《Oppenheimer》A summary of the stories of movie prototype characters

Oppenheimer, which has become popular all over the country recently, has become the favorite of countless viewers, attracting a large number of viewers. Not only is it addictive, the plot is ups and downs, fascinating, and the characters are vivid, it is deeply loved and praised by the audience.Today, the editor has compiled some content for you about the story of Oppenheimer, the prototype character in the movie.

Julius Robert Oppenheimer

American theoretical physicist.He served as the director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory during the Manhattan Project during World War II (the laboratory was responsible for the design and development of nuclear weapons at the time), and was the technical director of nuclear weapons development. Therefore, Oppenheimer was also recognized as the atomic bombFather%.This film revolves around his life, especially the process of presiding over the development of nuclear weapons in the Manhattan Project, the Trinity nuclear experiment, and the post-war safety hearings caused by his left-wing ideological tendencies as a consultant to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. Through these focuses, it reflectsIt reveals his rather fatalistic life path.

Oppenheimer's story is by no means as simple as a politically persecuted scientist. His great interest and philosophy in religion, especially Hinduism, his contributions to the field of science, his promotion of scientific education, and his mysterious and sometimes arrogant personalityHis charm, as well as his understanding and participation in politics and even his persecution by politics, make his multi-dimensional life worth exploring and studying. I hope Nolan's film can present a complex and three-dimensional Oppenheimer.

Oppenheimer's actorCillian MurphyHailing from Ireland, he has collaborated with Nolan on numerous occasions.My impression of him was established in "28 Days Later". After that, he also participated in many film and television masterpieces, but it seemed that he never became popular until he starred in the TV series "Peaky Blinders", which made his acting skills outstanding.It has received more recognition and praise, and its influence has been further enhanced. I hope that by cooperating with Nolan again for the first time as a starring role, Murphy's acting career can be taken to a higher level.

Leslie Groves

The person in charge of the Manhattan Project, affiliated with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. He was promoted to brigadier general when he joined the Manhattan Project. He led the construction of the famous Pentagon in 1941. His style is practical, loyal to his duties and able to lead well.The team gets the job done.Groves is played by a superstarMatt Damon, Damon's comedic style should complement Murphy's performance, bringing a touch of humor to the tense and even scary film.

Katherine Oppenheimer

Oppenheimer's wife is also a biologist. She also has a special identity. She is a member of the Communist Party of the United States. She had two marriages before Oppenheimer's marriage. When she was dating Oppenheimer,She was still in her second marriage. Later, because she was pregnant, she divorced her ex-husband and then married Oppenheimer. She was a woman who dared to love and hate. It is said that after Oppenheimer became famous due to the atomic bomb,She became addicted to alcohol.Catherine is played by a famous A-list actressEmily Blunt, she has presented many strong independent female images on the screen in recent years. I wonder how Nolan and Blunt will create this unique woman in this film.

Gene Tatlock

An American psychiatrist who graduated from Stanford Medical School, she is Oppenheimer’s ex-girlfriend, a member of the Communist Party of the United States, and a left-wing person. It is said that she was the guide for Oppenheimer’s left-wing thoughts. Oppenheimer had twoShe proposed to her for the first time but was rejected by her. Because of her relationship with Oppenheimer, she was secretly investigated and eavesdropped by the U.S. government before the Manhattan Project. Finally, she died in 1944 because she suffered from clear clinical depression.Year of suicide.The British actress who plays Tatlock in this filmFlorence Pugh, was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2020 for her role in Little Women. She is well-known to the public for playing the widowed sister Yelena in the Marvel movie Black Widow.

lewis strauss

The important villain in the film is a conservative politician. He served as chairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission during the Eisenhower administration and was a member of the commission during President Truman's era. In fact, he had an intersection with Oppenheimer at this time, and he himself was very fond of Oppenheimer.Mo was hostile and believed that the latter's left-wing ideological color was a potential problem for the safety of the nuclear weapons project.After serving as chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, he believed that Oppenheimer's security clearance must first be revoked and Oppenheimer excluded from the commission, so he was also the promoter of the 1954 safety hearings.He is played by Iron ManRobert Downey Jr., this is also the first time Downey has collaborated with Nolan. It is estimated that Downey will have a conflict with Murphy in this film, which is still very much expected.

Niels Bohr Denmark

A famous theoretical physicist, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922 for his research on atomic structure and radiation. Heisenberg's teacher, his debate with Einstein on concepts related to quantum mechanics is well known to the world. His research on nuclear weaponsResearch and development also plays an important role in promoting. Bohr fled Germany because of his opposition to the Nazis. The famous domestic drama - Copenhagen - is about the famous battle between Bohr and his student Heisenberg in 1941 that became a historical case.Private meeting.At the same time, his important relationship with the Manhattan Project makes him a character who may not have a lot of roles in the film, but cannot be ignored.Bohr is played by a famous British actorKenneth Branagh, in addition to the recent Detective Poirot, which he directed and starred in, his performance as the villain Andre in Nolan's last film - Creed - was also impressive.

Werner Heisenberg

This movie also shows that Werner Heisenberg, the German Physics Prize, is one of the founders of quantum mechanics. He proposed the famous uncertainty principle and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932 for his creation of quantum mechanics.Academic awards.Because he served the Nazi government, he was criticized by later generations; at the same time, he naturally became the technical leader of Nazi Germany's nuclear weapons program. Scientists such as Oppenheimer were worried that the Nazi German scientific community represented by him would take the lead.After developing nuclear weapons, they decided to develop them first to prevent the Nazis from having the power to destroy the world. This should also be the origin of the story of this film.Heisenberg is played by a German actorMatthias Schwiehof, he became famous for playing the legendary German pilot Richthofen in World War I in "The Red Baron".

Robert Seiber

An American physicist, the names of the three atomic bombs developed in the Manhattan Project - Little Boy, Slim Man, and Fat Man - were derived from him. His training courses on the basic principles and mission objectives of the Manhattan Project were printed into manuals and became a staple for everyone.A required course for researchers participating in this project.《The New York Times》evaluated him as “the wise midwife when the atomic bomb was born”.I believe the actor who plays Cyber ​​in the film will look familiar to many people. He is the American boy Jason who played Jason in the movie - The King of Kung Fu - co-starring Jet Li and Jackie Chan.Michael Angarano.

Richard Feynman

Theoretical physicist and Nobel Prize winner in physics.He was less than 25 years old when he participated in the Manhattan Project, but he immediately showed excellent abilities and a superhuman sense of humor, which are always important characteristics of Feynman himself.The young talent Dr. Feynman who plays the role in this film iswho became famous for the Black Robe Secret Service.Jack Quaid, he is the son of famous actors Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid. I personally feel that his performance of Feynman is quite vivid in terms of image and joy.

Lily Honig

A Czech-American chemist, she originally entered the Manhattan Project as a typist. Later, because her scientific research abilities were recognized, she was recruited into the project team to study the plutonium element.She was also a women's rights activist and later participated in a petition, hoping that nuclear weapons should not be used directly on Japan, but should be used as a deterrent on uninhabited islands to force Japan to surrender.Honig is played by American actress Olivia Thirlby in the film. She has appeared in Elliot Page's famous work - Juno - and my impression of her is in - SWATJudge 2012--she plays a rookie female police officerCassandra Anderson.

ernest lawrence

American Physics Prize, he won the 1939 Nobel Prize in Physics for the invention of the cyclotron. He designed and manufactured an electromagnetic isotope separator based on the cyclotron during the Manhattan Project to refine and enrich uranium.The famous Chinese female experimental physicist Wu Jianxiong was his student.Ernest is played by a famous actor in the filmJosh Hartnett, he once played Big Ben's good friend Danny in Pearl Harbor and became an idol star. He also has a wonderful performance in the sixth season of Black Mirror, which has just been launched.

Edward Tylor

A Hungarian-American theoretical physicist, he was one of the early planners of the Manhattan Project. During his exchanges with Fermi, he began to have a strong interest in nuclear fusion weapons, and gradually shifted from the development of atomic bombs to hydrogen bombs (more maverickNot executing according to the established plan), which made him later recognized as the father of the hydrogen bomb. He was also one of the scientists who actively advocated the use of nuclear weapons against Japan to prove his strength and determination.During the safety hearing against Oppenheimer, he made unfavorable testimony and was the only person in the scientific circle who agreed to revoke Oppenheimer's safety certification. This was later criticized by academic circles and society.Taylor also became more actively involved in politics and advocated the use of nuclear weapons to enhance national power. Therefore, he was also described as a mad scientist. It is said that he was also the inspiration for Kubrick's famous anti-war film - Dr. Strangelove.One of the sources.Taylor is played by an American actorBen Safdie, he is also a director and screenwriter. A rather unique movie in 2019 - Uncut Gems - was written and directed by him.

einstein

The most famous scientist in the world created the great theory of relativity and is generally regarded as the wisest scientist.Einstein is played by an old actor from ScotlandTom Conti, he has actually collaborated with Nolan, and played Colonel Lawrence in the famous film - Merry Christmas on the battlefield, but my strongest impression of him is in the Friends series, where he played Emily (The hilarious father who was briefly married to Ross.
