Barbie Ruth Handler Scene, Barbie Take My Hand Scene, Barbie Feeling Scene #barbie2023 #barbie • Billie Eilish - What W... Sorry for the abrupt ending.
I cried harder during this scene than I ever did in any movie in my 50 years. Wasn't expecting real home movie footage popping in after all the hot pink surreal Barbie imagery. All my memories of my life with my mom, her life with her mom, and so on flooded through. And Barbie came to life by being empathic and taking it all in. So good.
@@jamk2668Yh no offence but damn what about the green mile good will hunting Schindlers list and many more emotional films I did cry to this but not like the others
@@evenyou_brutus okay that does make sense ❤️ i do cry and get emotional when I’m thinking about people I love very much and movies are subjective to individual people
The girl who puts on blush and winks in the mirror is a bride getting ready on her wedding day. All those beautiful clips showing what it's like to be human came from the cast & crew
Everyone loves ken, but barbie had one of the best arcs i've seen in any satire. It was treated very seriously despite being mostly a comedy. She truly wanted more than just being stereotypical. She achieved her goal but truly suffered for it. But that's the point: she actually felt something, cause she is no longer an idea 💗
I didn’t love Ken at all 😒 He was so annoying, desperate, whiny and needy . The Ken tries to take over Barbie Land part was awful to me . I didn’t enjoy it at all . And even though I didn’t like Ken I still didn’t like how mean Barbie treated him throughout the movie either . Maybe it’s the casting. I know a lot of people love Ryan Gosling but I have never been a fan of his 🤷♀️ There were definitely parts of this movie I loved and definitely parts I did not !
@missyrose2154. I took Ryan gosling's "annoyingness" to be the major point. Many Women try sooooooo hard to be pleasing to people. They lose themselves sometimes, becoming clingy and whiny. The people they're trying to please then get annoyed by it, and frankly bored then disgusted with this woman for not having her "own identity". So the woman goes to the opposite extreme, deciding that men are the problem and they need to be squashed. Thus, taking down the patriarchy. And then her line "humans make up things like the patriarchy to deal with how uncomfortable..." it is to be human. Men and women must love and respect ourselves to see that pleasing someone else is not our purpose...
It’s so odd that there was so much controversy about this movie. In my eyes it had very little to do with men and women, and had more to do with being human, and what that means.
Im a grown man, but this scene made me feel somewhat emotional, and almost made me cry. Very deep, and touching statement made here. It's not about being a man or a woman, but being human, and nobody can tell you how to be human, you get to define who you are as a person. Amazing movie.
Im a grown man and I was hiding my face during this scene because of how much it hurt, and had to take a couple hours after the movie to let that feeling out. Now I just listen to this song when I want my numb body to remember what it feels like to be human.
Same...at the theatre I was the only guy by myself, so my eyes got watery...but I held it in as much as I could. Then, on the way home I cried silently in my car, and then when I got home I cried some more. When she said the words "being a human can be pretty uncomfortable"..."humans make things up like patriarchy and Barbie just to deal with how uncomfortable it is"...that 'stung' quite a bit, as it made me realize why 'we' do what we do or why 'we' are how we are sometimes. It brought me back to myself too. The movie was incredible, I had to purchase the Blu-Ray.
@@sose6255 just say you hate women and move on, you probably thought this was some anti-men shit when its literally poking at the patriarchy and making fun of it 💀kens storyline is huge in this movie and it's the exact opposite of what all the negative reviews make it out to be. L
As a man that was raised by a single mother! This line always brings a tear to my eyes. My sister and I never knew how much she struggled to raise us. We had a wonderful childhood thanks to her. I am 58 years old and no where understood how hard it was till I had a family of my own. I love my mom so very much! And yeah, her name just happens to be Barbara too!
This comment brings a tear to my eye 🥹 thank you for writing it so I can see that it’s all worth it in the long run. I’m a single mum of 3 beautiful young kids …amazing kids 🥹…and am raising them without a support system. Their father ran off to live his own life and my family kind of became tired of me, and slowly stopped returning my calls as I suffered such severe depression after the divorce and it was “too much” in their words… as I’ve also been close to bedridden for 3 years with severe back pain that no doctor I’ve seen can figure out. I’m currently unable to work because of my health issues. Don’t receive child support -as their father refuses. I’m weeks behind in rent and I’ll never catch up. I need support from my parents more than ever! but they’ve discarded me until I sort myself out. I cry every day… not all day, but every day 😔 most days I get the feelings that I don’t want to be here anymore. I’m holding on for my little ones, my whole life is for them. And I’m hoping they will feel this kind of appreciation when they grow up, and not feel like I held them back. That’s my biggest fear 😔 this song and the words spoken just encapsulate where I’m at in my life right now… wondering what my purpose is, or if I have one at all. That’s just surviving, that’s not living. Argh I’m so sorry for the long response, it’s a hard night for me! I haven’t spoken about adult things for a few weeks so I’m taking the opportunity! 😂 Bless you… and bless your mother. Warmest wishes for your new year, I can only hope that my sons turn out to respect single mothers in the same way. X
That's beautiful as we dont always know how to live or to die, and illness is a frightening one as I'm terminally ill. I've been on a crying but mostly alone, so I don't become cynical or live without appreciating my mom and the rest of my family and friends, but sometimes you need to cry but being a man isn't about not crying or being told when your younger that there are rules to something that can be so sad and pathetic that you loose yourself in an empty sea of others who don't know or always want to know, but then it leaves you in a darker place if they can't have empathy or are just nasty to people that they walk all over them, as they haven't a clue what's going on with you or even care, but I thank God for living at a time where at least I hope, for the better if they can feel and I for 1 care about most everyone. It's the hate I want to escape from here on Earth and I pray to God that it won't be long and torturous due to a completely horrible man that I hope to God he doesn't win as the violence will be more horrific and all out civil war and everyone will be negatively against us and the world. But i hope that doesn't happen, but its more likely if that terrible man becomes the president and his cult would be all out violent and the divide of the US would be such a step back for all of us. God bless you all ❤
This scene had me sobbing in the theater. Being a guy I can never fully relate to what being a woman is like, but I took the message of this movie to be similar to that of Soul. Trying to find your purpose in this world, only to find out that our purpose is to live and experience that world.
I was looking for a comment like this - this is how I understood it too! I felt like this scene was almost like God or “The Creator”speaking to a soul who is deciding whether to come to earth to experience life
I am a woman. And this scene and the scene with the beautiful lady Barbie complements made me sob uncontrollably. I've been raised by a father who made sure I was not in contact with my mom until I got around 20. And this movie made me realize or rather re discover what it is to be a woman. Not just a human in general. Specifically a woman. And not in a sense of all societal thibgs. But this deep deep feeling of being a woman, feelings and living and experiencing life as a woman. I can't explain it very well. Society put tags and roles on all of us. What a good mother, wife, girl should look like, to fit, to be stereotypical Barbie... An ideal. A doll, that fit specific role, has her script written. And I just felt what a treasure it is to simply be a woman. In all aspects that make us. What it is to be a little girl, what is the connection with mother, what is it to be a grandmother,, wife. Not in a sense of being perfect idea, but just rather be... As a woman, treasured and put on this planet just as perfect as we are... I really can't find words to express it.
Thinking about just trying to find my/out purpose, I feel like there's more to it than simply experience everything and anything we possibly can in life. We're always experiencing and learning something whether we know it or are aware of it or not, consciously, subconsciously, maybe/possibly even unconsciously? As Ruth basically pointed out, we only have 1 life to _live._ Perhaps everything we can ever possibly experience is to prepare us for whatever comes next when we're ready to die, an afterlife, to which I believe when the time is right for each of us that we'll be set free of our own vessels and move on/ascend or whatever to our own (personal) afterlives, whatever it may be for each of us, as well as when, where, why, and however we want/experience/interpret it, and have absolute freedom of shaping/controlling it, and to be as we choose, the 5 Ws, who, what, when, where, and why, including however we want. At least that's my honest hope. But yeah, that's basically the conclusion I came to once Ruth speaks about how uncomfortable it is being human, the things we make up to avoid it and escape reality, and she's totally right! I believe this is something that's going to stick with me for the rest of my life and in a lot of ways it kind of scares me because there's honestly not much we can do but wait/live it out. That's pretty much all I feel I can do is wait to be free and move onto eternal desirable happiness/utopia.....😢😭
No one did. The first time you heard that there was going to be a movie made about Barbie, pretty much everyone thought is was going to be this silly kids movie that has very little value after you’ve watched it. Something like Minions or Garfield.
this. this was the scene that made me want to live again. i don't need to do incredible things in order to be worthy of being a human on this planet. just being alive makes us worthy. we don't need to prove anything. for anyone. just being here is enough. we are enough. for the first time in a very long time, i want to grow old and look back on my life, knowing that i made it. i experienced being a human. that i lived.
This scene really hit me deep, not being someone who’s played with Barbie or a women but a human struggling with all the feels and troubles that are involved in our human experience. Honestly loved this part so much and have watched it so many times and it still gets me.
Fun fact - Real life Margot Robbie is featured in that beautiful montage of women & children, carrying her friends baby right before Barbie becomes human ❤
The scene was just so emotional and then the music playing added such a powerful touch. And then the scene comes where she asks for her gynecologist and ice spice starts playing 😭
I’m a 40 year old man and this scene hurt my heart. Made me think of my mother and what she endured raising me and my brothers, but also the memories and life that she gave us.
I was a week away from putting my mom's ashes in the ground when I saw this movie.When Ruth says that line about mom's and the montage starts I was sobbing. Mom sewed all my Barbie clothes and sewed me outfits that turned me into the fashionista I am today . Thankyou Greta for the most meaningful scene between a mother and daughter ever. It had been over 20 years since I had gone to a movie. Something made me go to this one. Can't help but think my mom brought me there❤
This scene is still one of the most perfect scenes I've ever watched. For me, it's the "yes" Margot says after the montage. It's that Ruth told her how uncomfortable being human is, warned her that it's going to be full of feeling, and grief, and happiness, and horror, and love and hate, and she saw it all. And she still said yes.
The first time I went to see Barbie I went with my preconceived notions of what the movie was about. Came away somewhat jaded. Spoke to a girlfriend about it, and the next day went back and saw it again. I left my incredulous man hat at home the second showing. I enjoyed the movie a lot more for what it was. The second time around this scene broke me. Had me wiping tears away. A few women sitting a few rows over saw me wiping my eyes. I didn’t care. I was just happy to have felt something from a place I wasn’t expecting. I hear they call it empathy. I don’t know if it’s possible for a movie to give that to you, but I sure felt it. It was a good movie.
it's so refreshing seeing comments from men like this! i also had the same experience. my mom was somewhat surprised because as a child i never even owned a doll, let alone a barbie. i was very scared about what barbie was going to be because it could have gone so wrong, yet it went so right. i have watched it twice but it is definitely one of my favourites. it's just so comforting, so well-done, so amazing. i will never be able to explain how good it makes me feel
@@PlusInHollywood is good for putting out movies aimed at a targeted demographic. There's something for everybody, just not always in the same movie. I walked into the theater thinking, "well, let's see what quasi-neofeminist messaging the boys in the boardroom thinks the target audience wants to hear. The, what can we do to pretend that we get it - message?" Let's face it, most studio boardrooms still look like the one in the Barbie movie. Ya know? So that was my mindset as I sat through the first showing. I could see there was maybe more there, but I just didn't know if I could trust the studio with the message. Mattel, Warner Bros. That's a lot of greedy hands ready to role the dice to see if they can get paid off of a tried and true cash cow, Barbie. I didn't want to let the Barbie movie sink in because I was ambivalent about the source of the material. So after the movie I consulted with a source whom I could trust, a woman dear to me. She had saw it with her daughter a few weeks earlier. She shared some things with me off the bat that made me think. So I decided to go back and see it again. Towards the end of the movie I was recalling some of the things she'd shared with me in that conversation about her journey as a woman, and her daughter's, and I thought about my daughter, and my mother, and my sisters, and other women I've known over a lifetime. I may not have been able to explore every emotional nuance in that moment, but in that moment I got something, and it made me feel a mixture of emotions. Pride, reverence, grief, encouragement, joy. If something makes you more instead of less empathetic, that counts as progress. To be honest, I can't hear that Billy Eilish song "What Was I Made For?" without revisiting that moment in a darkened theater, when a man learned to empathize just a little bit more, while he contemplated on the inner strength, and love women have to muster every day, just to enjoy the dignity that we men take for granted. I think the old adage goes that you don't know how strong you are until being strong is all you can be? I walked away from the second showing with a little more respect. It made me laugh. It made me cry. Yeah, it only took two showings, but I was entertained.
@@brianbeans2190thank you so much for putting these thoughts into words. i wish everyone could give this movie a chance as you have, it really sounds like you truly understood what your female friend was speaking of.
People love Gosling in this and he is definitely but god, I felt so connected to Barbie and so struck by Margot's emotional, human performance. It's so entrancing and beautiful to watch. Adore her performance. Rhea Pearlman too
This scene shows me what humanity is. It could be so easy for all of us when we work together. In love and friendship I hope sometime in the future we will get there 😢😊
i wish men could understand how much barbie meant to us as women. watching this scene felt like a stab in the heart but it also made me grateful to be alive and be a woman
as a guy, i agree 100%. i’m sad that a lot of men who have seen the movie have disregarded the messages in the film; the big example i can think of is the golden globes host making those awful “jokes” towards the barbie movie. the film was truly a beautiful experience as a human, but i can only imagine how much more impactful it all was as a woman. regardless, i love the film so much
Funny I actually missed that part...I'm a filmmaker and an editor, I was focused on her breathing and didn't hear the heartbeat. Thanks for the tip, I'll go back to it now.
This last part got me. The part where Barbie says she doesn't have to even want or ask to become human just made me cry. And when they showed scenes of little kids made me break down in tears. Also when Ruth vanished in the last part made my heart crack. This movie is a blessing. ❤️❤ 10/10 recommend
the movie doesn’t take itself seriously most of the time and that’s what makes this emotional scene so powerful, i saw this with my mom and honestly it made me cry, this movie is more about daughters and mothers than it is about men and women
This scene made me a better person. I didn’t know a movie could change me for life. It did it in a way I didn’t expect or know. Despite how uncomfortable or complex it is to be human, she chose to be human. This was so powerful to me. Knowing someone CHOSE what I try to escape sometimes made me realize what a blessing it is to live the human experience.
In Remembrance to... Ruth Handler the American businesswoman and inventor. She is best known for inventing the Barbie doll in 1959, and being the first president of toy manufacturer Mattel from 1945 until 1975. (Born: November 4, 1916 - Died: April 27, 2002) 💗 Elliot Handler the American inventor, businessman, and co-founder of Mattel. With his wife, Ruth Handler, he developed some of the biggest-selling toys in American history, including Barbie, Chatty Cathy, Creepy Crawlers, and Hot Wheels. (Born: April 9, 1916 - Died: July 21, 2011) 💙
Everything about this scene is wonderful: the acting, the music, the writing, the montage, Barbie feeling all the mess and beauty of being human and still saying “yes”. I haven’t felt this much magic in a movie in a very long time.
Both of Barbie’s scenes with Ruth are among my favorite moments. Their first meeting is so brief but is also incredibly powerful - Why? Because Ruth is the very FIRST human Barbie encounters in the real world that shows her warmth and kindness. Also, if you rewatch the scene just look at the sheer emotion on Barbie’s face when Ruth simply says ‘You’re welcome Barbie’ In that moment Barbie feels seen for the very first time. But also, she’s shocked that Ruth knows her name, as Barbie hadn’t even told her. It’s so beautiful. Just like this wonderful scene 🙌
This scene may be one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. It reminds me of my love for my daughters and my hopes and wishes for them. It also reminds me of the complexity, sadness, and beauty that comes with being human. Just spectacular.
The part that mostly got me was 2:19 I’ve always had trouble accepting that I’m allowed to be human. I grew up thinking I was nothing but a toy, something to be used and thrown away, I was a trafficking survivor So that line alone always makes me cry without fail. The first time I watched this in theaters, I came out with a different perspective. This movie means the entire world to me. It’s taught me that no matter what, I’m allowed to be human. I can embrace my femininity without shame. I loved Barbie so much… this movie is definitely one everyone should watch.
I haven't seen this movie yet and I'm _still_ bawling like a baby with this scene. I wonder how it will hit when I watch it fully..... Being human is the greatest gift. To feel love, joy, pain, sadness, emptiness, a cup overflowing.... It is all just so~ miraculous ❤
This scene evoked the same kind of emotions i felt when watching Everything Everywhere all at once, which needless to say, meant that i was absolutely sobbing my face off. Such an emotional gut punch.
I feel like they're very similar movies. They're both silly, surreal comedies, which makes it all the more powerful when they unexpectedly take you into a deeply emotional appreciation of the human condition.
Ever since I saw “Soul”, I have been trying even harder, to appreciate every little thing in life. Even the most mundane, such as breathing. And when I saw this scene, I teared up.
People do not talk about Soul enough and it touched me deeply. As someone who is still looking for their "spark" it was like a shot to the chest. So good
I didn’t really realize that RUTH passed 21 years prior….this made this scene hit so much harder and made me tear up so much in the theatre. ❤️ Barbie easily is such a cinematic masterpiece. Full of comedy, fun, bright energy and heart.
I'm a grown ass man, and I saw this movie after Oppenheimer (just for the joke / hype of it), and I wasn't expecting it. As a guy, you really feel empathetic with Ken and roll your eyes at the feminism message early on. But *then* it hits you right in the head towards the head and lets you forget all of that to make the real message clear: it's not about the metaphorical and literal boxes of either being male or female: it's about being human. It made me think of my mom and my grandparents and I bawled my eyes out. That never happens to me.
@@187420666es You're attempt at having an argument under the impression that i'm interested in thinking what a complete stranger has to say about my own subjective opinion is mildly amusing.
Y’all need to calm down. All the man said was that he enjoyed the movie and felt more connected to women and what it means to be human. You’re assuming a lot about his character. lol.
I know this is a mother daughter movie mostly. But it came out a week after my dad passed away. The last few years with him were really hard. And when this scene came on it was so hard to watch but it felt like my dad was talking to me. And it was so warm and loving. When she said "close you eyes, take my hand and feel." It fel like my dad wrapped me up in his arms and all the memories of him everything that made him my dad came flooding back and i was sobbing hard in the middle of the theater next to strangers. I love this movie, i love this song it makes me thing of how hard my dad loved me and my siblings and how much he fought his depression and self hate to be part of our lives and i am so proud of him. And im proud to have had him as my dad
This scene was so well done, from the dialogue to the cinematography, it was perfection. One of my favorite parts is how the camera closes up on different parts of Barbie’s body when she tells her to feel, you’re not just watching it but you’re feeling it too. I cried so much at this scene, she knew what being human meant and decided to do it anyway. I personally think this scene could be applied to all of us, how we choose these moments too, whether to feel everything or pretend to be perfect. And having Margot Robbie as Barbie, knowing that this woman has gone through her own struggles of beauty standards, makes the film that much more meaningful to me.
This movie has VERY little to do with self-inventing or reinvention. As a 37-year-old woman, I can tell exactly where the 39yr old director went with this. Society gauges our worth contingent on how we fit the narrative of women in society; We can't get old, we have to stay "perfect", we always need to look beautiful. Life doesn't work that way though; We do get old, our bodies change, fertility dwindles, and we no longer look "perfect" anymore. The tragic reality is that too many women try to defy time and chase a look/phase/youth that isn't a part of them anymore, rather than enjoy the new phase. Barbie "recognized" this when looking at the older woman on the bench. The movie was presented in a humorous way, but really hit home. I loved it.
This scene is so heartfelt! There was a period where my mom and I were barely talking. I was in university, I had a job near our house which tended to be 12 hour shifts and would end at midnight but I wouldn't come home because of how often we fought. I was angry at her for so much stuff that my pain overshadowed any grace I might have wanted to give her. When I finally got tired of being angry and talked to her about our issues, I really saw her for the person she was. My mom is a person with a lot of flaws, some of which I've suffered for, but she's trying. When we talked about what her experiences, her fears, and her goals were, I saw her for so much more than just my mother and it left me speechless. This scene makes me think of her.
As a man, I’m not sure why this scene touches something inside me every time I see it. Maybe it’s because in some respect, I wish I lived in a world where I’m allowed to feel. I am unsure what the world has done to me but it’s become nearly impossible to feel, and express my feelings near others, something stops me, as if I don’t want to burden others, as if I’m not worthy enough. I long to live in a world, in a place where I could just be me.
I’m a guy, but this scene really made me emotional and nostalgic in a way. While I never owned a Barbie doll nor got into it, this scene made me reminisce of my own childhood, back when things were simpler playing with the toys and everything. In a way, Barbie was as also a part of my childhood between the commercials, the movies that were on Tv, the funny references of it, it makes me feel sentimental about it all.
As a guy, this was my favourite scene besides the goofy ahh Ken War. I could describe this scene as “A comforting hug with warm hot chocolate to all the women out there.” It never mentioned anything about hating men, atleast from my POV. It was more of what I mentioned in the “” letting women know that their struggles are valid and they are beautiful in their own ways.
I like how this Barbie isn't like all the other Barbies in the franchise. They acknowledged Ken's feelings for them and actually likes them. But this Barbie and Ken are amazing! While Ken does like Barbie, she doesn't like him back! And he actually sees that he can be someone without her. "Just Barbie and Just Ken". Oh! One of the best lines of the movie. And how she wanted to become human.
I swore I wouldn't cry and this scene had me blubbering. So many emotions, so well done. Made me regret not having children, not having more adventures and fun but also hopeful for another 40 plus years to feel this life.
This is for me the best scene in the movie. To me, this scene explains the whole thing and gives everything a meaning. We are eternal beings that decided to have a life on earth in order to experience the fun and challenges of getting to know ourselves while discovering our incredible capacity for creation. This scene is way deeper than what most people realize.
This scene has to be one of the most impactful in movie history, I cried so hard when I watched it and I cry everytime I see it. It really made me reflect on my relationship with my mother and my childhood more than anything ever has
I sob so hard when I watch this clip. every time she says “we mothers stand so still so pure daughters can look back to see how far they’ve come” I feel a pain in my chest for my mom who gave up everything for me. I love this movie.
I sobbed when I watched it, Barbie was a huge part of my childhood, my love for creating characters, drawing and being myself came from playing with the dolls, it felt like getting in touch with my inner child again❤
This scene/movie truly is a masterpiece. 31 years on this earth and I’ve never felt this way about a movie before. I almost can’t explain the feeling but I know it’s special 💕
As a woman who’s always felt they’ve had a rocky relationship with their mom, seeing this in theaters was so emotional, but also felt a bit isolating in a way. But that’s not a ding against this scene by any means. I still teared up due to the pure beauty and representation of femininity in this sequence. So even though some of us don’t have a great relationship with our moms, it’s still so powerful. And I think that really shows how great of a scene it is.
As a woman, I've never appreciated my own femininity, I've always rejected it cause I've never been comfortable feminine. This movie was definitely a change on my perspective and it's not super preachy with its message. I've come to embrace my own femininity and made me proud to be a woman! I'd say this movie was a love letter to all women
As a guy , I was like : a Barbie movie ? No way . Another American work movie , I watch it I have cry 3 times ^^ The movie is not perfect . But the emotional scene are very good . And the Billie finneas song is perfect . You say you reject your feminity Don’t think about this . Just be who you are . People love you as you are . And this if the most important . Women are so much stronger than men . Be happy Love yourself
When I first heard about the Barbie movie I was expecting something like the live action The Smurfs or Woody Woodpecker This. This is so much better than the best I could’ve hoped for the movie If any adaptation or any movie at all would put THIS kind of heart in the making process then everything would so much better
One of my best friends was a movie fanatic, had his own website for his movie reviews. He passed away in 2021 due to a brain aneurysm, but I can’t watch this movie without crying and thinking how he would’ve loved it and cried too
barbie and ruth talking before the flashbacks hits so hard, and i think its because i subconsciously imagine ruth as my mom and me as barbie. Its such a struggle, growing up thinking you dont deserve the humanity youve been given and having to work through that as you get older. I love this movie.
I dont understand the hate to this movie . It had many story lines. Yes it discussed the difficulty of being a women in society, expectations of us , the sturggle of being perfect in a way for everyone to like us and get approval . But also discussed men, not just how he got a taste of patriachy and pushed that over women , but also how ken , like maby men, feel they need a women . Ken felt he needed barbie , to be whole. He felt like nothing without her bc in barbie women " had power". So once he got taste of human world he went to inforce that bc men ruled, he didnt feel ignored , belittled . He felt empowered as a man. But he and all kens stull faught bc some men got the women, still making those who didnt fe3l smaller than. Likewise , at the end , they felt tired from the power, and still empty bc they felt they needed a women . Women or power. But neither made them happy . Men need to be tall wothout needing a women. Men can have all the powe and still feel insufficient somehow. One gender , leading , is not a solution. Equality is. Both genders suffer from the controls of society standards as a man . Man must be talented, handsome, have money , power. Need a female by their side. Be better than other men . Women, pretty not to pretty , work but dont over do it , dont point outv problems . Etc; . And overall being human is a story line. Feeling sad, happy, grateful, smiling, crying , growing old , death . How we cope with uncomfortability in this society and world . Yes , its a womens movie. BUT it adresses mens problems aswell and being human overall. Its not just a true story, action, romance , etc;. Its truth everyone needs to realize.
This scene made me sob so hard. Barbie was my childhood and I had so many flashbacks while watching this. Brought me back and healed my childhood. I was a little girl watching this scene and not a grown woman.
This remind me of the song "To Be Human" from MARINA, as this scene and movie talk about what it means to be human, and even if this song of Billie Eilish was a good choice of course.
Saw it a few days ago. Most of it was basically what I expected, but that’s not meant to be a disparagement because I don’t think it would have worked any other way. This ending stood out for me, as well, and I appreciate that when all is said and done, it’s really about managing expectations regardless of what sex or gender one is.
This scene solidified it as a barbie movie for me because in all the classic barbie movies, there was a lesson on strength of having dreams, and being human. She always transformed into something in her stories. This time she became human. This was beautiful.
Right before I watched the movie I was laughing at the fact everyone was crying I was thinking it’s a movie about Barbie why are people crying I finally watched it and saw why people cried and the story line of the movie is so perfectly set it’s incredible.The fact that is described how men basically rule society and how women are just on the side lines, especially this part.I love this movie and I love the actor.Definitely recommend.
Honestly one of the best movies of our time. I didn’t expect to say that before I watched it but once I did I was actually somewhat blown away by how brilliant it is. Seriously, I’m so appreciative to the people who made this. Did they know they were doing something this great? 😅🤩
My mom gave up so much to give me anything, to let me become anything. This scene broke me. It's too much. Seeing all the different women reminded me of my grandmother and her and my aunts and my teachers and, just, fuck, it hits really hard because it means a lot of different things
That line gets me every time “we mothers stand still, so our daughters can look back to see how far they’ve come” 😭😭😭
Got me teary eyed right now😭😭
That line got me too 😢
Meh
@@imissdinklebot9741 Did your mother abandon you?
Same❤❤❤❤❤❤
I cried harder during this scene than I ever did in any movie in my 50 years. Wasn't expecting real home movie footage popping in after all the hot pink surreal Barbie imagery. All my memories of my life with my mom, her life with her mom, and so on flooded through. And Barbie came to life by being empathic and taking it all in. So good.
I cried here too. That was me standing out in that field at the end. :-)
You really need to watch more films.

Aber sicher doch 🤣
The girl who puts on blush and winks in the mirror is a bride getting ready on her wedding day. All those beautiful clips showing what it's like to be human came from the cast & crew
I kind of wish there were a few more sad images in there to show that when you embrace being human, you embrace ALL of the experience.
No-one really videoes or pictures those moments, just the parts that we never want to forget
@@jillcncthinking about the happy days that you'll never get back to is a lot of the sad part
I think she died in real life from cancer. She was a friend of Scott Evans I think
@@rhiannon1251she did, that's why the film version of her said she had a double mastectomy.
Everyone loves ken, but barbie had one of the best arcs i've seen in any satire. It was treated very seriously despite being mostly a comedy. She truly wanted more than just being stereotypical. She achieved her goal but truly suffered for it. But that's the point: she actually felt something, cause she is no longer an idea 💗
In fanfiction speak we call it "crack treated seriously".
I didn’t love Ken at all 😒 He was so annoying, desperate, whiny and needy . The Ken tries to take over Barbie Land part was awful to me . I didn’t enjoy it at all . And even though I didn’t like Ken I still didn’t like how mean Barbie treated him throughout the movie either . Maybe it’s the casting. I know a lot of people love Ryan Gosling but I have never been a fan of his 🤷♀️ There were definitely parts of this movie I loved and definitely parts I did not !
@@missyrose2154Ryan was funny though
wonderfully stated
@missyrose2154. I took Ryan gosling's "annoyingness" to be the major point. Many Women try sooooooo hard to be pleasing to people. They lose themselves sometimes, becoming clingy and whiny. The people they're trying to please then get annoyed by it, and frankly bored then disgusted with this woman for not having her "own identity". So the woman goes to the opposite extreme, deciding that men are the problem and they need to be squashed. Thus, taking down the patriarchy. And then her line "humans make up things like the patriarchy to deal with how uncomfortable..." it is to be human. Men and women must love and respect ourselves to see that pleasing someone else is not our purpose...
It’s so odd that there was so much controversy about this movie. In my eyes it had very little to do with men and women, and had more to do with being human, and what that means.
you're right!
absolutely. I left the theater and looked at every human (in the grocery store) with love that day.
Me too!!!❤❤
Because Men are not seen, or treated, as human.
@@jackdeniston59in what sense?
Im a grown man, but this scene made me feel somewhat emotional, and almost made me cry. Very deep, and touching statement made here. It's not about being a man or a woman, but being human, and nobody can tell you how to be human, you get to define who you are as a person.
Amazing movie.
Yes...my husband said the same thing!❤
You are a boy
Im a grown man and I was hiding my face during this scene because of how much it hurt, and had to take a couple hours after the movie to let that feeling out. Now I just listen to this song when I want my numb body to remember what it feels like to be human.
Same...at the theatre I was the only guy by myself, so my eyes got watery...but I held it in as much as I could. Then, on the way home I cried silently in my car, and then when I got home I cried some more. When she said the words "being a human can be pretty uncomfortable"..."humans make things up like patriarchy and Barbie just to deal with how uncomfortable it is"...that 'stung' quite a bit, as it made me realize why 'we' do what we do or why 'we' are how we are sometimes. It brought me back to myself too. The movie was incredible, I had to purchase the Blu-Ray.
@@llllPsycho you deserve love and acceptance just as anyone else does. I wish the best for you. Cry it out, brother

@@sose6255 just say you hate women and move on, you probably thought this was some anti-men shit when its literally poking at the patriarchy and making fun of it 💀kens storyline is huge in this movie and it's the exact opposite of what all the negative reviews make it out to be. L
@@savspicious I just didnt liked the movie lol
As a man that was raised by a single mother! This line always brings a tear to my eyes. My sister and I never knew how much she struggled to raise us. We had a wonderful childhood thanks to her. I am 58 years old and no where understood how hard it was till I had a family of my own. I love my mom so very much! And yeah, her name just happens to be Barbara too!
This comment brings a tear to my eye 🥹 thank you for writing it so I can see that it’s all worth it in the long run. I’m a single mum of 3 beautiful young kids …amazing kids 🥹…and am raising them without a support system. Their father ran off to live his own life and my family kind of became tired of me, and slowly stopped returning my calls as I suffered such severe depression after the divorce and it was “too much” in their words… as I’ve also been close to bedridden for 3 years with severe back pain that no doctor I’ve seen can figure out. I’m currently unable to work because of my health issues. Don’t receive child support -as their father refuses. I’m weeks behind in rent and I’ll never catch up. I need support from my parents more than ever! but they’ve discarded me until I sort myself out. I cry every day… not all day, but every day 😔 most days I get the feelings that I don’t want to be here anymore. I’m holding on for my little ones, my whole life is for them. And I’m hoping they will feel this kind of appreciation when they grow up, and not feel like I held them back. That’s my biggest fear 😔 this song and the words spoken just encapsulate where I’m at in my life right now… wondering what my purpose is, or if I have one at all. That’s just surviving, that’s not living.
Argh I’m so sorry for the long response, it’s a hard night for me! I haven’t spoken about adult things for a few weeks so I’m taking the opportunity! 😂
Bless you… and bless your mother. Warmest wishes for your new year, I can only hope that my sons turn out to respect single mothers in the same way. X
❤ very touching scene
That's beautiful as we dont always know how to live or to die, and illness is a frightening one as I'm terminally ill. I've been on a crying but mostly alone, so I don't become cynical or live without appreciating my mom and the rest of my family and friends, but sometimes you need to cry but being a man isn't about not crying or being told when your younger that there are rules to something that can be so sad and pathetic that you loose yourself in an empty sea of others who don't know or always want to know, but then it leaves you in a darker place if they can't have empathy or are just nasty to people that they walk all over them, as they haven't a clue what's going on with you or even care, but I thank God for living at a time where at least I hope, for the better if they can feel and I for 1 care about most everyone. It's the hate I want to escape from here on Earth and I pray to God that it won't be long and torturous due to a completely horrible man that I hope to God he doesn't win as the violence will be more horrific and all out civil war and everyone will be negatively against us and the world. But i hope that doesn't happen, but its more likely if that terrible man becomes the president and his cult would be all out violent and the divide of the US would be such a step back for all of us. God bless you all ❤
What happened to your dad?
@@DaveRave81I hope you’re still alive and I hope you’re happy and not suffering.
This scene had me sobbing in the theater. Being a guy I can never fully relate to what being a woman is like, but I took the message of this movie to be similar to that of Soul. Trying to find your purpose in this world, only to find out that our purpose is to live and experience that world.
I was looking for a comment like this - this is how I understood it too! I felt like this scene was almost like God or “The Creator”speaking to a soul who is deciding whether to come to earth to experience life
Same here. A grown man in the theater crying like a baby. Going into the movie I was expecting nothing but man did the movie have a lot of heart
I am a woman. And this scene and the scene with the beautiful lady Barbie complements made me sob uncontrollably. I've been raised by a father who made sure I was not in contact with my mom until I got around 20. And this movie made me realize or rather re discover what it is to be a woman. Not just a human in general. Specifically a woman. And not in a sense of all societal thibgs. But this deep deep feeling of being a woman, feelings and living and experiencing life as a woman. I can't explain it very well. Society put tags and roles on all of us. What a good mother, wife, girl should look like, to fit, to be stereotypical Barbie... An ideal. A doll, that fit specific role, has her script written. And I just felt what a treasure it is to simply be a woman. In all aspects that make us. What it is to be a little girl, what is the connection with mother, what is it to be a grandmother,, wife. Not in a sense of being perfect idea, but just rather be... As a woman, treasured and put on this planet just as perfect as we are... I really can't find words to express it.
Thinking about just trying to find my/out purpose, I feel like there's more to it than simply experience everything and anything we possibly can in life. We're always experiencing and learning something whether we know it or are aware of it or not, consciously, subconsciously, maybe/possibly even unconsciously? As Ruth basically pointed out, we only have 1 life to _live._ Perhaps everything we can ever possibly experience is to prepare us for whatever comes next when we're ready to die, an afterlife, to which I believe when the time is right for each of us that we'll be set free of our own vessels and move on/ascend or whatever to our own (personal) afterlives, whatever it may be for each of us, as well as when, where, why, and however we want/experience/interpret it, and have absolute freedom of shaping/controlling it, and to be as we choose, the 5 Ws, who, what, when, where, and why, including however we want. At least that's my honest hope.
But yeah, that's basically the conclusion I came to once Ruth speaks about how uncomfortable it is being human, the things we make up to avoid it and escape reality, and she's totally right! I believe this is something that's going to stick with me for the rest of my life and in a lot of ways it kind of scares me because there's honestly not much we can do but wait/live it out. That's pretty much all I feel I can do is wait to be free and move onto eternal desirable happiness/utopia.....😢😭
Being a woman is life on easy mode
I didn't expect the Barbie movie to be and feel so human.
Neither did I. But I was open to the artistery and the two leads alone
No one did. The first time you heard that there was going to be a movie made about Barbie, pretty much everyone thought is was going to be this silly kids movie that has very little value after you’ve watched it. Something like Minions or Garfield.
this. this was the scene that made me want to live again. i don't need to do incredible things in order to be worthy of being a human on this planet. just being alive makes us worthy. we don't need to prove anything. for anyone. just being here is enough. we are enough. for the first time in a very long time, i want to grow old and look back on my life, knowing that i made it. i experienced being a human. that i lived.
I’m so glad you’re alive!! ❤️ you are worthy!!
I stopped crying then I read your comment and started crying again.
we are kenough
Oh! Your comment made me so emotional! ❤ I cannot believe I’m actually crying! You’ve written it so beautifully
Your comment is the best thing I read in months. I am sending you only love and happiness 🤍
This scene really hit me deep, not being someone who’s played with Barbie or a women but a human struggling with all the feels and troubles that are involved in our human experience. Honestly loved this part so much and have watched it so many times and it still gets me.
Fun fact - Real life Margot Robbie is featured in that beautiful montage of women & children, carrying her friends baby right before Barbie becomes human ❤

Lmao that killed me 😂😂
I’m a 40 year old man and this scene hurt my heart. Made me think of my mother and what she endured raising me and my brothers, but also the memories and life that she gave us.
Same here. I'm a guy, but I have yet to watch this scene without crying every single time. This scene says something that words can't.
I was a week away from putting my mom's ashes in the ground when I saw this movie.When Ruth says that line about mom's and the montage starts I was sobbing. Mom sewed all my Barbie clothes and sewed me outfits that turned me into the fashionista I am today . Thankyou Greta for the most meaningful scene between a mother and daughter ever. It had been over 20 years since I had gone to a movie. Something made me go to this one. Can't help but think my mom brought me there❤
This scene is still one of the most perfect scenes I've ever watched. For me, it's the "yes" Margot says after the montage. It's that Ruth told her how uncomfortable being human is, warned her that it's going to be full of feeling, and grief, and happiness, and horror, and love and hate, and she saw it all. And she still said yes.
The first time I went to see Barbie I went with my preconceived notions of what the movie was about. Came away somewhat jaded. Spoke to a girlfriend about it, and the next day went back and saw it again. I left my incredulous man hat at home the second showing. I enjoyed the movie a lot more for what it was.
The second time around this scene broke me. Had me wiping tears away. A few women sitting a few rows over saw me wiping my eyes. I didn’t care. I was just happy to have felt something from a place I wasn’t expecting. I hear they call it empathy.
I don’t know if it’s possible for a movie to give that to you, but I sure felt it. It was a good movie.
it's so refreshing seeing comments from men like this! i also had the same experience. my mom was somewhat surprised because as a child i never even owned a doll, let alone a barbie. i was very scared about what barbie was going to be because it could have gone so wrong, yet it went so right.
i have watched it twice but it is definitely one of my favourites. it's just so comforting, so well-done, so amazing. i will never be able to explain how good it makes me feel
@@PlusInHollywood is good for putting out movies aimed at a targeted demographic. There's something for everybody, just not always in the same movie. I walked into the theater thinking, "well, let's see what quasi-neofeminist messaging the boys in the boardroom thinks the target audience wants to hear. The, what can we do to pretend that we get it - message?" Let's face it, most studio boardrooms still look like the one in the Barbie movie. Ya know?
So that was my mindset as I sat through the first showing. I could see there was maybe more there, but I just didn't know if I could trust the studio with the message. Mattel, Warner Bros. That's a lot of greedy hands ready to role the dice to see if they can get paid off of a tried and true cash cow, Barbie. I didn't want to let the Barbie movie sink in because I was ambivalent about the source of the material. So after the movie I consulted with a source whom I could trust, a woman dear to me. She had saw it with her daughter a few weeks earlier. She shared some things with me off the bat that made me think. So I decided to go back and see it again.
Towards the end of the movie I was recalling some of the things she'd shared with me in that conversation about her journey as a woman, and her daughter's, and I thought about my daughter, and my mother, and my sisters, and other women I've known over a lifetime. I may not have been able to explore every emotional nuance in that moment, but in that moment I got something, and it made me feel a mixture of emotions. Pride, reverence, grief, encouragement, joy. If something makes you more instead of less empathetic, that counts as progress. To be honest, I can't hear that Billy Eilish song "What Was I Made For?" without revisiting that moment in a darkened theater, when a man learned to empathize just a little bit more, while he contemplated on the inner strength, and love women have to muster every day, just to enjoy the dignity that we men take for granted.
I think the old adage goes that you don't know how strong you are until being strong is all you can be? I walked away from the second showing with a little more respect. It made me laugh. It made me cry. Yeah, it only took two showings, but I was entertained.
@@PlusIn Thanks for asking.
@@brianbeans2190thank you so much for putting these thoughts into words. i wish everyone could give this movie a chance as you have, it really sounds like you truly understood what your female friend was speaking of.

People love Gosling in this and he is definitely but god, I felt so connected to Barbie and so struck by Margot's emotional, human performance. It's so entrancing and beautiful to watch. Adore her performance. Rhea Pearlman too
This. People keep overlooking how sincere and sweet Margot's Barbie is. 😢
Me too Margot is amazing ❤
This scene shows me what humanity is. It could be so easy for all of us when we work together. In love and friendship I hope sometime in the future we will get there 😢😊
Same. Community makes everything better. Not competition and being at each other's throats :(
Don’t we all
i wish men could understand how much barbie meant to us as women. watching this scene felt like a stab in the heart but it also made me grateful to be alive and be a woman
as a guy, i agree 100%. i’m sad that a lot of men who have seen the movie have disregarded the messages in the film; the big example i can think of is the golden globes host making those awful “jokes” towards the barbie movie. the film was truly a beautiful experience as a human, but i can only imagine how much more impactful it all was as a woman. regardless, i love the film so much
Stop speaking for all women. Many women I’ve seen didn’t find this movie meaningful.
@xxxmaysilssss690 and why would you spoke for those women you knew?
@@pseud0moth except I’m not “speaking” for them. I’m relaying a common opinion I’ve seen from many women (including myself).
I balled my eyes out when I heard Barbie’s first heartbeat.
Funny I actually missed that part...I'm a filmmaker and an editor, I was focused on her breathing and didn't hear the heartbeat. Thanks for the tip, I'll go back to it now.
God i cant believe i missed that. It just adds so much more 😭
i cant hear it billie is trying so hard to be quiet but still failed😒
This last part got me. The part where Barbie says she doesn't have to even want or ask to become human just made me cry. And when they showed scenes of little kids made me break down in tears. Also when Ruth vanished in the last part made my heart crack. This movie is a blessing. ❤️❤ 10/10 recommend
i don’t think i’ve ever been so impacted by a scene in a movie. this is why film
is so important.
Saw the movie twice. This still draws tears. What a beautiful scene.
the movie doesn’t take itself seriously most of the time and that’s what makes this emotional scene so powerful, i saw this with my mom and honestly it made me cry, this movie is more about daughters and mothers than it is about men and women
This scene made me a better person. I didn’t know a movie could change me for life. It did it in a way I didn’t expect or know. Despite how uncomfortable or complex it is to be human, she chose to be human. This was so powerful to me. Knowing someone CHOSE what I try to escape sometimes made me realize what a blessing it is to live the human experience.
In Remembrance to...
Ruth Handler the American businesswoman and inventor. She is best known for inventing the Barbie doll in 1959, and being the first president of toy manufacturer Mattel from 1945 until 1975.

Elliot Handler the American inventor, businessman, and co-founder of Mattel. With his wife, Ruth Handler, he developed some of the biggest-selling toys in American history, including Barbie, Chatty Cathy, Creepy Crawlers, and Hot Wheels.
(Born: April 9, 1916 - Died: July 21, 2011) 💙
I thought Barbie had an older origin, something about it being a joke toy for executives, originating in Germany.
Everything about this scene is wonderful: the acting, the music, the writing, the montage, Barbie feeling all the mess and beauty of being human and still saying “yes”. I haven’t felt this much magic in a movie in a very long time.
The choice of colour palette too, so subdued with elegant and subtle inflections of colour is just wonderful
I teared up in the theater as this scene played. It shook me to my core and brought out emotions I burried.
Same here ❤
Both of Barbie’s scenes with Ruth are among my favorite moments.
Their first meeting is so brief but is also incredibly powerful - Why? Because Ruth is the very FIRST human Barbie encounters in the real world that shows her warmth and kindness.
Also, if you rewatch the scene just look at the sheer emotion on Barbie’s face when Ruth simply says ‘You’re welcome Barbie’
In that moment Barbie feels seen for the very first time. But also, she’s shocked that Ruth knows her name, as Barbie hadn’t even told her.
It’s so beautiful. Just like this wonderful scene 🙌
This scene may be one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. It reminds me of my love for my daughters and my hopes and wishes for them. It also reminds me of the complexity, sadness, and beauty that comes with being human. Just spectacular.
The part that mostly got me was 2:19
I’ve always had trouble accepting that I’m allowed to be human. I grew up thinking I was nothing but a toy, something to be used and thrown away, I was a trafficking survivor
So that line alone always makes me cry without fail. The first time I watched this in theaters, I came out with a different perspective.
This movie means the entire world to me. It’s taught me that no matter what, I’m allowed to be human. I can embrace my femininity without shame.
I loved Barbie so much… this movie is definitely one everyone should watch.
I haven't seen this movie yet and I'm _still_ bawling like a baby with this scene. I wonder how it will hit when I watch it fully.....
Being human is the greatest gift. To feel love, joy, pain, sadness, emptiness, a cup overflowing....
It is all just so~ miraculous ❤
This scene evoked the same kind of emotions i felt when watching Everything Everywhere all at once, which needless to say, meant that i was absolutely sobbing my face off. Such an emotional gut punch.
I feel like they're very similar movies. They're both silly, surreal comedies, which makes it all the more powerful when they unexpectedly take you into a deeply emotional appreciation of the human condition.
Ever since I saw “Soul”, I have been trying even harder, to appreciate every little thing in life.
Even the most mundane, such as breathing.
And when I saw this scene, I teared up.
People do not talk about Soul enough and it touched me deeply. As someone who is still looking for their "spark" it was like a shot to the chest. So good
I didn’t really realize that RUTH passed 21 years prior….this made this scene hit so much harder and made me tear up so much in the theatre. ❤️ Barbie easily is such a cinematic masterpiece. Full of comedy, fun, bright energy and heart.
I'm a grown ass man, and I saw this movie after Oppenheimer (just for the joke / hype of it), and I wasn't expecting it. As a guy, you really feel empathetic with Ken and roll your eyes at the feminism message early on. But *then* it hits you right in the head towards the head and lets you forget all of that to make the real message clear: it's not about the metaphorical and literal boxes of either being male or female: it's about being human. It made me think of my mom and my grandparents and I bawled my eyes out. That never happens to me.
Oppenheimer was a boring movie bro, trying to compare this to Barbie is crazy 😂

@@chronicalIyoffline What? Are you gonna flame them for realizing it too late? Better late than never. Calm down.
Y’all need to calm down. All the man said was that he enjoyed the movie and felt more connected to women and what it means to be human. You’re assuming a lot about his character. lol.
I barely cry during movies but during this scene i actually cried. It was so beautiful.❤
I know this is a mother daughter movie mostly. But it came out a week after my dad passed away. The last few years with him were really hard. And when this scene came on it was so hard to watch but it felt like my dad was talking to me. And it was so warm and loving. When she said "close you eyes, take my hand and feel." It fel like my dad wrapped me up in his arms and all the memories of him everything that made him my dad came flooding back and i was sobbing hard in the middle of the theater next to strangers. I love this movie, i love this song it makes me thing of how hard my dad loved me and my siblings and how much he fought his depression and self hate to be part of our lives and i am so proud of him. And im proud to have had him as my dad
This scene was so well done, from the dialogue to the cinematography, it was perfection. One of my favorite parts is how the camera closes up on different parts of Barbie’s body when she tells her to feel, you’re not just watching it but you’re feeling it too. I cried so much at this scene, she knew what being human meant and decided to do it anyway.
I personally think this scene could be applied to all of us, how we choose these moments too, whether to feel everything or pretend to be perfect.
And having Margot Robbie as Barbie, knowing that this woman has gone through her own struggles of beauty standards, makes the film that much more meaningful to me.
One of the best scenes in film all year. Absolutely fucking well done.
watching this for the first time with my mom sitting right next time was an emotional experience i wasn’t expecting
This movie has VERY little to do with self-inventing or reinvention. As a 37-year-old woman, I can tell exactly where the 39yr old director went with this. Society gauges our worth contingent on how we fit the narrative of women in society; We can't get old, we have to stay "perfect", we always need to look beautiful. Life doesn't work that way though; We do get old, our bodies change, fertility dwindles, and we no longer look "perfect" anymore. The tragic reality is that too many women try to defy time and chase a look/phase/youth that isn't a part of them anymore, rather than enjoy the new phase. Barbie "recognized" this when looking at the older woman on the bench. The movie was presented in a humorous way, but really hit home. I loved it.
This scene is so heartfelt! There was a period where my mom and I were barely talking. I was in university, I had a job near our house which tended to be 12 hour shifts and would end at midnight but I wouldn't come home because of how often we fought. I was angry at her for so much stuff that my pain overshadowed any grace I might have wanted to give her. When I finally got tired of being angry and talked to her about our issues, I really saw her for the person she was. My mom is a person with a lot of flaws, some of which I've suffered for, but she's trying. When we talked about what her experiences, her fears, and her goals were, I saw her for so much more than just my mother and it left me speechless. This scene makes me think of her.
This scene had me bawling in the cinema.
As a man, I’m not sure why this scene touches something inside me every time I see it. Maybe it’s because in some respect, I wish I lived in a world where I’m allowed to feel. I am unsure what the world has done to me but it’s become nearly impossible to feel, and express my feelings near others, something stops me, as if I don’t want to burden others, as if I’m not worthy enough.
I long to live in a world, in a place where I could just be me.
I’m a guy, but this scene really made me emotional and nostalgic in a way. While I never owned a Barbie doll nor got into it, this scene made me reminisce of my own childhood, back when things were simpler playing with the toys and everything. In a way, Barbie was as also a part of my childhood between the commercials, the movies that were on Tv, the funny references of it, it makes me feel sentimental about it all.
This film will live forever, no doubt. Much like Barbie itself, you know.
My greatest take away from this scene was that, of all the things Barbie could be, she chose to be human ❤.
As a guy, this was my favourite scene besides the goofy ahh Ken War. I could describe this scene as “A comforting hug with warm hot chocolate to all the women out there.” It never mentioned anything about hating men, atleast from my POV. It was more of what I mentioned in the “” letting women know that their struggles are valid and they are beautiful in their own ways.
My mommy and I held hands and cried together during this scene, it was so special and a memory I will hold onto forever ❤️
I like how this Barbie isn't like all the other Barbies in the franchise. They acknowledged Ken's feelings for them and actually likes them. But this Barbie and Ken are amazing! While Ken does like Barbie, she doesn't like him back! And he actually sees that he can be someone without her. "Just Barbie and Just Ken". Oh! One of the best lines of the movie. And how she wanted to become human.
I swore I wouldn't cry and this scene had me blubbering. So many emotions, so well done. Made me regret not having children, not having more adventures and fun but also hopeful for another 40 plus years to feel this life.
This is for me the best scene in the movie. To me, this scene explains the whole thing and gives everything a meaning. We are eternal beings that decided to have a life on earth in order to experience the fun and challenges of getting to know ourselves while discovering our incredible capacity for creation. This scene is way deeper than what most people realize.
here we are to learn and gather wisdom. And grow to higher ourselves
Barbie forever in our hearts!!💖🥰💪🏾.
This scene had me bawling my eyes out in the theater, thank you for uploading this.
This scene has to be one of the most impactful in movie history, I cried so hard when I watched it and I cry everytime I see it. It really made me reflect on my relationship with my mother and my childhood more than anything ever has
I don't usually cry watching movies but I couldn't hold back my tears on this scene. Love you MOM ❤
#2:08 THE EXCELLENT LINE IN WHOLE UNIVERSE.
It is a very emotional scene and you can tell a lot people worked hard to make it as impactful as possible!
I sob so hard when I watch this clip. every time she says “we mothers stand so still so pure daughters can look back to see how far they’ve come” I feel a pain in my chest for my mom who gave up everything for me. I love this movie.
This scene gives the meaning of what it means to be human 👁🧠🫀❄️🩵
I was literally holding back my tears while watching this in the cinema 😭
This is my favorite scene in the whole movie, even more than the goofiness of the Kens’ playing guitar and dancing.
Every time I see this scene I cry. My mom held my hand so hard when I first watched this movie
This always makes me cry listening to the song
this is one of those moments which are connected to my soul and my life . loved barbie .
Margot Robbie is the perfect Barbie. What a sincere performance from her.
This is probably the best movie ending I’ve ever seen
I hope the afterlife is a collection of pleasant pastel shimmers.
I come back to this scene all the time... The music, the cinematography, the dialogue. It is all so perfect.
Masterpiece!
I sobbed when I watched it, Barbie was a huge part of my childhood, my love for creating characters, drawing and being myself came from playing with the dolls, it felt like getting in touch with my inner child again❤
Didn’t cry during this scene but I felt so much joy that I couldn’t describe
This scene/movie truly is a masterpiece. 31 years on this earth and I’ve never felt this way about a movie before. I almost can’t explain the feeling but I know it’s special 💕
seeing all the kids playing with barbies and growing up gets me cos it just reminds me of all of our childhoods 😭
I can’t watch this scene without my eyes turning into Niagara Falls.
As a woman who’s always felt they’ve had a rocky relationship with their mom, seeing this in theaters was so emotional, but also felt a bit isolating in a way. But that’s not a ding against this scene by any means. I still teared up due to the pure beauty and representation of femininity in this sequence. So even though some of us don’t have a great relationship with our moms, it’s still so powerful. And I think that really shows how great of a scene it is.
I've never felt like I did when I watched this scene in a theater for the first time omg
Through all the pain of being human, there’s so much beauty that makes it all… Worth it.
I pulled my son and daughter close to me tears in my eyes as i watched this, a grown ass man father and a husband.... no shame in my game
Love this ❤
As a woman, I've never appreciated my own femininity, I've always rejected it cause I've never been comfortable feminine.
This movie was definitely a change on my perspective and it's not super preachy with its message. I've come to embrace my own femininity and made me proud to be a woman!
I'd say this movie was a love letter to all women
As a guy , I was like : a Barbie movie ? No way . Another American work movie ,
I watch it
I have cry 3 times ^^
The movie is not perfect .
But the emotional scene are very good . And the Billie finneas song is perfect .
You say you reject your feminity
Don’t think about this .
Just be who you are .
People love you as you are . And this if the most important .
Women are so much stronger than men .
Be happy
Love yourself
In this scene, Barbie becomes Barbara. Never fails to makes me cry.
When I first heard about the Barbie movie I was expecting something like the live action The Smurfs or Woody Woodpecker
This. This is so much better than the best I could’ve hoped for the movie
If any adaptation or any movie at all would put THIS kind of heart in the making process then everything would so much better
One of my best friends was a movie fanatic, had his own website for his movie reviews. He passed away in 2021 due to a brain aneurysm, but I can’t watch this movie without crying and thinking how he would’ve loved it and cried too
I cried both times I saw this movie during this scene
barbie and ruth talking before the flashbacks hits so hard, and i think its because i subconsciously imagine ruth as my mom and me as barbie. Its such a struggle, growing up thinking you dont deserve the humanity youve been given and having to work through that as you get older. I love this movie.
I dont understand the hate to this movie . It had many story lines. Yes it discussed the difficulty of being a women in society, expectations of us , the sturggle of being perfect in a way for everyone to like us and get approval . But also discussed men, not just how he got a taste of patriachy and pushed that over women , but also how ken , like maby men, feel they need a women . Ken felt he needed barbie , to be whole. He felt like nothing without her bc in barbie women " had power". So once he got taste of human world he went to inforce that bc men ruled, he didnt feel ignored , belittled . He felt empowered as a man. But he and all kens stull faught bc some men got the women, still making those who didnt fe3l smaller than. Likewise , at the end , they felt tired from the power, and still empty bc they felt they needed a women . Women or power. But neither made them happy . Men need to be tall wothout needing a women. Men can have all the powe and still feel insufficient somehow. One gender , leading , is not a solution. Equality is. Both genders suffer from the controls of society standards as a man . Man must be talented, handsome, have money , power. Need a female by their side. Be better than other men . Women, pretty not to pretty , work but dont over do it , dont point outv problems . Etc; . And overall being human is a story line. Feeling sad, happy, grateful, smiling, crying , growing old , death . How we cope with uncomfortability in this society and world . Yes , its a womens movie. BUT it adresses mens problems aswell and being human overall. Its not just a true story, action, romance , etc;. Its truth everyone needs to realize.
This scene made me sob so hard. Barbie was my childhood and I had so many flashbacks while watching this. Brought me back and healed my childhood. I was a little girl watching this scene and not a grown woman.
This remind me of the song "To Be Human" from MARINA, as this scene and movie talk about what it means to be human, and even if this song of Billie Eilish was a good choice of course.
this is the most impactful scene since coco's ending guitar scene. amazing
Saw it a few days ago. Most of it was basically what I expected, but that’s not meant to be a disparagement because I don’t think it would have worked any other way. This ending stood out for me, as well, and I appreciate that when all is said and done, it’s really about managing expectations regardless of what sex or gender one is.
This scene solidified it as a barbie movie for me because in all the classic barbie movies, there was a lesson on strength of having dreams, and being human. She always transformed into something in her stories. This time she became human.
This was beautiful.
Right before I watched the movie I was laughing at the fact everyone was crying I was thinking it’s a movie about Barbie why are people crying I finally watched it and saw why people cried and the story line of the movie is so perfectly set it’s incredible.The fact that is described how men basically rule society and how women are just on the side lines, especially this part.I love this movie and I love the actor.Definitely recommend.
Honestly one of the best movies of our time. I didn’t expect to say that before I watched it but once I did I was actually somewhat blown away by how brilliant it is. Seriously, I’m so appreciative to the people who made this. Did they know they were doing something this great? 😅🤩
As a male, I cried at this scene like crazy !!!!
i was with my friend watching it and told her i loved her and we kept sobbing through out 🥹
Barbie (2023) is the best movie ever and I love it.
ANYTHING is POSSIBLE! 💯💖💝
It's a great time to be a girl, BARBIE! 💗
My mom gave up so much to give me anything, to let me become anything. This scene broke me. It's too much. Seeing all the different women reminded me of my grandmother and her and my aunts and my teachers and, just, fuck, it hits really hard because it means a lot of different things
