re: Just watched Oppenheimer for the first time at home

Friend,
There is no real comparison between Barbie and Oppenheimer. I saw both three times at the theater. Barbie gets better each time. It is a profoundly, delicately and ingeniously crafted jeremiad that is perfectly acted and hits the mark with seriousness and comedy in a way I cannot remember any film ever has. Oppenheimer is a decent biopic that is not particularly skillfully told. Its acting is forgettable.
Barbie will be studied as a film in the next generation for its approach to the topics of justice and gender relations. Oppenheimer, even with its serious subject, will not be discussed in 30 years because it has not added knowledge or a new way of viewing the atom bomb. The first time watching Oppenheimer was enjoyable. The second time a chore. The third was nearly torturous. It was the exact opposite with Barbie. What a rich and well told and hilarious tale. I did not expect to enjoy it even in the slightest; it was the surprise of the year. And if Gossling doesn’t win for best actor, that will be a discredit to the Academy.
Yours,

My brother in Christ,
Your opinion on Oppenheimer is flawed in every regard. I have 0 dislike for Barbie and feel like it achieved and amazing cultural phenomenon (deservedly) through acting, direction, and set pieces, but it remains just that. A phenomenon for this point in time.
Oppenheimer on the other hand, properly framed a world defining event through acting, tone, soundtrack, direction, sound, and visuals. My second and third viewing continued to impress me with the ability to make a bunch of scientists arguing theoretical and moral ideas fascinating.
The punchline to one is whether a character played with by billions indeed, has genitalia. The punchline to the other is what the moral conundrum is to dropping a bomb that takes thousands of lives would indeed save millions in the long run.
Your opinion in this matter on two great movies remains and will ever more, be dung.
Yours,
3nOut
