Christopher Nolan‘s ‘Oppenheimer’ has stirred conversations due to its precise portrayal of J Robert Oppenheimer‘s life, the physicist celebrated as the ‘father of the atomic bomb’. The movie’s presentation of the 1945 Trinity Test has especially captured audiences’ imagination, especially when viewed on IMAX screens.
Now, an interesting Instagram video is making rounds, asserting to be actual footage from the Trinity Test.It shows Oppenheimer and his team preparing for the historic explosion and what we see in the video bears a striking resemblance to the scene in the film. The narration accompanying the video describes the blast as “brighter than a thousand suns” and speaks of a blind girl miles away witnessing the flash, men at the site experiencing intense heat, and the subsequent shockwave.
The video has grabbed everyone’s attention. One individual questioned the narrative, asking how a blind person could see a flash and from a considerable distance. Another inquired about the camera and film’s survival post-explosion. Some comments praised the video over the film, while others expressed fears about the environmental impact of repeated explosive testing, particularly in the ocean.
