I've been sick of the marketing push about this for months by now. Just let it be over punished-bernie

    My lib sibling literally called Oppenheimer an anti-communist propaganda piece, so I guess you should be thankful Barbie gets pushed more.

        A 2 hour toy commercial about an Aryan children's toy with blonde hair and blue eyes that was created to give little girls body dysmorphia so they would grow up to be obedient housewives

        versus

        a movie about a famous scientist with friends in the CPUSA who gave money to leftist causes and helped defeat fascism and was suspected of communist sympathies himself.

        But Chris Nolan made the second one so it's reactionary. Forget about death of the author

          There’s a scene where a middle schooler virtually quotes this to Barbies face and calls her a fascist which makes her cry

            the movie was boring but i don’t remember anything particularly anti-communist. the politics were fine iirc

                the movie doesn’t uphold that line though. it’s all shown from oppenheimer’s perspective, but after the bomb’s dropped he mentions how he found out the japanese were on the brink of surrender regardless and that they weren’t necessary, and also how it was really to intimidate the soviet union. the movie definitely depicts everyone and everything that happened as evil

                    i didn’t enjoy it, it’s just that isn’t true regarding the movie. nolan’s a horrible director but i feel like this movie doesn’t have the horrible politics his films usually have, definitely not the level of his batman movies.
