That quote is regarding the arrogance of the scientists in a certain other fictional movie, which doesn't apply here to these real life scientists. The movie very clearly shows that all the scientists involved fought very hard with themselves and each other over whether creating the bomb was something they should be doing. They even had a meeting about stopping it's development. Nolan correctly points out in this video that they knew that if they didn't create the bomb, the Nazis would have instead which was a much more terrifying scenario.

Christopher Nolan has been the best storyteller and director of the past decade. His style is unmatched by any other.

12:15 Nolan here reminds me of the quote: “Only collaboration between scientists and workers can put an end to oppressive poverty, disease and dirt”. There is a (ever growing) existential necessity that human society and human development be driven by the scientific method, championed by scientists, technologists, and the people of the world. Science and technology should be for the benefit of all people, not a vehicle of commodification or a commodity in and of itself; and not a mechanism of war, hegemony and geopolitics.

I kinda felt disappointed about the film. Technically it was a great film with good acting but just too drawn out, could have cut 40 minutes off and left the relationship drama go as well as the rapid fire political court drama. The constant cutting back and forth to different timelines felt so unnecessary as if to make the movie more smart. The bomb itself going off was also quite underwhelming and I think it's because Nolan simply doesn't want to use CG. Look at some of the footage from the test. It actually shows the power of the bomb and not just close ups of a big fire ball.

Nolan is such a classic guy. always keeps that personal tea bottle of his close to him. its so cool

Fun fact, Nolan is seen in this interview actually wearing the Hamilton "Murph" watch that featured heavily in Interstellar. Neat that he just walks around wearing Easter eggs for his own films, lol.

I never cared for directors but when I watched Batman Begins, I started paying attention. Nolan is a genius artist who can take any topic, subject or fantasy and turn it into something remarkable. He focuses on dialogue, storytelling and character development then make the story relatable to the average viewer and that's what makes viewers captivated (Although you might need to rewatch some of his movies to appreciate and understand more). His movies aren't the easiest to understand and mostly require full attention for the entire time but in the end, it's worth it. He's not in it for the money or the fame; he just wants to make a unique captivating film and that's why he takes his time when deciding to make movies and that's why he has a lot of respect from the audience and from the actors. Story telling, intelligent dialogue and character development are now the factors that make a movie great or dead.

And to answer the question that I've seen asked a lot elsewhere, I don't think Nolan used a real atomic bomb for the explosion. If he had, we would have heard about it from the UN Security Council.

Hands down the best "promotional" interview I've ever seen for a film - intelligent, insightful, amazing!

Nolan is a true creative genius, and it’s so cool that he views what he does as being in conversation with the audience. Such an intelligent and open minded artist.

The whole interview is deeply interesting. I was particularly struck by Nolan's comments on what Oppenheimer 'said' versus what he 'did' after WW2, that was something I have always noticed whenever I watched interview footage with Oppenheimer. Pre/During Manhattan Project, he's very engaging and talkative with the camera and the interviewer, however, Post-Manhattan Project and WW2, he barely looks at the camera, speaks few words, and the words he does speak imply someone who is... I think it goes way beyond being remorseful or guilty, I'd be more inclined to say that he's all but destroyed. I think Oppenheimer - in the process of developing the Atomic Bomb - went through the stages of doing what he loved, knowing full-well - on a technical and scientific level - the intended outcome of his experiments, but not really appreciating the full gravity of the ramifications of what success would mean, until it was too late. Which is ironic but also oddly fitting, as an ability to foresee the future ramifications of one's actions on that scale would indicate someone that was very good at performing calculations, and Oppenheimer was apparently known to be weak in this area. He says it all really with the quote 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' He knows that he's gone too far, he's opened Pandora's Box and likewise that there's no way of getting the evil back inside. At that stage, I believe he's unapologetic, not because he doesn't care, but because he's seen the full horror of what his actions have unleashed and he has no choice left but to accept the brutal reality that is presented to him. And the best he can do to try and make amends is to become a vocal advocate for the control of Nuclear weapons and proliferation. But he knows that he's gone too far.

I live in Bali, Indonesia - a country that didn't even exist when the events in movie took place. Recently I have seen Indy5, MI7 and several days ago I saw Oppenheimer. It was very noticeable just how different the audience was for it. Throughout Oppenheimer the audience was silent and sat still, focussed laser-like throughout the movie. In the other two, they were less so, with people talking, playing with their phones and children wanting the bathroom. Presumably, the Oppenheimer audience was made up of serious people, academics and such like, people who appreciated its sheer importance.

He's got more grey than when I first saw him.

My favorite part of the film is that the VERY second he saw an atom split in the lab, his immediate thought was a weapon, the very first thought. I doubt it actually happened that way, but still, it was chilling.

Why do you doubt that? The rising political tensions in Germany with the Nazi’s in 1932 a mere 15 years after the First World War , fears of a second conflict. A scientist who implicitly understood the awesome power that would be released by splitting the atom. It’d be strange if he didn’t immediately think of a weapon.

Brian is such a gift, keeping that oldschool gentlemanly scientist spirit full of thoughtful intelligence and curiosity alive in an era that's largely forgotten about it

I saw it yesterday and I was just wondering how intelligent and cerebral this movie is. And so strange that big movies are just action set pieces and Vfx these days. This was a great movie experience and I hope it breaks all records

I never thought I would see my favourite scientist and favourite movie director in the same room.. LIFE IS AWESOME ❤❤❤❤❤

it is hyperbolic that they thought there was a remote chance that the chain reaction wouldn't stop. that idea was discussed briefly at the time but never ever taken seriously.

Thanks to both Christopher Nolan and Brian Cox for this. Genuinely very much appreciated.

This is the best interview I've seen about this movie. Great job!

This is the kind of interview I love to see for ‘movies that matter’ over the banal personal questions and games format in so many others. Thank you!

2 fav people talking to each other....what a good day to be alive

Great conversation. Both haunted and fascinated by the Oppenheimer, in all his complexity, and The Bomb, since watching BBC’s 1980 drama series all those years ago; would go so far as to say as a child I was traumatised by nuclear threat, it’s destructive power and was extremely ambivalent and confused as to how any human rationalised investment in such a potentially futile future. Chris Nolan, cast and crew have delivered a masterpiece. Three hours flew by.

The end was terrifying, like I did not understand in the beginning and the damn calculation was not what we were thinking in the beginning of the movie and then everything connects at the end and it was almost like a rush of information and put you in Oppenheimers shoes for a second

That is definitely the best interview/ conversation of Christopher Nolan I've seen so far. Two brilliant people sharing their thoughts and understanding on the topic of science that has changed our world and the man behind it was a real teat. Thanks!

nothing better than having a person who knows the stuff about the theme and the person who did it and also knows the stuff he needs to know to even make it. relevance and knowledge is the recipe for an interesting interview

Imagine how careful with words you would become if you realized your words had led directly to the obliteration of two cities worth of people? Oppenheimer was a living icon. A man who understood his position in history and lived with that weight on his shoulders.

Oh my. Cox and Nolan. Two of my favorite people. I could listen and watch this for hours. Great interview. Thank you!

Brian Cox is a little child. I followed him on twitter for many years and when he slagged off brexit I stated I voted for Brexit... And he blocked me. This if the woke left for you. Dont share their opinion them want you dead. Pathetic.

What a shame this is only 20 mins, you can tell both people are super engaged in this conversation and Brian clearly has so much more to ask. Great interview. Maybe revisit for a longer one?

Two incredible minds in different fields. This was a wonderful idea and I applaud the team at Esquire that made it happen.

"Zero would be nice." Greatest line now in cinematic history.

You would think that a professional publication like Esquire would have knowledge and sense to place the VOLUME to a standard level instead of making it bloody near impossible to hear.

This would have been so much better if the sound wasnt so bad.

Couldn't agree more. Had to download it and play it through a video player so I can pump the audio

"Zero would be nice" loved this movie

One thing I really like about Nolan’s films is that the story and cinematography almost always stand out most (with the exception of Heath Ledger’s Joker, RIP). You rarely get distracted by a particular actor/actress’ performance, whether good or bad. The actors and actresses did a fabulous job in this film for sure, but I think this is very much a Nolan film.

phenomenal interview...absolute pleasure watching the two stalwarts trying to understand oppenheimer, the man, the scientist & his guiding philosophy during those crucial years of the manhattan project.

Great movie. They got just right into it from the get go, no intro or anything, just right into the heart of the matter and the life of Oppenheimer

That movie stunned me. Especially the moment when they tested the bomb. It pulled me in so much I feel devastated now when I think of WWII and the consequences I try not to cry.

An inspired and intriguing interview and promotional piece. Bringing together these two greats in their fields was a great idea. The result is a proper grown-up interview, which is extremely enjoyable. Thanks for sharing it

God I wish they talked more. Two kings of their craft. What a great interview

Really looking forward to seeing this movie. Brian Cox is a superb choice for this interview as he often conveys the physics but also the philosophy which resonates with people's souls.

Christopher Nolan, the school teacher you actually pay attention to.

After seeing it in its IMAX presentation I am extremely impressed with it. It was a fun challenge trying to name the scientists in my head before their name was spoken on screen.

So much better than the typical promotional interviews these days. Really enjoyed this.

I am surprised that there isn't more recognition of how timely this movie is related to advancements in AI. As AGI is inevitably obtained within the next few years, we are now starting to face a very similar dilemma with how to harness this literally superhuman power and not destroy humanity in the process. The parallels between the moral questions and potential impact of these two great inventions are uncanny, with stakes this time arguably even higher.

Nolan talked about this in one of the interview with french media.

This conversation will only age as good wine. See you in twenty years when this video will still be relevant.

Nice to see such a great intellectual and thought provoking interview.

I love Nolan. 😊 This might be too big a statement but I think he has (almost) single-handedly helped cinema to survive in the 21st century for various reasons.

Amazing how charismatic people can be when they really know their shit. Great chat.

It was really interesting to see Prof. Cox asking the questions

As a ex cinema goer you have no idea the smile on my face to know I can go back thank you
