i posted last week about how i went to watch oppenheimer as part of barbenheimer & then ended up writing a 900 word essay about it. three people asked to see the essay so here it is:
a three hour anxiety attack
i watched oppenheimer; had dinner, watched barbie and then showered. i cant stop thinking about this movie. the thing about christopher nolan movies is that there’s always a part of them that makes me remember why i love movies, a part of me that is reminded of their power in the way that they make me feel things. most succinctly, yes, this movie is a three hour anxiety attack because i spent the entirety of the movie anxious, knowing little about this film other than that an atomic bomb is going to be made and dropped on hiroshima and nagasaki.
while i was much too dumb to understand the timeline of events, christopher nolan still makes such a foreign experience feel personal and familiar. relatable even, even though the times have changed. people have always been people, flawed and trusting and selfish. there’s the case of the spy, a jewish man, much like oppenheimer, that oppenheimer initially trusts out of community in hard times. you can understand oppenheimer’s devotion to the war, as someone so personally affected by it. there’s something personal, in the orchestration of the betrayal by robert downey jr (i cannot remember his characters name, truly, he was not that memorable), and how oppenheimer goes from respected to blacklisted. people are petty and cruel. i don’t think i’ve ever seen a movie with a sex scene that i found added to the plot of characters, but there is something so powerful in jean’s death being the only one explicitly shown on screen: humans are selfish and will be our own demise because we, more often than not, cannot find the empathy to care for people who we don’t know. it’s the trolley problem - the death of a lover or the death of hundreds of thousands, or even, the very end of the world.
there’s one line of dialogue that hasn’t left my mind since i finished watching this movie, almost ten hours ago now. it’s the moment in which they’re discussing what cities to bomb, and one character goes ‘not kyoto. there’s too much culture. plus my wife and i honeymooned there’ or something of the sort. it’s the kind of moment that shocked me, how the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians were held in the hands of a guy making decisions based on his honeymoon. it’s the most memorable example of the question ‘who had the right to power’, regarding people’s lives, that consumes this movie. who has the right to create and use a weapon of mass destruction? another that i think of, is the scene with truman. i think that christopher nolan has portrayed a president more accurately than any other piece of media in the past: the president is not just some boss man, he is a guy appointed to look over entire fields he could not possibly understand the weight of, not even if he tried. truman’s depiction in this movie - as does everyone’s, honestly - feels so real because every single person has flaws. everyone here is so deeply flawed and insufferable, even oppenheimer, who likely is only slightly better because he’s aware of it all.
in high school, i was forced to spend two entire years studying world war two and the cold war from every perspective - japan, germany, italy, the united states, the soviet union, china, france and england. so of course, the questions of the ethics and necessity of the dropping of the atomic bomb came up, and there are so many discussions to be had within that. and yet, there wasn’t enough in this film. maybe this is a good thing, given that would require the opinions and analysis of the work of many historians that would likely derail the vision of nolan’s film, it would’ve meant a lot to the little nerd in me specifically.
oppenheimer opposes the hydrogen bomb because if the united states has one; the soviet union, their enemies at the time, would be forced to make one too. on a side note, another moment in this film that made my gut wrench was when this claim is denied on the belief that russia does not have the resources, or knowledge to compete with the united states. and god what a fucking blessing and curse is hindsight, as underestimating russia and the soviet union during a war is just as relevant today. this makes an interesting biopic to me because everyone knows about the atomic bomb. everyone knows about chernobyl and nuclear power. in fact, in the very basic level science classes i took, the world nuclear power became synonymous with chernobyl. bad things happen, and we know it, and this movie helps to warn us a bit about it.
enough on the history nerd stuff i truly did forget how much of my life i spent studying history, even if i only stopped just over a year ago. the sound design of this movie was fucking insane. every piece of audio, the line delivery, everything, made me feel so much (besides rdj - i get what people say about people having faces that know what iphones are) the shots were fucking masterful and despite being a three hour film, there was not a single moment (beyond the sex scenes mayhaps) that i felt dragged on for longer than they needed to. once again, just to end this off, god i fucking loved the sound of this movie, the build up, the anxiety, everything. while i most certainly have not seen enough christopher nolan to say definitively that this is his best work, i can most certainly see why people would say it is so.
to everyone wanting to do barbenheimer double features i want to say please don’t think you can watch oppenheimer casually especially if you spent years of your life studying world war two and the cold war from the perspective of every country involved and completely forgot about it i just wrote a 900 word essay on oppenheimer. i have work later.
guys I've just seen oppenheimer.
The film is gorgeous, watch it.
I woke up with the most disgusting and cursed thought I've ever had
op
op op
oppen heimer style
when i’m going about my day listening to the oppenheimer soundtrack and suddenly i am become death the destroyer of worlds
Jumbo shrimp? More like big shrimp.
Barbie | Oppenheimer
My tattoo design
It represents wave particle duality which is a great metaphor for my gender: I am both a probabilistic wave and a discrete particle. I am constantly collapsing into a particle when I’m observed (you either know my position or my velocity but not both). When I’m not being observed I am a probabilistic wave of possibilities.
The two particles — one in the middle and another up and left from the center — represent why I continue to do anything, my reasons for existing:
The middle dot stands for understanding how the universe and everything in it fundamentally works — an aspiration that the fractal theory of everything helps me with.
The other stands for mutual unconditional love — especially the love I have toward my partner who is the first person I felt mutual unconditional love with.
I look forward to adding many more dots over my lifetime whenever I find a new achievable goal to strive toward. I hope eventually I will find both fixing the increase in societal inequality over time and fixing the increase in global warming achievable.
As of present both of those issues are far out of reach for me due to the immense inertia that both of them have and I don’t want to spend time fighting for one small shove against those boulders rolling down a mountain, a shove that might crush me in the process. I would rather figure out how to meaningfully change their paths for the better. Maybe that involves exploding the boulders. Maybe that involves flattening the hill. Maybe that involves adding a ramp to the hill so the boulders fly away, never to be seen again. Maybe that involves learning to be a Jedi so I can use the force on the boulders. I’m not sure what the solution will be but I know I’m not at the point where I can have a meaningful impact on either of them so instead for my well-being I would rather focus on issues that I do feel I can make a significant impact on today, in the hopes that eventually I will have enough wisdom and power to make a meaningful difference on those two big issues at hand.

Oppenheimer? More like open that movie theater I’m watching Barbie
I watched Barbenheimer today
i waited 2 hours in between movies
and if the oppenheimer busssssss
crashes into usssss
ok so tell me: which movie the NH boys would choose to watch? Oppenheimer or Barbie?
I love this question! Apologies if some of the characters are OC, I haven't played or talked about this game in a LONG time
NIGHTMARE HAREM :
OPPENHEIMER OR BARBIE ?
𝕃𝕦𝕔𝕚𝕒
I feel like he would want to watch Oppenheimer at first because he thinks Barbie is too ''girly''
And he's the future king so a movie about politics is necessary...right?
We all know that Mefy is the only one with a brain in their family...
But let's be honest, in reality this man is a Barbie movie watcher.
When he saw the trailer and heard people talk about it, he gave up all motivation he had for Oppenheimer and RAN to get tickets
He tried to get Levy to come with him, but he said no
That one guy to dress in full pink and yell ''HI BARBIE'' ''HI KEN'' at every single person he sees.
Every. Single. One.
He cries at the ending and he probably spent the whole movie insulting the antagonists
When he goes back home, he starts a deep conversation at dinner about feminism and womanhood
Does he buy Barbie merch? Fuck yes, he does.
Probably bitched for 20 minutes to Kaim about having seen Mikael at the theater
𝕃𝕖𝕧𝕪
Oppenheimer.
I do not take any objections, this man goes to see Oppenheimer.
He spends his days reading books about war and military tactics, there's no way he wouldn't want to watch a movie about war and bombs
Plus he believes it makes him more mature than Lucia
In reality, the simple fact that Lucia asked him to go see Barbie together was enough for him to completely boycott the movie.
He's embarassed by Lucia's new greetings tactics
He goes with Mefy and is amazed by the plot of the movie
He's not a fan of the more dramatic side of the story, he finds it quite boring. But he LOVES the whole military and war aspect of it.
He probably asks Lucia to add a bomb to their weapons, afterall it would be perfect to annihilate the angels !
Totally no risks whatsoever, right?
He definitely has a list of advantages for it and notes he took while watching the movie.
Lucia said no.
You would think this man would go see Barbie, right? Afterall, he just got those Barbie vibes
𝕄𝕖𝕗𝕪
WRONG.
This guy goes to Oppenheimer, he thinks Barbie is too boring and not violent enough
What did you expect?He ordered the execution of his two brothers and closest servants in his bad ending
He doesn't care that Barbie actually hasa deeper meaning, it doesn't have near enough pain and despair for him to be interested by it
He just want to see people suffer
Isn't rooting for any camp in the movie
He's rooting for the bomb to explode on everyone
Goes with Levy to see the movie and takes mental notes for his evil plans
Mikael immediately throws them away once he receives them
Giggles when there's a tragic scene and rolls his eyes everytime a character survives
He wants everyone to perish
He's the guy to spoil the ending to the next wave of people going inside the room
He's not sorry about it
He would go watch Barbie to spoil it to Lucia later
He goes to see Barbie for two reasons
𝕆𝕤𝕨𝕒𝕝𝕕
The first one being Kurt and his damned sad puppy eyes
The second one being that Oppenheimer is way too intense for him. We know for a fact that Oswald is a very soft person and that he tries to keep control over the reaper side of himself so there's no way he's going to see a movie about war
And the movie would make him sad
He would also probably go crazy just by the blood on the screen
Therefore he goes to see Barbie and he might put on some pink accents and accessories just to make Kurt happy
But nothing more, he really doesn't want to stand out in the crowd.
Despite his best efforst to stay discret, he will be flirted with by TONS of people
A big muscular guy going to see Barbie ? Anyone would be luckuy to have him
Spends half of hi paycheck on the arcade games and on snacks because it's Kurt's first time going to the movie theater and he wants the boy to have the time of his life
He went with Kaim and Kurt, but somehow Noel ended up tagging along
Nobody knows how or why, Noel is just there.
Neither, he's too busy and he really doesn't care.
𝕂𝕒𝕚𝕞
If he really had a choice, he would go see Oppenheimer because it's more realistic and could potentially be useful for the upcoming war in Nightmare
Sadly, he doesn't actually have a choice and is dragged to go see Barbie with Lucia
Lucia really didn't take Levy's rejection very well
He has to stop Lucia from screaming ''HI BARBIE'' or ''HI KEN'' at every single stranger they see
Is actually embarassed by Lucia's antics and just wishes to go back to the manor
His headache worsen when Lucia and Mikael sports each other and start to argue in the movie theater
He's this close to leave without Lucia
Swears to himself that he won't even go see a movie to a movie theater again
He ends up going again with Kurt and Oswald because Kurt gave him the sad puppy eyes.
Please someone let this man rest
𝕂𝕦𝕣𝕥
Barbie.
And Kaim gets him a little pink suit just for the occasion.
Let's be honest, Kurt is just a child and seeing how sensible he was in the game, I think he deserves to go see a more upbeat and colorful movie than Oppenheimer.
Especially since he lives in a place where war is a common reality, I believe that making him go see Oppenheimer would just make him worry even more about the conflicts between the angels and demons in Nightmare.
And he's a sweetheart so he deserves to go have some fun and laugh !
Probably asked Kaim what was a gynecologist after the movie
Kaim regretted going against his self-promise
He totally begged Oswald and Kaim to come with him and he spent the whole movie whispering to them
Ends up whispering to Noel instead and they become friends
Barbie.
𝕄𝕚𝕜𝕒𝕖𝕝
If he could, he would rent out the whole move theater just to not see anyone and watch his damn movie in peace
He just hates other people
This man doesn't give a shit about potential military tactics or war, he has Ricardo for that
And he's nuts enough fpor the both of them
So he goes to watch Barbie and bringes Noel with him because he needs someone to gossip with
He's the type to give judgemental stares at other people in the queue
Ricardo tags along and ends up complaining about it despite not being forced to come
He was even strongly encouraged to not come at all
When he sees Lucia in the movie theater he immediately makes snippy comments and snarky remarks about his outfit
Mikael wouldn't dress in full pink, but he would add pink undertones to his robes
This man is clearly HOOKED by the plot of the movie
He's LIVING it
Can and will shush anyone else talking during the movie. He just wants the premium experience and he won't let those peons ruin it for him
Just like Kaim, he doesn't care. He doesn't have time for this.
ℕ𝕠𝕖𝕝
But Mikael requested he joins him to go see Barbie.
So obviously he will go see Barbie.
He will also wear pink accessories and undertones of his usual attire, just like Mikael
He finds the Kens annoying and overall thinks most of the characters are creepy
Like why are they always smiling ??
He ends up being invested and probably slapped/ shushed Ricardo at least 5 times in the frist 20 minutes of the movie
Please make this man shut up
Ends up getting lost in the bathroom and almost murders Lucas, but Mikael finds him before he does
Later on, Ricardo will drag him to go see Oppenheimer
He hates it. Not because of the plot but because Ricardo and his ''friends'' won't keep quiet for 5 minutes
He feels weird after the movie...Almost sad. It hit too close to home for his comfort. He usually doesn't mind bloos, he's an assassin afterall...But he didn't like the tight feeling in his chest during the dramatic scenes.
Almost murders Lucas in the bathroom again
But this time no one comes to find him
Ricardo forgot him at the movie theater
Noel is just standing there wondering what to do and spots Oswald,Kaim and Kurt from afar
He ends up watching Barbie a second time
He's pissy about being near them, especially Oswald, but he won't stop followi9ng them around either
He befriends Kurt
Mikael sends out a search party for him the next morning since he went to sleep to the demons' manor
Decides to tag along to go see Barbie
ℝ𝕚𝕔𝕒𝕣𝕕𝕠
He will wear pink undertones like Mikael and if anyone dares to make fun of it they get a gun to their temple
He almost gets kicked out of the movie theater
Will make fun of Mikael and Noel all long the movie even though he's just as into it as them
Probably that one guy that doesn't see why Ken is the antagonist and doesn't understand the hidden message of the movie
He still boos Ken every time he appears on screen for shit and giggles
And whistle Barbie
For shit and giggles
Lucia accidentally says ''HI KEN'' to him and he was traumatised by the very lewd answer Ricardo gave him in return
Throws popcorn at the screen
Overall, he guy no one wants to have in their room at the movie theater
After he goes to see Oppenheimer with some friends
He drags Noel along to make him ''man up''
Ah toxic masculinity at it's finest
He ends p forgetting him at the movie theater
He's having the time of his life and laugh at everyone tragic scene
He hates every single character
But ta the edn, he grows attached to them and is on the edge of his seat
He will find a way to get Mikael to agree with a bomb fro the army
And he will totally spoil both movies to everyone just to be an asshole
Probably goes to both of them.
𝕃𝕦𝕔𝕒𝕤
He has no friends, please go with him
He somehow guesses the ending of both movies
He still cries at the ending of both movies and has no one to comfort him because he went alone
He absolutely loved Barbie and it only reinforced his feminist mindeset
Oltea has that effect on people
He wears a full bright pink outfit and gets so many compliments for it when he goes to see Barbie
He probably befriends the person sitting next to him
When he goes to the bathroom and sees Noel, he's thrilled to see the other man also went to see Barbie!
He ends up with a knife to his throat
When he goes to see Oppenheimer, he just gets sad
Why can't everyone find peace ? Why must people resolve their conflicts with violence and cruelty ?
Just like Noel, it hits too close to home for his comfort and he almost has a mental breakdown
He gets comforted by a group of nice ladies and when he goes to the bathroom to freshen up he sees Noel
Another knife to the throat!
Ends up going to a nearby bar with the group of ladies that comforted him and he finally found some friends
He's apart of the girls' club now
Anyone who wants to argue with anything said, leave my page. This is so fucking important and it isn’t okay for men to treat such influential female figures such as Barbie and the movie or Taylor Swift as objects to drag down.
jo koy was fucking awful at the golden globes.
Barbie was a movie that celebrated girlhood and womanhood while also managing to acknowledge the difficulties of being a woman. the rant by America Ferrera’s character says it best - to be a woman is to be everything all at once and never be good enough. and jo koy saw this movie and decided “nah fuck this shit” and declared it a movie based on a “plastic doll with big boobs!” after emphasising the importance of Oppenheimer? that completely undermines the statement that Barbie put out there, the relatability it found with its female audience and the hard work of everyone involved. it ignores all of that, and it is disgusting to see this blatant misogyny, especially towards a movie that tackles that very topic.
the Taylor Swift joke was unnecessary. you cannot deny that Taylor Swift is an incredibly influential woman, and it is so annoying seeing her still being dragged down for a low joke. all she did was attend the awards ceremony and her love life was dragged up - not to coo or celebrate - but to laugh at. to make fun of her. it’s been a repeating theme of her career - being asked about love when in fact she is, on her own, more influential than any of the men she’s dated. but it’s never about her, it’s always about them, because men can’t comprehend that women can and will exist without them. Taylor Swift deserves better, she had the right to be at this awards ceremony without being dragged into this misogynistic shit.
so fuck you, jo koy. you never deserved such a high-profile platform and should never have one again.

In light of barbenheimer I’ve been thinking a lot about what people who genuinely enjoyed both would like, and this is at the top of the list
Going to a party where an art ho does ketamine with an ex-nfl player next to an autistic racist who won’t shut up about the moon landing is not fascism, it’s just a good party; and fiction that is insufficiently progressive is still fiction, and should be judged on literary merit—it’s not “blah blah blah fascist influence
