Summer hashtag. Some are confused, they thought they saw each other. no Comments can also be posted in tandem. Here’s what I did. Later, like others, for objective reasons. And I also felt the need to watch Nolan’s film at least twice. Three full hours. It is forced to say that you “grabbed” everything from the first time. I, for example, do not have this claim. Even before the releases, there were signs of a more unusual advertising campaign. At least. I graduated from film distribution, the school of an international advertising agency and I know what to eat. In addition, I also ate films on bread, being the winners of cinematographic competitions even from childhood. Later I organized one too. About the movies Barbie and Oppenheimer.

GREAT release campaign

For Europeans, the concept of a campaign is somewhat vague. I do not go into mental, cultural complexities, this is reality. And what sounded from across the ocean seemed neutral, perhaps uninteresting. News such as global stocks of pink paint having wide gaps due to demand for the production of the movie BARBIE may have been inappropriate. Hello! No one stayed to check. BUT! All the little girls panicked. Will there be more paint for our dresses, our bows? Painters, car painters, and seamstresses all rolled their eyes and pricked up their ears. Then the releases themselves, announced on the same day. Intriguing and unusual. They knew there would be a backlash. The entire MEME-ist flower of the Internet was unleashed. Wild. Hysterical. Tornadoes, typhoons… Instantly, for those who live on social media, it became trendy, trendy, cool, and if you weren’t IN, you didn’t exist. Almost everyone who is related to performing arts joined the choir. In a short time, the #Barbenheimer campaign began to feed like a perpetual motion machine. Let it be accepted! And something else, the messages of the films, only in this context they are confirmed.

No one really cared about the success of BARBIE

However, Nolan delivers a strong blow. In a short period of time after its release, the film became the 4th highest grosser in his portfolio. But I also don’t like INCEPTION (top 3). On the other hand, in terms of audience activation, I would have expected Nolan to have received more in Europe. Okay, so it’s clear that percentage-wise it’s better in the foreign market, but not as much as I would have guessed. Wrong, I see. For example, in our country, I would have thought that Oppenheimer would break up with BARBIE, but this is not the case. Everyone knows the explanation. Small surprises in Bulgaria, draw and Turkey! Oppi is way ahead. It is not yet time to analyze, the numbers are constantly changing. News, behind-the-scenes films have now begun to be removed from the campaign arsenal. And we have more. I imagine what kind of history merchandising will write. A few thoughts on two movies you should see, I’m not saying right now, they’ll still make it to TV or streaming. But at least then.

Doctor Atomnik. Manhattan, TV series. Oppenheimer is that you?

Controversies surrounding the “father of the atomic bomb” will not disappear with the release of the film. There is such a fascination with getting into the minds of geniuses like BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, hence the appetite for biopics. In any case, there are two drawbacks to this genre. Historical reality is difficult to reflect factually. Human nature has everything but objectivity. But the act of creation is nourished by it. After the film “DUNKIRK” this is Nolan’s second such film. Biographical history. So far, his concerns have been focused on psycho-paranormal phenomena and science fiction. In a word, science. Films bring to the surface painstaking work with actors. And I really like it. After all, the shooting angles, scenography, costumes, script, two bucks do not bring if the performers are elsewhere. Reciprocity is also valid. There are many cases where weak direction has been saved by great interpretations. The imprint of any film is the image. Hoyte van Hoytema, cinematographer, Dutch (Dutch angle) Swede, born in Switzerland. He has been working with Nolan for some time, but he also has other famous directors in his portfolio. But what I wanted to say, apart from the angles, the color brings a lot to the Dutch school of painting.

Nolan and Hoytama transport us into Robert’s mind,

using “offensive” close-ups, which are now a favorite for quality and expressiveness, as well as technology, both on film and digital. From 35mm to 65mm, hundreds to thousands of fps, and more. It doesn’t even contain special effects. Also, the IMAX version was created with a purpose. I didn’t understand, but I advised to look like this. Probably, the audience’s reaction to the Trinity test would be filmed. Then the alternation of black and white and color are very special and effective, they are not used as usual, only as flashbacks, but for introspection, analysis, illustration of reactions, feelings. And I also suspect that in IMAX, the experience would be highly immersive, I think that’s what they’re saying. Sensation can be cheated, by default, sitting in the first rows. That’s why I decided to see him like that too. Now what does Nolan want, besides a biopic. And everyone sees as much as they know, equal to the amount of already available baggage. Because he in no way forces our hand, please eye, to tell us what to think/feel. However, for a more immersive viewing, you should first watch the mini-series (2) MANHATTAN about the project that created the atomic bomb. There is room for more knowledge, getting into the atmosphere, a holistic approach, you can learn more about history. Next, I would add, also DOCTOR ATOMIC (2005) by John Adams, libretto by Peter Sellars, based on letters, documents, intensive archival research, personal effects.

What is this madness, a serious man would ask?

How to watch or listen to an opera to watch a movie? It is not necessary, but this way the picture will be complete. And opposite the soundtrack, signed by Ludwig Geransson. In the production I saw, Oppenheimer is masterfully played by bass-baritone Gerald Finley. In opera, not only in the frame, the main role is played by the type of voice. But I also make libretto recommendations. Because there are similarities with Nolan’s script. At the same time, it significantly expands the view of the main character’s personality. Naturally, they do not have the same theme. But both the opera and the film explore personalities, struggles, well, more than that, they throw them into our arms. what would you do The analysis can be extended more widely to the level of scores, especially since they belong to the same genre, symphonic. Commercially, in Göransson’s case, it is naturally addressed to a much wider audience. In my opinion, the soundtrack to the film was a little off. Beautiful, but without substance, only illustrative. It’s not my taste. Trivial homework attempts and suggestions. A violin that somehow needs an alter ego. A little, too little. Better in another movie. At the acting department, I am subjective. Cillian Murphy (I believe Sharp Eyes fans were the first viewers) is one of my favorite actors who I think is very underrated. Both for nominations/Oscars and for rental.

Character building is incredibly detailed. Shoelace

From the gradation of the dark baritone voice, even with bass inflections, to the ocular interpretation (eyes speak) of thoughts and mysterious movement reminiscent of Bogart. I think it was very difficult for him to build a role. There is this closeness of the camera, he and I, rather, on the other side, the audience expects to see a cold, dehumanized guy, if not, crazy. Well, none of that. No, what can I say, it’s a sensation. Surgical. I haven’t read the book on which the screenplay was based, American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer, but the success of the collection may have answers right there. Attention, other interpretations are just as exceptional. A real race. I remembered from the beginning. Although the world is devoid of objects, images, science, etc., paradoxically, Nolan’s films are made by actors. We need to elaborate, but not now. I would be interested to see how he would stage the opera. #Barbatrix #Barbease #BarbieSTF……#Barbrauss #Barbanderson (Matrix, Grease, Saturday Night Fever…. Strauss R., Wes Anderson) Greta Gerwig had a tough but easy mission! Starting, I think, with John Irving’s saying, “Life is serious, art is fun!”, she had to make a film for adults, but with resources for children. Keep your appearance, don’t make him a fool, neither a doctor, nor a fool, and with a visual identity. In his previous films, LADY BIRD AND LITTLE WOMEN, he showed us that he has it with the verb, with the image, and with framing, sets and costumes. Not in the sense that she does them all, but it’s clear that she knows who to choose according to what she needs. It happened here as well. He builds his own script based on sarcasm and self-irony, simple action pre-existing as a message, a mixture of BIG, RITCHIE RICH, TOYS, add what you want. There is a whole story behind it. Maybe it would be harder for her to find something if we called her to make a movie like this about and with Arădeanca dolls. But to the Americans.

Brands are national property. No obstacles, easy task.

Even the production company Mattel financed the production. Here, Arădeanca, I don’t even know if it still exists, forgive me. RIP Because they didn’t invent the movie, but they did invent the movie industry, so what does Greta do? He sprinkles the entire film with references to the Hollywood film canon. It’s a long list, almost every frame has an original source. The soundtrack is another canon. From also Sprach Zarathustra-R. Strauss (Kubrick – 2001: A Space Odyssey) to Cyndi Lauper, disco-glam or Billie Eilish, from a modern symphony to a musical. Visually, the set is designed from the Barbie and Ken toy universe with a Wes Anderson-esque pink chromatic concept running through The Matrix in the real world. By the way, tablets were replaced by a stiletto and sanda. Finally, there are many of them. The costumes are a big deal again, including Ken’s muscles – the squares – in the endowment. And in addition to American stereotypes or clothing that became an emblem, one could not help but mention the pink dress, a creation of Givenchy, worn by Audrey Hepburn in “BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY”. But what seemed most successful to me was that out of all the chatter, deliberately exaggerated, the messages of ideas were not complex, they could be chewed.

But let’s not forget, America is a place where dreams come first

First a dream, and you will find a way. Dream big dreams! And, yes, the topics of the day rotate. And there is no need to philosophize about them. They have their purpose. Not everyone understands the same language. Not everyone sees the same thing. If you accept this, you will have access to more communication channels. Eternal household, ideological, political problems also received their strict references, such as “STEFORD WIVES” or “THE BOMB”. Perhaps the consensus is broken here! Let’s start with the premise that we all have the same sense of humor, or at least the same condition. This will never be true. And last but not least, Margot Robbie. She is brilliant. His transitions are phenomenal. It has caught my attention since the movie about time came out. I thought, “I hope she doesn’t stand in line just because she’s pretty, and especially because she’s not going to be in some blockbuster movie, which is good for the pocket, but you might have recognition problems later.” That’s right, it wasn’t about Jennifer Lawrence. I can blame some loss of pacing, parts where the film languishes, but that’s about it. Let’s not drag out the story, it’s two hours of gorgeous entertainment, cool acting, including eye treatment with colored drops.
