Oppenheimer and Barbie are great examples of how (not) to tell a story. But what really intrigued me was how it parallels the world of scientific discourse. In my opinion, contrary to what I expected, Barbie makes for a better scientist.
I grew up around physicists and the story of Oppenheimer intrigued me. I didn’t expect anything special, just a good movie with a chance of being great. I was disappointed. The storytelling in Oppenheimer is so bad that it undermines the whole movie.
