Although Nolan warned that there were going to be dramatized parts in the movie, Charles Oppenheimer explains which scene he would have preferred not be included in the film.
“The part I like the least is this poison apple reference,” he said, due to its historical inaccuracy. But Charles explained that he was previously not pleased with that section in the 2006 biography , which is what Nolan’s screenplay is based on. carefully enough, the authors say, ‘We don’t really know if it happened,” he said. “There’s no record of him trying to kill somebody. That’s a really serious accusation and it’s historical revision.
Charles said the biography still “summarizes that as Robert Oppenheimer tried to kill his teacher” even though it also acknowledges that there was no historical proof of it happening. “Sometimes facts get dragged through a game of telephone,” he told the outlet. “In the movie, it’s treated vaguely and you don’t really know what’s going on unless you know this incredibly deep backstory. So it honestly didn’t bother me. It bothers me that it was in the biography with that emphasis, not a disclaimer of, this is an unsubstantiated rumor that we want to put in our book to make it interesting.
But overall, Charles said he enjoyed some of the dramatizations throughout the film. “As a dramatized representation of the history, it was really largely accurate,” he explained. “There are parts that I disagree with, but not really because of Nolan.” He also noted that he was invited to visit the set twice while filming and although he “definitely would have removed the apple thing,” he couldn’t imagine “giving advice about movie stuff to Nolan. He’s an expert, he’s the artist, and he’s a genius in this area.”
