Christopher Nolan Describes Oppenheimer as Three Movies Put Together

Christopher Nolan explained how he played with multiple different genres while writing and directing Oppenheimer.As reported by @NolanAnalyst on X, Nolan discussed how he views Oppenheimer as three different movies in the book Unleashing Oppenheimer: Christopher Nolan’s Explosive Atomic-Age Thriller. “The film starts as a sort of heroic origin story, if you like: Young Oppenheimer,” the director claimed. “And then, in the middle of the film, when it jumps on to the Los Alamos project, it becomes a heist film, really. It’s about trying to put a team together and pull off an impossible project. In terms of imagery, I’ve always thought that part was very much a Western. The last act is a full-on courtroom drama. I’ve always been fascinated by courtroom dramas, I always wanted to make one.”Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy has discussed Nolan’s unique take on the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer. The actor, who has previously starred in five of Nolan’s films, including Batman Begins (an origin story) and Inception (a heist film), went as far as to call Oppenheimer’s screenplay the best he’s ever read. Talking about Nolan’s unconventional script, Murphy said, “So, [Nolan] wrote the script in first-person, which I’d never encountered and never experienced. It blew my mind. Also, I realized that was a huge responsibility because everything is kind of subjectively through Oppenheimer’s eyes, except for the black and white bits which are objectively from [Lewis] Strauss’ point of view. It was one of the best screenplays I’ve ever read, without a shadow of a doubt.”RELATED: Why Oppenheimer Doesn’t Have Any Deleted Scenes
