If you watch the 1965 interview with the real Oppenheimer, you will notice the nuances Cillian was able to duplicate, such as the small lip-smacking habit or the buldging eyes expressions Oppenheimer had when he spoke.
Cillian's performance was masterful. He's truly one of the best actors of this generation.

He seems to be a beautiful soul, and an incredibly talented individual
Oppenheimer is a work of art, not a documentary, not a movie even. I saw it today, and I felt drained emotionally, a little lost and emotional, stunned at the artistry. I saw the Mona Lisa in the Louvre in 1999 and I felt similarly, it wasn’t the biggest piece work, but it was strangely deep. It’s the kind of movie that you want to discuss at a dinner party with 10 friends who all felt differently by watching it. Hard to describe.

I don't usually leave comments, but this was such a thoughtful, considered and engaging interview and a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of the inane conversations actors have been made to endure during press junkets. Please accept my highest praise. Kudos!
Notice how engaged CM is in interviews when he talks about acting, and films.
He is so well spoken and has such a beautiful voice I could listen to him forever (and look at him too)
I can't stop watching him. 🥹
I have followed his career since Disco Pigs, and I was 12 years old! Now to be in my late 30s and seeing this all happening for him... as a fan of cinema and Murphy I couldnt be more thrilled! He is such a rare gem of an actor, and has the most magnificent cinematic face... Nolan has been right to make him his muse! Oppenheimer was extraordinary. Ive already seen it twice!!

I’ve seen just about all the films Cillian has been in.. and honestly.. regardless of the part, his acting has been superb. His soul is in it.. you can feel it Extraordinary actor..
There's no way i could talk to him for 30 straight minutes without getting nervous & starting to ramble. He just stares right through you. He is beautiful.
A very underrated actor. It's wonderful to see him coming into what will be a long career. He has already done wonderful work, but there is so much more to come.
Peaky Blinders is one of those rare ones. Think Cillian Murphy is about to hit another level, a lot more people are about to discover his work . Can’t wait to see it!
Been very lucky to see Cillian on stage in Misterman and Ballyterk at the national theatre, he's an extraordinary actor. And Oppenheimer is a masterpiece.

If people have only just started to see how brilliant Cillian Murphy is in this film watch Peaky blinders I promise you you won’t be disappointed
So every time I listen to interviews with Cilliam, I can't help but feel that he is a complete actor, full of passion, brilliant, especially in his last installment, the way he introduced us to the character of the great physicist is bordering on something incredibly perfect and here it is clearly visible that cinema is the most beautiful of arts, it can take us to areas previously unknown, deserted yesterday, today tamed and populated enough to be able to say Oppenheimer is Oscar.
One of the best interviews I've seen. Intelligent questions, you did not bore Cillian. Thank you Josh.

Thank you Josh for this great interview. Very knowledgeable and how you made Cillian express himself and talk. I think Cillian was chosen to perform Oppenheimer because Cillian is as great fenomenal mystery and eccentric blue eyes men like the great physicist.
Cillian, great actor,I love you
I've always loved Cillian. First movie of his I watched was Sunshine. Didn't know his name, but was immediately drawn in. Watched everything since. Hope he gets all the plaudits he deserves with how much Oppenheimer is blowing up.
Great interview, Cillian seems like a chilled guy and you asked interesting questions. I liked how you put him on the spot in the last 15 mins, especially the Bond thing. And, in my opinion, he's not too old to play Bond. He'd completely nail it.
Don't worry, Cillian, I've also still not seen Gone With The Wind! haha (I should probably correct that soon) Oppenheimer is PHENOMENAL! Watched it twice already and can't wait to watch it again. Thanks for this great interview.

He speacks using only his eyes, the muscles of his face, the turns of his neck, the ups and downs of his head, the silences between his speechs... Thanks God I'll never meet him.

I've never commented on an ad before but whoa. Most of my subscriptions are essentially sponsorships but last year it was a minor shock to discover I was double paying for a decent sized one. Being on top of them via regular attention must be the way but the advertised product made me laugh out loud.
Terrific interview. Cillian in Oppenheimer is going to be considered his iconic role, like Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia. He's always been brilliant, but this role will define him for the rest of his career. The film is astoundingly good, although I think the exposition of the political chicanery could have been condensed a bit. But it’s clear why Nolan insisted on including all of it. I’ve been thinking about this film since I left the theatre 3 days ago.
