J. Robert Oppenheimer’s Grandson Charles Reveals Which ‘Oppenheimer’ Scene He Disliked

Charles Oppenheimer — the grandson of the late J. Robert Oppenheimer, whom Christopher Nolan’s new film “Oppenheimer” is centred on — has revealed one scene in the historical drama that he wouldn’t have included.

The founding member of The Oppenheimer Project, 48, has been doing press to help promote the film — now playing in theatres — including an interview with Time magazine, published earlier this week, where he discussed the scene at hand. “I was bracing myself for not feeling great about [the movie], even though I talked to Chris Nolan and was very impressed by him,” Charles told the publication. “When I talked to Chris, at one point he said something roughly like, ‘I know how to tell a story out of this subject.

There are going to be parts that you have to dramatize a bit and parts that are changed. As family members, I think you’re going to like some parts and dislike some parts.’ That’s probably led into my acceptance of the movie, even though I saw it very late, just when it came out.

As a dramatized representation of the history, it was really largely accurate.” READ MORE: ‘Barbie’ v ‘Oppenheimer’ Box Office: Greta Gerwig’s Film Struts Past $200 Million, Christopher Nolan’s Movie Zooms Through $100 Million Though Charles thought the film was accurate, he added: “There are parts that I disagree with, but not really because of Nolan. “The part I like the least is this poison apple reference, which was a problem in American Prometheus,” he revealed, referring to the scene where Robert — portrayed by Cillian Murphy — poisons his professor by injecting cyanide into an apple.
