  I didn’t, but Barbie was a nice time watching a movie that didn’t even seem to take itself seriously

  But Oppenheimer was just a masterpiece

  • MargotRobbie@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Pssh. Everyone knows that the lead actress whats-her-name takes herself super seriously and would never, ever, say or do anything just because it’s funny.

      Is that academy award winning actress Margot Robbie?

      source

      • MargotRobbie@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Nominated. Would have been winning* if they let me name the movie “It’s Hardin’ Time” instead of “I, Tonya” then have Jared Leto rip me off.

        True genius is never appreciated until it is too late.

    I strongly disagree. Both were middling and forgettable. In a year or so most people will struggle to recall anything about either movie.

    • Something_Complex@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      cuz maybe you are not smart enough to understand Oppenheimer.

      But I guess some people are just simple.

      Here I’ll translate, bomb go bombom humanity goes die die. Unstoppable process , no stop.

      Simple?

        it’s not about that at all.

        my criticisms in brief:

        • creating a post-post-modern work but centering the drama around the pre-modern harmartia in a character
        • the absolute break neck speed of narrative in an incredibly long work, without intermission is very draining and not enjoyable
        • the absence of charisma from the lead character coupled with the inexplicable attraction and support of everyone around him to him
        • "who’s story was it?" there were so many conflicting POVs, and about half a dozen endings
        • the surrealism wasn’t earned or justified
        • the entire thing is about the possible human cost of such decisions but the only victim we see is imaginary
        • most of the dialog is essentially exposition of scientific or legal terms
        • although what happens - post hoc - was interesting. the actual experience of watching it unfold was just watching a bunch of people bicker about their jobs

        Honestly man, have you never heard of atom bombs and nuclear power before that movie? You make it sound like this movie is enlightening humanity about the dangers of nuclear weapons and revealing some kind of secrets that haven’t been common knowledge for decades.

        Or to use your degrading language that you seem to like to make us dumb dumbs understand: small thing goes boing, that bad, we deady-dead, just as granny said.

  I feel like me and my gf are the only people that had zero interest in Oppenheimer . Just didn’t appeal to me at all , barbie was great though !

  source
• Ibaudia@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I loved Oppenheimer because I love biopics. Didn’t bother with Barbie because it seemed not my style.

  source

  • 0ops@lemm.ee ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    For what it’s worth, Barbie was way weirder than I thought it was going to be. Worth a watch imo

    source
  • Ryan213@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It didn’t seem my style either but I went anyway and enjoyed it.

    What I assumed the movie would be about being a Barbie movie isn’t my style either. However, the Barbie movie was quite a be more than I expected. I rather liked the subtle feminist messaging underneath the obvious message. The movie also didn’t take itself too seriously on what could be considered very delicate topics. I’d recommend it even for non-typical Barbie doll audience.

      There was subtle messaging beneath the extremely overt messaging?

      source

      • MargotRobbie@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        While the feminist message was not meant to be subtle, there are plenty of subtle messages that people still haven’t figured out yet. At it’s core, Barbie is about identity and existence.

        It’s not that deep, but it is a bit more complex than at first glance.
