Why 'Oppenheimer' Doesn'Oppenheimer' Doesn't Show the Hiroshima or Nagasaki Bombings — Here's Why't Show the Hiroshima or Nagasaki Bombings
The Big Picture Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer, as the name suggests, is a biopic from Christopher Nolan about the “father of the atomic bomb." It follows J. Robert Oppenheimer from his beginnings in academia through the Manhattan Project, culminating in a dramatic fall from grace engineered by government bureaucrats when he starts speaking out against his most famous invention.
The answer, of course, is no. But the interesting thing about Oppenheimer, and part of what makes it an all-time great biopic, is that it doesn’t suggest otherwise. In fact, that sense of removal from the carnage is part of the film’s whole point. There’s a reason why the film is called Oppenheimer, rather than American Prometheus or Destroyer of Worlds or something: it is intensely focused on the man himself, to the point where much of the script was written in the first person.
Oppenheimer's Guilt Was Partially Self-Serving The bombings occur, and because Oppenheimer doesn’t see them, we don’t see them. We see his inner turmoil, certainly, but he has no inside information at this point: as Nolan points out, he’s in the same boat as the average civilian at home. When Oppenheimer approaches President Truman with concerns that he has “blood on his hands,” Truman responds with scorn.
