Oppenheimer lead actor Cillian Murphy offers an interesting response when asked whether his central protagonist in the biographical thriller was a good guy or a villain.Speaking with Gold Derby, Murphy gave a “you be the judge” type of answer when delving into whether J. Robert Oppenheimer is a hero in the titular film. Murphy admitted his character was a complex one, but he tries to be open-minded with his characters, not judging them as good or bad whenever he takes a role. “I don’t ever make those types of decisions playing any character. I never put them into any category, good, bad, or different, I just try to understand them. I just try to figure them out,” he said. “He was so multi-faceted, so complex, so contradictory, it was a joy to play him. It was quite terrifying at the beginning. And he is such an iconic real-life figure. I’d never played somebody who was so well known.”“What I learned at the end is that I think he was intensely human, which is a great thing to play, because he was so flawed,” he said. “It was so huge that I just had to go at it bit by bit, just go at it slowly and carefully and with a lot of consideration and sensitivity and empathy. Which is what I always do, but even more so on this one because he is, as you say, quite divisive.”
