BARBIE Movie Review & Ending Explained

I review, breakdown and explain the 2023 Barbie movie. I discuss the Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling characters, Barbie and Ken, react to the story, the cast and characters such as Dua Lipa, Will Ferrell, Emma Mackey, Simu Liu, Michael Cera, Ncuti Gatwa along with many others. I also answer if the movie was actually good, the movies ending, if it was woke, if it was trash and also the Barbenheimer meme.

Which are you going to watch first? Barbie or Oppenheimer? Comment your order below!

[pbandjamey]

the fact that barbie never has an ending (as discussed with barbie and the creator) so that’s why it had many set ups for endings

[originaozz]

I was smiling for the whole first 10 minutes of Barbie. It reminded me the joy of playing Barbie as a kid. This was the unexpected winner of Barbenheimer for me.

Men have to slowly raise the ranks in barbie land just like women in the real world had to slowly raise the ranks to even vote. It's just a flipping of the tables. I think the movie was a beautiful take on sexism, and it ended up showing that even Barbie land was dysfunctional as both matriarchy and Patriarchy. You see the differences women versus men face in modern day society (( barbie gets cat called, and Ken feels like the world is at his finger tips). The purpose of the movie was to show how badly it is for only one gender to be in power, and that being human is ultimately hard... So everyone should see their self worth. I loved it, despite what some may see it as....I do wish they could make it feel less like feminist revenge, and uplift both genders without demeaning men as a whole ((even though it was subtle). It could have been handled more gracefully, but the point of the movie is to be comedic so I don't judge it too harshly.

A lot of parents and kids were probably not aware of what this movie was going to be like. I think the advertisement work was great for this and got a lot of ppl in.

[MommyHelpU]

Ok, so the ending is actually about Barbie, symbolically being the child that she was played with, growing up because she no longer wants to be a Barbie. The point continues to be missed.

I didn’t like it, but I loved the set design, costumes, and Barbie and Ken’s dance numbers

[znnko]

People misunderstand the underlying messages in the movie. I have seen so many people talk about how the movie portrayed ken as q villian and how the kens deserved to have a higher status in barbieland, but that is just ignorant. The movie literally is playing a mind game with us and people are too dumb to realise. Ken s status in barbieland is literally a women s status in the real world, the movie even states it multiple times.

"Barbie: We're Doing Patriarchy Quite Well -- Just Hiding It Better"

[diicksonxx]

I'm still thinking about the ending of barbie idk why but I felt very impacted by its underlying message. To me, the elderly woman symbolized the entity responsible for creating humanity, which some might interpret as God. It's a common belief that our fate is predetermined from birth, leaving us to question if we're following the intended path or straying from it.
However, it's important to remember that you are the protagonist of your own story and have the power to make your own choices. You were created for yourself, and therefore, you are allowed to choose your own destiny. In essence, you are the Barbie in your own life!

The message was supposed to be about finding compromise and balance between men and women, yet it does the complete opposite! By using modern feminism, it shows men as stupid, irrelevant, funny at best, weak boys. Ken is basically antagonised when he discovers his masculine side, which is shown as destructive and evil. Not to mention the fireplaces scene, which is basically a message to men that they'll always be played with, and that there is no such thing as an honest relationship. As a woman, this scene left me with bitterness. It completely shatters the image of a relationship between man and woman. That basically empowers women by saying "Yess you can sleep with everyone and deceive all men! You were played with? Now YOU get to do the same! You're so strong, wow!" Of course, there were some touching scenes that showed the hardships of women, but overall it's just going from one extreme to another.
There really was a potential to integrate both sides. When Ken and Barbie come to the real world, it could be shown as both sides understanding what it's like to be in other person's boots and how both of the worlds in some way neglect one side, and try to find the common ground. Can't we just respect one another, goddammit?
Also, the funny thing is how Mattel changes it's campaign to current trends and social media.
Overall, the acting, scenography and visual effects were truly amazing. However, the message that it brings only divides men and women further apart.

[SharonVeeLee]

I thought it was too politically heavy handed. It was literally MEN BAD WOMEN GOOD. Margot Robbie did great but the script and the message was awful.

[lrhwdqt]

For me as a man, I think the main idea isn't how empowerment of woman could destroy patriarch... but rather put the weight on the later conversation between Ruth and Barbie.. hear Ruth struggle with IRS and everything in the real world show us that : I woman have dream, they should be ready for the real struggle, not merely just oral idea of emancipation. Both man and woman are in the same path to reach their dream

[keiichicute]

The movie's core message is wonderful, but I felt the execution was too heavy-handed. I'm not sure if it's because English is not my first language and that I saw it without subs, but the parts where they had to break the Barbies' trance felt a tad too preachy and dragged on too long. I wish these were depicted differently instead of through dialogues, or written in a more accessible way for kids without hearing "patriarchy" every other minute. Kinda like the scene when Barbie & Ken first skated into the real world. That was a better execution and was more show than tell.

I truly appreciate that this movie was made, but I wish it had a more Lego Movie-ish way of handling important messaging without needing a veritable sledgehammer.

[MichaelAndersson-aaaaa]

Saw Barbie today. Needed something to cheer me up. 🌸😄
Now I am prepared to see Oppenheimer.

[Makoto]

I just got turned off from seeing the movie the more i learned about it.
I was hoping for a fun meta update to a classic, like the 90s Brady Bunch movie. Or a funny fish out of water tale like Disney's 'Enchanted'.
But instead it just seems preachy and mean spirited. Also them unironically having Barbie deny Ken equal rights and expecting us to people to applaud that is gross.

[roh]

This movie is perfect for spotting dudes stuck in the manosphere. You are one of the few who didn't get offended and enjoyed it for what it is. A fun, camp movie with a social commentary.

[JacobStein]

As far as I can tell, Barbie is a complicated and apparently contradictory movie. However the majority of adults who have watched it seem to come away believing that the movie teaches us this: Women are beautiful and perfect. Men are useless at best, dangerous at worst. And apparently there is a large demographic who really like this message. It's a bit reminiscent of a political philosophy, the name escapes me at the moment, which was very popular in Germany in the 1930's: Germans are beautiful and perfect. Non-Germans are useless at best, dangerous at worst.
"The past is never dead. It's not even past."

[hilo]

I loved everything about the movie EXCEPT the message lol. Women shouldn't have to find our strength by emasculating/ having 'weaker' complacent men (that's how it came across to me.) I can see it as a commentary of the reverse but hmmm I wasn't really interested in hearing all that so that's on me. Mattel had an opportunity to make their male 'Ken' dolls more favorable as well to even young boys. I think for me if they found a way to incorporate the Kens to being of use and not weak for the sake of their strength I would have liked it more. It came across like being on the kindergarten playground and saying boys have kooties...

[Thechickinaaronscar]

Anyone who expected this movie not to be woke are crazy Lol.
