Oppenheimer + Barbie = Best movie weekend of 2023. Just keep banging!

Today, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling plus funny Will Farrell came into my world. All three actor/actresses are in the 'Barbie' movie, which is a Warner Brothers distributed movie. The movie is a comedy, and the main characters are Ken and Barbie. There is Ryan Gosling as Ken; Simu Liu as Tourist Ken; John Cena as Kenmaid; plus Micheal Cera as Allan. Will Farrell is the CEO of Mattel, and Rhea Perlman is the spirit of Ruth Handler, the co-founder of Mattel. Kate McKinnon is weird Barbie; Dua Lipa is Mermaid Barbies; and Issa Rae is President Barbie. In addition, America Ferrera is playing the role of Gloria. Gloria is a Mattel employee, and her job is to help Barbie in the real world. Emma Mackey is physicist Barbie; plus Alexandra Shipp plays writer Barbie; and Ritu Arya is journalist barbie. There is the Barbie Dream House, where Barbie wakes up. Ken is living in Kendom eventually, as the men rule the world. It was hard to understand the true meaning of Barbie, and the music is good. In contrast, the Christoper Nolan directed 'Oppenheimer' is very thrilling compared to the Greta Gerwig directed 'Barbie' movie. Greenleaf Ripley saw this movie on July 21. The Universal pictures movie is an incredible mix of physics; romance; geography; love; and atomic energy. The movie is a biopic of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the Atomic bomb. World War II ended in 1945, as the US forces dropped the A-bomb in Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Robert Downey Jr. appears as Lewis Strauss, an adversary of Cillian Murphy who plays the title character. Next, Matt Damon plays Leslie Groves who oversees the construction of the Pentagon. Lieutant General Groves serves as director of the Manhattan Project and he appoints J. Robert Oppenheimer to be one of the cheif scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Other cameo appearances are made by Rami Malek, Josh Hartnett, Jason Clarke, and Academy Award winner Kenneth Brannagh. Florence Pugh and Emily Blunt appear as the two love interests of Oppenheimer, throughout his life. Oppenheimer depicts three main parts of the scientist's life plus how he can handle the quintessential layers of life; to evolve into the Medal for Merit winner in 1946. In closing, both movies were the winners of the best summer moviegoing weekend in 2023. Barbie was the #1 movie as it grossed over $350 million on an international level. Oppenheimer was the #2 movie, as it grossed over $180 million globally. Oppenheimer has a running time of 180 minutes, while Barbie has a running time of 105 minutes. Both movies are quite different, and Greenleaf Ripley thinks 'Oppenheimer' is the best movie of 2023.
