Even at the Oscars comedic performances are often left behind even if the comedic actors did as good at their roles as the dramatic actors at their roles.

    With Barbenheimer, people who would normally only see one film or the other now give the other a chance. Fans of comedy give the historical drama a chance, and fans of historical drama give comedy a chance. Each film has something for everyone, something you can take away from it. Just yesterday I got dressed up like a doll to go see Barbie, and we had a blast. We’re going to see Oppenheimer next week (we just didn’t have enough time in the schedule to do both on one day) and I can’t be more excited. I became a fan of Christopher Nolan because of Interstellar, and reading the Science of Interstellar (a real book that discusses the real world science behind the film) made me fall in love with the way he does things. Barbie made me a fan of Greta Gerwig, and reinstilled that love for Barbie as a franchise into me. I remember fondly growing up with the direct-to-dvd movies the franchise had, so seeing Barbie on the big screen, with so many callbacks to older Barbie movies and dolls, felt like a dream.
    Ultimately, the unlikely meeting of these two movies, and the internet blowing it up, means people are excited to go to the movies again. And that is worth it’s weight in gold.
    The fact that both movies primarily used practical effects over cgi is the icing on the cake

  • @mia.e.morrison
    @mia.e.morrison Год назад +36

    I love this analysis. One thing I'd add, though, is that I don't think it's as surprising/impressive that Nolan's movie would attract teenagers today more than the latest action fare. I think teenagers in 2023 are acutely aware of the complex and existential struggles we face and longing not to be fed movies only as entertainment but movies that also wrestle with those dynamics (kinda like Every Everywhere All at Once).
    Only speaking as an older Gen Z / cusp person here - I've been feeling like movies have been missing possibilities for meaningful, beautiful, artful storytelling in favor of just churning out more, for more money. And often to the detriment of the artists who make movies possible. It's refreshing seeing Barbie, Oppenheimer, and the Spider-Verse movies.

    Barbenheimer was really good.
    For Barbie, whole cast was great, but Ryan Gosling stole the show for me. Margot Robbie was such great casting for Barbie. The film really went beyond what you would expect and wove together a narrative about identity and finding your place in the world beyond what is foisted upon you due to your gender role. It really shows that everyone struggles with issues of identity because of the expectations that we all have to deal with.
    For Oppenheimer, the cast from top to bottom was impressive. Cillian Murphy commanded your attention and was so captivating as the lead. Robert Downey Jr. also showed why he’s a talented actor beyond just blockbusters. As much as I love Iron Man and his Sherlock Holmes, it’s nice to see him return to dramatic work. Also Emily Blunt was sooo good in the last act. Made me wish she got more to do. I also wish Florence Pugh had more meat on the bone as well. Really loved how the film wasn’t about a triumphant sense of accomplishment about making a great scientific advancement. It was about the pressures that basically guaranteed that nuclear weapons would be created and how Oppenheimer has to wrestle with the weight of forces beyond his control. Truly it shows that human progress is a process of standing on your predecessors’ shoulders and how every little discovery funnels civilization down to the path that we know today. In some ways the nuclear arms race was fueled by forces beyond our control, and we have to deal with our own complicity and responsibility within that system. The ending shot was so effective.

    Just got done seeing barbie. I'm the exact opposite of the target demographic, and i still thought, despite it's annoying heavy-handed messaging, was still artistically creative and genuinely original. It's amazing what good art can overcome, even to someone like myself, who had every reason to despise it.

      I'm not the target demographic as well but I think it was fantastic, the message sure can be uncomfortable but it's not unreasonable or unnecessary. I could see many of my guy friends in Ken and if they can understand the message, they'll instantly become more likeable, especially by girls they constantly chase.
      Oppenheimer was uncomfortable as well at many points but because we aren't politicians and decision makers, we didn't feel personal discomfort 🙃

    All of Christopher Nolan’s movies ending gave me chills and goosebumps like ending of Dark Knight is heroic, ending of Inception is mind blowing, the ending of Dunkirk is cause of wars, the ending of Prestige is result on how two rivals that invoked other people dying.
    However the ending of Oppenheimer it has different feels, I loved how Nolan recreated Oppenheimer’s speech at the end but in a visualization style and shows the representation of future use of his atomic bomb.

    Went into Barbie expecting it to be cute, walked out of there stunned!!! Barbie dealing with existentialism and ken learning toxic masculinity. Oppenheimer was alright, mostly due to the fact that it’s about something we already know about lol buttt I gotta say the last hour was good. And my favorite part was the scene where he’s giving a speech to the audience on the bleachers. Best part of the movie and very encapsulating.

    0:00: ! The film Barberheimer has become a cultural phenomenon, with people planning to see both Barbie and Oppenheimer on the same day.
    4:03: ! Greta Gerwig and Christopher Nolan have distinct styles and themes in their films, with Gerwig focusing on gender roles and womanhood, and Nolan exploring mankind's capacity for destruction.
    8:07: 💡 The video discusses the tension surrounding Barbie as a symbol of traditional beauty standards and a tool for the patriarchy, while also challenging gender roles.
    12:24: 🎥 Greta Gerwig expresses her desire to emulate Christopher Nolan's career trajectory in filmmaking.
    16:11: 🎥 Warner Brothers intentionally released Barbie on the same day as Oppenheimer as a spiteful move against Christopher Nolan, but it backfired.

    Personally, I'm not really interested in going to see either of these films. In the case of Barbie, that has never been my cup of tea, though I do respect Greta Gerwig's artistic ambitions with this film and clear passion for the material. In the case of Oppenheimer, I'm not really interested in biopics despite my love of several of Christopher Nolan's previous films. I rather just watch a documentary on the subject.
    Having said that, I do find the Barbenheimer phenomenon quite fascinating from an outsider perspective. The fact that what started out as a simple internet meme has grown into geniune anticipation for these two incredibly different films is quite remarkable.

    • @salmanfarsi6728

      Nolan is very hit or miss with me, personally. Only a few of his films really wow'd me. This is to say, I went into Oppenheimer very apprehensive, especially after Tenet, and ended up enjoying it very much. Barbie on the other hand is 80% garbage, don't even bother. Unironically, the best parts of the film were Gosling's Ken being a moron and Michael Cera being Michael Cera.

  • @Skillseboy1
    @Skillseboy1 Год назад +1

    In my opinion, you underplay the perceived image of Oppenheimer. "Nolan has a reputation people will show up for, even for a drama they otherwise wouldn't see." It's a movie about the creation and creator of the most destructive weapon humanity has ever made, and one of the most decisive developments for the course of the world. Nolan definitely deserves immense credit for his reputation, but don't pin this movie's success so much on him. People were eager to learn about a point in history that they didn't know much about yet.

    There's one problem though - big chunk of people aren't excited to see Oppenheimer/Barbie for the movie itself. They're only excited to take part in this social media made event. Too less extent with Barbie, I believe but that's beside the point. It's FOMO at it's worst and it does no service to the movie industry. It artificially fills pockets of studios. The studios writers and actors are actively fighting.

    Personally for me, BARBIE has the upper hand than even OPPENHEIMER. Both major films coming out on the same day with bits of controversy about its content (BARBIE isn't aimed at kids with its PG-13 and OPPENHEIMER is Nolan's first R-rated film in 20+ years). I honestly didn't expect the satire and humour to be as out-there and cutthroat at places for essentially a highly corporate vanity project (BARBIE) than I did the well-written, dense political drama (OPPENHEIMER).

    Barbie is similar to another movie I liked that was also set in Los Angeles as the backdrop ( I have not seen barbie just the trailer) and featured an Australian lady in the lead role Called Xanadu 1980 Olivia Newton John. Like Barbie its a fantasy comes into real world movie. It had great music and interesting story but in 1980 did not do well at the box office. Audiences back then I guess were spoilt for choice on the great movies on offer in that era. Maybe if Greta Gerwig jumped in a time machine back to 1980 and directed Xanadu with Olivia Newton John it would have been a hit. Like you said the skill and talent of a Director can make or break a movie. I find similarities between Barbie and Xanadu released in 1980. One is doing brilliantly at the box office where as Xanadu bombed at the box office. Olivia Newton John was a real star and she deserved to go out on a high with Xanadu. I love Xanadu. More directed at a female audience than male but that movie rocks with great music and Gene Kelly. I only saw it first time on reruns on tv back in the mid 1990s.

  • @DataLal

    It's interesting how this Barbenheimer phenomenon, as glorious as it is, kinda serves as a convenient distraction from the SAG-AFTRA strike that is hampering Hollywood right now. I'm not begrudging this - many of the actors in both Barbie and Oppenheimer are going right back to the picket lines if they're not there already, and maybe we all need a breather from the now months-long strike. But I'd rather see the folks behind the scenes who make films happen get decent paychecks and non-exploitative working hours than be sated by Hollywood double features, going forward.
    Remember the genius of Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse? That film rests on the backs of many animators who barely got sufficient pay or rest while working on that project - they put their blood, sweat and tears into that film for very little in return, and I think many of them subsequently threw in the towel altogether on being industry animators, going forward. Hollywood's way of doing things is unsustainable on many levels. So, solidarity for the strikers, I say.
