Barbie. Oppenheimer. Barbenheimer. It’s more than a meme. It’s a legend. Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer premiering on the same day in July 2023 is the perfect opportunity to compare these two wildly different films, and in doing so actually uncover some surprising similarities between the movies and the film-makers behind them.
Get ready for BARBENHEIMER.
🎞️ BARBIE (also known as Barbie: The Movie) is a 2023 fantasy comedy film directed by Greta Gerwig. Based on the Barbie fashion dolls by Mattel, it is the first live-action Barbie film. The film stars Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, who go on a journey of self-discovery after their expulsion from the utopian Barbie Land. Appearing in supporting roles are America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell. 🎞️
🎞️ OPPENHEIMER is a 2023 epic biographical thriller film written, produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan. It is based on the 2005 biography American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the theoretical physicist who helped develop the first nuclear weapons on the Manhattan Project. The film stars Cillian Murphy as the title character, with a supporting ensemble cast including Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh. 🎞️

Some week later I'm back in the cinema watching another movie, feeling the bass reverb from the truck / car / motorcycle scene from the movie theater below the one I was in. I was almost longing to see it a third time, but then I'd have to check myself into some mental asylum. Long story short, I know the reverb feeling of another movie 🍿

@rachelthornton4442 10 ай бұрын

SPOILERS FOR BOTH MOVIES: Another thing worth mentioning is that both are movies about legacy. Oppenheimer initially believes that the atomic bomb will be this beautiful revelation of all his theories and a way to save the world. Barbie initially believes that everyone loves Barbie and that they've fixed all the problems in the world. But they both learn they're wrong. Barbie is now perceived as a weapon for systematic patriarchy and a tool for making women feel bad about themselves, and the atomic bomb is...the atomic bomb. What started out as innocent for both Oppenheimer and Barbie has now become an existential nightmare for both of them. They were created to help people, not hurt them. So they try to undo what they've done, which as we know, is impossible. You can't unmake the atomic bomb, you can't get rid of the knowledge to make such a weapon, you can't undo what happened to Nagasaki and Hiroshima. And you can't unmake Barbie, you can't fix the years of systematic oppression, capitalist greed, and psychological damage that this doll has done to young girls' self-esteem. Two scenes I found powerful in both movies was their respective revelation of this. Oppenheimer is confronted with photos of the victims of the Hiroshima bombing. A young girl, who is basically Barbie's target demographic, rips apart everything Barbie has come to represent to her face. And neither of them can take it. Oppenheimer has to look away, Barbie starts tearing up through her forced smile. Barbie even says something that applies to both films; "We failed them." The fact that this whole Barbenheimer thing started out as a way for corporations to dick around filmmakers, but has now become a really nice way of appreciating filmmaking in all of its forms, is amazing to me. The fact that there are two great films that tell similar stories but in radically different ways is amazing to me. What started out as a rivalry has become a celebration of the medium, and that's really cool.

@N0tsaved 10 ай бұрын

This is the perfect comment. I'm an existentialist first and that's why both of these appealed to me. Barbie was the existentialist nightmare I knew it to be from the trailers. There was an undertone of tragedy behind the plastic smiles and everything around her. It flat out admits that the goal of Barbie failed to become the dream of liberated and equal girls who would become women that are the equal of their male peers. The worst part is that so many people that sub to this person have already been poisoned to see pink and girly and bark like a dog. Barbie is an admission of the failure of feminism's goal and what is needed to move forward with both men and women as equals.

@rachelthornton4442 10 ай бұрын

@@N0tsaved Thanks so much! I loved both films for different reasons (I’m probably discussing Barbie more because I was a Barbie fan growing up.) What I think this movie does so well though is that it addresses the existentialism with honesty, rather than with optimism or cynicism. My favourite moment of the movie was the moment on the bench, because I just think it’s the perfect response to the movie’s nihilism. Barbie is just sitting there, look at everything, looking at humanity, in all of its happiness and sadness and complicated beauty. Then she sees the old woman (played by costume icon Ann Roth.) All this time, she was afraid of death, of growing up, of getting cellulite, of changing into something that isn’t perfect. But Barbie sees the old woman and she thinks she’s beautiful. The old woman is the embodiment of all those things Barbie was afraid of, but those things make her beautiful. And better yet, she knows those things make her beautiful. Because that’s what being a woman is. Hell, that’s what existence is. It’s growth, it’s change, it’s getting cellulite, it’s ugly, it’s having bad days and bad thoughts, becoming weird, being afraid and uncomfortable but it’s also about being happy, becoming beautiful, enjoying your time with other people, loving other people and loving yourself. And the same thing could be said for Barbie. She’s over sixty years old but also in her early twenties. She has every job in the world and no job at all. She’s a sexualised object but has no genitals. She comes in every shape and size, but will forever be blonde and skinny. She’s every woman’s dream and every woman’s nightmare. She’s perfect but as imperfect as they come. Existence is as contradictory as Barbie herself. And that’s beautiful.

@me-myself-i787 9 ай бұрын

Also, in both cases, it's debatable whether either character did the harm they think they did. That girl was from a very progressive family who goes to school in a very progressive area with very progressive teachers. Of course she'd be taught about the patriarchy, even if it doesn't exist, as evidenced by Ken failing to find jobs in the Real World. And Oppenheimer opposes the bomb, despite it ending World War 2.

@@noskillreal haha well since you asked I'll try not to spoil too much. On the surface the film is a silly movie about a toy going into the real world, but underneath its about the reversal of gender roles. It does show inequality between men and women, but with the men being oppressed by the women and trying to fight for their rights. Essentially, men are put in the place of where women have been for centuries (excluded from positions of power and treated as second class citizens). I think a lot of the controversy started because most of the philosophy is subtle and some people would rather blame the other gender than put themselves in another person's shoes. Go into this movie with an open mind and you will find a surprisingly deep, funny, and dare I say dystopian story. Go into this movie expecting identity politics and you will be too offended to look deeper. TL;DR Watch Barbie with an open mind

The thing I love about Barbenheimer is that the shared release date is actually a common strategy for covering demographics -- theatres want to always have one new kids movie, one new "boys movie" (action comedies, historical movies abt great men, etc) and one new "girls movie" (romantic comedies, historical romance etc), so that everyone who comes to the theatre will find something "for them" -- that tends to reinforce gender stereotypes. The same could have easily happened with Barbie and Oppenheimer; girls seeing the former and boys seeing the latter, and then battling it out on the internet (where Oppenheimer would, undoubtedly, win. As you say, most of the internet tastemakers are still men). With that first teaser, Gerwig opened up new demographics to Barbie, and in doing so, made people notice that the two movies shared a release date. And then, instead of making this some kind of culture war (as the internet often does), people came together to create Barbenheimer -- this beautiful phenomenon where everyone, regardless of gender and typical preference, is encouraged to watch BOTH the Manliest Manly Movie AND the Girliest Girly one. Now let's just hope the movies are as great as they seem! 👠💣

I'm convinced, I didn't know anything about Barbie until I saw my first trailer of it right before this video and seeing the detail, passion and skill behind both productions through your vid makes me actually wish I were more of a filmhead myself. My impression of big movies is too much that they're made with a mish-mash of people most interested in money, those with the skills and talent to make parts of the movie happen but without enough of a voice, and peeps who look good on camera... Didn't know about the Barbie teaser until now and I really like Margot Robbie, also thought the trailer was clever and loved how straightforward it was with noting "If you hate Barbie, this movie is also for you". I remember being disappointed I was given a Polly Pocket as a kid when I wanted the cooler boyish toys, so I kind of wanted to steer clear of all the pink... I definitely judged too quick when hearing about a "Barbie movie" that peers were "watching for memes".

You could actually feed the dog, it could poop, and then you'd clean up after it and do it again. It was a weird concept in hindsight but it added tons of diversity when playing with it. I remember Mattel had a recall because the food/poop had magnets in them so they could be cleaned easier, and my mom and to take it away so we wouldn't also eat it. The dog was one of my favorite toys when playing with Barbies, and it was so cool to see them acknowledge no only it, but other weird or discontinued dolls as well. I had Growing Up Skipper from when my mom used to play with Barbies. I remember seeing the Barbie with the camera in her chest in stores and wanting it so desperately for my birthday. At attention to details is outstanding.

Of course, that’s probably because of purity culture, so as not to encourage young women to want to become pregnant at a young age; as a result, however, Mattel created a woman who’s value was not in being a mother, but in being herself, with a million jobs and one name, a woman to define every woman.

Just got back from Barbenheimer. I saw Oppenheimer first then Barbie, and I really recommend that order, I can't imagine doing it any other way. The first film is about how we could have destroyed the world 80 years ago, but we didn't. I got to walk into Barbie after that to see a fun, clever, beautiful movie produced by a world that didn't blow ourselves up. We survived Oppenheimer and we got to see Barbie. Humanity is great.

As an experience together, I can see Oppenheimer being the better option to go first. But if you want to enjoy each film on its own merits, I think barbie first is the way to go. To me Oppenheimer very much feels like a movie that takes some time to process afterwards, and I think that watching barbie afterwards would have detracted from my experience of both movies. At least if you watched them back to back like I did.

As a girly girl who enjoys seriously crafted films I can't express how excited I am for Barbie, just because it's fun and cute doesn't mean it can't be good and serious. I hope this inspires other directors to take their works and up them instead of just assuming it won't work or that people won't notice if it cuts corners.

@DavidKennedy0391 10 ай бұрын

I don't know if you know this, but there was actually a double billing event that's eerily similar to Barbenhiemer that happened in Japan a long time ago. Two anime movies from the same animation studio, Studio Ghibli; ("My Neighbor Totoro" and "Grave of the Fireflies") were both released on April 16, 1988! They were directed by two of the studio's founders, Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata respectively. Both of whom are respected filmmakers. "My Neighbor Totoro" is kid's movie about two sisters who move into the countryside and befriend a forest spirit named Totoro. It's a very happy and cheerful movie for all ages while "Grave of the Fireflies" is the exact opposite. It's about two siblings trying to survive in post WW2 Japan after the war left them orphaned and homeless. It's a sad and downright heartbreaking movie with a powerful message about the consequences of war that's not for the most emotional of people. A happy, funny, and cheerful adventure film for all ages and a drama film set in World War II released on the same day made by acclaimed filmmakers. If that's not a strange coincidence, I don't know what is!

@PentexProductions 10 ай бұрын

I didn't know about that! Even more strange that they came from the same studio!

@jamillybatista9793 10 ай бұрын

FYI, 'cause both of them are from the same studio, they decided to make a double-release, where you would watch Grave of the Fireflies first and then My Neighbor Totoro after. But the test audience were devasted after watching the first movie, crying their eyes out because of the orphans in the war, so they weren't paying attention to the happy sisters playing with a fluffy forest spirit. (both movies are incredible, i only recommend an box of tissue for Grave of the Fireflies + a time to digest the story)

@kennedymungai 10 ай бұрын

Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata love doing this. In The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness documentary, they show some of the behind the scenes drama involved in such a release. What you stated above actually repeated itself in 2013 when Takahata and his team released The Tale of Princess Kaguya and Miyazaki and his team released Kaze Tachinu, though the movies do not have a contrast that is as dramatic.

@@GiggleBlizzard The workers remain poor because the workers keep empowering the state to "protect them" when the stat is and always will be run by the powerful. The reason workers are poor is because of lack of competition in the labour space. The reason for lack of competition is two fold, one overly complex regulations for starting and running a business, and two wage laws that set minimum wage standards allowing large companies to create a wage floor for all workers regardless of skill level. Yet socialist morons will always clamber for more regulations no matter how much evidence is provided demonstrating the adverse effects. "Jeff bezos has a rocket so we need more laws!!!!" idiots
