If You Like ‘Oppenheimer’ Then Add These To Your TBR
If you know Christopher Nolan’s work, then you know he is someone that likes to take a look inside the mind of his characters. He creates complex moral or ethical dilemmas without any concrete answers but instead focuses on the thought process of his characters. There are always grey areas in his films when it comes to crime, trauma, space, and time. The creation of the atomic bomb definitely had some lasting effects on the man who created it. J. Robert Oppenheimer. The book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin explores the nature of his decision. The only filmmaker that could truly capture the internal struggle of Oppenheimer is Nolan.
