Finding My Inner Ken

Me and the missus did the whole Barbenheimer thing, last weekend.

I’m not going to write a review here, but needless to say, Nolan’s Oppenheimer is a masterpiece.  For me, it could have spent more time looking at the work of the Manhatten Project: their triumphs and their setbacks, before showing what we all know to be their ultimate achievement.  I was more interested in the science and the scientists than the politics which take up much of the film.

But that’s just me.

And Barbie? Well, a very different kettle of fish, but – much to my surprise – quite kenjoyable nonetheless.  And it was fun to see Mattel not take themselves too seriously.

If you only get to see one film this year… make it one of these.

  1. Kenjoyable? I see what you did there. Re Oppenheimer, there’s been some chatter on the socials about a few continuity blips. I picked up one in an advert. But I shall still sit down and watch the thing and probably enjoy it. Though I too would enjoy the scientits (I’m leaving that typo in there) more than the politics.

    • A lot of bio-pics tend to have liberties taken with their timelines and a bit of artistic licence added, in order to make the film more acceptable to the viewer. Generally, no-one notices… apart from the nerds.
