Oppenheimer finally premiered Friday in the nation where two cities were obliterated 79 years ago by the nuclear weapons invented by the American scientist who was the subject of the Oscar-winning film. Japanese filmgoers' reactions were understandably mixed and highly emotional....
British-American filmmaker Christopher Nolan, fresh from his Oscar victory for historical drama "Oppenheimer", will receive a knighthood from Britain for services to film. His wife and film producer Emma Thomas will receive a damehood, the female equivalent of a knighthood, the British government said on Thursday in a list of...
I was interviewed along with other scholars and activists about the film “#Oppenheimer" in today's edition of the Chugoku Shimbun, our local newspaper here in Hiroshima.
My general take as reported here is that the film essentially repeats the decades old American narrative of the #nuclear attacks on #Hiroshima & #Nagasaki. It tells a story about Americans and not Japanese people. It is a story about great scientists, great technology and great industrial capacity. It is a story about American exceptionalism, and not about the use of weapons of mass destruction against a civilian population.
It's the biggest thing to happen to Ballintemple since George Boole caught his death of cold walking home from Queen's College Cork in the rain in 1864.
News that will surprise precisely no one: Cillian Murphy wins the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in "Oppenheimer." IndieWire talked to the Irish actor about how he created the character.
#Oppenheimer feared nuclear annihilation – and only a chance pause by a Soviet submarine officer kept it from happening in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis, as it gave him time to rethink before firing his nuclear torpedo/.
“World War III was very likely averted as a result of a brief delay in time caused by a sailor who happened to be stuck in the right place at the right time..."
For the past 13 years, the Hollywood Reporter's Ben Zaumer has been using a mathematical model to predict the Oscars. Here's what he says is going to happen tonight — "Oppenheimer," Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. and DaVine Joy Randolph seem like dead certs in their categories, but it's a coin-toss between Lily Gladstone and Emma Stone for Best Actress. Here's the full rundown.
With 13 Oscar nominations, all signs point to #Oppenheimer as the star of the 96th #AcademyAwards. But a historian – whose research has revolved around the survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing – explains why they are disappointed by the award-winning film.
“Yet again, the dominant narrative of the bombs chugs along,” writes Naoko Wake of Michigan State University. And the victims aren’t shown.
Finally watched #Oppenheimer. I tend to wait a long time for overhyped movies that win a lot of awards so as to get some distance between me and popular opinion. Especially for Chris Nolan movies. Suffice to say, I have never been a fan. The academy always has a soft spot for blacklist stories.
"Oppenheimer" is nominated for 13 Oscars this year and Christopher Nolan is a frontrunner for Best Director. Here's @IndieWire ranking of his entire filmography, from his debut in 1998 to today. Which of his 12 movies is your favorite (this poll is in order of IndieWire's preference, with "Dunkirk" as the publication's top pick)?
Finally got around to watching #Oppenheimer and, of course, looked immediately to see what Hugh Gusterson had to say about it. My favorite anthropologist, national security scholar, and occasional movie critic.
