Yes, as strange as it may seem, there are a couple of characteristics that the best detective in the world shares with the theoretical physicist. And none other than Christopher Nolan, director of movies like Tenet and Interstellarexplains who is victorious in terms of complexity between Oppenheimer and Batman.
Oppenheimer is compared to Batman by Christopher Nolan
In interview with total films (via), Nolan spoke about the main character in his upcoming film, theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimerthe call “father of the atomic bomb”. He pointed out that what attracted him to tell his story was his ambiguity, an aspect that has always fascinated him have in the protagonists that make up his filmography. And that’s when he mentioned Batman:
“Thinking of any character I’ve ever dealt with, Oppenheimer is by far the most ambiguous and paradoxical.. Which, given that I’ve done three Batman movies, is saying a lot,” said the British director.
We can assure you that Nolan knows what he is talking about, after having been in charge of the trilogy of films in which Christian Bale played that masked vigilante. Above all because that saga, which began in 2005 and ended in 2012, conquered audiences and critics alike; even earning a posthumous Oscar for Heath Ledger for his portrayal of the Joker in The knight of the night.
In addition, Christopher Nolan praised Cillian Murphy for his work in the role of the Manhattan Project scientist. He indicated that the task was not easy, but Cillian exceeded all expectations.
“To tell you the truth, there aren’t many actors you could tell, in a close-up staff, ‘Yes, we are going to follow this subject for three hours.’ You are demanding something from an actor that very few performers could achieve. I will say that even with that trust in him, he continually surprised me on set every day. And when we went into the editing room and put the performance together, seeing the truth of it, he completely blew my mind.”.
