The real-life grandson of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb and the subject of Christopher Nolan's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:box office hit 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Oppenheimer, has spoken out about the🥂 movie, revealing his least favorite scene. 

"There are 𝔉parts that I disagree with, but not really because of Nolan," he eꦕxplained in a recent interview with . "The part I like the least is this poison apple reference, which was a problem in American Prometheus. If you read American Prometheus carefully enough, the authors say, 'We don't really know if it happened.' There's no record of him trying to kill somebody. That's a really serious accusation and it's historical revision."

American Prometheus is the biography of Oppenheimer that Nolan used as a source text for his movie, written by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. When Charles refers to the "poison apple", he means a scene toward the start of the movie when the physicist is still studying at Camb൲ridge and comes to blows with a hos๊tile professor. After making Oppenheimer stay late, alone, after class, he injects an apple on the professor's desk with a syringe of poison (but promptly regrets his actions and returns to the classroom to dispose of it the next morning). 

"There's not a single enemy or friend of Robert Oppenheimer who heard that during his life and considered it to be true," Charles continued. "American Prometheus got it from some ref🌜erences talking about a spring break trip, and all the original reporters of that story – there were only two, maybe three – reported that they didn't know what Robert Oppenheimer was talking about. Unfortunately, American Prometheus summarizes that as Robert Oppenheimer tried to kill his teacher and then they [acknowledge that] maybe there's this doubt."

Oppenheimer is in cinemas now. For more on the movie, c🥀heck out our coverage on:
