The only thing left to decide is: Barbie first, or Oppenheimer?
’s biopic of the man known as the father of the atomic bomb would be landing in cinemas on the same day, a new phenomenon was born: Barbenheimer.
It’s something about the two movies’ vastly different subject matter that makes them such an irresistible pair. A three-hour long exploration of the moral implications of war, and the weight of creating a weapon with the power to destroy worlds, followed by a surreal journey into Barbie Land, with a side order of existential angst? Sure, why not. It’s tonally jarring, in the best possible way.Naturally, the internet’s response has been by turns hilarious, seriously creative and deeply chaotic.
To get you in the right frame of mind for the cinematic event of the year, these are some of our favourite Barbenheimer memes… It’s not the first time that a moody Christopher Nolan movie has dropped on the same day as an equally star-studded but rather more upbeat crowd pleaser.
