“Always My Intention”: Oppenheimer’s Most Divisive Decision Defended By Christopher Nolan

Christopher defends his decision not to show the famous Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings in his recent epic Oppenheimer. Starring Cillian Murphy as the titular character alongside other talented actors like Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh and Rami Malek, Nolan’s critically acclaimed movie follows the true story of the theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in developing the first nuclear weapons which were used by the United States in World War II to desolate the Japanese States of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. While Oppenheimer has sparked numerous conversations since its release, one of its hottest talking points is not having the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings depicted.
