FAQs

How many rotten tomatoes did Oppenheimer get? ›

Summary. The R rating for Oppenheimer was earned through heavy themes, sex scenes, nudity, and mature language throughout the movie. Christopher Nolan ventured into new territory with Oppenheimer by delivering his most adult film, featuring graphic sex scenes and nudity.

Heavily based on "American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer" by Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin, the movie stays pretty faithful to the man's eventful, unusual life. But that doesn't mean there aren't some exaggerations or inconsistencies.

It's a wrap: The movie “Oppenheimer” dominated the 2024 Oscars. The blockbuster garnered the top awards, including best picture, acting honors for Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr., and best director for Christopher Nolan.

To date, Leave No Trace holds the site's record, with a rating of 100% and 252 positive reviews.

Nominated for 13 awards, Oppenheimer won seven, including Best Picture, Best Director for Christopher Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, and Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr.

In the US, the movie has earned an R rating for “sexuality, nudity, and language”, meaning that anyone under the age of 17 will require an adult guardian to accompany them if they want to see the film in cinemas. Oppenheimer's R-rating appears to stem from the movie's graphic sex scenes.

We see a woman's skin begin to peel from her face (not as graphic as it sounds), a man vomiting, and a charred corpse lying on the ground that is stepped in.

This one had to be on top of the reasons. A major reason to see "Oppenheimer" is because of the director and co-writer: Christopher Nolan. He has written and/or directed masterpiece movies such as "The Dark Knight," "Inception," and "Interstellar." This man is a superstar.

Oppenheimer was a tall, thin chain smoker, who often neglected to eat during periods of intense concentration. Many friends said he could be self-destructive. Fergusson once tried to distract Oppenheimer from apparent depression by telling him about his girlfriend, Frances Keeley, and how he had proposed to her.

Why was Oppenheimer banned in Japan? ›

Images on social media showed signs posted at the entrances to some Tokyo theatres, warning that the movie featured images of nuclear tests that could evoke the damage caused by the bombs.

Would history have played out in the same way? In the final scene, Oppenheimer asks him: “When I came to you with those calculations, we thought we might start a chain reaction that would destroy the entire world”, to which Einstein replies: “I remember it well. What of it?”. Oppenheimer replies; “I believe we did.”

'Oppenheimer' Review – Christopher Nolan Outdoes Himself with New Masterpiece.

In the year 1963, Sidney Poitier became the first black man to win an Academy Award for Best Actor, for his performance in Lilies Of The Field. Poitier was also the first Black man to be nominated for any acting Oscar for The Defiant Ones (1958).

The only person to win an acting Oscar without being nominated at all is actually a dog named "Uggie". Uggie won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor (in a canine role) for his performance in the 2011 film "The Artist".

“Oppenheimer” is a great achievement in formal and conceptual terms, and fully absorbing, but Nolan's filmmaking is, crucially, in service to the history that it relates.

Despite his early work on what would later become known as black holes, J. Robert Oppenheimer never won a Nobel Prize. In part, it may have been because the "father of the atomic bomb" lacked the focus of some of his colleagues and constantly moved from topic to topic.

“Oppenheimer,” Christopher Nolan's portrait of the father of the atomic bomb, won best picture Sunday at the 96th Academy Awards, along with six other awards.
