    In addition to Barbie, Christopher Nolan‘s new film Oppenheimer has been a hit with audiences. Unfortunately, in some territories, there are elements from the film that appear to be less than favorable. Specifically, sex scenes featuring Florence Pugh have been censored in some countries showing Oppenheimer.

    The edited version of the film has been shown in territories including India and Pakistan. For those viewers, there were a number of different censorship techniques used. And, naturally, they tend to feel very strange and out of place. There’s one decision in particular that uses CGI which has many moviegoers scratching their heads.

Even if it required some rather strange editing to make it work.

    It’s worth noting that the film has received other complaints as well. This includes a scene from the film’s first sex sequence in which Oppenheimer reads the sacred Hindu text. “I am become death. The destroyer of worlds,” he reads from the Bhagavad Git.

    The Information Commissioner for the government of India, Uday Mahurkar, released the following response:
