After watching the movie, Director Nolan surprised the audience and shared about the film in front of and behind the scenes. Oppenheimer brings both sensory and psychological shock to the audience, which makes people wonder how the director can make the film and the audience have no obstacles, so immersed into the inner world of the characters.

When it comes to scripts and actors, Nolan uses first-person writing because he doesn't want to jump into the role of a screenwriter immediately after reading the original film. instead, he wants to try to live in the world of the characters from the first perspective. For each star-studded cast who contributed a wonderful performance, Nolan admitted that there was no special mentoring skill, he and the actors had a lot of discussions at the scene, and the actors were well prepared.

Nolan is also constantly challenging the limits of visual effects. He once said to the special effects director: "the effect I need to achieve, on the one hand, makes people feel threatened as well as beautiful and powerful." He believes that only by restoring the real effect as much as possible can we make the audience believe that they have the feeling of being there. In the process of replicating the Trinity experiment, we also need to ensure safety, and in the process of shooting, the production team also felt the tension of the real experiment.

Nolan's conversation with the audience led to deep thinking and expressed his enthusiasm for the film industry

In the audience question and answer session, film critic Sipak believes that film shooting can not be out of touch with the times, asking the director how to view the relationship between film expression and the present. In Nolan's view, his pursuit is not limited by time, and there will be some commonness in any era, which can be used for reference to any period.

Xiong Xiaomo, a documentary director and media man, mentioned that using the first-person perspective to write a screenplay needs to weave different pictures, macro and micro parts together in the process of visualization. I wonder which is more difficult between the director and the screenwriter. As the writer and director of Oppenheimer, Nolan shares that he is not limited by the identity of director, but regards the two identities as a continuous whole.

"because there is so much organizational and coordination work to do, different scenes will have different challenges, but I like the job of directing very much. When I was writing the script, I was also thinking about how to condense the 170-page script into the length of a movie. When shooting the Los Alamos scene, it was a barren land, and it felt very cold in winter. The editing process of the film is also fraught with difficulties. But I like to quickly switch to the next stage of work after completing one stage of work, which allows me to keep the freshness of the film and keep working. "

Loyal fans pointed out that Nolan invited his visiting daughter to participate in the film, and also mentioned the influence of his father in an interview and asked whether the director would encourage his children to create the film. Nolan laughed that his son was sitting off the stage. He went on to say that his industry allows children to have a wealth of knowledge about movies, but is not sure whether they really want to enter the film industry. On the other hand, he loves the film industry very much and enjoys a lot of fun in it, and he will continue to make films in the future, hoping to encourage not only his children, but all people, to film it if they have any ideas. even on the big screen.

Talking about whether the film could achieve anything at the Oscars, he smiled and said that his achievement in the award was not outstanding, and that he was making a film for the audience.
