Oppenheimer Controversy
A six-minute sex scene in the film has made headlines, apart from the explicit scene, there has been a debate on social media about this scene of ‘Oppenheimer’ where Cillian Murphy’s character reads a Bhagavad Gita quote while having sex with Florence Pugh’s character.
A section of netizens has also criticized the CBFC for allowing this film to be released without cutting a scene that could upset religious sentiments.
A user mentioned, “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. Mentioning holy verses while having sex is considered disrespectful and racist. #BoycottOpenheimer[8].”
Shame on India’s censor board for allowing this. Christopher Nolan is a typical Hollywood racist. He completely shut out all the Indian fighters in WWI movie and now he is making crude sexual references with Hinduism. Porno perverts from the West again exploit Hindu texts. https://t.co/qhiifzipNQ
