[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I loved the movie I agrees the message was a bit heavy handed in places. But I interpreted that as necessary. Yes, some (most?) of the audience would understand a more subtle message. But not everyone would have Gerwig knew this movie would get picked apart. She wasn’t leaving room for error or misinterpretation about the intent. I am ok with that. There were still a lot of more subtle messages built in as well (Barbie and Ken’s relationship) [/quote]

Fwiw, no one has said that Oppenheimer/Nolan talked down to or was condescending to the audience.

I haven't seen either movie yet (when school starts, DH and I will see both of them in the theater).  People have had a lot of reactions to both movies, but only one was considered heavy handed.  [/quote]

Only one of them was heavy-handed and only one of them lectured the audience. Oppenheimer presumed its audience had more than one brain cell. Barbie didn’t. [/quote]

Well look at who Barbie is appealing to. Barbie appeals to certain types.[/quote]

It seems to appeal to lots of types? Malala - you know who that is, right? - went with her husband and posed in one of the cutouts. I went with my husband and teenage son and we all loved it. The theater was full of women, men, and kids of all ages, most of them in pink (the guys too), and they all seemed to like it. This weekend it will probably cross the $1 billion box office mark.

Seems like it appeals to a pretty broad cross-section of people :)[/quote]
