Barbenheimer weekend was AMAZING 🥹💕
However, I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about Oppenheimer that are irritating me, and I just wanna make something clear:
OPPENHEIMER IS NOT ABOUT THE ATOMIC BOMB.
Yes, it talks about the atomic bomb, because it’s an important part of Oppenheimer’s life, but the bomb itself is a small part of the movie. The subject of the movie is the title: Oppenheimer. It’s a movie about him.
It’s about his genius, his flaws, his stress and anxiety, his guilt, his relationship with his wife (someone give Emily Blunt an Oscar), and his guilt about the atomic bomb, and the trial. A lot of people are assuming it’s about the bomb, because of the promotional poster, but the man was called “the Father of the atomic bomb.”
Also, people saying that they’re no Japanese people in the film…why would there be? It’s not about WW2, it’s about Oppenheimer. His life, the work that went into making the atomic bomb, and all the issues and arguments that went into it. It would be insanely rude and insensitive to show that part of it, because the movie isn’t about the bomb. The most they would’ve showed is the bombing and then y’all REALLY would’ve been mad.
If you don’t wanna see it, by all means, don’t watch it. However, don’t say, “they’re praising the atomic bomb and then dropping it,” because that’s not what the movie is about AT ALL. If anything, it shows how much guilt and regret the physicists/scientists felt during creating it, and how much they felt after it was dropped.
The movie is a biopic about a man, not a bomb.
Also, Barbie was the shit and you should all watch it.
Both movies are a 10/10.
