Biopics aren't generally known for being an edge-of-your-seat, box-office hit that gets the general public talking and raving. Don't get me wrong, there are some great ones out there, but we've all seen biopics that follow a predictable formula – you know, the rise, the fall, the redemption arc. But Oppenheimer? It's a different beast entirely.
Christopher Nolan took the concept of a biopic about a man most of us only vaguely knew about, and he turned it into a rollercoaster of a film. It's a masterpiece of filmmaking, and arguably Nolan's best film yet. So, what can we, as filmmakers, learn from Nolan's adaptation of An American Prometheus?
That's exactly what Jonathan and Courtney set out to discuss in this episode. What sets Oppenheimer apart from cookie-cutter or purely Oscar-bait biopics we've seen before? How does Nolan take simple, uninteresting scenes and make them extraordinary? How does he use sound design to foreshadow and reflect back across multiple, non-linear story threads? Get cozy and tune in to find out.
Join us for this captivating discussion about the art of filmmaking, subtext, sound design, and symbolic image repetition. Subscribe now and let Jonathan and Courtney be your guides through the world of film on The Sights + Sounds Podcast. Grab your popcorn, folks – it's showtime!
