    I loved Oppenheimer because I love biopics. Didn’t bother with Barbie because it seemed not my style.

      For what it’s worth, Barbie was way weirder than I thought it was going to be. Worth a watch imo

      What I assumed the movie would be about being a Barbie movie isn’t my style either. However, the Barbie movie was quite a bit more than I expected. I rather liked the subtle feminist messaging underneath the obvious message. The movie also didn’t take itself too seriously on what could be considered very delicate topics. I’d recommend it even for non-typical Barbie doll audience.

          While the feminist message was not meant to be subtle, there are plenty of subtle messages that people still haven’t figured out yet. At it’s core, Barbie is about identity and existence.

          It’s not that deep, but it is a bit more complex than at first glance.
