Oppenheimer has been a worldwide success as it takes the story of one of the world’s most impressive moments, when the atomic bomb was created, but as we see the story of its creator, we also learn more about his private life and an intimate scene in Oppenheimer has provoked FURY in India.
The intimate scene in Oppenheimer that has started RAGE in India is when the protagonist played by Cillian Murphy is shown having intimate relations with his lover Jean Tatlock played by Florence Pugh. The discomfort begins when at that moment during intercourse Florence takes a copy of the Bhagavad Gita, one of the sacred scriptures of Hinduism, and asks Cillian to read a phrase, being this, “now I have become death, the destroyer of worlds”, and in that instant they continue with the action.
This scene has caused much hatred among some right-wing groups in India, as they describe the film as a disturbing attack against Hinduism, and that it can be accused as a conspiracy towards anti-Hindu forces. One of India’s commissioners, Uday Mahurkar, said in a statement that this was a direct attack on the religious beliefs of a billion Hindus, drawing comparisons to waging a war against the Hindu community.
