Cillian Murphy stars in new film after 'Oppenheimer' success: 'I'm very reluctant...'

Actor Cillian Murphy has starred in a new film for the first time after the big Oppenheimer success.

While talking about the upcoming film, Small Things Like These, Murphy told Collider that he is not at all nervous but very excited for the audience to see the film.

"I'm not nervous, I'm excited. A film isn't finished until the audience sees it. So I'm very, very invested in what the Irish people think.”

The Peaky Blinders famed star further mentioned that he believes art is a good way of narrating the difficult times of the history.

“But I also just think art is a good way of looking at these difficult times in history, in the history of any country. We've played this film in Berlin, obviously, and it did really well, and we played it in America, and there is a universality to it that people are really responding to, which is brilliant."

The 48-year-old actor does not believe in telling people what to think about a movie. He just wants to leave it to the viewers to decided whether the film is pure entertainment or it has a strong moral story.

"I'm very reluctant to ever tell people what to think.”

Cillian Murphy added: “I just want people to be provoked. It's a provocation to say, like, 'What do you think about this?' And it can be just pure entertainment, or it can be something more. I like films that have a point of view and poke at you gently to say, 'What do you think about this?"

Small Things like These released on November 1.
