On March 10, Oppenheimer could add another streak to his incredible career by winning several Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director for Christopher Nolan.
A potentially very good conclusion for this feature film, which has earned $957.6 million worldwide, pending an epilogue that took time to build.
Success and controversy
Because the movie will be released in Japanese theaters on March 29. Which was far from a victory last summer, with criticism from netizens and even the local branch of Warner Bros. Criticized the popular hashtag #Barbenheimer (which played on simultaneous releases of Barbie and Oppenheimer in theaters worldwide) for trivializing the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which killed more than 210,000 people in August 1945.
A drama that was left off-camera in Christopher Nolan’s film (much to the displeasure of some Spike Lee) and mentioned on the radio to remain in the point of view of the character played by Cillian Murphy. But this still reduced the chances of the feature film being released in Japan until now.
“I’m very happy to take a slower, more respectful approach to the Japanese market”
“I’m very happy that Universal took a slower, more respectful approach for this particular market. We didn’t release it everywhere as an average blockbuster.”– says the director in the last issue of the magazine Პirveliwhere it occupies the first page.
“It’s left to a local distributor, who can manage its distribution more carefully without having to anticipate the Japanese reaction to the film.”
“Let’s see how the film will be received there. All I can say is that overall, so far, the audience has understood my intent, which was really from this person’s point of view.
When I read it in the book American Prometheus “That Oppenheimer discovered the bombing at the same time as the rest of America and the rest of the world, I was amazed.”
See you in just a month to find out how the Japanese public reacts to Oppenheimer.
