00:00 "You are the man who gave them the power to destroy themselves, and the world is not prepared."

00:06 J. Robert Oppenheimer's grandson is revealing what scene from Christopher Nolan's film he would have

00:11 liked removed. During an interview with Time magazine, Charles Oppenheimer opened up about

00:16 what he would have changed in Oppenheimer, which follows the story of his American scientist

00:20 grandfather and his role in the development of the atom bomb. Although he noted that Nolan warned him

00:26 that there would be parts of the movie that you have to dramatize a bit, and parts that are changed,

00:31 Charles would have preferred the scene where Cillian Murphy's Oppenheimer tried to kill his

00:35 professor by injecting cyanide into an apple have been removed from the film. Charles said this was

00:41 due to historical inaccuracy, but explained that he was previously not pleased with it being included

00:46 in the 2006 biography American Prometheus, The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer,

00:52 which Nolan's screenplay is based on. "There's no record of him trying to kill somebody. That's a

00:57 really serious accusation, and it's historical revision." He continued, "Sometimes facts get

01:03 dragged through a game of telephone. In the movie, it's treated vaguely, and you don't really know

01:07 what's going on unless you know this incredibly deep backstory." But overall, Charles said he

01:12 enjoyed the film. "As a dramatized representation of the history, it was really largely accurate.

01:18 There are parts that I disagree with, but not really because of Nolan." "When we push that

01:22 button, we destroy the world. Chances are near zero. Near zero. What do you want from theory

01:31 alone? Zero. Would be nice." For more on this story, head to THR.com. And for the latest
