Ethan Shanfeld Spike Lee has offered his thoughts on Christopher Nolan‘s atomic bomb blockbuster “Oppenheimer,” calling it a “great film” but adding that he wishes it showed “what happened to the Japanese people.” “[Nolan] is a massive filmmaker… and this is not a criticism. It’s a comment,” the filmmaker said, speaking with the Washington Post. “If [‘Oppenheimer’] is three hours, I would like to add some more minutes about what happened to the Japanese people.
People got vaporized. Many years later, people are radioactive. It’s not like he didn’t have power.
He tells studios what to do. I would have loved to have the end of the film maybe show what it did, dropping those two nuclear bombs on Japan.” Universal Pictures, the studio behind “Oppenheimer” did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Nolan’s film centers on the life of theoretical physicist J.
Robert Oppenheimer, who led American efforts to create the atomic bomb. In 1945, the United States dropped two atomic bombs, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians. Based on Kai Bird and Martin J.
Sherwin’s 2005 biography of Oppenheimer, Nolan’s film focuses on the scientist’s tumultuous life and internal struggle following the attack. However, “Oppenheimer” does not portray the bombings or their aftermath in Japan, instead largely staying confined to its protagonist’s perspective. The omission was a major topic of critical discussion around the film, with Los Angeles Times critic Justin Chang defending the decision, saying that Nolan treats the attacks “as a profound absence, an indictment by silence.” “Understand, this is all love,” Lee added.
Following Disney’s delay of Marvel Studios’ Deadpool 3 due to the actors strike, Paramount has made changes to next year’s schedule and beyond.
Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” has essentially finished its box-office run, and while the film fell short of the $1 billion mark—grossing $942.1 million worldwide—a three-hour biopic earning anything over $150 million at the box office globally is an astounding achievement these days and demonstrates how Nolan can “eventize” any subject and make it into an epic. While its Oscar prospects seem very high—sure to earn a Best Picture and Best Director nomination, among others—the film has its critics and had criticism lobbied at it.
