Film Theory: The Bomb in Oppenheimer Isn’t What You Think…

*SUBSCRIBE to Film Theory!*

Barbenheimer was fun; however today we’re not focusing on The Barbie Movie but Oppenheimer. You see, Loyal Theorist, there is a secret hidden in the Oppenheimer that NOBODY realized… Oppenheimer is secretly about Batman?! Yes! Let us explain.

Back in 1980s college film classes, professors would discuss how 1950s monster movies were a metaphor for Cold War paranoia. This theory fits in with that concept. Even if the parallels being discussed are unintended they're still have a significance fore being there at all.

[SteeperHornet]

Leave it to matpat, making a theory about real life events. Legend.

[joer]

I was NOT expecting an Oppenheimer theory, but you actually made it happen. That’s incredible. Great job!

[jackson]

“Now, I am become Film Theorists, Destroyer of Childhoods.” -MatPat… one of the greatest quotes of all time.

[brodybarnhill]

Calling Oppenheimers beginnings “humble” is a huge stretch. Dudes family was so rich that when he attempted to poison a teacher at Cambridge not only did he not get arrested he didn’t even get suspended because his dad made a huge donation to the school.

A Chris Nolan directed James Bond film seems expected, but a Chris Nolan directed Star Wars film seems really unexpected, like I would imagine the film would be on a similar level to Rogue One or Andor in terms of visuals.

[dopemkbass]

All I'm gonna say is that I've never seen Robert J. Oppenheimer and Christopher Nolan in the same room.

[nellyb]

I mean i get it for sure. All the parallels make sense. I just think its funny to imagine Nolan sitting around and randomly thinking "You know who im JUST like?! The dude that created the bombs that killed hundreds of thousands people! Our struggles are exactly the same."

[MumboJ]

I love the implication that the proliferation of nuclear weapons and superhero franchises are equally tragic events.

[basically_boring]

oppenheimer as a character in nolan's film is one of few self inserts that isn't an overpowered god that has no flaws, proving that self inserts can be good characters with flaws and traits found within their universe.

[LostArtificer]

Matpat the type of guy to theorise about actual historical events lol

[noamflorin]

Very glad you included that interview snippet, the interviewer is an amazing young journalist, doing interesting high quality content and who’s very popular among the French youth so I’m happy he’s gaining some attention internationally

[beth]

i love episodes like this, where matpat takes the opportunity to talk about real life science. it brings me back to old school film and game theory :)

As a film student with big dreams of becoming a director. I actually really use Christopher Nolan as a big inspiration to my films. I am also very discussed while watching studio exes. not even bothering to listen to negotiation, and wall street pulling the string behind the scenes. All I know is that I am grateful to the strikers for making the industry more comfortable for me when I get there and stand with them.

[Koval_ok]

that's probably the closest we'll ever get to a history themed theory channel

[arcqui]

Y'all need to see the Hugo Décrypte interview of Nolan. This is one of if not the best interview that I see in a long time.
Even Nolan is chill and enjoying this interview.

[johnsabbio]

The idea of Christopher Nolan destroying and then saving Hollywood would make an insane movie on its own, also theory idea: find out Raymond reddingtons true identity

[theBillyAD]

So, it's all just been a $100 million way for Nolan to say "he just like me fr fr"?

Can you do a theory on Wallace and Gromit? It's a beloved show from our childhood, but there is definitely something off about the whole thing. Is Gromit actually a dog? He always seems to be the responsible one, with ability to communicate with humans. Is there some kind of dark backstory hidden in all of it? Why is Wallace living alone, inventing things all the time? I dunno, you're the experts 😁

[maxlostchild]

Honestly didn't expect Matpat to make a theory about the Oppenheimer movie.
