Why Hindus Are Furious Over Oppenheimer Movie Scene?????
The movie Oppenheimer, directed by Christopher Nolan, is based on the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist who led the development of the atomic bomb during World War II. Oppenheimer was influenced by the Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita, which he read in Sanskrit and kept near his bedside.
The Bhagavad Gita is a dialogue between Prince Arjuna, a warrior, and Lord Krishna, an incarnation of God, who advises him on his duty and the moral implications of war.Oppenheimer quoted a verse from the Bhagavad Gita after witnessing the first atomic bomb test in New Mexico in 1945: "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." This verse is spoken by Krishna when he reveals his cosmic form to Arjuna, showing him the power and glory of God.
The movie Oppenheimer has sparked controversy in India for its portrayal of a sex scene involving Florence Pugh and Cillian Murphy that references the Bhagavad Gita. Many Hindus have expressed their distress and anger over the scene, calling it disrespectful and blasphemous to their sacred text.
The movie has also been criticized for misinterpreting and misquoting the Bhagavad Gita, which is not about destruction but about liberation and enlightenment.
