Now you see, the real genius of this movie is how the oppressively pink color scheme shows how gender roles work in this world... See, I can do it too, Ken. You're not special. What really blows my mind about this movie is that it seems very likely that in a few years it's going to be very hard to remember how dead and ridiculed the Barbie brand name was before it came out, on the same level as Robert Downey Jr.'s career right before Iron Man. And now we're at the point where every single cool female character comes with a massive demand to have a Barbie of them (and a Furiosa one would be pretty cool, not gonna lie). As weird as it feels to say about an actor with such an astoundingly diverse portfolio, this really does seem to be the role Margot Robbie was born to play; just look at how she actually manages to make normal walking look so convincingly uncomfortable and painful. America Ferrara is right there with her, not only in her famous speech about the impossible standards placed on women, but smaller scenes of trying to connect with her daughter and squeeing over life-sized versions of all her old toys. Makes it even more amusing that just a few months later, she was playing a right wing nut in Dumb Money. And Ariana Greenblatt gets her turn at the always thrilling moment when someone who built their name as younger versions of established characters gets to step into the spotlight with their own original character, even if it does kind of feel like a whole subplot got dropped to explain her switch from Regina George knockoff to fully onboard with saving Barbieland. And what more needs to be said about the genius of Kate McKinnon, even with how distracted I could get remembering her and Margot Robbie in bed together in Bombshell. Oh, and I guess that Ryan Gosling guy does pretty decent too (side note, I've always had an affinity for him because his version of The Mickey Mouse Club started when I was 5 years old, and was the first time I'd ever seen someone else with my name). Remember how Star Trek 5 was ruined by the studio forcing in a bunch of broad comedy at the expense of what was supposed to be a deep, meaningful story? Well, this movie is like seeing that happen on purpose, and it actually working. It's like Christopher Nolan made a direct sequel to Batman and Robin and it made sense. As a cis male I can't speak to any personal experience, but watching the multitudes of women saying they felt like the movie understood them on a level they never felt before was profoundly moving, and no one could have predicted it would come out of an IP that even gets mocked within the movie itself for being so shallow until now. And just look at how WB went to the trouble of translating the whole script into sign language on HBO Max, because it's just that clear how this needs to be seen by as many people as possible. Greta Gerwig's three movies are on one level totally different from each other but also still feel like they're approaching the same thing, and I eagerly look forward to where she can go after this massive success (Narnia, apparently, so that'll be something worth seeing just for how it sets itself apart from the existing movies).

Yeah, there was that period where Barbie was just a punchline. Good comparison to Robert Downey Jr’s career pre-Marvel and Tropic Thunder. For that one, I point to his being in the Tim Allen Shaggy Dog to highlight how low things got for him, career-wise. I was mostly curious what they were going to do with a Barbie movie when I first heard about it. And when the strong word of mouth started, I really became curious. I missed it in theaters due to prioritizing Indiana Jones. And I prioritized Oppenheimer, though I missed that in theaters too, because my brother and I couldn’t work out a time to see it on Imax, though I don’t think there’s any Imax within reasonable driving distance, or at least not one that could show the film in the 70mm, which didn’t help. Looking back, I probably should have found time to see Barbie in theaters. Furiosa Barbie does sound cool. I wouldn’t say no to Fennec Shand Barbie. I’m still hung up on Proust Barbie as was mentioned in the film, as that sounds amazing. Margot Robbie’s performance in this, it’s definitely one of her very best. It’s matched with her portrayal of Sharon Tate, in my book. I thought she was beyond amazing there. Here, she’s at that level of excellence, if not better. Like I said, America Ferrera is the heart and soul of the film, both that perfect speech, and like you said, the smaller moments. One I like a lot is her embracing of the fact that she is weird and dark and crazy. That one spoke to me, albeit I’m like Felix Unger self-describes in that rather than crazy, I’m a neurotic nut. Haven’t seen America as the right-wing nut in Dumb Money, but that sounds obscenely hilarious and given my love of her work, I’m sure I’d love her in that. I saw this months after Ahsoka, and days after Jess put up the last reaction to that. So, I knew Arianna Greenblatt as young Ahsoka, and young Gamora. Seeing her in this, I was impressed, whilst also being distracted by how uncanny it was that she greatly resembled a young Rosario Dawson. Her subplot does feel just a hair rushed now you mention it. Kate McKinnon as Weird Barbie was as I said everything. Ken’s just Ken, though yeah, that Ryan Gosling guy wasn’t too shabby. Sidenote, I think the first time seeing someone with my name was watching Tom and Jerry. Good comparison to Star Trek V where the humor was detrimental, whereas here, it’s used in such a perfect way. Same here with being a cis male, thus obviously, there’s themes and elements that I can’t speak to personal experience, nor relate to or fully understand. But it is indeed immensely, profoundly wonderful seeing and hearing that multitudes of women expressing that the understood them on a level they never felt before as you described. In terms of Greta Gerwig. I confess with Little Women, there’s still the greater love and the special place in my heart for the 1994 adaptation directed by Gillian Armstrong, who is another director that deserves so much recognition. That said, Greta has proven she is an incredibly remarkable talent, and I await her future work. Though with Narnia, very much interested in that though I am, I got to work on making peace with probably not having Tilda Swinton back as Jadis as she was too sublimely perfect as the good old White Witch, that it’s going to be difficult if not outright impossible for anyone to follow Tilda and reach the bar that’s set there. Of course, I’m cautiously optimistic. We’ll see how it goes.

I love this movie and think it’s remarkable you’ve managed to avoid the Ken song until now 😁
