Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer successfully charmed the viewers in Japan even after it was released months later. Everybody was skeptical about how the Land of the Rising Sun would react to the film based on the life of J Robert Oppenheimer, aka Father of the Atomic Bomb. The bombs had a devastating impact on the people, and it lasted for years. It also received mixed reviews in the early screenings, but things look positive for the Cillian Murphy-led movie.

They earned success on July 16, 1945, and the world’s first nuclear bomb, forever changing the course of history.
