The reason is that two highly anticipated films are premiering, both of which will try to reverse the box office failures we&#8217;ve been seeing everywhere in 2023. One of these movies is <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/critiques-barbie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Barbie, the film by Greta Gerwig<\/a>, which has received rave reviews. The other highly awaited film is <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/everything-we-know-about-oppenheimer-the-first-nolan-film-to-get-an-r-in-20-years\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oppenheimer<\/a>, Christopher Nolan&#8217;s latest venture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Starring Cillian Murphy<\/strong>, globally known for <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/trailer-oppenheimer-christopher-nolan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Peaky Blinders<\/a>, the movie tells the story of Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist considered responsible for the Atomic Bomb that ended World War II. Undoubtedly, it&#8217;s a biography worthy of the big screen, but will it win over the critics? According to Paul Schrader, the screenwriter of Taxi Driver, it has more than succeeded.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Oppenheimer | New Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uYPbbksJxIg?start=2&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;The best and most important film of this century&#8221;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The best and most important film of this century. If you only watch one movie in theaters this year, it should be <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/how-did-it-fire-explosion-oppenheimer-bomb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oppenheimer<\/a>. <strong>I&#8217;m not a Nolan fanatic, but this film has blown my mind<\/strong>.&#8221; With these words, Schrader shared his opinion about Oppenheimer on his Facebook account. And he not only says it&#8217;s a good movie, but the best he has seen since the 2000s. Quite a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s worth noting that, while <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/ending-explained-interstellar-christopher-nolan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Christopher Nolan<\/a> has enjoyed popularity with the general audience throughout his filmography, he hasn&#8217;t received unanimous praise from critics. However, with Oppenheimer, Nolan&#8217;s reputation might change and even put him in the running for the Oscars. And according to Paul Schrader, <strong>he would more than deserve it<\/strong>. This weekend will reveal the answer, and if it&#8217;s in a double feature with Barbie, even better.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/explosion-oppenheimer-768x433-1-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-240663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/explosion-oppenheimer-768x433-1-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/explosion-oppenheimer-768x433-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/explosion-oppenheimer-768x433-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/explosion-oppenheimer-768x433-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/explosion-oppenheimer-768x433-1-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/explosion-oppenheimer-768x433-1-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/explosion-oppenheimer-768x433-1-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/explosion-oppenheimer-768x433-1-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/explosion-oppenheimer-768x433-1-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/explosion-oppenheimer-768x433-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/explosion-oppenheimer-768x433-1-1200x677.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/explosion-oppenheimer-768x433-1-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2023\/07\/explosion-oppenheimer-768x433-1.jpg 1277w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Softonic could receive financial compensation if you click on or purchase some of the products mentioned in this article.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The best and most important film of this century&#8221; is how the screenwriter of Taxi Driver defines Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan&#8217;s next film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9257,"featured_media":240660,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1015],"tags":[],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-240657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9257"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240657"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240657\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":319012,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240657\/revisions\/319012"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240657"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=240657"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=240657"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=240657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
