Cameron Slams Oppenheimer, Plans Hiroshima-Nagasaki Film

James Cameron has criticized Christopher Nolan's film 'Oppenheimer' for what he calls a 'moral cop-out,' arguing that the film avoids depicting the devastating impact of the atomic bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki by focusing almost exclusively on Oppenheimer's personal perspective. Cameron is developing his own film, based on Charles Pellegrino's upcoming book 'Ghosts of Hiroshima,' which will spotlight the experiences and suffering of atomic bomb victims. Nolan has defended his choice to tell the story strictly from Oppenheimer's viewpoint, emphasizing the scientist's subjective realization of the consequences. Cameron, known for addressing nuclear war in his work, says he wants to confront the 'third rail' of the bomb's human cost. 'Oppenheimer' was a critical and commercial success, winning seven Oscars, but has faced criticism for not depicting the aftermath in Japan. Cameron's project aims to address this gap by focusing on survivor stories and the real-world devastation caused by nuclear weapons.
