Oppenheimer 2023. The year of the movie battle at the box office Barbie v Oppenheimer. "Beauty v brains" as one tabloid put it. The significance of this film is very important, a film about the scientist who invented the atomic bomb which changed mankind for ever and his subsequent Mcarthyist witch hunt in 50s America. Is it anygood? For me I couldnt keep gripped by it and to be fair a lot of the story washed over me. Oppy as is adoring students call him is a driven man who is womaniser with communist leanings, that is achilles heel. Apart from the excitement and build up to the detonation of the bomb Its boring, i can see why it got numerous oscar nominations being a worthy film especially as the doomsday clock is ticking towards its inevitable conclusion.
PS i have to assume that Barbie is fun because this wasnt a barrel of laughs.
