Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’ Trailer: Twitter Says Give Cillian Murphy An Oscar
If there’s one thing we cannot forget from our History classes it’s the chapter on the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But have you ever thought of the person who made these bombs? For those of you who don’t know, American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer played an important role in the making of the atomic bombs and was known as the “father of the atomic bomb”. And Christopher Nolan is all set to bring to us a biopic of the physicist titled Oppenheimer starring Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer. The first trailer of the upcoming film that is set to release in the US on July 21, 2023, is here and Twitter has opinions.
Take a look at this chilling trailer of Oppenheimer.
For the unversed, J Robert Oppenheimer was the head of the Los Alamos Laboratory during World War II and overlooked the Manhattan Project dor the development of the first-ever nuclear weapons. The father of the atomic bomb recalled the quote from the Bhagavad Gita, “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds” after he witnessed the first successful detonation of the atomic bomb, the Trinity test in New Mexico on July 16, 1945. Later in August of that year, the atomic bombs were used in the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. FYI, the film also stars Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Rami Malek, Benny Safdie, Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Michael Angarano and Kenneth Branagh.

Minutes after the trailer was dropped, Twitter was flooded with reactions as people opened up about how Christopher Nolan’s film is going to get an important conversation around the bombing of Japan’s Hiroshima and Nagasaki going. While several users hailed the visuals of the film, the animations and the sound design others pointed out how the film is clashing with the release of Barbie.

Chilling.
A must see move, but also a film that will generate LOTS of discussions.
The reasons why it was made versus never having opened THAT door…will be an ongoing discussion for generations.
This is some heavy themes.

Unfortunately…the second bomb sealed the deal. The Japanese leadership thought that we ONLY had one.
Cruel as it was…with only one…the War might've continued on.
Obviously we'll never know for sure…but that is what history has reported at the time in Japan.

Netizens also noticed how Christopher Nolan mixed colour and black and white visuals to depict the world after the bombing. On the other hand, people just couldn’t get Cillian Murphy’s expressions from the trailer out of their minds.
So some scenes are black and white and others are coloured?
Interesting, we'll see how it works https://t.co/AErJbpJcy2

Stunning. I am in awe.
My prediction is that the mix of colour and black & white will be before and after the blast. The world literally becoming black & white after the bomb goes off. https://t.co/6mGAN3s81u

The extraordinary fear-gritting trailer that only Nolan can deliver, those intercuts of explosions, and Cillian Murphy's fearful face are what Nolan stands out for.

Well, the trailer of Oppenheimer has really blown us away and we agree with Twitter. Cillian Murphy might just bag an Oscar for his role in this Christopher Nolan film. We can’t wait for this film to hit the big screens so, we can watch it in 4D!
