“Oppenheimer,” is based on the 2005 book “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer” by Martin J. Sherwin. “Oppenheimer” is famed director Christopher Nolan’s leading movie because of his choice to have the narrator be in first person. This allows the audience to witness the world from his perspective instead of having it be in the third person, which wouldn’t allow the audience to transport into the mind of the protagonist.

This unique perspective adds an almost transportive feeling to the film, allowing the viewer to capture the core emotions.
