As the title says; I watched both Oppenheimer and Barbie back to back with my friends today, so if you’re interested in what the experience was like or what happened in each movie or any questions really please ask away!

      Im really happy you enjoyed yourself, my friend. I was surprised at how Oppenheimer was softer on the communists and portrayed the American government as overly paranoid, then again I do feel it played a fairly “centrist” role, for lack of a better word.

      While I think the visuals of the movie were extraordinary, I was not a fan of the lack of subtlety. Certain historical figures were treated like Marvel cameos so much so I was anticipating to hear the Avengers theme play; as if they were teasing a sequel movie.

      The sexual content was uncomfortable in a unique way and I definitely believe certain parts could’ve been cut. I’m making it sound like I hated this movie and I swear I didn’t, I still don’t. I feel there could’ve been less and more, some content should’ve been scrapped to make room for others if that makes sense.

      I’m surprised at the arguments people are having online about Oppenheimer. Nobody seems to agree on whether he was portrayed as a hero or a coward and to me it was incredibly clear how the movie framed the man and the events that occurred. Based on music choices and editing alone it’s obvious, at least to me.
