"If Daniel Brühl were a natural American or British talent, without a doubt he'd be a household name, based on the level of his acting ability but also on who he is, he's here for the long haul, he's highly intelligent, balanced, sensible... He's complex enough as a human being to be able to do justice to the most complex parts."

— "Rush" screenwriter Peter Morgan (LA Times, 2013)

'We are accustomed to hearing historians protest that biopics mangle the truth. And we are used to hearing screenwriters such as Aaron Sorkin and Peter Morgan respond that it is legitimate to scramble chronology, invent composite characters and fabricate incidents in order to tell a deeper truth. But there has been little controversy about the authenticity of Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. For the most part, the writer-director has chosen the historian's responsibility over the dramatist's liberty.

It is testament to the inherent drama of Oppenheimer's life, and of the Manhattan Project's three-year effort to design and build an atomic bomb, that the vast majority of the film's most memorable scenes and lines are taken straight from Kai Bird and Martin J Sherwin's book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J Robert Oppenheimer, or from contemporary sources. Still, there are a few fabrications, including two pivotal scenes that elaborate on the same truth: the scientists who built the bomb were genuinely worried that it would accidentally bring about the end of the world.

The first of these scenes comes on the eve of the Trinity test, the detonation of the world's first atomic bomb, after Enrico Fermi (Danny Deferrari) takes bets on whether the blast will destroy the world. Lt Gen Leslie Groves (Matt Damon) asks Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) what Fermi meant, leading to a conversation about apocalyptic possibilities and the impossibility of absolute certainty in theoretical science.

In reality, as head of the Manhattan Project, Groves would have been well aware of the theory that inspired Fermi's dark joke. Back in July 1942, Edward Teller (played by Benny Safdie in the movie) had raised the possibility that the bomb might generate temperatures sufficiently intense to set off a thermonuclear chain reaction in the atmosphere – igniting atoms of nitrogen, hydrogen or both – and "encircle the globe in a sea of fire". When Oppenheimer informed Arthur Compton, who worked on chain reactions at the Metallurgical Laboratory in Chicago, Compton was willing to halt the whole project unless the doomsday scenario could be ruled out. "Better to accept the slavery of the Nazis than to run a chance of drawing the final curtain on mankind!" he theatrically recalled in 1959, making the incident public for the first time. The Americans had no way of knowing that in Germany, where Werner Heisenberg ran the Nazi bomb programme, Hitler was also concerned that his physicists might "set the globe on fire".

The physicist Hans Bethe soon revealed the flaws in Teller's theory and assured Oppenheimer that a chain reaction was "extremely unlikely, to say the least" – less than three in one million, according to Compton. Teller made his own calculations shortly before Trinity and found "no reason to believe that the test shot would touch off the destruction of the world".

When the bomb went off, however, some witnesses were suddenly unsure. The blast of white, silent light lasted for so long before the boom that the Italian physicist Emilio Segrè confessed to fearing that "the explosion might set fire to the atmosphere and thus finish the Earth, even though I knew that this was not possible".

Nolan uses this potent red herring to represent the almost supernatural dread inspired by the bomb. He picks it up again in another imagined scene which gives the movie its chilling finale: a lakeside conversation between Oppenheimer and Albert Einstein (Tom Conti) in Princeton in 1946. The two scientists suggest that the bomb really did threaten the end of the world, just not at Trinity.

A 'hideous power'

The film has been criticised for not depicting the impact of the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and not challenging the claim that it was militarily necessary, but that is true to Oppenheimer's perspective. Although he told US President Truman that he felt like he had blood on his hands, his doomed post-war efforts towards international arms control and thwarting the development of the exponentially more destructive hydrogen bomb were less about atoning for what had happened than preventing something much worse.

"It was indeed the bizarre nature of the bomb, and the uncanny sort of future it suggested, rather than its actual results in the war, that impressed people," wrote Vannevar Bush, chairman of the National Defense Research Committee, in 1949, observing that the firebombing of Japanese cities had been no less horrific but far less controversial. Even though an overwhelming majority of Americans supported the bombings, many were haunted by premonitions of an American Hiroshima, like the one Murphy's Oppenheimer hallucinates in the film.

The future was Oppenheimer's priority. While the use of the bomb was never his decision, he did seem to believe that, in the long run, it was the lesser of two evils. In 1939, he knew that the achievement of nuclear fission made a bomb inevitable. In 1945, he believed that the bomb made nuclear war inevitable, unless its hideous power could be demonstrated to the world before the current conflict ended. "They won't fear it until they understand it," he says in the film, "and they won't understand it until they've used it". Colleagues including Teller and Niels Bohr (played by Kenneth Branagh) agreed, although for them, this belief that using the bomb could avert future wars did not make it any less terrible.

Nolan's decision to tell the story of the bomb through Oppenheimer's eyes – not just his experiences but also his concerns – gives the film its contemporary urgency. What was done to Hiroshima and Nagasaki is history, but the existential threat of nuclear weapons is still with us, as Oppenheimer knew it would be.

This awareness is captured in his most famous quotation. The physicist later claimed that at Trinity he had thought of a line from the Bhagavad Gita – "Now I am become Death, destroyer of worlds" – but nobody heard him say it on the day, so Nolan uses voiceover sleight of hand to acknowledge the ambiguity. Perhaps the line was a retrospective bid for gravitas, or a plea for forgiveness, and Oppenheimer was playing screenwriter with his own life. But it carries that deeper truth. Regardless of the globe-of-fire theory, or what Truman decided to do, Oppenheimer knew in that bright white moment that his work had radically changed the world, and might one day end it.'

I've edited your message. This is what to me it should look like:

gillian has been "back with peter since april 2021". the photo of ddga with stella the dog was taken at his home (set-up) - and there is picture "evidence" some fans will buy hook, line and sinker.

Well those delusional David Stans think Tea was the love of David’s life and sugar tits healed his broken heart.😂 As for PM those Gillian obsessives don’t care they say Gillian has never spoke of a man in public like him. Cognitive dissonance is neither sides strongest suit. They can’t read the room and see how transactional it all is. One Gillian Stan even dismisses how he treated his wife and his wife’s own words on him, saying she’s just bitter. I agree with you, when both are over they’ll Stans will move on and back to thinking they have a chance with their idols. The David wants me and Gillian is a closet lesbian contingent.

Gillian talked about Peter so much that it tired most of her fans, but suddenly it turns out that Gillian has a family business with the Morgan family. What a surprise! It remains to attract Peter's wife to make the business more aristocratic and the whole family will be together😂 David's relationship causes me nothing but laughter and disgust. I wonder what part of David's kept woman's anatomy cured his broken heart? It seems that David's heart is somewhere below his waist😂

watched the crown part 2

*spoilers*

Carole Middleton a lady Macbeth / Mrs Bennett character, it’s kinda delusional mom / funny if you don’t take it seriously. But interesting that the parent who grew up in a council house (early years) is the one made out to be conniving. 🍵

they have Carole and Kate meeting William with Diana selling a magazine which really adds no substance to the story apart from making Carole the plotting mother.

the actor who plays William is very good, they’ve made him simpy, dutiful to his granny, moody and obsessed with wanting to know Kate. His voice just sounds like William 90% of the time.

there’s a lot of talk about death for Philip and Elizabeth as if they didn’t have 15 years left to do much more.

Harry is just portrayed as the guy who takes weed, wears nazi uniforms and talks about how William ii was killed by his younger brother Henry… I mean 😅

there was a lot of meaningful moments especially for the queen, and for William but then some sloppy writing which Morgan keeps falling for in recent seasons for some reason.

Also I’ve never watched the Diana movie with Kirsten Stewart but from what I know of the movie it sounds like Morgan was heavily influenced by it this season especially with the inner dialogue of the queen and the ‘ghost’ of Diana showing up.

minus mean Carole I really like the scenes with Kate and William, I wanted more 😭
