Bilal Ramadan wrote Monday, July 24, 2023 12:00 PM Historical error in Oppenheimer movie International director Christopher Nolan, it was monitored by the foreign film audience, and it spread on social media platforms, days following the film began being released in international theaters.
The historical error was spotted by a person named “Andrew” when he mentioned on the “Twitter” platform that there is a contradiction between the events of the film and the American flag related to the historical period in which the film’s events take place.
The historical error is represented in the scene in which the film’s hero, Killian Murphy, appears, who embodies the role of J. Robert Oppenheimer, known as the father of the atomic bomb, the theoretical physicist on whose life the film relies. While Murphy was surrounded by a crowd waving American flags, dating back to 1945, an American flag with 50 stars appeared, and historically the American flag in this era carried only 48 stars.
Andrew said in his tweet: “It was a good movie .. but it is wrong that they used 50-star flags in a scene dating back to 1945.”
According to foreign media, which spotted the error, the National Archives, a non-profit partner, acknowledged Andrew’s observation by retweeting his post.
On the other hand, many of the film’s audience interacted with the error and “Andrew’s” tweet and indicated that it was not the first time that Nolan had made an unforgivable mistake. In 2012, when The Dark Knight Rises was released, many of the film’s audience noticed that Batman entered a “tunnel” in broad daylight and exited the other end at night.
It is noteworthy that the American flag has changed 26 times due to the entry of new states since 1777. The 48-star flag was used for 47 years, following which Alaska and Hawaii were added to the union, so President Dwight Eisenhower ordered the adoption of the fifty-star flag on August 21, 1959.
