I did not know much about him until now reading, joggle down some naggets of interest:
"Growing up, Nolan was particularly influenced by the work ofRidley Scottand the science fiction films2001: A Space Odyssey(1968) andStar Wars(1977).[4][5]He would repeatedly watch the latter film and extensively research its making.[6]Nolan began making films at the age of seven, borrowing his father'sSuper8 cameraand shooting short films with his action figures.[7]These films included astop motion animationhomage toStar WarscalledSpace Wars. He cast his brother Jonathan and built sets from "clay, flour, egg boxes and toilet rolls".[4]His uncle, who had worked atNASAbuilding guidance systems for theApollorockets, sent him some launch footage: "I re-filmed them off the screen and cut them in, thinking no-one would notice", Nolan later remarked.[8]From the age of 11, he aspired to be a professional filmmaker.[9]Between 1981 and 1983, Nolan enrolled at Barrow Hills, a Catholic prep school inWeybridge, Surrey.[10]In his teenage years, Nolan started making films with Adrien andRoko Belic. Nolan and Roko co-directed thesurreal8mmTarantella(1989), which was shown onImage Union, an independent film and video showcase on thePublic Broadcasting Service.[a][12][13]
Christopher Edward Nolan CBE (born 30 July 1970) is a British and American filmmaker. Known for his Hollywood blockbusters with complex storytelling, Nolan is considered a leading filmmaker of the 21st century. His films have grossed $5 billion worldwide."
Nolan is married to Emma Thomas, whom he met at University College London when he was 19.[9][16] She has worked as a producer on all of his films since 1997.[43][170] The couple have four children and reside in Los Angeles.[171]
Rarely granting promotional interviews about his films, Nolan prefers to maintain a certain level of mystery about his work.[172] Refusing to discuss his personal life,[173] he feels that too much biographical information about a filmmaker detracts from the experience of his audiences. "I actually don't want people to have me in mind at all when they're watching the films."[172]

The ‘Oppenheimer’ Cast on Filming the Trinity Test, Immersing Themselves in Their Characters, & More
Smart angle of matt damon, despite being on the film itself, looked more excited than us, he was so happy and enthusiastic to explain the movie/experience from a spectator (a viewer). 7:24 - 10:34 Matt Damons response was so articulate and insightful he kept my interest for 3 minutes straight
my conviction was I did not recognize Robert Downey Jr. in the movie as he has been a hero figure in my mind, being a vallain here.
Emily Blunt acted as "Kitty" - at 29 YO, got 4 husbands! 23:15 It's really not cliche to say: behind every strong man is a stronger woman. This movie, the Oppenheimer husband and wife dynamic, defines that figure of speech perfectly.
I fully agreed on "@therunner8733. 1 month ago (edited). It’s one of those rare films. You walk away and your head is absolutely spinning. I genuinely had a headache after watching it (don’t let that put you off though). It just had so much weight, so much suspense, and so many fantastic performances. It’s such an important film. It’s about accountability, ethics, brilliance, genius, innovation, infidelity, marriage, opening a door you can’t close, and about being the hero one day, and the villain the next. Completely fair to argue that he was both. You can’t deal in absolutes here. There’s a lot of grey. Masterpiece"
"@DivijSonak1 month ago (edited)
A real class act by the interviewer Jacqueline Coley. She knew the relevant details about the movie as well as Oppenheimer's life and posed topical, meaningful, and intelligent questions that kept everyone interested, all while switching effortlessly from one person to another. Overall, she struck a fine balance giving everyone their moment in the sun, without letting anyone overpower or dominate the conversation. Those are some of the smartest people in the room and to hold their own against them in something they've worked on is phenomenal. Quality stuff!"

*** My thoughts came upon the movie:
thinking is hard, so most people just follow.
‘Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge’
This famous second quote from Carl Jung (which has been queried as whether entirely accurate) is simple - Clearly, others affect our behavior.
One reason for this is that we live in a complex world. We use the decisions of others as a heuristic, or mental shortcut, to navigate our lives. [顯然，其他人會影響我們的行為。 原因之一是我們生活在一個複雜的世界。 我們利用他人的決定作為啟發式或心理捷徑來引導我們的生活。]

Resources: the top 10 quotes and why?
The driver, the central theme:
#1--"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
J. Robert Oppenheimer
[Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer]
Taken from the Hindu sacred text the Bhagavad Gita, this infamous quote has been closely connected to the real-life Oppenheimer. Originally, he stated these words 20 years after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings on an NBC News documentary entitled The Decision to Drop the Bomb.
In the film, it is spoken twice: once in a sex scene with Jean Tatlock and later in the breathless wake of the Trinity test. The quote bookends Oppenheimer’s journey, showing the transition from his idyllic intellectual desires to his confrontation with the lived truth behind the words.

1 month ago
There's a moment in Oppenheimer where they write out the expected yield of the bombers being thousands to millions of tons and Oppenheimer literally says I'm not saying that... How about kilotons. I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!! You're a dilettante, a womanizer, unstable, theatrical, neurotic. Omg he's literally me. I did not think the sex scene was weird even though apparently everyone else does and I'm now questioning various things.
The actual atomic bomb scene was some other worldly horror that literally froze the entire audience The guy who invented the concept of an ICBM is portrayed as like a real psycho and creep, which I don't know if it's true, but it's kind of hilarious. He talks about watching v2's land on the city he was hiding out in and describes how he'd dreamed of putting an atomic bomb on top of one of those missiles.
Also, when you add in the neurosis the womanizing, the sort of underlying uncertainty over whether he's a horrendous criminal with a guilt complex or a good and noble man and the cool Cillian Murphy behavior. I think we've just got another literally me that people will be making YouTube edits of for years. That's gonna be weird.
#2--"Why won't you fight?"
Katherine "Kitty" Oppenheimer
[Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer]
Image via Universal Studios
Emily Blunt’s Kitty Oppenheimer is the underlying heartbeat of the film. A woman struggling to stand idly by as history consumes her, she repeats this line to her husband throughout, challenging him to write his own record of history.
The answer to the posed question holds clarity to Oppenheimer’s character, especially his moral attitudes following the Trinity test. He is a shell of a man, as seen in the horrifying gymnasium speech, and finding the courage to object to history as it’s being written is at the very core of this quote.
#3--"I believe we did."
J. Robert Oppenheimer
[Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer.]
Image via Universal Pictures
The shattering final words of Christopher Nolan’s screenplay find Oppenheimer admitting to Albert Einstein (Tom Conti) that he views his actions as changing the world for the worse. His act of discovery led humanity down a dark path with no escape.
Reserved yet wholly impactful, the entire film approaches this moment when Oppenheimer finally admits the danger in his creation. As he looks at the ripples in the rain, he begins to understand the reality ahead of him, both in his lifetime and in history’s memory. A stunning quote that captures Oppenheimer’s central tenets with power, poise, and prestige.
#5--"Hiroshima isn't about you."
President Harry S. Truman
[Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer in 'Oppenheimer' ]
Image via Universal Pictures
One of the more devastating lines from the film, after the bombings in Japan, has branded Oppenheimer “The Father of the Atomic Bomb,” he goes to visit President Truman (Gary Oldman). When he tells the 33rd President he has “blood on his hands,” Truman stiffly responds with this callous quote.
What’s so ugly about this exchange, ending with another distressing line when Truman interjects “Don’t let the crybaby back in here,” is that nobody, not even the President, truly understood the weight of what Oppenheimer had to endure – and, more importantly, the weight of what they have all done.
#7--"Is anyone ever going to tell the truth?"
J. Robert Oppenheimer
[Jason Clarke in Oppenheimer]
Image via Universal Pictures
As William Borden reads his inaccurate and inflammatory attack letter at the behest of the Gray Board and Roger Robb (Jason Clarke), Oppenheimer quietly utters this line to his attorney.
RELATED:The Best Cillian Murphy Movies, Ranked According To Rotten Tomatoes
The startling realization that dawns on Oppenheimer during his private trial that ultimately took away his security clearance is their ambivalence to the truth. It’s an example of when he recognizes his own naïveté and is shaken by the perils of the new world he finds himself in.
#8. "Power stays in the shadows."
Lewis Strauss
Lewis Strauss instantly became an iconic villain standing beside Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher) in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Noah Cross (John Huston) in Chinatown. Robert Downey Jr.'s assured performance crafted a believable opportunist, horrific for how common his breed of politician is to this day.
This quote may as well be Strauss’ thesis, which is fitting given the black-and-white visual identity his scenes have. It’s a cold line that represents his objective and ultimately explains his downfall when he tries to emerge from the shadows unscathed after his manipulative actions against Oppenheimer.
Lewis StraussSpoken by Lewis Strauss (Robert Downey Jr.) during his duplicitous meeting with William Borden (David Dastmalcian) when planning their attack letter on Oppenheimer, this quote embodies Strauss’ personal justification for tearing down Oppenheimer’s social stature and solidifies him as an unforgettable villain from the movie.
It’s a line that epitomizes Strauss’ professional pursuits. Later, he states the line again when he realizes his chance at becoming Commerce Secretary is unlikely after Dr. David Hill’s (Rami Malek) congressional appearance. Much like how “I am become Death” is the bookend for Oppenheimer’s growth, this line is the same for Strauss.
#4--"You don't get to commit sin, and then ask all of us to feel sorry for you when there are consequences."
Katherine "Kitty" Oppenheimer
[oppenheimer-cillian-murphy-emily-blunt]
Image via Universal Pictures
After the news of Jean Tatlock’s (Florence Pugh) suspected suicide riddles Oppenheimer with pain and heartbreak, Kitty (Emily Blunt) shakes him out of his stupor with this quote. She lets go of her restraint and for a brief moment shares her authentic self, a rare chance for her.
RELATED:The Most Emotional Movie Quotes, According To Reddit
Nolan was unafraid to depict the horrors of this story with the ambiguity it clearly deserves. In his moment of suffering, Nolan doesn’t let Oppenheimer off easy. Kitty maintains a dignity because of this line that most filmmakers would pass up for a more traditional husband-wife dynamic.

THE DECISION TO BOMB HIROSHIMA
By Gar Alperovitz|August 8, 2011
Today is the 66th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. Though most Americans are unaware of the fact, increasing numbers of historians now recognize the United States did not need to use the atomic bomb to end the war against Japan in 1945. Moreover, this essential judgment was expressed by the vast majority of top American military leaders in all three services in the years after the war ended: Army, Navy and Army Air Force. Nor was this the judgment of “liberals,” as is sometimes thought today. In fact, leading conservatives were far more outspoken in challenging the decision as unjustified and immoral than American liberals in the years following World War II.

回答: 哦哦，你能把诺兰说的和我说的相提并论我受宠若惊。可能证明你本人并不是一个趋炎附势之人，只就事论事。 由 大兔子张三 于 2023-09-04 17:58:28
say the truth. stay truth. be the truth.
What is the famous quote all roads lead to Rome?
Some say the proverb all roads lead to Rome may be derived from a phrase coined by French poet Alain de Lille in the Middle Ages in 1175: “mille vie ducunt hominem per secula Romam,” which means “a thousand roads lead a man forever toward Rome.”
All paths or activities lead to the center of things. This was literally true in the days of the Roman Empire, when all the empire's roads radiated out from the capital city, Rome.
What does all roads lead to Rome mean?
The figurative expression, All roads lead to Rome, means that all choices, methods, or actions eventually lead to the same result. In ancient Roman times, this statement had a more literal meaning. The Roman Empire had an advanced system of roads, and all major roads led directly to the capital.

感謝JON用非常白話的方式和時間線來整理解釋劇情，不然以諾蘭很喜歡用不同時空背景或不同視角交錯的敘事方式我每次都看得很吃力(敦克爾克也是) 我在另一位影評那邊看到他說，最後聽證會上不支持奧本海默的泰勒或許就是因為奧本海默的言行一直看起來都是矛盾的，包括看起來是民主愛國的美國人卻認同共產理念、婚姻中的背叛、原子彈試爆成功發表感言卻又對原子彈帶來的傷害感到愧疚、參與氫彈設計和研究卻又公開反對製造氫彈...這些矛盾的行為造成泰勒的不信任，我覺得這也是滿合理的解釋方式。無論如何很喜歡你的解析，還有最後的科普也很棒，用非常好懂得比喻讓人很好理解和消化，第一次看這個頻道已訂閱起來，希望之後還有更多理科小教室或是討論的影片，感謝
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rp63vUpVl0

I am quite sure that people fall into the 2 groups alluded to but I don't think optimist is the best word to describe someone in group 1, and I don't think pessimist is the best word to describe someone in group 2. I think perhaps willfully stupid people and sadly wise people are better names.

@GreenmiIe Yes, indeed, I retained the same verb in each of Dr Oppenheimer's 2 sentences, and retained the same object in each. All I did was change the subject. Instead of optimist I said willfully stupid people. Instead of pessimist I said sadly wise people. I felt no need to use the article the in each sentence. So I removed the 2 article words. But I did not add any extra "steps" Rather, I added one adverb and one adjective to each sentence. Those are not steps. Those are noun-modifiers. They do not describe actions; they describe things. So because I removed 2 words and added 4, the whole paragraph became just 2 words longer. And I think the term willfully stupid people is better at describing what kind of person thinks "this" is the best of all possible worlds than the word "optimist" does. Why? because "the best of all possible worlds" refers to the world we have at the time of Dr O's comment, refers to the world of Dr O's "now." An optimist is someone who is thinking about the future, as opposed to someone who is thinking about a "now." .So it's the wrong word. Sadly wise pessimist is a better subject for sentence number 2 than pessimist. Again a pessimist is thinking about the future. A sadly wise person is someone thinking about the present, the "now." I say "now" because Dr O is referring to how someone thinks about "this world" – he uses the term "this world," not some future world, but this world.

@GreenmiIe Mark Twain said, never use a big word if a small word will do. It is not "dumbing down" to use a word that is more widely understood, and more readily comprehensible. It is clearer speaking, it is better writing. It is less pretentious..

Oppenheimer is widely regarded as the father of the atomic bomb, but he didn’t do it alone. Scores of scientists were exiled from Germany, as anti-Jewish laws proliferated. America welcomed many of them, and this openness gave the country the tools it needed to win the race for the bomb.
Unfortunately, though, it wouldn’t be long after victory in WWII that America set its sights on a new enemy: communism. Despite their enormous service to the country, many scientists were swept up in the anti-communist crusade and betrayed…including Oppenheimer.
