Although Oppenheimer It was recognized worldwide as one of the films of the year and also received some criticism. One of them focused again on the meager narrative weight that Christopher Nolan gives his female images. This criticism, already familiar in the director’s career, forced him to apologize to Florence Pughwho is in the movie Jean Tatlock.
At least that’s what the actress said. In an interview with MTV UK Ugh revisited some of his moments with the director Oppenheimer. She revealed that Nolan approached her to apologize for giving her such a small role. “I really didn’t know what was going on and what was being done,” Pugh says of the film. “What I really knew was that Chris really wanted me to know. it was not a very important roleand so that I understand that I don’t want to do this,” he adds.
Despite this, Pugh accepted the job without hesitation in order to collaborate with Christopher Nolan. “I thought, ‘It doesn’t matter. Even if I’m a coffee machine in the back of the room, let’s go there,” the translator jokes. “I remember it [Nolan] he apologized for how small the role was. I said, “Please don’t apologize.” And he said, “We’ll send you the script, and honestly, you’ll just read it and decide what it is… I totally understand that it’s not very good,” he says below.
“I remember the night I got the script, I said, ‘I don’t need it…I know I’m going to do this,'” Pugh says, pleased to be part of Oppenheimer. In the film, his role as Tatlock is limited to atomic bomb’s father’s mistress and member of the Communist Party. And that’s not the biggest controversy this character has caused, which has been censored in parts of Asia and the Middle East for nudity scenes and the inclusion of passages from the Hindu holy book Bhagavad Gita in sex scenes.

Despite such criticism, Pugh has always defended Nolan’s work, ensuring that Oppenheimer It was one of the best experiences of his professional career. “Everyone was very proud of their work, which means that everyone was constantly trying to be better the next day. AND I’ve never seen such a feeling on set before.“, – said the actress in an interview with BBC Radio 1 in April last year.
Pew’s commitment Christopher Nolan it has always been complete. And the film’s excellent box-office record made it possible to drown out a few voices of dissent.
