    Have you seen Barbie @Nancy OShea ?

    Worth seeing?

    Some critics in the UK scorn it. Apparently, it is making a mockery of men! Men are just 'Ken'.

    Isn't it just a movie with no deep and meaningful message behind it? (And lots of pink.)

    Do people have to do psychoanalysis it, as one might have done when studying literature at school?

    I haven't seen it, but while it inserted the stupid political angle of a trans character, I applaud it because it's a step toward bringing people back to the theaters and the big screen. Tom Cruise is doing this too with his Maverick and the new Mission Impossible. We saw both on the big screen, and they were fantastic.

    I think having a trans character in Lightyear is a good thing because it can make being trans more normal and people might become more okay with it. But I also think the way they did it could have been better. Overall, it's nice that Lightyear is trying to include everyone, and I hope other movies will do the same.

    Barbie is smashing the box office, grossing over $300 million so far.

    Oppenheimer has grossed $120 million.

    Is it good to watch in cinema or OTT.

    Barbie is all about the visuals.  I intend to see it at the cinemaplex after it opens on July 21. I'm not sure streaming on a small screen will do it justice.

     

    Oppenheimer is another film I'm interesting in seeing.  It's going to be at our IMAX theatre on July 20.  But the running time of 3 hours— well, I don't know if I can sit in one place that long.
