A brilliant performance 👏🏼👏🏼 Loved the interview 👍🏼 Only that picture of that baseball player was photoshopped 😉

Stunning performance! Great interview , congrats Josh.

[@MM-wb6qm]

Absolutely brilliant performance. You're hooked from start to finish and you want to watch it again and again. Every aspect of the movie is masterclass. I hope it gets all the nods. Simply a stunning piece of work.

[@daffidavit]

If you watch the 1965 interview with the real Oppenheimer, you will notice the nuances Cillian was able to duplicate, such as the small lip-smacking habit or the buldging eyes expressions Oppenheimer had when he spoke.

[@LittleBilly1620]

Cillian's performance was masterful. He's truly one of the best actors of this generation.

Brilliant interview. It's the era of Cillian now. Good for him..I sincerely hope and pray he wins countless awards for this performance. He is also the portrait of humility.

[@frederiquewilding6608]

Absolutely…such a discreet , humble guy.

[@aldunlop4622]

Oppenheimer is a work of art, not a documentary, not a movie even. I saw it today, and I felt drained emotionally, a little lost and emotional, stunned at the artistry. I saw the Mona Lisa in the Louvre in 1999 and I felt similarly, it wasn’t the biggest piece work, but it was strangely deep. It’s the kind of movie that you want to discuss at a dinner party with 10 friends who all felt differently by watching it. Hard to describe.

[@phantom213]

I had pretty much the same feelings after the first viewing: very special, emotionally draining, overwhelmed to an extent even but... I highly suggest doing a second viewing because... Just no words. It's even BETTER.

[@parkviewmo]

You beautifully captured my response to the movie! Thank you!

There are marketing and SEO pieces he’s not taken advantage of. Also social media. The quotes on this great interview don’t have handles on Twitter. Also no means to share clips. Maybe his team doesn’t have experience. Don’t know. Always perplexes me😅

I respect his comment about his kids not idolizing him a lot. That’s a very different view than most parents have, and that’s so refreshing.

Great interview, Cillian seems like a chilled guy and you asked interesting questions. I liked how you put him on the spot in the last 15 mins, especially the Bond thing. And, in my opinion, he's not too old to play Bond. He'd completely nail it.

[@walkingshadow3955]

Don't worry, Cillian, I've also still not seen Gone With The Wind! haha (I should probably correct that soon) Oppenheimer is PHENOMENAL! Watched it twice already and can't wait to watch it again. Thanks for this great interview.

Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer is monumental!! So as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders. I guess everyone compares one with another and then He emerges like an amazing, incredible, huge actor. He speacks using only his eyes, the muscles of his face, the turns of his neck, the ups and downs of his head, the silences between his speechs... Thanks God I'll never meet him.

[@marka4891]

Oppenheimer was fantastic and I fully expect multiple Oscar noms for it. I'm betting Cillian and RDJ get noms for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively. I imagine there'll be additional Oscar noms for writing, directing, et al. How many wins will depend on the competition, of course.

[@CineGlobe-ej1on]

It's truly remarkable to hear Cillian Murphy discuss his role in Oppenheimer, especially considering his long-standing working relationship with Christopher Nolan. Five collaborations in, and yet, this is the first time he steps into the spotlight as Nolan's leading man. The episode radiates a sense of enthusiasm and depth that only comes from an actor-director pairing with shared history, trust, and artistic synergy. Murphy has always brought a certain magnetism to his roles, whether it's the Scarecrow in Nolan's Batman trilogy or his standout performances in films like Inception and Dunkirk. But Oppenheimer feels like a whole new level of synergy between him and Nolan. You can sense that Murphy has fully grasped the gravitas of his role, diving deep into the complexities of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb. It's a character fraught with moral, ethical, and emotional dilemmas, and who better to tackle this than an actor of Murphy's caliber under Nolan's visionary direction? Josh Horowitz does an excellent job in the #happysadconfused podcast to explore not just the film but the nuances of Murphy’s performance. The conversation gives listeners a chance to appreciate how Murphy approached this incredibly challenging role and how Nolan's direction shaped it. It's also intriguing to hear Murphy's reflections on his evolution from a supporting player in Nolan's cinematic universe to a leading man in one of the director's most ambitious projects to date. It's rare to get such an insightful peek into the dynamics of an actor-director relationship that has been nurtured over multiple collaborations. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intricacies of filmmaking, acting, and the extraordinary outcomes that can arise from long-term creative partnerships. #Oppenheimer is not just a movie; it's an event, and Cillian Murphy's role in it appears to be a defining moment in a career already filled with noteworthy performances.

[@tuberider1171]

Going from an article published here in Australia its weem a sad thing about this movie, and I do love Cillian, that Nolans' movie ignores the crucial role that an Australian scientist and his two Jewish staff in England played. It was the two German scientists who'd each left Germany with the rise of Hitler in the early 1930's whose work led to the bombs. And this was done in Britain where they published their findings when working in the University of Birmingham. And it was their boss, an Australia physicist running the lab who would ulitmately go to America to push their findings. Truth is that that it Albert Einstein's entreaties to Roosevelt in Aug 39 only resulted in the setting up of the Uranium Committee did not result in the Manhattan project - these guys treaded water instead and focused on nuclear power for submarines because they believed, like all scientistsa the time, that so much fissile uranium would be needed for an A bomb (the critical mass) it would be too heavy to be deployed It took two German Jewish physicists to change that view, namely Otto Frisch from Hamburg and Rudolf Peierls from Berlin who'd both independantly left Germany after the ascension of Adolf Hitler in the early 1930's. Otto Frisch had learnt from his physicist aunty Lise Meitner in 1938 (also living abroad) that two German Jewish scientists (Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman) had burst Uranium with a neutron to produce Barium (Atomic no. 56). Otto and Lise hypothosized that the Uranium nucleus had been split and estimated the energy released. Frisch coined the term fission after the biological term for splitting cells in two. Later Frisch with Peierls, then both working under in a lab in the University Birmingham, produced a memorandum that set out a process for generating an atomic explosion. Instead of recquiring tonnes or Uranium for a critical mass, it was only a matter of a few kilograms. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisch%E2%80%93Peierls_memorandum It was the laboratories boss, the Australian born physicist Mark Oliphant who then spearheaded their findings with the British Government who set up the MAUD committee. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAUD_Committee The committee shared this information with the American authorities including Roosevelt's Uranium Committee. By March 1941 the MAUD Committee concluded that the bomb was "practical and likely to lead to decisive results in the war". Still they got no response. Turns out that the American's the Uranium Committee's Chairman had simply put the information in his safe without reading it. Due to the lack of American interest the British Government sent the Australian Mark Oliphant in August 1941 to America to find out why. Officialdom complacency left him desperate so he went beyond his brief and despite top-secret concerns flew to Berkeley to reach out to a pre-war friend, namlely Ernest Lawrence, one of America's most influential scientists and recent Noble Laureate in physics. Lawrence was startled by the MAUD committee's findings and disturbed by the America's inaction. And this is when Oppenheimer comes in - when he was invited by Lawrence to come to his Berkeley office and meet the Australian Mark Oliphant. That crucial encounter is missing in Nolan's movie. How much stronger would the movie have been if the role of the two Jewish scientists who'd had the sense to flee Nazi Germany in the early 30's and the Australian Mark Oliphant who took the Americans to task for not following up the recommendations of the British MAUD Committee For more information see www.worldcat.org/title/1345458814
