Due to historical inaccuracy,
Charles would have preferred the scene where Cillian Murphy’s Oppenheimer tried to kill his professor by injecting cyanide into an apple not have been included in the film.
Thank you for saving everyone a click.
It's apocryphal. Apparently he told at least one friend at the time that he had done it. Whether he actually did it or just thought about it and was being a dramatic young man will never be known.
Could have been cool if the sceen was more like a daydream so it references it but doesn’t present it as fact. Although it is a drama/biopic not a documentary
So I'm inferring this was a total fabrication? Great scene regardless.
The Wikipedia article seems to say something similar happened, but in a different way.
Reality for what happened was way different. Now no one knows if he really did poison the apple, but others at the school said he made statements about having done it.
So who knows, but just remember confused super unbelievably young smart person in college getting abused by their teachers and told to just take it. There was no real structure of support in those days so he snapped.
Fortunately no one was actually hurt and in the end (after disciplinary action) it all turned out ok. Just nothing like the movie trying to explain that in 30 seconds and force his connection with theory vs practical physics.
Regardless, he definitely did not snatch it from Bohr's hands right before he took a bite lol.
Downvoted you for the clickbait.
The Atomic Bomb had a son?
