Christopher Nolan definitely not known for its female characters. Over the years, the director has become known for many things: arcane storylines, epic sets, and an extremely accurate sound mix. Writing female roles was never on the list. None of the spectators who came to the theater were particularly impressed by the absence of women in the film in roles, except for minor ones. But while this omission was entirely to be expected (and perhaps necessary given the film’s already long running time), it’s a real shame, given how attractive the women in the story are. Let’s see together how to do it.
1. Project name Trinity it was dedicated to Jean Tatlock
According to some sources, the bomb maker J. Robert Oppenheimerdecided to name the first atomic bomb test project in honor of the great love of his life and former lover. Jean Tatlockwith whom he shared a deep appreciation for poetry John Donne; Strike my heart, God of three people.

But, as Nolan’s film shows us, communism was especially flourishing under these conditions at that time and, very likely, Oppenheimer would explore ideology even without influence tetlock given that both his brother and sister-in-law, and not many of his university colleagues, were once party members.

The film shows us this compassion, but suggests much more strongly that the focus of their connection was primarily a sexual aspect. In version nolan in fact, their characters are often seen, if not during the act itself, then immediately after they have had sexual intercourse. This is the view he seems to have laid Claus especially inconvenient.
