So the one CGI in Oppenheimer is… through the nude scenes? By Daniel Piper printed 27 July 23 The ‘black costume’ controversy is fairly ridiculous.
CGI in motion pictures is often reserved for the realm of motion scenes, with the likes of Marvel and DC relying (maybe a bit too) closely on computer-generated imagery to depict fantastical chases and explosions. However viewers of Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer are discovering a completely completely different use of CGI – in sure international locations, anyway.
Many column inches have been devoted to the truth that, in a departure from most Nolan movies, there is a good bit of nudity on this one. Nevertheless it appears international locations corresponding to India and Indonesia have seen match to cowl Florence Pugh’s physique with a black CGI costume – one thing that may make Christopher Nolan even angrier than individuals watching Tenet on a Sport Boy.

“Can affirm. That is the model being screened in Indonesia. A variety of her intimate scenes with Cillian was additionally closely altered too,” one Twitter consumer commented on a extensively circulated screenshot, whereas one other added, “It was like this in my theatre and did not even observed that it was faux.”
The choice to cowl Pugh’s physique utilizing CGI has drawn a bemused response for a few causes. Not solely is it faintly ridiculous that studios are very happy to depict all types of violence (and lethal weapons together with, you already know, bombs) however draw back from exhibiting a unadorned human physique, however there’s additionally the truth that Christopher Nolan has been very, very vocal about the truth that Oppenheimer comprises no CGI in any respect. Main everybody to make the identical joke: Nolan will not be glad about that computer-generated costume.

Most hilarious half about watching Oppenheimer in India is that they put a cgi costume to cowl up Florence Pugh’s boobs after Nolan cried about not utilizing cgi for a literal nuclear bombJuly 21, 2023
Nonetheless, Nolan can take some solace from the truth that that is certainly not the primary CGI controversy we have seen this yr. From the ridiculous (The Flash’s flying infants) to the banal (Nick Fury in a chair), it appears computer-generated imagery is in every single place we glance proper now.
