Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is in trouble for his sex scenes, especially because of the Bhagavad Gita.
Oppenheimer’s sex scenes elicited mixed reactions from the audience, but some were particularly annoyed by the appearance of the Bhagavad Gita in one of the scenes.
The sexual scenes caused controversy even before the premiere of “Oppenheimer,” which awarded Christopher Nolan’s film its first R rating 20 years later for nudity and sexual content.
“Oppenheimer” is Nolan’s first film to feature sexual scenes, but it’s important to tell the life of director J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) and his relationship with Jean Tatlock (Florence Pugh), although some find the scenes offensive.
Viewers expressed their anger at the movie’s sex scene with Bhagavad Gita on Twitter.
Twitter user @HarrisSultan criticized Oppenheimer for using scripture in a sexual scene as disrespectful.
Hindus have been celebrating the mention of the Bhagwad Gita in the Oppenheimer movie, but they are left angry and perplexed at the blatant disrespect of the Gita by Hollywood.

Some viewers were also surprised that when Oppenheimer was released in India, the reference to the Bhagavad Gita persisted even where the sexual scenes were blurred, even where it could be considered “blasphemous”.
Many also pointed out that the event was not historically correct or appropriate.
However, some defended this decision because the characters in the book saw the book only as “Sanskrit” and not “sacred”.
The Bhagavad Gita in ‘Oppenheimer’: The Interpretation of Choice and Anger
The emergence of Bhagavad Gita in sex is not the same time that the book appeared in Oppenheimer. Its significance for Oppenheimer is part of history, just as in real life Oppenheimer was fascinated by Sanskrit.
Religion and language are useful, but Bhagavad Gita seems to be related to it, it is considered a philosophy but did not call itself a traditional Hindu.
This is also historically true, in fact, Oppenheimer later said that the Gita line came to mind when he first saw the rocket take off.
It’s still unbelievable that Tatlock gave Murphy the bad habit of quoting the Bhagavad Gita during the performance.
age difference, there is conflicting evidence, it will be interesting to see if the greater influence of Indian audiences thinks better of how and when to incorporate such relationship scenes into Nolan’s future films
