If there is something that Paul Schrader understands, it is cinema, having in his extensive curriculum the screenplay of “Taxi Driver” and the direction of “Mishima: Uma Vida em Quatro Tempos”. Based on this knowledge, he used a social network to classify “Oppenheimer” as “the film of the century”.
For those in a hurry:
Check out the director’s post below:
‘Oppenheimer’. The best and most important film of this century. If you see a movie in theaters this year, it has to be “Oppenheimer.” I’m no Nolan groupie, but this one blew the doors off their hinges.
Other reactions to ‘Oppenheimer’
Initial reactions to the film, following its world premiere in Paris in early July, were overwhelming. Check out some examples below:
For starters, Lindsey Bahr, writing about film for the Associated Press, “Oppenheimer” is a “spectacular achievement.”
Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’ is truly a spectacular achievement, in its concise and truthful adaptation, inventive storytelling and nuanced performances by Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon and many, many others involved, some just to a scene. .
Jonathan Dean, writing for The Sunday Times, posted that he was “totally taken” by Nolan’s new film.
Completely engrossed in ‘Oppenheimer’, a dense, talkative and tense film partly about the bomb, [mas] mainly about how we are doomed. Murphy is good, but support is essential: Damon, Downey Jr and Ehrenreich also bring jokes. A bold, inventive and complex film to shock its audience.
To close, a comment by Robbie Collin, film critic of the Telegraph, who left Twitter curious to say the least:
And for everyone who’s complained about the lack of sex in Christopher Nolan’s previous work… dude, you’ll see [cenas de] have sex as only Nolan can [dirigir]”.
The film
The process of making the three-hour film – the longest in Nolan’s curriculum – told actor Robert Downey Jr., who plays Lewis Strauss, former US secretary of commerce to the Hollywood Reporter:
There were no people running around with their cellphones. There was no computer graphics village. There was no chair named after him. It was focused and spartan, almost a monastic approach to what we did.
“Oppenheimer” is a historical drama film directed by Nolan and based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning biopic “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer,” written by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin.
Set in World War II, the feature film (three hours) follows the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), a theoretical physicist at the University of California and director of the Los Alamos Laboratory during the Manhattan Project, whose mission was to design and build the first atomic bombs.
The plot accompanies the physicist and a group of other scientists throughout the process of developing the nuclear weapon responsible for the tragedies in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in 1945.
In addition to Cillian Murphy, the cast includes other well-known names. Among them are: Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Gary Oldman, Gustaf Skarsgård and Rami Malek.
The movie hits theaters on July 21 – coincidentally, the same day as “Barbie.” Coincidence that, together with heavy marketing campaigns, has produced many memes.
Post “Oppenheimer” is the “film of the century,” says the screenwriter of the cult classic that first appeared on Olhar Digital.
