If they approach the philosophical implications of the 1945 atomic bombings from a 21st century "enlightened" point of view, ignoring history, vilifying the U.S. and the scientists who developed the bombs, it will be more than "artistic license", it will be pure revisionist bullshit.

The main antagonist - the bomb - will be characterized as a troubled and ambiguous soul. At one point it will say to Oppenheimer: "we are not so different, Robert..."
