The death of the real-life Oppenheimer is not depicted in Christopher Nolan's film, which is an unusual but thematically sound omission in the biopic.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The real-life J. Robert Oppenheimer died after the events that took place in Christopher Nolan's latest film Oppenheimer. In an unusual move for a biopic, Nolan decided not to include an overview of Oppenheimer's final years before his death presumably because the character symbolically already had 'become death' in the film.

Oppenheimer's ending explained the incredible guilt that the historical figure felt in the aftershock of one of the world's most brilliant yet terrifying creations. While the real-life J. Robert Oppenheimer was flawed in many ways, his remorse for his own innovation demonstrated an empathetic thoughtfulness at the core of his revolutionary mind.

Despite perceptions and rumors that Oppenheimer developed cancer due to the radiation from his atomic testing, it is much more likely that his throat cancer was the result of his relentless smoking habit. Hundreds of people living in New Mexico near Los Alamos have come forward throughout the years since about eventual radiogenic cancers they have developed, claiming a link to the Trinity fallout zone.

Oppenheimer's Death Occurred Four Years After The Movie's Latest Scene Oppenheimer's death occurred four years after his medal ceremony, which took place in 1963. This explains his older and more fragile look in the latest depiction of the character in Nolan's Oppenheimer. The final scene of Oppenheimer, which features the protagonist with Albert Einstein, occurred roughly 20 years before his death.
