Christopher Nolan‘s Oppenheimer continues to draw packed crowds to movie theaters worldwide, as people from all corners of the globe are captivated by the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer and his pivotal role in developing the first atomic bomb during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project. The film has received widespread critical acclaim for its stunning visuals, standout performances, grand scope and ambition, and, most notably, its screenplay.
The screenplay by Nolan has been praised by several actors in the film, including Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr. , and the film’s lead Cillian Murphy, as one of the best they have ever encountered. It’s easy to see why once you experience the film for yourself. The script is written in two distinct styles—scenes featuring Oppenheimer as the main character are written in first person, providing a glimpse into his inner thoughts, while scenes focusing on Downey’s character, Lewis Strauss, are presented in third person. On screen, this translates to Oppenheimer’s world being displayed in vibrant colors, while the rest of the world appears in black-and-white alongside Strauss.
The film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. The book provides a comprehensive account of Oppenheimer’s life and his involvement in the Manhattan Project. Nolan received a copy of the book from Robert Pattinson after completing his previous film, Tenet. In Tenet, Oppenheimer’s work on the Manhattan Project and the Trinity Test are referenced, setting the stage for Oppenheimer.
