Nuclear bomb in “Oppenheimer”
It is no secret to anyone that Nolan is one of the most sought-after filmmakers on the market and this is reflected in the awards and box office success that his work generates. Part of the good reception he gets is for his way of capturing explosive sequences without the need for CGI.
But if we take into account that the tape will bring us closer to who is considered the father of the atomic bomb, how will Nolan not resort to CGI and still manage to represent this high-voltage narrative?

“I think that recreating the Trinity test (the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, in New Mexico) without using computer graphics was a great challenge. Andrew Jackson – my visual effects supervisor, I hired him at the beginning – was studying how we could do many of the visual elements of the film in a practical way, ”said the director, in an interview with Total Film (via Variety).
“From representing quantum dynamics and quantum physics to the Trinity test itself, to recreating, with my team, Los Alamos on a New Mexico plateau with some extraordinary weather conditions, many of which were necessary for the film, in terms of of the very harsh conditions that were there… There were enormous practical challenges”, he added.
