The biopic of Robert J Oppenheimer has created a significant impact on its audience in theaters. The technical brilliance of Nolan and the emotionally challenging journey of Oppenheimer, creating something powerful enough to destroy the world, embark the audience on one of the most thrilling journeys in cinema. Fans are loving Cillian Murphy’s powerful performance and call it a masterpiece.
Still, there are people who are not very happy with the movie. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tweeted his disappointment with the film, saying that he had hoped it would inspire kids to opt for science, but it didn’t seem to do the same. According to him, the movie should motivate young minds to pursue physics and scientific discoveries, something that “The Social Network” did in the best way possible. “The Social Network,” which was based on the life of Facebook and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, inspired many people to pursue startups.
He wrote: “I was hoping that the Oppenheimer movie would inspire a generation of kids to be physicists but it really missed the mark on that. let’s get that movie made! (I think the social network managed to do this for startup founders.) “

With his tweet, it led to a bunch of varied opinions on Twitter even Elon Musk quotes “indeed” in his tweet. Some of them are given below.
Totally agree! Movies can be a powerful source of inspiration for the younger generation. If the Oppenheimer movie was done right, it could have sparked a lot of young people's interest in physics. Maybe this is worth considering as a next project?

Generate a new alternative version of Oppenheimer that inspires the viewer to become a physicist. Change the script and scenes wen needed. Try to keep the plot close to the original as possible
