\u201cVideo games can never be art,\u201d wrote the great film critic Roger Ebert back in 2010<\/span>. The implications of that claim have annoyed developers, players, and endless online comment sections ever since like a splinter that\u2019s big enough to hurt but too small to cleanly excise. Were Ebert still alive today, we might ask him instead if cinema can ever be a video game. And with the mess around Christopher Nolan\u2019s Oppenheimer<\/em>, the answer is clearly yes.<\/p>\n

Diablo IV Strongholds Are Sweet<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

No, the Dark Knight<\/em> and Interstellar<\/em> director\u2019s three-hour saga about the single most violent chain reaction in human history can\u2019t be played and doesn\u2019t have multiple endings, the types of qualities we generally tend to associate with interactive film. Everything surrounding the period piece summer blockbuster, however, feels straight out of the wider world of gaming culture. It\u2019s got it all: massive shortages, technical malfunctions, high-stakes storytelling, and super fans ready to document, react to, and amplify each new development in the cinephilic spectacle.<\/p>\n

Maybe you\u2019ve noticed it too. The realization began for me when interviews with Nolan gushing about how he forced Hollywood to invent even bigger 70mm film reels that could hold all 180 minutes of Oppenheimer <\/em>began circulating online. Clips of him standing next to a large wheel that was supposed to help save the film industry were comical but also fly paper for enthusiasts who pride themselves on confusing pedantry with having a personality.<\/p>\n
