Oppenheimeran impressive success
Christopher Nolan’s latest film, Oppenheimer, has exceeded many people’s expectations. Although it isa three hour moviepartly black and white and centered on a scientific figure hitherto relatively unknown to the general public, the success is there.
Within weeks, the feature film picked up over $723 million in box office receipts worldwide. Which makes it Christopher Nolan’s fourth biggest hit to date, ahead of that Interstellar (2014).
These figures are even more impressive when you consider thisOppenheimerwhich is interested in the life of the “father of the atomic bomb”, is not worn by big stars. Cilian Murphy He could be a talented and recognized actor, we didn’t think he could attract such a huge audience in theaters. And even if Robert Downey Jr. has long embodied Iron Man in Marvel superproductions, his presence remains rather minimal in the film.
Florence Pugh, a role that matters
It’s the same for Florence Pughan increasingly well-known figure on the rise (Mid summer, Black Widow, Don’t worry honey), who is only entitled to a handful of scenes in Oppenheimer.
However, its character matters. She plays Jean Tatlock, one of J. Robert Oppenheimer’s first loves. A woman far from any romanticism but who will suffer despite everything because of the scientist.
The impact it has on him is undeniable. Especially with his tragic fate, which means that Oppenheimer will be confronted with death for the first time in a concrete way and come out extremely disturbed, as an announcement of his faults to come.
Christopher Nolan’s apology
Florence Pugh appears little in the film and Christopher Nolan would have been enough I’m sorry I can’t offer you more. In an interview given to MTVthe actress revealed that the director was even he apologized when offered the role. She would admit that Jean’s presence was rather small and that he would fully understand if Florence Pugh had preferred to refuse.
I remember (Nolan) apologizing for the size of the role. I told him it wasn’t necessary. Then he replied, ‘We’ll send you the script and you’ll just have to read it and decide… And, honestly, if size is an issue, I completely understand.’ I remember the night I received the script I said to myself, “I don’t need to check… I know I will.”
For the actress, the size of the role was so It does not matter. No matter what Christopher Nolan wanted to offer her, she wanted to work with him. And she too could have agreed to appear only as an extra.
I knew Chris really wanted me to know that it wasn’t a very big role and that he would understand if I didn’t want to. And I thought, “It doesn’t matter.” Even if I work as a waitress in the back of a bar, I’m ready.
As Constantin Stanislavsky said: “There are no small roles, there are only small actors“, and this is confirmed by what Florence Pugh was able to bring playing Jean. And although Nolan is criticized for this type of treatment, it is not without recalling the cinema of Michael Mann, of which even “the smallest roles” gave rich and remarkable performanceslike Tom Sizemore in Heat.
