Woman named Barbie Oppenheimer reveals struggles after film release

One of the great phenomena of 2023, the simultaneous release of Barbie It is Oppenheimer in theaters generated worldwide commotion and took millions of people to the cinemas. However, one woman found herself in the midst of some difficulties during this period, and all because of her name: Barbara “Barbie” Oppenheimer.

Grandmother of five grandchildren, she is a retired teacher at boston university and lives in Newton, Massachusetts. During an interview with slateBarbara commented on how many people did not believe her when she said the name out loud.

In the conversation, the lady recalled a very specific moment of the vacation she recently took. “When I checked into the hotel, I said, ‘Barbie Oppenheimer!’ The guy replied, ‘Are you kidding me?'” she stated.

Right away, Oppenheimer explained how “I had college friends all over the world texting me that weekend when [os filmes] were dropped, with all that talk, you know… ‘the bomb and the grenade.'” She also spoke about this confusion that the name generated.

It’s very funny! It was brilliant that they released [os filmes] together. It really brought people back to theaters.

Clear, Oppenheimer is a rather unusual surname, and Barbara got it from her husband, a distant relative of J. Robert Oppenheimerphysicist responsible for leading the US atomic bomb project during Second World War.

The husband’s father Barbie Oppenheimer is a third cousin of the father of the atomic bomb. She even talked about the movie Oppenheimer, which he watched “on opening weekend” because “they really wanted to see how they handled his story.” According to the couple, the director Christopher Nolan did “a good job” of paying homage to the physique.

“Watching him deal with these issues and the politicization of it… I thought some of the most interesting scenes were about patriotism in Los Alamos, as the crew felt at the time,” he said of the feature. “He was a hero to many, but he was also the target of a lot of anger. I mean, I was always told in my husband’s family that whether you claimed him as a relative or not really depended on how you felt about things.”

Finally, she also talked about the movie Barbiewho attended two weeks after Oppenheimer. The lady commented on how she and her husband “laughed out loud” during the screening of the film. However, she couldn’t choose which film she liked best, but was “happy to see both.”

I’m going next week [assistir Barbie e Oppenheimer no mesmo dia] with a group of women and we’ll all wear pink. I will wear my T-shirt Barbenheimer.
