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?

    It’s corporate meme bait/nostalgia bait and it’s expected that would be more successful than a substantive movie. It’s the same reason more people eat McDonalds than good food.

    But woke has nothing to do with it. If you don’t think Oppenheimer is a more woke take on WW2 than movies from the past, watch it again.

    What you call woke culture is the culture now, period, get used to it. Being mad about it isn’t going to be a good way to live.
