Semiotic Significance in the Film Oppenheimer
Journal: Arts Studies and Criticism DOI: 10.32629/asc.v6i1.3598
Abstract
Christopher Nolan's film Oppenheimer has astoundingly garnered seven awards at the 96th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Original Score. In this film, the symbolic expressions within the film are crucial for understanding the characteristics of artistic language expression in the film and even the overall thematic expression. Through the establishment of symbols centered on Oppenheimer within the film, it achieves an echo to the expressions of tragedy and fatalism. Moreover, by negating symbols and symbolization within the film, it rebels against the nihilism underlying tragedy and fatalism.
