2023 Oscars Best Picture Review: Oppenheimer

Oppenheimer will get you questioning whether J. Robert Oppenheimer (played by Cillian Murphy) deserves to seen as a hero or villain, or neither. Would a film about J. Robert Oppenheimer attract crowds to the cinema this summer? Oppenheimer proved to have the right stuff to make it happen. When the film first arrived, there was the big question. Would a film about the inventor of the atomic bomb…

'Oppenheimer' - Seriously, One of the Best Films Ever

I had to watch Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” twice before I could sit myself down and write a review about it. There is so much going on here in front of us to where it is impossible to take everything in right away, and I kept waiting for J. Robert Oppenheimer’s head to explode before the atomic bomb did. Upon a second viewing, I came to better appreciate and understand all of what Nolan was…

'Producer Charles Roven first met Christopher Nolan twenty years ago, and along with Emma Thomas, the trio went on to produce what many consider to be the high-water mark of superhero films, The Dark Knight trilogy. Their latest collaboration, Oppenheimer, has picked up right where they left off, as Nolan’s ambitious J. Robert Oppenheimer biopic is yet another critical and commercial smash. The project came about in a rather casual way, as Roven and his wife, Stephanie Haymes Roven, were enjoying a social outing with Nolan and Thomas, his wife and producing partner.

“During a social get-together, I was just kicking it around with Chris about what was next after Tenet, and he’s never one to reveal everything. He likes to keep things close to the vest. That’s definitely a Nolan personality trait,” Roven tells The Hollywood Reporter. “And then he asked, ‘Why? What are you thinking?’ And I said, ‘Have you ever heard of J. Robert Oppenheimer?’ And he said, ‘I actually referred to him in Tenet.’”

Roven and his production company, Atlas Entertainment, had already been approached by James Woods on behalf of J. David Wargo, the underlying rightsholder of Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin’s Oppeheimer biography, American Prometheus. So Roven is the one who pointed Nolan in the direction of the book that he would later adapt into Oppenheimer.

“So Oppenheimer was kind of already on Chris’ brain when I brought up American Prometheus. And at the end of our discussion, Chris said, ‘Well, I think I’m gonna read the book,’” Roven says. “And after he read the book, he and Emma called and said, ‘Hey, let’s do this.’”...

What’s the origin story behind your initial collaboration with Chris Nolan on 2005’s Batman Begins?

I had a meeting with Chris, because I was a huge fan from Memento on. His agent had given me a call and said, “Would you be interested in getting involved in this movie that Chris has written and is directing? It’s called Batman Begins.” And I said, “Of course.” And then I also got a call from Jeff Robinov, who was running [Warners Bros.] at the time. I had done a number of movies already with the studio, and this was Chris and Emma’s [Thomas] first movie with the studio. So they thought it would be a good idea to have another producer who really knew those ropes, and that was how I got involved.

Cillian Murphy was right alongside the two of you at the time. Could you sense then that he had a bright career ahead of him?

Well, there was never any doubt that Cillian was an amazing actor. He played Scarecrow, and he was fantastic in the role. He’s been a regular Nolan collaborator ever since; he’s just never had a big starring role in any of those movies. So he certainly delivered in Oppenheimer.

Your last go-round with Chris as director was 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises. What made Oppenheimer the right situation for a reunion?

Well, in 2011, we actually produced two movies together. We did The Dark Knight Rises, but Chris and Emma were also producers on Man of Steel. So they brought me into that project, and both projects were gonna go around the same time. So I really owe my involvement in that movie to the collaboration that we had. But, now, with Oppenheimer, it was kind of a serendipitous thing. I had been approached by J. David Wargo and James Woods. I never knew Wargo, but James introduced me to him because they were friendly. And Wargo had the underlying rights to [Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin’s] book, American Prometheus.

So, in addition to having a collaborative business relationship with Chris and Emma, my wife and I are also just friends with them. And during a social get-together, I was just kicking it around with Chris about what was next after Tenet, and he’s never one to reveal everything. He likes to keep things close to the vest. That’s definitely a Nolan personality trait. So he vaguely referred to some things, but he hadn’t landed on anything. And then he asked, “Why? What are you thinking?” And I said, “Have you ever heard of J. Robert Oppenheimer?” And he said, “I actually referred to him in Tenet.”

Robert Pattinson also gave him a book of Oppenheimer’s speeches as a wrap gift on Tenet, because the movie referenced Oppenheimer. So Oppenheimer was kind of already on Chris’ brain when I brought up American Prometheus. The book is pretty fascinating, and it’s got its own amazing history. And at the end of our discussion, Chris said, “Well, I think I’m gonna read the book.” And after he read the book, he and Emma called and said, “Hey, let’s do this.” So that’s kind of how it happened, and that’s why I call it serendipitous.

How does the 2023 Chris Nolan compare to the Chris Nolan you first met in 2003?

Well, Chris has always been Chris. He’s incredibly focused. He really knows what he’s after, and he’s very precise. So I would say that he’s the same guy in those respects. He obviously has earned both the kudos and the control that he has because of how good he is. He’d be hard-pressed to talk about it, but he’s somebody who can handle all the things. He’s not just a major writer-director; he also really knows how to produce. So each time I’ve had a chance to work with him and Emma, it’s really been a delight...

What’s the status of your slate amid the double strike?

Well, fortunately, I was able to get some deals done and closed before the strike....It’s just sad that you can’t move anything forward...I can’t really schedule any pre-production, because I don’t know when the strike is gonna be over and the actors are gonna come back to work.

During the premiere schedule on Oppenheimer, the SAG strike was called when we were about to start the first screening in London, and our actors had to leave. They got to be on the red carpet, but they couldn’t be a part of the introduction of the movie. So that was also sad because they love the movie so much. The only premiere where we really had a full premiere was the one in Paris. We were actually going to go to two theaters in London, but that was aborted...'

happy birthday nico robin i love you <3 have fun railing franky you queen :)

[vikdec4i]

which of the members do you think viktor is fine with calling him “vinegar” love your posts btw <33

I AM SO GLAD YOU ASKED THIS!!! i have prepared a tier list to visualise my answer on this one because there are layers to it

im not sure if it IS canon but ive always hc that mitzi was the one that gave viktor the nickname “vinegar” (“vinegar tom”), because i fail to see both atlas a/o mordecai calling him that. if atlas can be a bit of a jokester, i do see him using that name just to rile viktor up to LMAO but yes i think this is perfect. i can definitely see ivy calling him that and because ivy is ivy, viktor has to be fine with it. no arguments there.

wick probably called him “vinegar” while he’s off a bit too much giggle water and cannot even string a proper sentence together.

rocky and zib… come on. is that even a question?? zib specifically i can see him making an absolute mess at the bar and viktor’s not abt to clean that shit up. so as a way to escape he has attempted the classic “let’s flirt our way out of trouble” schtick that he has. (viktor is not buying it) im pretty sure rocky has called him that and on some occasions i guess he’s fine w it?? but overall i know rocky is viktor’s punching bag. rip rocky, i wouldve loved being in your shoes 🕊️

the last tier is a no brainer for me. again atlas probably joked about it with mitzi but never stuck with it as an actual nickname. mordecai finds the nickname strange and instead of poking fun at it— finds different ways to dissect how it is inaccurate to viktor’s character bla bla bla yap yap yap. and well freckle is freckle!!

(+ i couldnt find reuben on this specific tierlist maker BUT if he was there, i’d put him either with wick or rocky and zib— honestly ruby seems the type to try and get along w everyone. he’s probably worked alongside viktor enough to know the ins and outs. plus i think it says smth that he probably trusts viktor to take care of ivy as well)

After reading your snippets I usually have kinda weird but upmost entertaining dreams.

Today it was Sokka as a bookshop assistant, doing deliveries. Local Tea Guy was claiming his vision is not as good as it was, so he made his half blind nephew read to him. Half of Iroh's books are self help books, and it took Sokka like, two seconds to get the picture. It helped that during readings Azula kept making dry comments on everything and Iroh was doing miniature embroidery.

Sokka made reports of those readings and gave recommendations on which book fits best to Zuko's feral tone.

Thank you for your stories! I like them very much and you helped me a lot to don't shy away from including seemingly silly/just for fun details into my own art.

All the love <3

This is a whole one shot fic right here, thank you for gifting us with Screen Reader Zuko (Does Not Realize He's Being Tricked Into Being a Self-Help Encyclopedia) on this fine morning

"In my life, I tried to be disciplined, and showed restraint. But it backfired, when Fire Lord Sozin took advantage of my restraint and mercy. If I had been more decisive, and acted sooner, I could have stopped Sozin, and stopped the war before it started. I offered you this wisdom, Aang. You must be decisive."

-Avatar Roku, S1, EP 19

While this advice is arguably either the worst or somewhat 'different' from the rest of the Avatars that have spoken to Aang so far. There are some fans who couldn't understand this advice, and I, too, didn't understand it as well at first..

But this is my interpretation.. ( I think? )

If we highlight "If I had been more decisive, and acted sooner", and "I could have stopped Sozin, and stopped the war before it started". We, the audience, and Aang already know his side of the story. How he had a moral dilemma, which is shown in the Avatar and The Fire Lord episode that he obliterated the throne room with the avatar state and airbending alone. He could've killed him, right there, and there - but he didn't. He didn't, because Sozin was his best friend. He spared him in the name of their past friendship. There was hesitation, and led an inaction, indirecting causing the 100-year war. His biggest mistake, and regret, is letting the imperialistic and ruthless Fire Lord to live.

Something to add as well; another possibility is that the fact Sozin is the Fire Nation's leader, their Fire Lord.

And even though Roku is the Avatar, a deity, this act of destruction comes along murder will likely have Roku facing harsh consequences of his terrible solution to the problem or be sentenced to death immediately. He can't exactly change the laws.

This man literally blames himself for the WAR that Sozin started after he died 12 years ago, and taking accountability for it as well. [ Anti-Aang fans stop blaming the 12-year-old kid go!! ]

If we insert this advice on how Aang didn't go through killing Ozai completely, how he is not going to end the fight this way, an act of brutality almost strike him. Ozai was this close by taking advantage of his mercy if it weren't for Aang's seismic sense, and immediately have him on his knees to literally not only take his bending away but in a way he couldn't hurt anyone, and anybody. So, not only this advice helped that Aang should stay committed in which decision he makes - it brings out that this decision alone, is able to bring a sense of peace AND justice at the same time without feeling the slightest of shame nor guilt about it.

Final conclusion: Roku's advice is helpful in Aang's own twist to it, presented well with the rest of the avatars that has been given to him. [ Except,, Yangchen? Hers are far more direct than the rest but that is what I perceived after all, reblogs and comments are helpful if you want to counter or even add your own words to it! ]

I literally smile seeing all the reblogs, and hearing about your own headcannons in the pride post ^-^
