First of all, I lowered a little expectation for Christopher Nolan, who is known as a director with his trademark cinema whose originality gives birth "out of the box", and has a mind blowing storyline, because this film, 'Oppenheimer', is a Biopic-History genre with a scenario adapted according to a biographical book (J. Robert Oppenheimer), so the type of film plot is not like Nolan's works in general. However, the touch of science like Interstellar and Tenet's previous work, namely physics, will be narrative throughout the duration of this film, set in the true story of a physicist named J. Robert Oppenheimer, played by Cillian Murphy, in developing the atomic bomb.
Regarding the history of the second world war, which certainly did not escape political conflicts, Nolan divided the scenario in flashback, with which it would connect the storyline that slowly exposed the cause and effect of the film conflict, like the film Doku-Drama. And like Nolan's films in general, visual effects are highlighted in cinema that must amaze the audience, and greatly, Nolan arranges cinema with visual effects that give clues to the audience, which scenario focuses on Robert Oppenheimer's story before the trial, by choosing colored visual effects. While the black and white visual effects, which depict the time of Gloom of Robert Oppenheimer, which focuses on each trial scene, on allegations against him for alleged joining the communists, and the involvement of recruiting Russian scientists in the Manhattan project, which indicated to be the spy of the Soviet Union.
Uniquely, the use of visual effects of Nolan cinema this time, indicates semiotics in the dialogue scene between J. Robert Oppenheimer and Albert Einsten on the lake, where the scene is divided into POV (Point of View) scenarios, which initially points to Lewis Strauss' frame, when watching Einstein and Oppenheimer from a distance, so the conversation between the two physicists makes the audience's nucleus black and white, along with visual effects displayed in black and The conversation unfolds at the end of the film, as the frame leads to Robert Oppenhaimer's point of view, who comes to Einstein by the lake, with colored visual effects shown in this scene. But if you pay attention again, the scene from that part, can be said that Nolan uses Cliffhanger to create the same type of plot in the ending of Inception, as well as this film, the dialogue between Einsten and Oppenheimer can be said to be an ambiguous narrative, thus making various perceptions by each audience, as is the case with the totem tool that rotates at the end of the film Inception.
Overall, Christopher Nolan adapted the book 'American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer', by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. Nolan's interpretation leads viewers to look at history because the atomic bomb was made, which is fatal to world security. This can be seen from Robert's desire to make an atomic bomb, which was caused by the world political conflict that occurred at that time. He saw the Nazi regime that continued to oppress the Jews, of which Robert Oppenheimer was a Jew, indirectly he felt an identity awareness as a Jewish race, although ethically a physicist was unethical to use his expertise in political interests, nor his nation. But on the other hand, this film reveals the narrative that Germany and the Soviet Union, are trying to create a nuclear that can control the world, this reason is the most striking outlined by this film, so the Manhattan project was created which is the setting for the Oppenheimer film production, with very epic atomic bomb test scenes. Overall rating: 8,1/100.
