The upcoming christopher nolan film "Oppenheimer" will star Irish actor Cillian Murphy, who has claimed that he read the Bhagavad Gita as part of his preparation. In a recent interview, Murphy said he thought the text was lovely and motivational. The Bhagavad Gita had a big impact on J. Robert Oppenheimer's life, who is depicted by Murphy in the movie. After the first atomic bomb was successfully tested, Oppenheimer, a sanskrit scholar, reportedly cited the Gita in his famous statement, "Now I become death, the destroyer of worlds."
Murphy acknowledged the solace the text brought Oppenheimer, saying that it seemed to have been a constant source of comfort for him. Don't grill me on it, the actor jokingly retorted when asked what he had learned from the Bhagavad Gita. Simply said, I thought it was gorgeous.
The film "Oppenheimer" is based on Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin's Pulitzer Prize–winning book "American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer." The movie is rated R for obvious reasons and is anticipated to be christopher Nolan's longest. The movie "Oppenheimer" will be released in theatres on July 21, Friday.
