FAQs

How many rotten tomatoes did Oppenheimer get? ›

Robert Oppenheimer was an immensely complex figure, and the movie's based on a biography of him. While the movie is historically accurate in many ways, there are a few bits of fiction mixed in.

Summary. The R rating for Oppenheimer was earned through heavy themes, sex scenes, nudity, and mature language throughout the movie. Christopher Nolan ventured into new territory with Oppenheimer by delivering his most adult film, featuring graphic sex scenes and nudity.

In terms of craft (acting, direction, editing, production design, and so much more) Oppenheimer is first-rate, and deserved the plaudits this awards season.

100 Movies lists, but there are many others and several entries with dozens of positive reviews, which are considered surprising to some experts. To date, Leave No Trace holds the site's record, with a rating of 100% and 252 positive reviews.

“Oppenheimer” is a great achievement in formal and conceptual terms, and fully absorbing, but Nolan's filmmaking is, crucially, in service to the history that it relates.

Oppenheimer, starring Cillian Murphy as the “father” of the nuclear bomb, was also criticised by anti-nuclear groups for failing to depict the true horror of the devastation the bombs caused in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Would history have played out in the same way? In the final scene, Oppenheimer asks him: “When I came to you with those calculations, we thought we might start a chain reaction that would destroy the entire world”, to which Einstein replies: “I remember it well. What of it?”. Oppenheimer replies; “I believe we did.”

Nominated for 13 awards, Oppenheimer won seven, including Best Picture, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, and Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr.

“As per social media reports, a scene in the movie shows a woman [making] a man read Bhagwad Geeta aloud while getting over him and doing sexual intercourse.” “She is holding Bhagwad Geeta in one hand, and the other hand seems to be adjusting the position of their reproductive organs,” Mahurkar continued.

Is Oppenheimer hard to watch? ›

It was hard to follow at times, especially the first forty-five minutes or so. The beginning was artsy in a way that I found hard to grasp, but became more straightforward as the movie progressed. I'm not the best at following political jargon, and I don't know anything about physics, so I felt a little lost at times.

We see a woman's skin begin to peel from her face (not as graphic as it sounds), a man vomiting, and a charred corpse lying on the ground that is stepped in.

Cary Grant may be the greatest actor to have never won an Oscar.

The first non-human to win any kind of Oscar was the animated Mickey Mouse. In 1932, the Oscar award was awarded to Walt Disney for the creation of Mickey Mouse, and the Mickey Mouse Club had one million fans. Mickey Mouse is a black mouse cartoon character that was made by Walt Disney and also Ub Iwerks in 1928.

Oppenheimer's ability to thrill audiences over such operatic length is yet another feather in its cap, given its sparing deployment of such Christopher Nolan standbys as colossal explosions or vertiginous visual effects.

If you're looking at the top 10 highest grossing films of the year, only one of them stands out like a sore thumb (and not just because I've put it in bold): Barbie, Super Mario, Oppenheimer, Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Fast & Furious 10, a Spider-Man, The Little Mermaid, a Mission: Impossible, Elemental, and Ant-Man 3.

Despite his early work on what would later become known as black holes, J. Robert Oppenheimer never won a Nobel Prize. In part, it may have been because the "father of the atomic bomb" lacked the focus of some of his colleagues and constantly moved from topic to topic.
