it's just not feasible time-wise or narrative-wise to devote much time to any one individual in the project aside from Oppie.
I'm sure they'll cover Feynman working for Bethe, leading the computation group for the explosive yield of the weapons. And I do hope they have room in the film for a bit of safecracking, and bongo playing, but who knows.
As for the rest, I think Feynman is interesting enough to devote a whole movie to - above and beyond that little film Infinity, as charming as it was. I'd like to see him on screen shouting down Bethe and Bohr (nothing personal) when he thinks they are wrong about a technical issue. Or reviewing the blueprints for the uranium refinement plant, asking what would happen if "this" valve gets stuck, or show him identifying and pointing out the dangerous problems with critical accumulation at Oak Ridge.
And we'd all like to see him after the war, developing his spacetime approach to quantum electrodynamics, solving the problem by inventing his diagrams. Then his work on superfluid helium, then later on hadron interactions, his on and off working relationship with Gell-Mann. Then toward the end of his life, the Challenger investigation. And that's just the technical stuff. There's his eccentric friends and other interests, his drawing, and Tuva. There is so much in the public record about him, that almost any decent screenwriter should be able to pen a fascinating screenplay about his life.
Nolan after the “Corridor scene” from Inception:
“No, that was too easy. Anyone can build a corridor… Let’s build a Nuke.”
While the definition of "biopic" might be "a FILM based on the life of a famous person" the 1980 BBC production of the Oppenheimer TV mini-series is the production I will be comparing Nolan's movie to. The mini-series ran for seven hours and it covered Oppenheimer before and after the Manhattan Project. Sam Waterston played J. Robert Oppenheimer.
It will especially interesting to see how Kitty Oppenheimer is portrayed. In the BBC mini-series she is portrayed as highly opinionated and very protective of her husband. She was openly critical and vocal of those she perceived as her husbands enemies. Not an especially sympathetic portrayal. Well played by actress Jana Shelden.
The series was nominated for multiple awards and won a few BAFTA's.
Sam Waterston was excellent as Oppenheimer in the BBC drama series around 1980.
I'm guessing it will be a neck-and-neck race between Murphy and Phoenix for Best Actor at the Oscars. The judges always love historical biopic roles.
I swear to god if this film doesn’t win a Oscar or an Emmy or something I will personally ruin the nomination system 😂
Although I like Nolan's vision, I would like to see how he fares in adapting other people's vision while integrating with his own. Nolan remaking Solaris would be something I would enjoy so much to see, because I think it does cater to his themes (so hes not a complete fish out of water), but it comes from a very different sensibility (so we could see how much he can flex or not trying to imbue a story that is already crystalized with his particular kind of film-making).
Actually, Sam Waterston played the role of Robert Oppenheimer in a PBS miniseries biopic in 198o. Then there was followed by “Fat Man and Little Boy” in 1989 starring Paul anew man as General Leslie R. Groves who was responsible for overseeing the Manhattan Project.
Nolan is on another level.
Looking at Cillian Murphy, he looks so much like a real life version of "The G-Man" from the "Half-Life" PC Games. SCARY! 😳
This pushed me over the fence to go see the film when it's released.
All that info has been classified for years. That’s why they didn’t make a movie on Oppenheimer yet.
I don’t even think the base was ever confirmed until recently(the past 10 years).
This story was shown on PBS YEARS ago with a very fine production. I believe Sam Waterston played in it . The actor that played General Leslie Groves also looked a lot more like the real McCoy then the lad playing him now. Check it out.
this lead actor looks too plastic or too much makeup and actor playing groves, a failure in casting. i'll stick to the BBC series with Sam Waterston . actress who played kitty Oppenheimer also looked like the real person
It may be the first biopic on the big screen, but certainly not the first time the tale was told. BBC did a marvelous docudrama in 1980 (7 parts, about 6-7 hours). With the exception of Sam Watterson playing Oppie, most of the cast were spot on spitting images of the actual characters. Cillian Murphy fits the image of Oppenheimer to a T, but Matt Damon as Gen. Groves? He would have to gain about 150 lbs. in order to even come close! However I'm really anxious to see this movie and will be taking notes.
Fat man little Boy in the 90s staring Dwight Schultz and Paul Newman. Great all around cast.
You can find the BBC series on RUclips with a bit of searching. It was very well done!
@@ratitekeeper Right 👍 I make it a point to watch it at least once a year. I think it probably has more of an historical context than the Nolan movie.
To get the best experience, a Christopher Nolan film is meant to be watched on the big screen. I can't wait since this film has elite actors that will for sure have us at the edge of our seats.
This is a phenomenal cast of very capable and talented actors.
Man, i just watched the movie but i wish i did a bit more research before watching the movie. I was not familliar with dr Oppenheimer and now i can slap myself in the face that i went to see the movie without getting to know him. It didn’t even occur to me to do some research, i only could focus on the fact that i was so excited for the movie..😅
I really want to see Oppenheimer...I believe it is going to be incredible.
Yea
Former commenter says watch " The Man in the High Castle" other one said " Fat Man and the Little Boy" (Paul Newman)
as good to watch BEFORE you see Oppenheimer; Just collecting suggestions here.
WOW! it's SO nice to hear a narrator eloquent in English with expression and decent grammar! THANK YOU LOOPER!

Actually this will not be the first film/video version of Oppenheimer's life. Sam Waterston did a brilliant job as Oppie in a 1980 TV miniseries.also called "Oppenheimer." I'll be interested to see Nolan's version and compare it to the 1980 series, which I rate very highly.
Yes, we saw that too!

Brilliant display of IMAX and characters in this moving biopic showing Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Neils Bohr, Edward Teller, Ernest Lawrence and the central character , Oppenheimer. All the luminaries of Physics in one movie.
The little known truth about the atomic bomb development in the US and later in the UK was that the scientists didn't actually know what would happen. Some thought the Trinity test would set the atmosphere on fire. In the later tests by the British their bomb resulted in a yield far beyond what was expected. They were literally testing theoretical calculations in real life with a weapon capable of ending life on earth and remember they did it without computers. No wonder Oppenheimer was profoundly affected by what he had done when he saw the final results of his creation.
If Robert Downey Jr. doesn’t get an Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actor something is very wrong
Very excited to hear one of my favourite and beloved actors - Gary Oldman is in it. Fantastic. Very much a deep diver and have a deep interest in such subject's so to have a film come along from one of the most detail orientated and respected film directors being focused on it is something ive been hoping for for literal years
I feel the same about Oldman. His portrayal of Beethoven was awesome. Loved the movie
@@darrenwood6520 So was his Dracula!
Which is your favourite Gary Oldman role?
EEEEEEEVRYONNNNE!
I don't think Robert Oppenheimer (who was Jewish) would have thought letting an anti-Semitic like Gary Oldman take part in a movie was a good idea. Just saying..
@@karin_clash Indeed, he might also have thoughts about people presuming combative opinions on his posthumous behalf.
It does not make sense to say that Barbie and Oppenheimer are in competition, they appeal to different audiences.
The only thing comparable about these two is they're both movies. That's it. Different genres, issues, and film styles - cannot compare. It's like comparing apples and bananas, both fruits but different in many ways. But if I don't have enough money and can only watch one, I'll watch Oppenheimer.
But excellent expertise in the productionS of both .

I’m quite happy that Barbie and Openheimer are being released at the same time. They are polar opposites.
Nolan is an observer of the outside of reality, why he's drawn to scientific themes, topics: he's a magician of science, not a scientist. He likes films that test your thought processes, not your inner feelings. He mounts up factoids upon factoids on the big screen, to amaze you with his delivery, using the best photographic lenses. He wants to create awe at the tools of film making.
They were filming just down the road *from my brother's home in Santa Fe. The production trailers were parked off of Paseo De Peralta in the parking area adjacent to the Tourism Bureau
Happy to see Bhagavath Geetha inspired ✨️
-_- what it inspired to kill millions :(
@@spellcheck5393It don't encourages to kill, but to do your duty to save the world.
You read first then comment on
This is so true. But Ryan Gosling is quite complicated and truly funny. But a movie about a plastic doll with a dream wardrobe, going up against a real life historical event., I don’t think the film folks have nothing to worry about.
Who classified Barbie as one of the most anticipated movies of 2023? And comparing it to Oppenheimer, please!
“This story has never been told before!” Try Fat Man and Little Boy, 1989, staring Paul Newman and Dwight Schultz.
As a preparation for seeing this film, watch several episodes of "The Man in the High Castle." That shows what could have happened to the US if Nazi Germany had developed the atomic bomb first. During the Manhattan Project this was the fear that drove them all. TMITHC gives a taste of why they were justified in being fearful.
What episodes of TMITHC specifically?
@@mleew77 The whole series .... it takes place in a US that is occupied 1/2 by Japan and 1/2 by Germany ....
Ah, thank you for helping your fellow man; more than Hitler did, that's for sure;

It is not the first biopic of Oppenheimer. 'Oppie' was on the BBC in the 1980s.
Nolan’s movies are so accurate no doubt in my mind this will be a very good movie
Does anyone from the U.K. remember " Threads ", from the 80s ? It was terrifying.Also," When The Wind Blows" ,the superb animation of an impending nuclear attack? It is a must- see for everyone,in my opinion.
I already made a mistake not watching Interstellar at the theater. I'm not making the same mistake with Oppenheimer.
Looking forward to seeing this but remember there were two similar movies made as well:
'"Fat Man Little Boy"
"Day One"
But I think these were more of a General Leslie Groves bio than Oppenhimer.
Can’t wait to watch Oppenheimer movie
This is a flick which ought to appeal to audiences far wider than his dedicate fan base. The book is very good if you care to read it.
So glad this story is finally being told!
I'm interested to see how this movie would differ from 1989's Fatt Man and Little Boy."
I really liked Fat Man and Liittle Boy with Paul Newman. I really hope I like this film. I am a bit worried, since I thought Nolan’s Dunkirk was a swing and a miss, probably because the legend outstripped reality (though Nolan blew it when he had civilians piloting their own watercraft…British navy sailors did that). I do love Nolan’s films. Fingers crossed.
He portrayed the Sundowner, a motor yacht owned by Charles Lightoller, former second officer of the Titanic, was requisitioned by the Admiralty on 30 May. Lightoller insisted that, if anyone was going to take her to Dunkirk, it would be him and his eldest son, Roger, together with Sea Scout Gerald Ashcroft. The men transported 127 soldiers back to Ramsgate, reportedly packed together like sardines, almost capsizing when they reached the shore. She is a museum ship at the Ramsgate Maritime Museum.
Didn’t Murdoch play Oppenheimer?
I hear you on Dunkirk .... very disappointing ... I also really liked the mini series Manhattan .... soooo i'm hopeful this one is good ... come on Nolan!
Thank you for reminding me that CN directed 'Dunkirk'. I'll save my money by NOT seeing the new Oppenheimer.
How crazy is this world where more people will go see a movie about a doll than a movie that literally changed the world and might end humanity as we know it. WTF
'Oppenheimer V's Barbie' could be the sequal to both movies
No one in Hollywood would do a film on this as nuclear secrets fueled the blacklistings of Hollywood writers and directors. Its a wound thats never healed.
they need to make a biopic about richard feynman
I am waiting for this like I've never waited for a movie. I hope it will be awesome!
I want to see Oldman play Stalin after this if possible
Then he can play himself in all 3 roles at the Potsdam conference.
@krankenshaft Now you're on to something.. Always appreciate the sharp occasional individuals who have figured out what's not necessary to add 😃
A georgiam should play stalin for maximun accuracy
@Heshan Gunarathna not a bad idea, but they will always use the language of the country who makes the production, and then dubbing for the translation.
It's because Oldman has played 2 of the roles of the big 3 from the Second World War now.. it seems right that he tackle the last one too
The only other movie I know of that brings Oppenheimer to the big screen was Fat man little boy back in the 90s. One of my favorite movies.
everyone should watch Fat Man and Little Boy before watching this movie
yea i was going to say that.. great movie..
Small correction: Los Alamos was NOT the site of the first test of the atom bomb. Although most of the development of the bomb was at Los Alamos, the actual test site (called Trinity) was 200 km to the south of Los Alamos.
Wasn't the point of dropping the bombs that the Japanese WERE essentially defeated, but refused to surrender in lieu of fighting to the very end regardless of victory and costing scores of lives on both sides for no particular goal other than to be obstinate? I could be wrong, but this was always as I understood it.
The invasion of the Japanese islands was estimated to cost a million men considering the suicidal fighting nature of the Japanese at the time. Plus the US spent so much on the Manhattan Project that it was politically suicidal not to use it. Remember move Japanese died during the firing bombing of Tokyo than did in the two atomic bombs.
Germany had already surrendered by the time the bombs were dropped. Japan is a frickin' ISLAND, and it had no allies left. It wasn't capable of self-sufficiency, and the oil embargo had been so effective that, toward the end of the war, the best use of skilled pilots and their expensive planes was to kamakazi them into ships, because they didn't have the fuel to get home. The USA could have starved the Japanese into submission. But we do like our big, flashy displays. And we needed to send the message to the USSR that we had this weapon and weren't afraid to use it.
US has always justified all crap they have pulled so they can be the "heros". No wonder so much obsession on superhero movies in US
Japan wasn't defeated, a god Emperor can't be defeated, and they wanted to keep all of China etc that they still had.
The Japanese military leaders did not want to lose and personally be hanged. They were willing to squander a million lives.
12:10 "This time around, [Gary] Oldman is playing Harry Truman, the 33rd President of the United States, marking [sic] this their fourth collaboration together."
Remind me again, what were the first three times Gary and Harry worked together?
Mark my words,oppenheimer will win atleast one oscar.cilian might atleast get oscar nomination.if both these two didnt happen,then oscar is rigged
Bro hasn’t even seen the film yet 💀
If you wish to mentally prepare for Oppenheimer's release, this musical composition featuring some key images from the film, the Manhattan Project, and the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic blasts may be useful
Warner brothers will regret letting him go.
We will see, i'm afraid Nolan do the same things Lynch did with Twin peaks season 3 when the bomb explod but with less soul
Preordered my tickets yesterday for a 70mm IMAX showing!
