00:00 I probably won't get to see either of them, so I would prefer to see Barbie.
00:04 If only I liked the Barbie song.
00:05 I'm a Barbie girl and I'm a little bit...
00:08 And it looks fun kind of thing for old ladies.
00:10 But I'm not keen on it.
00:12 It's probably a very interesting film, but for somebody who invented the nuclear bomb,
00:17 you know, I don't...
00:18 It's not my cup of tea.
00:20 Thank you.
00:22 I'm super excited for Barbie because my girls love Barbie.
00:25 So we're going to check it out once we get back home to Canada.
00:29 I'm not. I'll check the Oppenheimer one.
00:31 I like the geezer from Peaky Blinders.
00:33 No.
00:34 No, he's in it, isn't he?
00:36 No.
00:37 Tom Shelby's in Oppenheimer. I'll watch that one.
00:39 That's not his name, but... Yeah.
00:41 I do know about the Oppenheimer film
00:43 and I'll wait for it to be on Freeview on telly to watch it.
00:48 You won't catch me paying for it at the cinema.
00:50 If I start with Barbie, I think...
00:52 I have no plans to go and see it.
00:54 It's not something that I think is very much on my radar.
00:58 I think what she's represented might have been misappropriated
01:01 over the media over the last however many 50, 60 or 70 years
01:05 that she's been knocking around.
01:07 But I have two small girls and I find whatever medium
01:13 or whatever kind of position she's in now and how she's held,
01:16 I don't find that useful.
01:20 She may have started out as a white feminist icon.
01:24 I don't relate to that, just from my own ethnic background.
01:27 My children are of a similar ethnic background to me,
01:29 although they're mixed ethnicity.
01:32 I don't think they'd be able to identify with her
01:34 and I just find it a little bit problematic.
01:35 So I'm not really interested in going to see that.
01:37 With Oppenheimer, I am a Christopher Nolan fan.
01:41 I think the actors in Oppenheimer are fantastic.
01:47 I'm fascinated at the story behind it.
01:48 Well, I'm hoping to see the Barbie movie with my friends from the choir
01:53 and I'm hoping to take my cousin to see Oppenheimer.
01:57 Not quite sure when, but soon, hopefully.
02:00 Not heard much about either of them,
02:01 but I'm open to whatever there is going.
02:05 I am interested in the film Oppenheimer,
02:08 the ethics of detonating the device.
02:10 I'd be interested to see how the film explores that,
02:13 the differences between what they did do and what they shouldn't have done.
02:18 Oppenheimer, I'd love to see.
02:22 I think it's going to give quite an insight into the bombings.
02:27 Barbie, I've no doubt I will be going.
02:30 My granddaughter will take me.
02:31 Barbie, been around since the '90s.
02:34 Quite a popular toy.
02:37 I'm glad I made the movie.
02:39 It seems entertaining, colourful, has a nice plot to it.
02:45 The second movie, it's a Nolan film, so it's got to be good.
02:49 I've seen The Dark Knight, Interstellar, great movies.
02:54 I trust Nolan Vart, he'll get it really top-notch.
02:59 Yeah, I'm just really looking forward to it
03:01 because I'm going to be planning to see it with my friend.
