Oppenheimer is the biographical drama on the life of J Robert Oppenheimer by Christopher Nolan and as always, the director did not disappoint in blowing our minds. Keeping aside the storyline of the film, it has shot 70 mm film to give the audience a truly immersing experience, but that is apparently causing a hindrance, and several theatres have witnessed IMAX projectors crashing down. The Cillian Murphy-led film has been getting lauded by everyone across the globe, but Nolan’s obsession with IMAX is buffering a cinephile’s movie-watching experience.
The film, based on the life of the legendary theoretical physicist, who is credited as the father of the atomic bomb, has several layers in the storyline depicting his mental state before and after the Trinity test. Robert Downey Jr, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, and Florence Pugh all played their parts efficiently, but it was truly a Cillian Murphy show.
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer has extensively shot in colour and black and white, and the three-hour-long film was shot on 70 mm film, which is 11 miles long and weighs up to 600 pounds. A YouTuber, Patrick Tomasso, claimed and with proof, that the heavyweight reel has been breaking projectors. The YouTuber took to Twitter to share the news as to how the movie suddenly stopped in the theatres with still 40 minutes to go.
