New Delhi: A cinematic frenzy and audience awe have been sparked by the clash between the blockbuster films 'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer'. In terms of theme and tone, the films directed by Greta Gerwig and Christopher Nolan are completely opposite. Despite this, viewers seem pleased with both films for various reasons. The films are receiving a lot of overwhelmingly great reviews.
'Barbie', a film by Greta Gerwig that also includes America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell, stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken. The fantasy-comedy explores the difference between the Barbie and Ken dolls' fantasy world, which is geared towards women, and the real-world, nuanced realities. Barbie has gloomy ideas about dying, which causes her flawless pink world of fashion to come crumbling down in the movie.
Meanwhile, Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' is an adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel American Prometheus by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin, which is based on the life of nuclear physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, widely known as the 'Father of the Nuclear Bomb'. In the massive biopic, actor Cillian Murphy is portraying the role of J. Robert Oppenheimer. Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Jack Quaid, Benny Safdie, and Rami Malek are all featured in the movie.
