Why Barbie Deserves The Hype

:_Kenergy:

Honestly the joke of Ken being upset the patriarchy isn’t about horses was one of the best jokes in the movie

I just watched it and it’s a rollercoaster of emotions, political view and hidden meanings not forgetting the laughs and the fact that Ryan gosling is literally me

I genuinely will never understand people who say they hated Barbie. I LOVED ITTTTT LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT WAS SO AMAZING AND LETS NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT THE COMEDYYYYYY. I never really laugh in movies but in the cinema I was at, everyone was giggling every two minutes. Loved it.

“Weird Barbie” is supposed to be Gymnastic Barbie, I think. She bent every way and was more fun to play with. This making her an outcast with regular Barbies.

I feel bad that many people are posting hatred towards this movie, I watched barbie movie in theatre and I can tell you that it was one of the best movie i have seen till yet in theatres. I loved the story and comedy and Ryan gosling acting was superb in the movie ,this movies tells us that both men and women are important part of society.

Bro you stride the line between serious and comedic really well. Good video

NGL It was funny that there was a "I'm not like other girls" character in the story, and she slowly begins to accept their femininity; I had a similar kind of journey like that growing up, and I like to dabble in my fem energy nowadays bec its fun. I don't hate the stereotype, I just like how fun it is if you want it to be. It felt nice to be represented in that way

I didn't think of this but it's worth quoting someone else who observed that both Barbie and Oppenheimer are about facing death. Yikes! Something that the majority of viewers of these two movies rarely do!

While watching the movie, it made me think of how the subtleties of the story telling and character develop pleasantly distracted me from the fact that I was actually in this movie. Im literally him.

7:48 "Unlike all the other Barbie movies, this one had subatance and layers..." So what we are NOT going to do is spread a narrative that the animated movies were not substantial in storytelling and execution, especially the older ones. The Barbie cinematic universe is one that took decades to build in the minds of girls and young women who grew up with it. I have watched this live action one and it is FANTASTIC, but the message that it teaches can also be found in the Fairytopia series and other movies. I understand everyone is excited about Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling's involvement in the movie and it's bringing in new fans of Barbie that little to no knowledge about her lore and storytelling, but discounting the predecessors of this movie, be it the more nuanced older films or the aesthetically-driven recent ones, is not something that should be done AT ALL. Great video, nonetheless

I think a lot of people hating this movie for Ken’s treatment by the Barbies. I don’t think any of those haters were ever little girls who actually played with Barbie and put Ken on a leash and tied him to a tree. Ken was always awkward and a little useless.

Watched it yesterday with friends and we freaking loved it. It's hilarious, it has a positive message and the audience stood up to clap a few times during the movie.

I went out of the cinema feeling hollow because this movie made me question everything. Like how Ken and Barbie question their existence, I questioned my sources if happiness in this life if these are forced upon me or does it really made me happy in the first place.

Disney will have to hire Greta for their live-action movies.

The movie was so insanely cohesive with everything from the dialogue, set design, music that moved with the story. I mean not to mention the call outs to 2001 A Space Odyssey and The Matrix there was so much thought put into it that it's hard to hate it because it's done so well that I don't think we've had a movie done quite like this in forever and yes it helps it's attached to a major IP.

TW: abuse, DV I was born in the US and the daughter of an immigrant family. I watched my mom support my abusive father and his treatment for years. I grew up hating the Barbie dolls he gave to me because I hated not measuring up and obligated to be playing with them just because I was born and forced to be an average girl. My mom worked tirelessly in a beauty salon to help pay the bills. When she finally had the money to buy out a salon, she was met with a lot of criticism from my dad and she also had a hard time speaking English so we were met with very many obstacles. Through consistency and determination my mother finally had enough money to leave my dad. When he couldn't hurt her he would hurt me and I would stand up for her whenever I could and he hated that. It wasn't until he left bruises on my face and back that I finally had enough evidence to not be forced to spend weekends with him. It was only until a few years ago but I picked up my Barbie's again and show them the love and care I could never openly give to myself. This movie had me in pieces and would put me back together again. Oppenheimer was also phenomenal and I can't believe I am alive and have the means and circumstances to have seen it on the 21st. Thank you to everyone who made these films possible and the people that show love for Barbie

-no spoilers -proceeds to explain every single plot twist

THANK YOU for this elaborate explanation from someone who seems to actually understand the movie and actually watched the ending lol

I saw the movie Thursday night - a day before was officially released. The whole audience and including myself and husband dressed up. It was sold out. People were cheering , laughing and clapping in scenes. Honestly it was so much fun and Absolutely hilarious. I think the creativity was off the charts for the set. I love Margot and Ryan playing Barbie and Ken. The scenes in Santa Monica and Venice beach were done very well. I give it all 5 stars. I think Barbie and Ken should always stay together though. The outcome of the movie was finding out that you can be and become anything. Loved it! Great vid analysis btw. Subscribed!!
