Does the movie have this reference:

 

Oppenheimer later recalled that, while witnessing the explosion, he thought of a verse from the Bhagavad Gita (XI,12):

divi sūryasahasrasya bhavedyugapadutthitā yadi bhāḥ sadṛṥī sā syādbhāsastasya mahātmanaḥ

"If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one".[114]

Years later he would explain that another verse had also entered his head at that time: namely, the famous verse "kālo'smi lokakṣayakṛtpravṛddho lokānsamāhartumiha pravṛttaḥ" (XI,32),^[115] which he translated as "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."^{[note 2]} In 1965, when he was persuaded to quote again for a television broadcast, he said:

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.^[116]

 

 

Two days before the Trinity test, Oppenheimer expressed his hopes and fears in a quotation from Bhartṛhari's Śatakatraya:

In battle, in the forest, at the precipice in the mountains,
On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows,
In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame,
The good deeds a man has done before defend him.^[277][278]
