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!

Ditto and agree. Barbie is the better movie for lots of reasons, OPP was actually a huge let down... I was really hoping for more details on why the bomb was actually used, more details on Russians involvement in Japan's surrender, and far more desperate angst. All in all OPP is fine, it's just definitely not Nolan's best.
I really don’t understand why people online (twitter and TikTok, but mostly twitter) were freaking out about this movie. I’m not talking about the valid historical critiques, but more so the people arguing whether Oppenheimer himself was portrayed as a sympathetic character vs a coward. I have to wonder if we watched the same movie because to me it was pretty damn clear what they were trying to portray, not just with the characters’ actions but with the framing and music choices. I did say both movies were complex and I stand by that, but Oppenheimer wasn’t complicated in the way some are making it out to be.
