Today I am reviewing the "Barbie" movie. Is it an ingenious take on the ailments of the real world or a predictable contrived woke disaster?

My issue is Greta made this movie with a disingenuous idea that women have absolutely no power in the real world and that Mattel is run completely by men with no female board members (not counting 1 secret character). When in reality, half of Mattel's board members are female and the longest running CEO was female

I hate movies that have to put down others, whether it’s acting like men are superior or women are superior, it’s toxic and unnecessary

[abovewater]

They really should have ended the movie with both the Barbies and Kens realizing absolute power of either gender is bad, and they should be equal citizens. But it basically ended with Kens still being second class citizens (but now have a very tiny slice of power). But it is a Barbie movie, I understand. I just think they shouldn't have had Kens at all instead of making all the men look like complete idiots

I think the biggest problem is victim-mentality. For some reason there's a literal race in "who's being more oppressed?" and i find it sickening. It's like people nowadays take pride in their (apparent) oppression and not in their freedom

[AConcernedMother]

I think alot of parents just saw barbie and colorful imagery and didn't even check the rating they just assumed. A woman where I am walked out with her kids and got really mad about it not being for kids. She acknowledged that she should have checked the rating as well. This is an ongoing issue. Movies are being made that would only be for children when we were kids, and now they are mostly for adults. That why I am on it all the time, even if the rating is appropriate, I will often watch things first.

Not just anti-men, it is anti-intelligence

I dont get how ppl can think it isnt a feminist movie

[joyfulosity]

The marketing was regrettably the most amazing marketing job I think I have ever seen. It is likely why so many parents are taking their kids to see the movie. They marketed it as being a movie for all ages. The trailers never really even showed the rating of the movie anywhere. It’s like a classic bait and switch, but dressed up in pretty colors.

Considering the director is an outspoken feminist, I'd say this is woke crap and not some kind of genius satire.

My mom and siblings went to see the movie yesterday. At some point, two girls around my age (early 20s) were full on sobbing about the speech on feminism. Pretty much everyone at the screening were annoyed at how loud they were being and they concerned the elderly ticket taker on the way out. Apparently they cried all the way to their car in parking lot lol

I actually interpreted the barbie movie as a subtle critique on woke culture. Woke people don't notice this, so they like the movie, but if you look deeper, it's about how wokeness is just as oppressive and contradictory as patriarchy. I thought it showed that if the woke world keeps going this way, it will become "reverse" oppression like with the kens, covering the truth with pink and smiles when in reality it is messed up. The movie also acknowledged binary gender differences instead of being filled with a bunch of made up genders. They casted thin, attractive white people without demonizing them or "calling out their privilege." The theme is that for a just world, we have to make room for everyone. Both the extreme right and extreme left create hierarchies and oppression, so we have to meet in the middle, like how the barbie movie began to integrate kens into the government and roles of power.

I think misha is the only youtuber i know that goes on camera with no makeup at all and looks completely flawless

[sebswede]

If you look at it from a male perspective; Ken is the protagonist and Barbie is the antagonist.

[Obamnaz]

As a conservative guy, I give it a 4/10. The worst part was portraying men as idiots. As if your car, your phone, the electricity you use, the roads you drive on, etc, weren’t invented or maintained by men

[CitizenRobertK]

Can't we just be entertained anymore? It's exhausting to be lectured to on every medium. I find that I am re-watching old TV shows and movies to escape.

I saw both Oppenheimer and Barbie. One movie was fantastic and the other has Ryan Goseling in it. “I’m just Ken” was the only unironically good part of the movie.

Hard to imagine you sitting through this movie without dying inside

[鬰林]

There already is a modern take on Snow White.
Mirror Mirror.
Not a masterpiece, but I can already predict it is going to be 100 times better than whatever the fuck is coming.

As for Barbie, whenever I see my cousin play house, Ken is either the big bad villain, or the kissing partner for Barbie.
The fact that they went out of their way to give Ken a character arc, and imply "hey, maybe extreme feminism is a bad idea"
is a God damn miracle.

It just feels like a massive slap in the face as a long term Barbie fan, loved it as a kid, watched all the movies, I have most of them on DVD now as an adult (which to some is probably weird lmao they’re nostalgic for me so) so of course I was excited to see this movie as you can imagine, especially since they didn’t show any of the woke stuff in the trailer, it just looked like a fun movie. And seeing all the controversies around it I wanted to believe people were just blowing things out of proportion and maybe it wasn’t actually THAT bad… no it WAS that bad. The narrator of the movie especially just irritated me to no end, only one of the narrators lines I laughed at was when she was talking about how no one uses the stairs when playing with their barbie. This movie could have been so much better and I wanted it to be, I wanted it to have the same magical feeling the cartoon movies did. It’s insulting honestly…

"Legally Blonde" is still the best Barbie film. Change my mind 🍺
