Mumbai: Renowned filmmaker Christopher Nolan, known for his acclaimed works such as ‘Memento’, ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy, ‘Inception’, ‘Tenet’, and more, is currently gearing up for his highly-anticipated upcoming film ‘Oppenheimer’. As the release date draws near, Nolan disclosed that ‘Oppenheimer’ delves deep into the captivating story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, a prominent nuclear physicist, where paradoxes and moral dilemmas take center stage, creating a complex and thought-provoking narrative.
When asked about his inspiration to bring J. Robert Oppenheimer’s story to the screen, Nolan stated, “Oppenheimer’s story is an extraordinary tale. It is filled with paradoxes and ethical dilemmas, which are always intriguing material for me. While the film aims to help the audience understand the motivations behind people’s actions, it also poses the question of whether their actions were justified.”
Nolan further explained, “Movies, as a form of storytelling, have a unique ability to immerse the audience in a subjective experience, allowing them to judge situations the way the characters do, while also offering a more objective viewpoint on these characters. Throughout the film, we attempt to delve into Oppenheimer’s mind and take the audience on an emotional journey with him. That was the challenge of this film: to narrate the story of a person who played a significant role in a devastating sequence of events, driven by noble intentions, from his perspective.” Produced by Universal Pictures and distributed by Warner Bros. Discovery, ‘Oppenheimer’ is set to release across Indian theaters on July 21. Advance booking for IMAX theaters in India is already open.
