Writer/director Christopher Nolan weaves his usual time travel into this historical story by jumping around various years of the life of Robert Oppenheimer.
Starring Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Florence Pugh
Very creative way to take a 1000 page nonfiction book, American Prometheus, and turn it into something very different for the mass market.
There are 3 distinct acts - first, the introductory years which is where Albert Einstein comes in, then the Building process which is the classic training academy, and finally an interesting twist in act 3. Almost like a final courtroom scene, reminiscent of Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises (2012).
Interesting use of black and white photography as well as the Anti-Semitism of the day.
