There's A Historical Mistake In 'Oppenheimer' - Some Are Saying It Ruined The Movie

Christopher Nolan’s hit movie “Oppenheimer” is taking some heat; there’s a scene in the movie that isn’t hitting the right target. One moment in the three-hour film starring Cillian Murphy shows a historical error that viewers pointed out on Twitter. In the shot, the actor stands in the middle of a crowd, who all clap and cheer for him while they wave American flags. The dramatic epic about the life of nuclear physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer takes place in the early 1940s, but the flags featured white stars that represent 50 states — despite the country only having 48 in 1945 when the scene took place. Hawaii and Alaska, the last two entities to be annexed to the U.S., weren’t added until 1959. Fan Andy Craig revealed the mistake on social media, sharing a snapshot of the scene, and his post quickly went viral. “It was good and all, but I’ll be that guy and complain they used 50-star flags in a scene set in 1945,” he tweeted.
