Watched Oppenheimer today. It’s a fantastic film. Christopher Nolan is a fucking genius. The way the movie is structured, the quality of scenes, the general feel, everything is so refreshing. It was a revelation when most of the movies releasing are woke shit.

But still barbie gets more popular than Oppenheimer? What? I watched trailers and reviews of barbie and from what I know, it’s a woke shit that tells matriarchy is better than patriarchy, with a bit of comedy admittedly. I mean yes they can have their freedom of speech, but how does a film like that shadows a fucking artwork like Oppenheimer? What am I missing?

    Barbie has a bigger audience target, and even kids can go see it and have fun. I wouldn’t bring my toddlers to see Oppenheimer, I’d go watch it with only my wife but that requires finding someone to watch after them for at least 3 hours

    It’s not more popular, oppenheimer has 2.5x more box office, imdb ratings…

    I didn’t watch the movies yet, but I’m sure both are good enough. Even barbie, Greta Gerwig didn’t make a bad movie yet and her husband helping to cowrite is always a good result.

    Nevertheless it’s the same as it was always, movies get popular because of marketing, which is frustrating for me to confess. And they get popular, because they are already popular and they look kinda fun and popy.

    Most people really don’t care about other aspects of the filmmaking. And in my opinion your example is less frustrating, than Marvel dominating for the last decade.

    Holy shit dude, learn to write before attempting to engage in written conversation. This reads like it was written by a 13 year old who barely pays attention in class. It’s so clear you’re not actually asking in good faith and just felt compelled to complain. To answer your “question”, people are less likely to seek out art about privileged men destroying things than they are a fun summer movie.
