let’s start with the remarkable period of oppenheimerA much longer film than those British directors to whom we owe the Dark Knight trilogy have accustomed us, start, Interstellar, Dunkirk And keeper, Just to name a few. Three hours belies the fact that there’s a lot of history to tell, because we’re talking about Robert Oppenheimer, the hero of one of the most historic, scandalous, important, revolutionary and deadly inventions of all time : atom bomb.
So Nolan’s audience will be spending a lot of time inside theaters to enjoy the English filmmaker’s version of The Manhattan Project.
For starters, the Manhattan Project is the top-secret US military program with which a very large team of American physicists and European refugee scientists built the first prototype of an atomic bomb, called the Gadget, in the Los Alamos desert. The same group of scholars built the first two devices for use in combat, called Little Boy and Fat Man, which were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, respectively.
The duration of the film is not a problem, also thanks to the trend it started dune by Denis Villeneuve

The trend is for blockbusters over two hours
Although for decades the rule was to “limit” films to two hours, in recent times the trend seems instead to be towards blockbusters that exceed the canonical duration. The latest example is from Blockbuster. John Wick: Chapter 4 Directed by Chad Stahelski and starring the inimitable Keanu Reeves, it consists of 169 minutes of heroic deeds.
Earlier this year, Oscar winner Damien Chazelle decided to stick us to the big screen for 189 minutes with his babylon, However, with the rise of stars (and beauties) like Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie, the time has passed for most viewers. Quite the contrary: they wanted one more hour, even. And Avatar: The Way of Water, 192 min. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, 161 min. Certainly, though, the three-hour length of “Sunday” may disorient the viewer (so to speak). In addition, it is possible that some viewers may want to stop within the comfortable walls of home (with remote controls with which to hand, toilet breaks, popcorn breaks or even the very disgusting stops and even to that very disgusting stop) opt to suspend viewing. Then continue the vision over the following days). remote control scepter with which to stop, perhaps seeing it in pieces and pieces, will turn oppenheimer In a miniseries, which Nolan certainly wouldn’t want. although of the same length Transformers: Rise of the Beasts And fast x, So maybe the public is getting used to it, even on Sundays. And then you can’t think of less than three hours to tell the story of Oppenheimer & Company.

For (which a rat would never dream of building, instead the “nuclear trap” that traps humans – and rats too, eh – we made it with our own hands…).
A weapon of mass destruction that has dramatically returned to steal our sleep, plunging us into Cold War-like terror.
