Some fragile male egos in this thread. Looking forward to your complaints about the Barbie movie. Sad and pathetic.
I don't know what you're talking about. For me the fragile egos are way down the thread, all massively downvoted. The absolute majority is supportive.
People are addicted to rage.
A few arseholes on twitter saying negative things sets a chain reaction of rage to all those who are addicted to their own emotions.
The mature thing to do in all cases is to let it go.
It's also worth noting that the original comments could be aimed at the fact she is a model, and not because she is a woman.
#zoolander
But why male models?
Are you kidding? I just told you!
Not everybody's sorting by Top, friend. They're probably down there where you say they are though.
My comment on the Barbie movie ..Kens belt buckle looks like a liny Metallica logo...horses are rad and Alan is terrible.
He fits into all of Kens clothes!
Alan was literally MVP wtf
Why would anyone care about an hour-long toy commercial?
Because that's not what the movie is at all. It actually spends a fair amount of time mocking consumerism and hating on the negative impact barbie has had on women's self image and feminism. It's actually pretty crass with a lot of offcolor jokes. It's more targeted to adults who had Barbies as kids during on the 80s/90s.
I did the Barbenheimer double bill. The one that felt like a.commercial was the "YU ESS EH" nature of promoting American War interests.
I love this.
Oppenheimer forces the viewer to strongly consider the awful thing that was done those two days.
I'm as critical of the US as anyone I've met but your take is bizarrely ignorant to what they were trying to do. I feel like you'd have to be intentionally missing the point to come away thinking that movie was pro-america in any way.
I recognize that both movies (Barbie and Oppenheimer) have some self-depreciating self-criticism of their own meta-apparatus. Oppenheimer's story - if we keep the narrow focus to just JRO - is a story about a scientist who gains political power through the usefulness of his theories only to lose that political power due to political influences and return being "merely" a scientist with his own tropical getaway, publishing deals, tenure at a university, worldwide fame and recognition and a host of baubles and awards from across the globe, including the USA just 9 years later.
I think it does read pro-USA, especially to this foreigner who lives and works in the USA. It does not cover the political and medical implications of the New Mexico testing grounds, it does not cover the impact on Japanese civilians from the war (indeed the only victim we see is imaginary in Oppenheimer's mind). It's not a particularly interesting story, and its characters barely suffer (in comparison to the suffering they caused).
I'd argue that it's propaganda to make it seem like bombing civilian targets in Japan was necessary, worthwhile and agonized over by heroic people. Which you may believe is true, but doesn't stop the movie from being pro-USA. I'd even argue it's depiction of McCarthy-ism is self-serving as it seems to suggest, subjectively to me at least, that "look at how far we've come."
It sounds like you have a lot of biases and you did not or would not put them aside to try to view the movie objectively.
Sounds like you think Oppenheimer was a movie that essentially said "teehee- isn't it fun that the US killed thousands of people and that was bad?! wink [Blasts pop music at a dance party]"
Interesting, my take is that it was very careful to highlight the nuances surrounding what it means to race to have a WMD. At not one point did I think the film presented anything about this topic as easy to think about. The axis was cast in an extremely fair bad light, and those who sought to remove Oppenheimer's political power were never shown as justified. I hated every single one of them at every moment, because they were shown in the film to power hungry assholes with zero regard for limiting human suffering in the future. O was trying to limit that suffering.
How on earth did you fail to understand the basic arc of this story? The protagonist and antagonist could not have been more clearly defined.
The film also goes to some lengths to show the US in a bad light. Just by telling O's story -- and that he regretted the thing he had helped create -- it was a given that the US was not justified in dropping those bombs. That was not changed by having a couple of characters on screen justifying it -- that was just telling the story the way it fuckin happened. The only way to tell this as pro-USA would be to exclude the internal struggle O went through. The film literally was 95% about was that struggle.
We must not have watched the same movie. wtf
The box office records that were set kind of go against this VERY personal opinion which, included here, weakens your credibility. You went to see a movie you thought was about a boring topic and walked away thinking that still. How a person have think it's a boring topic, I've no idea, but that's you.
Sure, you could argue that the Japanese suffering was glossed over a bit, but on the other hand, Nolan treats his viewers like adults. He assumes that if you see this movie, you're aware of the historical significance of its story. I have seen the Japanese suffering covered elsewhere a dozen times so I didn't find it an alarming exclusion. The depth of suffering caused by an atomic blast is a 10 hour documentary series in and of itself, so it made sense to me that we could be trusted to already know what that is, to the extent anyone can know what it is who didn't experience it firsthand.
I'd argue that it treats you like an adult and lets you come to your own conclusion -- and the only humane one -- that murdering thousands of people in an instant is morally disgusting. The main takeaway from the film for me: politicians do fucked shit while scientists typically try to do the opposite. Nothing has changed about that, and it was an excellent and thought-provoking movie about that and possibly the most horrible/important invention in the history of humans.
Of course it's a toy commercial.
K.
It was a really fricken good movie, way to be closed minded and talk shit about something you didn't watch
They said the same thing about the LEGO movie and how wrong they were...
The LEGO Movie is a long advertisement, too.
The LEGO movie is a work of art... and yes, to some extent an advertisement of the brand.
Huh, not something I expected of a very capitalist Mattel.
Time is linear, this is an old image, you probably searched the app store today.
Maybe if you did two seconds of research, you'd know they aquired an iOS team in 2016 and have white label apps for clients. Obviously with the rest of her credentials she knows how to make an iOS app and publish it to the app store.
Your trying to discredit her just like the comments.
