Oppenheimer Sparrows over several decades.

Oppenheimer tells the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer ( Cillian Murphy ), the nuclear physicist who was the key to creating the atomic bomb. He followed him as a student in the 1920s, leading the team of scientists creating the bomb in the 1940s, and during the audiences of the post-Second World War government in the 1950s.

A scene in the 1940s stood out to the public members in the eyes of Aigle.

As indicated by CNN, A scene that takes place in 1945 A stands out for certain viewers because of the flags that certain participants of a rally to which Oppenheimer speaks acts. These flags include 50 stars and are therefore the American flag that we still use today.

The problem was that in 1945, the United States only included 48 states. From 1912 to 1959, when Alaska obtained the state, the 48 -star flag was used. Hawaii also became a state the same year, but the 50 stars flag was not displayed for the first time until 1960. This means that, although many other aspects of Oppenheimer are exact at the periods when it is defined, it is not.

"It was good and everything, but I will be this guy and I will complain that they used 50 stars flags in a set scene in 1945", " @Andrewrcraig wrote .

Another The Twitter user replied , "Wait ... I count. Lol" to which Craig replied: "No need! The pattern is different. ROWS staggered compared to the grid."

Some people have pointed out that a historically precise (and larger) American flag is used in a different scene. "The great giant flag in the scene where Oppenheimer rose on the shoulders of the crowd after the test uses the right flag", " Someone else tweeted . "The larger / larger piece means that they have been more careful. I guess they don't care enough to have specially made of tiny flags, just the big one."

Others could not believe that inaccuracy reached the final cup. "Imagine being paid for a heavy sum of money to be the chest of drawers defined to Oppenheimer and use the bad flags for the period in a historic film," Someone posted In response to Craig's tweet.

Some have argued that "error" was useful.

Some Twitter users have theorized that the 50 stars flag had been used for supporting the interpretation that certain scenes were told of Oppenheimer's memory rather than when they really occurred.

"I doubt it is a mistake," Someone tweeted . "These scenes came from the memory of Oppenheimer, which was subjective. The scene after the initial project is complete presents the correct flag, so that the filmmakers were well aware that the flag was different during this period."

Another person posted , "Personally, I think it was done intentionally, because the colorful scenes came from the point of view of Oppenheimer which is the memory of his act which was after the creation of the flag of 50 stars."

Someone else said , "The problem that takes place on the flag is completely false. Nolan has already said that the colorful scenes are subjective. He has deliberately kept it there. This is not an error. Some you all need basic education in general."

As said this tweet defending the flag, director Christopher Nolan spoke of the story "very subjectively" told in an interview with Total Film. However, he did not indicate whether the subjective version of the Oppenheimer's events would include things like inaccuracies of subtle flag. Instead, the Interstellar director explained why he changed From black and white to color to separate the subjective and the lens.

"I really liked the structural help and the aesthetic load to move between the color and the black and the white that I had on Memento ", He said, referring to his film from 2000." I had always looked for a reason to return. And in the case of Oppenheimer And the way we tell this story, is very subjectively [told], but also with a bit of more objective history that intertwines with that. It was really the perfect time to return to this device that I loved so much. ""
