Barbenheimer - Page 2

Barbenheimer is an Internet phenomenon that began circulating ahead of the simultaneous theatrical release of two films diametrically opposed in genre, Barbie and Oppenheimer, on July 21, 2023, in the United States and Canada. The word is a portmanteau of the films' titles. The contrast between Barbie—a fantasy comedy directed by Greta Gerwig about the fashion doll Barbie—and Oppenheimer—a biographical thriller written and directed by Christopher Nolan about physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientific director of the Manhattan Project, which developed the first nuclear weapons during World War II—provoked a comedic response from Internet users. Polygon described the two films as "extreme opposites", and Variety called the phenomenon "the movie event of the year".
