Before Christopher Nolan’S Oppenheimer It was released, Cillian Murphy revealed that the film would have “extended full nudity” and sex scenes between Murphy and Florence Pug. If you’ve seen the movie, then you know how those scenes play out.
One such scene involves an intimate moment and conversation between Murphy’s J. Robert Oppenheimer and his communist lover Jean Tatlock, played by Pugh. Well, it turns out that the scene has been censored in some regions of the world like India.
The censored version of the scene features Pugh’s body wearing a black suit as seen above, which is a screenshot from the film. According to IGN, “Universal Pictures decided to use a CGI suit on Pugh during the nude scene, making it a special montage to meet the film’s certification standards.”
As you might expect, people on social media are responding to the news with jocular comments.

(no spoiler) they used CGI to create a black dress on Florence Pugh (she should be naked sitting on that couch) instead of cutting her Oppenheimer nude scene for Middle East and Pakistan 💀

I’m pretty sure that the censorship board of Nepal cut the nude scene of “Oppenheimer” just because it’s a nude scene and they didn’t actually see the movie, so they didn’t know the meaning of it. Good job! #Oppenheimer #Nepal
