Part of it seems to be about rejecting an imagined film bro archetype who forces you to watch weird movies in an aggressive way, which has spiraled into viewing an engagement with any movie beyond simple enjoyment or hate as evidence of being a misogynist or something.
I think when you stop doing the actual projects you care about for years at a time you start forgetting why you wanted to make films in the first place.
One thing about the Oppenheimer stuff that is interesting to me is that a lot of anger people feel toward it seems to be because it might be the first time they’ve watched a political film that is not centered in talking about identity.
