NOLAN\u2019S QUOTES ON \u2018OPPENHEIMER\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  • \u201cIf movies are a sort of collective dream, there\u2019s a sense in which Oppenheimer\u2019s a collective nightmare. Of all of the subject matter I\u2019ve dealt with, it\u2019s certainly the darkest.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \u201cAt the heart of the film, there\u2019s a pivot, and it\u2019s really the pivot between the successful Trinity test and then the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki \u2014 the actual use of the weapon. Whether we like it or not, we live in Oppenheimer\u2019s world, and we always will.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    • \u201cI know of no more dramatic tale with higher stakes. Like it or not, J. Robert Oppenheimer is the most important person who ever lived. He made the world that we live in for better or for worse. His story has to be seen to be believed.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      • \u201cWhen I\u2019m writing I try to be disciplined and not write with actors in mind because it’s limiting. If you’re writing from things you’ve seen them do before, you’re not going to challenge them fully on the page. Particularly dealing with a real-life figure, I’m trying to write the real-life Oppenheimer. Then when you finish, you know, I’m sitting there, looking at the copy of \u2018American Prometheus\u2019– the book I’m adapting – and there’s this picture of the real-life Oppenheimer with his intense blue-eyed stare looking out at me as it had been for months and suddenly, I’m like, OK, I know who can do that. And I’ve worked with Cillian for 20 years. I know he’s one of the great actors, but I’ve never worked with him as a leading man. So this time, I got to pick up the phone and say, OK, this is the one. This is the one where you take the center stage. And not just that but I’ve written the script in the first person. You’re going to have to take the audience with you. We’re going to see everything through your eyes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
