BARBENHEIMER is More Than a Meme

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. 🎞️
