Christopher Nolan seemingly included a horrifying detail in Florence Pugh’s Oppenheimer scenes. The actor plays Jean Tatlock in the movie, who was J. Robert Oppenheimer’s (Cillian Murphy) partner before his marriage to Kitty Oppenheimer (Emily Blunt).
As we learn in the film, Oppenheimer and Tatlock remained in contact in the years following his marriage, and was a particular point of interest to the FBI investigating the physicist’s apparent links to the Communist Party. Shortly after one of their meetings, audiences learn that Tatlock died by suicide.
However, some viewers think that Nolan inserted a disturbing detail into this part of the story. This is because during some of the shots shown of Tatlock drowning, a black glove can be seen pushing her head down. The addition has led to speculation that her death may not have been the suicide it was ruled to be.
"When Oppenheimer is freaking out about what happened to her, you can see a hand with a black glove forcing her head under the water," one Twitter user speculated. "Showing he at least considered that a possibility. This is also McCarthy era America, very possible she was killed and they made it look like suicide."
Another fan wrote, "One thing in Oppenheimer I haven't been able to get out of my head is that brief insert of black gloves in that one flashback with Florence Pugh. Nolan was really in his horror mode." A third concurred, writing: "I cannot get the shot of the black glove out of my head, especially after noticing that the FBI guy who's going through Oppenheimer's trash is also wearing black gloves!!!!"
