Oppenheimer has a ‘complicated ending’ and Inception-like, says Nolan

A little less than a month after the official premiere of Oppenheimer in theaters around the world, director Christopher Nolan started doing some interviews to promote the film. In one of them, the filmmaker revealed how the production has a “complicated ending” and similar to The originreleased on August 6, 2010 in Brazilian theaters.

During an interview with wired, nolan was asked about the endings of his films, which have a pessimistic tone – and the director confirmed this. “I mean, the end of The origin, that’s exactly it. There’s a nihilistic view of that ending, right? But then again, he’s moved out and is with his kids,” she said. “Ambiguity is not emotional ambiguity. It’s intellectual for the audience.”

It’s funny, I think there’s an interesting relationship between the endings of The origin It is Oppenheimer to be explored. Oppenheimer has a tricky ending. Complicated feelings.

At another point in the conversation, the director spoke a little more about the plot of his next film, which opens on July 20, 2023 in Brazil. “The history of Oppenheimer it’s all about impossible questions,” he said. “Impossible ethical dilemmas, paradox. There are no easy answers in history.”

“There are just tough questions, and that’s what makes the story so compelling. I think we were able to find a lot of things to be optimistic about in the movie, genuinely, but there’s this kind of bigger question that looms over it,” he continued. Christopher Nolan.

It seemed essential that there be questions at the end that you leave bouncing around in people’s heads and sparking discussion.
