Another premiere Oppenheimerdirector Christopher Nolan, serves as an occasion for the details of the production to become known. This is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Not only for the work of Nolan, one of the most popular modern directors with the audience, but also for the cast, led by Cillian Murphy and a bet on the scene that will be seen in the cinema. On it, the director touched on a key aspect: the use of computer graphics.
Throughout his career, Christopher Nolan has been associated with the use of technical resources and working methods that are different from his cinematography. It may not impress directors like James Cameron, who shake things up from time to time from a technological point of view. But Nolan usually finds people when he makes his films and Oppenheimer does not escape him.
The need to recreate a historical moment different from the current one in Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan had to use various resources to reconstruct a particular era. That’s why his productions alternate between color sections and black and white. They are part of the journey into the past that the director offers. However, the means used to deal with explosions did not take into account the common CGI resource today. Because?
Christopher Nolan is ditching CGI Oppenheimer
CGI refers to a series of special effects by which images can be created using computers. Thus, for example, an explosion can be recreated without the need for it to occur in real life. However, in Oppenheimerthis is not about recreating the hundredth explosion in the history of cinema, but about the transition to the key explosion of the atomic bomb in the history of mankind.
On the decision to ditch CGI in OppenheimerChristopher Nolan had this to say: “I’ve done a lot of explosions in a lot of films. But there’s something very unique about being in the desert, in the middle of the night, with a great cast, doing some huge explosions and filming it.“.
To this comment, given during an interview with Empirethe director added the following:You couldn’t help but come back to this moment [de la historia] when they did it to the maxthat deep down they knew that there was a possibility that they would set fire to the atmosphere. It was quite unexpected to be caught up in such tension.” So it’s clear that Christopher Nolan had no other choice. The explosion had to be real in order to experience to a certain extent what it is and to share it with all those involved in the production.
“Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer works with a group of scientists during Manhattan Projectwhich led to the creation of the atomic bomb,” reads the synopsisOppenheimer .
