The film’s screenplay was based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book Oppenheimer: The Triumph and Tragedy of the Father of the Atomic Bomb by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. Nolan’s production stars Cillian Murphy as the titular character, and the film picks up during World War II, when physicist Robert Oppenheimer was in charge of the infamous Manhattan Project. The purpose of the secret program funded by the American government was to create the first fully functional and controllable atomic bomb. In the film we will also see the further fate of the scientist, when he strongly opposed the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
Nolan’s daughter in “Oppenheimer” played a character who will come into direct contact with the atomic bomb
The director of “Oppenheimer” in a recent interview with “” confirmed the information that his daughter Flora Nolan will appear in his latest film in an unusual role. The girl played the role of a young woman whose face … melts as a result of a nuclear explosion. We needed someone for a small role in this somewhat experimental and spontaneous sequence. It was great that she had no problem with it – confessed Christopher Nolan in an interview.
Later in the conversation, the filmmaker will explain that the idea of casting his daughter in the role came unexpectedly when Flora decided to visit her father for a week while he was working on the set of “Oppenheimer”. This is the character of a little girl who appears in the vision of the title character.
The director also made a joke, referring to another production in which the director cast his child in the controversial role of a juvenile serial killer. “I hope you don’t make me into something like Michael Powell on Peeper,” admitted Nolan.
Honestly, I try not to analyze my intentions. But the thing is, if you unleash this great destructive force, you can also hurt those closest to you. So I suspect that was my way of expressing it in the strongest, personal way possible – summed up the director of ‘Oppenheimer’.
