The film is nonetheless the highest grossing biopic of all time.
Plot
바카라Oppenheimer바카라 revolves around J. Robert Oppenheimer, played by Cillian Murphy. He was the scientist behind the Manhattan Project, which aimed to create an atomic bomb during World War II.

The cast
바카라Oppenheimer바카라 features Cillian Murphy playing the titular character, J. Robert Oppenheimer. In an interview with Esquire U.K. earlier this year, he had shared how he prepared for the role, and said, 바카라There's a wealth of stuff out there and I will read it all," Murphy said. "I am never, ever going to understand quantum mechanics, no matter how hard or how many times people try to explain it to me. There's 0.0001 percent of the population on the planet who have the brainpower to understand that. But I can begin to understand, conceptually, what those guys were trying to do."
While Emily Blunt played Oppenheimer's wife, Kitty, Matt Damon and Robert Downey Jr. too are part of its cast. Downey starred as Lewis Strauss, who served two terms in the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. On the other hand, Damon starred as Lt. Gen. Leslie Groves, who overlooked the construction of the Pentagon and directed the Manhattan Project. Interestingly, Josh Harnett was cast as Ernest Lawrence in the film, as a nuclear physicist. Other members of the ensemble cast include Florence Pugh, as Oppenheimer's mistress, Jean Tatlock; Gary Oldman as President Harry S. Truman; and Jack Quaid and Rami Malek.

As Christopher Nolan helmed 바카라Oppenheimer바카라, it turned out to be his 12th film and sixth time working with Murphy. They had previously worked on three 바카라Batman바카라 films, 바카라Inception바카라 and 바카라Dunkirk바카라.
