Finally, the film that many were waiting for has arrived in theaters worldwide, and with its release on July 20th, ‘Oppenheimer‘ became a box office phenomenon, since no one wanted to miss the story of the creation of the first nuclear bomb.
The creator of this work of art, as some consider it, Christopher Nolan has treated every detail to tell in the best way the story set in 1945 in which J. Robert Oppenheimer played by Cillian Murphy is in a great dilemma after creating a weapon that could end all humanity, however, although this issue was carefully worked it seems that the film had a mistake that fans found.
After its premiere many fans gave their opinions about this movie through social networks, being via Twitter where a user commented that the movie had been good and had been excellent, but he did have a complaint and it was that in this movie set in 1945 they had used the American flag with 50 stars being this a complete mistake, since in that year the American flag only had 48 stars, since territories such as Alaska and Hawaii had not yet become states of the American country.
For this theory several users of this platform responded that this error in the film had been made intentionally, because the scenes presented in color were from the perspective of the physicist Oppenheimer, while the black and white scenes were from another, by the fact that these represented a memory of the physicist from his current memory that the American flag already had the 50 stars.
