Emily Blunt Feels Grateful For Her Association With Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer has already become both a commercial and critical hit. The biographical drama made headlines ever since its first trailer was released. Emily Blunt played the role of the fiery and feisty Kitty Oppenheimer, the wife of J. Robert Oppenheimer played by the Peaky Blinders star. During an interview with the entertainment outlet Total Film, The Devil Wears Prada star spoke about her character and its significance in the storytelling of the iconic theoretical physicist. She said-
“I mean – it’s one of the best parts that anyone has ever written for me. Not that he wrote it for me, but he wrote an exquisite part that is so layered. Even though she’s not a huge part, it packs a punch. I was so excited by her. And the thing that I love is that he wasn’t concerned with her being likable, it was just a very real interpretation of the character.”
She further mentioned-
“When you read about her in the book, they say that ‘Kitty didn’t do small talk, she only did big talk’ which is so symbolic of the character. I really remember reading that and thinking, ‘That’s it, she’s so clear’. Usually, I think women in movies have to be sort of quite likable and warm, but she wasn’t either of those things, and he was unafraid of that and writing her as such. I just loved her.”
Emily Blunt’s Kitty Oppenheimer is one of those characters in Christopher Nolan’s magnum opus project that sets the screen on fire with her presence and dialogue. Oppenheimer is already moving upwards on the box-office ladder.
Oppenheimer is successfully running in theatres across the globe.
