Absolutely brilliant performance. You're hooked from start to finish and you want to watch it again and again. Every aspect of the movie is masterclass. I hope it gets all the nods. Simply a stunning piece of work.
If you watch the 1965 interview with the real Oppenheimer, you will notice the nuances Cillian was able to duplicate, such as the small lip-smacking habit or the buldging eyes expressions Oppenheimer had when he spoke.
Brilliant interview. It's the era of Cillian now. Good for him..I sincerely hope and pray he wins countless awards for this performance. He is also the portrait of humility.
Been very lucky to see Cillian on stage in Misterman and Ballyterk at the national theatre, he's an extraordinary actor. And Oppenheimer is a masterpiece.
Unlike you his wife stayed with him through Hell and high water. That's why you are drooling over him. His wife supported him when be was nothing, she deserves who he is
So great to see an in depth interview where Cillian is clearly engaged and enjoying talking about his work passionately. How do you do it Josh, fab stuff. You really can see the difference between actors who respect their craft and actors who just turn up for the cheque in your interviews! 👏
But to achieve this level of interviewing, the actor must bounce off the interviewer, Cillian needs an intelligent interviewer who is interested in the craft, hence why here it’s a success and he engages
I have followed his career since Disco Pigs, and I was 12 years old! Now to be in my late 30s and seeing this all happening for him... as a fan of cinema and Murphy I couldnt be more thrilled! He is such a rare gem of an actor, and has the most magnificent cinematic face... Nolan has been right to make him his muse! Oppenheimer was extraordinary. Ive already seen it twice!!
Oppenheimer is a work of art, not a documentary, not a movie even. I saw it today, and I felt drained emotionally, a little lost and emotional, stunned at the artistry. I saw the Mona Lisa in the Louvre in 1999 and I felt similarly, it wasn’t the biggest piece work, but it was strangely deep. It’s the kind of movie that you want to discuss at a dinner party with 10 friends who all felt differently by watching it. Hard to describe.
I had pretty much the same feelings after the first viewing: very special, emotionally draining, overwhelmed to an extent even but... I highly suggest doing a second viewing because... Just no words. It's even BETTER.
There's no way i could talk to him for 30 straight minutes without getting nervous & starting to ramble. He just stares right through you. He is beautiful.
I don't usually leave comments, but this was such a thoughtful, considered and engaging interview and a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of the inane conversations actors have been made to endure during press junkets. Please accept my highest praise. Kudos!
I’ve seen just about all the films Cillian has been in.. and honestly.. regardless of the part, his acting has been superb. His soul is in it.. you can feel it Extraordinary actor..
I could liaten to him speak and look into his beautiful blue eyes and then slowly take in all of his true beauty, this is a man who is manly and beautiful at the same time ❤
After having seen the movie last night… it’s insane how accurate it is and how much Cillian actually looks like Robert and how accurate the Los Alamos and bomb building scenes were!
@@JoshHorowitz I have just found your podcasts! What a treat! p.s. Cillian's beautiful voice has smth of Daniel Day Lewis in it at times ❤ Huge talent.
Thanks Josh for this wonderful interview! Cillian is one of greats of this generation. I love his acting process. It's so nice to see him open up. Give him that Oscar man ✊
The way words are coming out of his mouth so genuinely, the way he pauses or speeds up.. great articulation and confort to hear him. Top human, top actor.
Peaky Blinders is one of those rare ones. Think Cillian Murphy is about to hit another level, a lot more people are about to discover his work . Can’t wait to see it!
A very underrated actor. It's wonderful to see him coming into what will be a long career. He has already done wonderful work, but there is so much more to come.
Can I just say... this is such an amazing interview. Thank you for your hard work. Cillian in this film was perfect. I'm so happy he finally got to be the leading man in a Nolan project. He is such a fantastic actor. He definitely deserved this opportunity and unsurprisingly, he nails it.
Fantastic humble , grounded and very intelligent. He deserves the best actor in all the award giving bodies as well as best director for Chris Nolan. Their minds are so connected great cast perfect movie Oppenheimer worth all three hours
Thank you Josh for this great interview. Very knowledgeable and how you made Cillian express himself and talk. I think Cillian was chosen to perform Oppenheimer because Cillian is as great fenomenal mystery and eccentric blue eyes men like the great physicist.
Terrific interview. Cillian in Oppenheimer is going to be considered his iconic role, like Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia. He's always been brilliant, but this role will define him for the rest of his career. The film is astoundingly good, although I think the exposition of the political chicanery could have been condensed a bit. But it’s clear why Nolan insisted on including all of it. I’ve been thinking about this film since I left the theatre 3 days ago.
Just saw the movie yesterday in IMAX and Cillian's acting just blew me away!!! I pretty much have a reclusive life in my studio and had not seen him before. And WOW! He was just so amazing I had to look him up🙂
How do you only have slightly less than 50k subscribers? Your interviews are always insightful and engaging. And these people would not sit with you for so long if you weren’t great at this. Keep it up!!
There are marketing and SEO pieces he’s not taken advantage of. Also social media. The quotes on this great interview don’t have handles on Twitter. Also no means to share clips. Maybe his team doesn’t have experience. Don’t know. Always perplexes me😅
New subscriber and impressed with Josh’s interviewing style. I hope if Christopher Nolan does direct a Bond film, and as Josh is a fellow super-fan, I hope Josh gets a part as an extra on it if one day it comes to fruition!
Great interview, Cillian seems like a chilled guy and you asked interesting questions. I liked how you put him on the spot in the last 15 mins, especially the Bond thing. And, in my opinion, he's not too old to play Bond. He'd completely nail it.
This is the first time I've heard anything about suggesting him as Doctor Doom but thinking about it, THOSE eyes behind THAT mask is something I definitely want to see.
Don't worry, Cillian, I've also still not seen Gone With The Wind! haha (I should probably correct that soon) Oppenheimer is PHENOMENAL! Watched it twice already and can't wait to watch it again. Thanks for this great interview.
I agree best film I’ve seen him in where he was able to use his native cork accent and it’s just brilliant film is wind that shakes the barley , also breakfast on Pluto .
@@EMMYK1916 for me that his natural side coming out because he’s a) allowed to use his natural accent as opposed to having to do another accent and seems to be like he would be away from the limelight
Thank you Josh for this fantastic interview. I just enjoyed it wholeheartedly. ❤ I saw Cillian in Dunkirk and now in Oppenheimer. He is amazing, and deserves the Oscar. Loads of love and good wishes from Kolkata, India. 💐🙏
Great interview. I had a question I wish you asked him which actors he likes to work with in the future, from the actors he hasn't worked with yet. I'd like to see him in a movie with Joaquin Phoenix and Robert Pattinson.
I second that request about Joaquin since they seem to have the same approach to acting, i.e., both never attended acting school/class and are instinctual actors who hate to rehearse and act in the moment. A collaboration would be phenomenal.
So every time I listen to interviews with Cilliam, I can't help but feel that he is a complete actor, full of passion, brilliant, especially in his last installment, the way he introduced us to the character of the great physicist is bordering on something incredibly perfect and here it is clearly visible that cinema is the most beautiful of arts, it can take us to areas previously unknown, deserted yesterday, today tamed and populated enough to be able to say Oppenheimer is Oscar.
I've always loved Cillian. First movie of his I watched was Sunshine. Didn't know his name, but was immediately drawn in. Watched everything since. Hope he gets all the plaudits he deserves with how much Oppenheimer is blowing up.
After having seen the movie last night… it’s insane how accurate it is and how much Cillian actually looks like Robert and how accurate the Los Alamos and bomb building scenes were!
Oppenheimer was fantastic and I fully expect multiple Oscar noms for it. I'm betting Cillian and RDJ get noms for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively. I imagine there'll be additional Oscar noms for writing, directing, et al. How many wins will depend on the competition, of course.
Well, I have to admit the only reason I’m going to see Oppenheimer is because I love Cillian Murphy has role is Tommy Shelby has made him one of my favorite actors
It's truly remarkable to hear Cillian Murphy discuss his role in Oppenheimer, especially considering his long-standing working relationship with Christopher Nolan. Five collaborations in, and yet, this is the first time he steps into the spotlight as Nolan's leading man. The episode radiates a sense of enthusiasm and depth that only comes from an actor-director pairing with shared history, trust, and artistic synergy. Murphy has always brought a certain magnetism to his roles, whether it's the Scarecrow in Nolan's Batman trilogy or his standout performances in films like Inception and Dunkirk. But Oppenheimer feels like a whole new level of synergy between him and Nolan. You can sense that Murphy has fully grasped the gravitas of his role, diving deep into the complexities of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb. It's a character fraught with moral, ethical, and emotional dilemmas, and who better to tackle this than an actor of Murphy's caliber under Nolan's visionary direction? Josh Horowitz does an excellent job in the #happysadconfused podcast to explore not just the film but the nuances of Murphy’s performance. The conversation gives listeners a chance to appreciate how Murphy approached this incredibly challenging role and how Nolan's direction shaped it. It's also intriguing to hear Murphy's reflections on his evolution from a supporting player in Nolan's cinematic universe to a leading man in one of the director's most ambitious projects to date. It's rare to get such an insightful peek into the dynamics of an actor-director relationship that has been nurtured over multiple collaborations. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intricacies of filmmaking, acting, and the extraordinary outcomes that can arise from long-term creative partnerships. #Oppenheimer is not just a movie; it's an event, and Cillian Murphy's role in it appears to be a defining moment in a career already filled with noteworthy performances.
So proud of you Cilian .. putting Ireland on the map. I grew up in limerick City but lived in San Diego and now Palm Springs all my life. And yes i have many yrs of doing theater behind me even Shakespeare. Congrats .. ☘️. Erin Go Bragh
@joshhorowitz I'm so glad you brought up that inception moment because it's one that I always think about. Like you know, they've succeeded once he hits an emotion essentially and Cillian portrays that perfectly.
Going from an article published here in Australia its weem a sad thing about this movie, and I do love Cillian, that Nolans' movie ignores the crucial role that an Australian scientist and his two Jewish staff in England played. It was the two German scientists who'd each left Germany with the rise of Hitler in the early 1930's whose work led to the bombs. And this was done in Britain where they published their findings when working in the University of Birmingham. And it was their boss, an Australia physicist running the lab who would ulitmately go to America to push their findings. Truth is that that it Albert Einstein's entreaties to Roosevelt in Aug 39 only resulted in the setting up of the Uranium Committee did not result in the Manhattan project - these guys treaded water instead and focused on nuclear power for submarines because they believed, like all scientistsa the time, that so much fissile uranium would be needed for an A bomb (the critical mass) it would be too heavy to be deployed It took two German Jewish physicists to change that view, namely Otto Frisch from Hamburg and Rudolf Peierls from Berlin who'd both independantly left Germany after the ascension of Adolf Hitler in the early 1930's. Otto Frisch had learnt from his physicist aunty Lise Meitner in 1938 (also living abroad) that two German Jewish scientists (Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman) had burst Uranium with a neutron to produce Barium (Atomic no. 56). Otto and Lise hypothosized that the Uranium nucleus had been split and estimated the energy released. Frisch coined the term fission after the biological term for splitting cells in two. Later Frisch with Peierls, then both working under in a lab in the University Birmingham, produced a memorandum that set out a process for generating an atomic explosion. Instead of recquiring tonnes or Uranium for a critical mass, it was only a matter of a few kilograms. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisch%E2%80%93Peierls_memorandum It was the laboratories boss, the Australian born physicist Mark Oliphant who then spearheaded their findings with the British Government who set up the MAUD committee. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAUD_Committee The committee shared this information with the American authorities including Roosevelt's Uranium Committee. By March 1941 the MAUD Committee concluded that the bomb was "practical and likely to lead to decisive results in the war". Still they got no response. Turns out that the American's the Uranium Committee's Chairman had simply put the information in his safe without reading it. Due to the lack of American interest the British Government sent the Australian Mark Oliphant in August 1941 to America to find out why. Officialdom complacency left him desperate so he went beyond his brief and despite top-secret concerns flew to Berkeley to reach out to a pre-war friend, namlely Ernest Lawrence, one of America's most influential scientists and recent Noble Laureate in physics. Lawrence was startled by the MAUD committee's findings and disturbed by the America's inaction. And this is when Oppenheimer comes in - when he was invited by Lawrence to come to his Berkeley office and meet the Australian Mark Oliphant. That crucial encounter is missing in Nolan's movie. How much stronger would the movie have been if the role of the two Jewish scientists who'd had the sense to flee Nazi Germany in the early 30's and the Australian Mark Oliphant who took the Americans to task for not following up the recommendations of the British MAUD Committee For more information see www.worldcat.org/title/1345458814

so jealous!!! i want to see him on stage at some point, just to see how he acts on stage vs screen
@@sopheep I hope you get to see him on day. Misterman was a one man show and I've seen that it will be added the national theatre at home soon.
Saw him myself in 2004 in The Playboy of the Western World. You can't take your eyes off his performance.
@@PhilipBrady couldn't agree more.
Saw him in Grief is the Thing with Feathers a few years ago. It was unbelievable. Wish I could see it again.
Cillian’s wife is a lucky woman
They have been together for a very long time. That, in my opinion, is success enough with or without awards for his craft.
@@jabbermocky4520 True. Very rare for actors to have stable families, but he did.
Unlike you his wife stayed with him through Hell and high water. That's why you are drooling over him. His wife supported him when be was nothing, she deserves who he is

He seems to be a beautiful soul, and an incredibly talented individual

I'd love to see Cillian win an Oscar for this performance because he was absolutely phenomenal in the film. Honestly one of the greats of our time 🙌
Just wanted to comment on this to bring you back to this moment 😊
Cillian's performance was masterful. He's truly one of the best actors of this generation.
Thanks for your continuous love and support ❤

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intricacies of filmmaking, acting, and the extraordinary outcomes that can arise from long-term creative partnerships. #Oppenheimer is not just a movie; it's an event, and Cillian Murphy's role in it appears to be a defining moment in a career already filled with noteworthy performances.
We love you, Cillian!
So proud of you Cilian .. putting Ireland on the map. I grew up in limerick City but lived in San Diego and now Palm Springs all my life. And yes i have many yrs of doing theater behind me even Shakespeare. Congrats .. ☘️. Erin Go Bragh
@joshhorowitz I'm so glad you brought up that inception moment because it's one that I always think about. Like you know, they've succeeded once he hits an emotion essentially and Cillian portrays that perfectly.
Going from an article published here in Australia its weem a sad thing about this movie, and I do love Cillian, that Nolans' movie ignores the crucial role that an Australian scientist and his two Jewish staff in England played.
It was the two German scientists who'd each left Germany with the rise of Hitler in the early 1930's whose work led to the bombs. And this was done in Britain where they published their findings when working in the University of Birmingham. And it was their boss, an Australia physicist running the lab who would ulitmately go to America to push their findings.
Truth is that that it Albert Einstein's entreaties to Roosevelt in Aug 39 only resulted in the setting up of the Uranium Committee did not result in the Manhattan project - these guys treaded water instead and focused on nuclear power for submarines because they believed, like all scientistsa the time, that so much fissile uranium would be needed for an A bomb (the critical mass) it would be too heavy to be deployed
It took two German Jewish physicists to change that view, namely Otto Frisch from Hamburg and Rudolf Peierls from Berlin who'd both independantly left Germany after the ascension of Adolf Hitler in the early 1930's.
Otto Frisch had learnt from his physicist aunty Lise Meitner in 1938 (also living abroad) that two German Jewish scientists (Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman) had burst Uranium with a neutron to produce Barium (Atomic no. 56). Otto and Lise hypothosized that the Uranium nucleus had been split and estimated the energy released. Frisch coined the term fission after the biological term for splitting cells in two.
Later Frisch with Peierls, then both working under in a lab in the University Birmingham, produced a memorandum that set out a process for generating an atomic explosion. Instead of recquiring tonnes or Uranium for a critical mass, it was only a matter of a few kilograms.

It was the laboratories boss, the Australian born physicist Mark Oliphant who then spearheaded their findings with the British Government who set up the MAUD committee.

The committee shared this information with the American authorities including Roosevelt's Uranium Committee. By March 1941 the MAUD Committee concluded that the bomb was "practical and likely to lead to decisive results in the war". Still they got no response. Turns out that the American's the Uranium Committee's Chairman had simply put the information in his safe without reading it.
Due to the lack of American interest the British Government sent the Australian Mark Oliphant in August 1941 to America to find out why. Officialdom complacency left him desperate so he went beyond his brief and despite top-secret concerns flew to Berkeley to reach out to a pre-war friend, namlely Ernest Lawrence, one of America's most influential scientists and recent Noble Laureate in physics. Lawrence was startled by the MAUD committee's findings and disturbed by the America's inaction. And this is when Oppenheimer comes in - when he was invited by Lawrence to come to his Berkeley office and meet the Australian Mark Oliphant. That crucial encounter is missing in Nolan's movie.
How much stronger would the movie have been if the role of the two Jewish scientists who'd had the sense to flee Nazi Germany in the early 30's and the Australian Mark Oliphant who took the Americans to task for not following up the recommendations of the British MAUD Committee
