I love that the Barbenheimer meme is basically the exact inverse of what happened with Morbius. And the fact that the whole internet rallied around something like this not just because they thought it was funny, but because people were sincerely excited for both movies and expected them to be great, is just so unusually wholesome and it makes me smile.

@bmcgee95 Barbie managed to score the box office of Super Mario while having the critical acclaim of Oppenheimer.

The bit about them running out of pink is actually true. There had already been a shortage before production began due to paint producers deciding to prioritise the extraction of resources required for the creation of blue paint.

Idk wtf happened to watching movies. I swear there was a time when there were 50 different messages to turn your phone off and the lights went out and there was a tenseness and anticipation before the movie started and having your phone on could get you executed.

[@thatguywade5384]

It's so strange how well it seems these two movies compliment each other, at least in terms of battling ideologies. Cynicism and nihilism vs. Optimism. Whichever you view first, the other will give you the opposite, and it's almost intentional to give you that absolute broad spectrum of the future of humanity.

[@Devin_10k]

Lmao beta. Enjoy your toxic feminism.

[@DwarfDt]

It's a comedy. Don't take it too deep. My sister wouldn't stop mentioning the patriarchy thanks to it. Something about how girls grow up thinking they have the world ahead of them but when they grow up its nothing they imagined and somehow the patriarch is too blame. 😂

[@Burn-nf3fo]

Oppenheimer wasn’t meant to be a deep discussion of politics. It’s a biopic. Politics is within the film, but that’s not the message. Barbie is a political movie. It’s message is political. That’s probably why you felt the way you did. I have to say I didn’t feel anything after barbie. It was a fun silly movie, it’s political nonsense had some validity but it mainly shows how Greta misunderstands the society we live in.

[@EzaleaGraves]

I feel like they could both have the same emotional impact on someone's worldview, but it's much more likely that one will be a Stereotypical Barbie going through the world and finding more complexity than they expect than it is that they'll be a lead scientist/general/president who's able to influence this much of the world. I definitely think it's morally good to not bomb cities, but in my life I'm way more likely to deal with the social moralities that Barbie presents. Barbie didn't fully appreciate Ken, and Ken didn't have an identity outside of who he was to Barbie, and that's going to come up in my life a lot more. As other comments here have also said, Barbie is meant to make you think about your life while Oppenheimer is meant to make you think about the past, so they aren't exactly going for the same type of depth.

I believe that in the scene in which Florence Pugh's character kills herself it is just Oppenheimer whom is imagining himself drowning her; this sequence is a manifestation of his guilt, for he feels personally responsible for the death of his ex lover.

[@justinh4576]

@@QuestionableLifeChoices I know but from an objective filmmaking standpoint point, Oppenheimer doesn’t have a scene where the main characters spend 5+ minutes verbally explaining what the movie is about and all the themes. In spite of it being longer with much more dialogue, I think Oppenheimer, relative to what it sets out to accomplish, is much more effective than Barbie. Now it might just be a personal pet peeve of mine but I really don’t like when movies grind to a halt to verbally spoon feed the audience exactly what they’re supposed to glean from it. Barbie was already doing a good job with its subtext and that monologue just took the movie from a 9 to a 7 for me.

Barbie on the other hand I am likely going to end up seeing with my family. I am 43, my wife is 43, my daughter is 13, and my son is 10. While this is something I could've seen on my own later.

Oppenheimer clearly didn't make it clear enough what was at stake with the Q clearance. Losing it ended his career as a research physicist. In the 50s and 60s, to teach even at any prestigious university required the clearance. To get access to any nuclear research required the clearance. Losing the security clearance cost him his house, income, and career. That's not exactly "small stakes". But also a flaw of the movie imo.

Barbie was my favorite movie this year, and may be my favorite of all time!! Going into it I knew I would love it (Little Women was my favorite as a kid, and when Greta knocked that out of the park I knew I could trust her forever), but I didn’t expect to to feel so personal!! I don’t know if every woman feels this way, obviously America’s monologue is pretty universal, but I felt more seen by Margot’s Barbie when she breaks down and says something like “I can’t fix this, I’m not one of the smart Barbies, I’m just stereotypical Barbie, not good enough for anything.” Yall when I tell you I SOBBED I am not exaggerating!! As women we have huge societal level issues that need to be addressed and sometimes we can feel so incredibly inadequate in facing them, that we feel defeated even before we begin. And like America’s character, I too am sick and tired of every single woman I know feeling like she isn’t enough for this world. This movie hit me in such a personal spot, I honestly felt uncomfortable at times, like they were reading my journal aloud to the theater!

You should do a review of the wonderful Manhattan series! (2014)

The lesson I hope Hollywood learns from Barbie is that sometimes letting a creative director have some fun is a good way to make money. The lesson I think they'll learn - BRANDS and HOT ACTORS

Sadly probably true... but hey, maybe the writer strike will change something for the better! 🤞

I think the word you were looking for was synergy. It’s just more appropriate to the situation.

This Barbie image on the video was a lot on my 75" tv. I had to shut it off and just listen. I'm to drunk for that shit 😵‍💫

My understanding was that Japan actually *barely* surrendered even after the bombs and the soviet union declaring war. There was a coup against the emperor to stop the broadcast of his surrender speech that nearly succeeded. Not that I condone the bombing in any way, but the alternatives were staggeringly horrific across the board. Blockade or invasion would have killed millions. That's been my understanding of it anyway.

It's not about that though. It's about the fact that NEAR ZERO means it will happen. He is afraid for the future and the Arms race that will happen/did happen. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. That's what Bohr and Einstein was trying to tell him

Holy crap I didn't realize Gravik was in Barbie.
