Barbie Is Not A Masterpiece
But, If Michael Bay Can Get Paid Why Shouldn't Greta?

Oppenheimer Is A Masterpiece
Beautiful but long masterwork teaming with career best from those on screen and off. The story of scientific ambition at odds with realpolitik deserves praise in almost every major category. The masterpiece gets in its' own way, heightening personal dramas that pale in comparison to theo-philisophical implications of nuclear war.

Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

I agree! Not a masterpiece...but lots of good stuff.
