Barbie review because once you've already done She-Hulk and Velma, this was just more of the same. I think some people were a bit surprised by the content, but it really was just the same ideas and values I've covered before. What's more fun, were the reviews. People going to see Barbie and Oppenheimer back to back I can't imagine was very popular, but the memes were. And Barbie is shaping up to be an incredible success. So as Greta Gerwig's Barbie manages to pull in the crowds with Margot Robbie, and it's supporters are happy that "the right" people don't like it. You have to ask, is this movie beneficial for even the ones who like it? What are your thoughts, let me know down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
From what I hear, Barbie is next-level even compared to She-Hulk and Velma! The message (targeted at little girls) seems to be that women can never be safe or happy, unless men are stripped of all rights and thoroughly subjugated by their superior-in-every-way matriarchal overlords! This is no ordinary man-hating trash!
Writers: Women, just like Barbie, have been lied to by the rest of the world! Also Writers: Let's make movie trailers that show a completely different story than the one in the movie.
Come on, this is movie marketing 101. Every Tarantino movie was billed as action/adventure/comedy, even though we all knew it was going to be 90% dialogue and 10% homage to something we didn't see. That was just because they didn't want people to think it was boring. But it's standard practice. This is a new beast. A fake double feature kind of looks looks like they didn't want people to think anything at all, just feel excited. Thinking about it for even a second reveals how little sense it makes. 100% marketing sleazery. They're roping in Nolan and his ilk, who just want to make great movies, and using their work to force people to pay for more vapid pseudo-moralizing. The snake is eating its own tail. But it's a vampire ouroboros. Digesting itself.
@@prunelle9068 Was there? I watched both of them and Roadblock didn't take 5 minutes of screen time to complain how women don't know how hard it is to be a man or see a bunch of reviews saying how sexist both movies were. If you can post links to those myriad of reviews, I'd be happy to read them and retract what I just said in my last two posts.
It caught me by surprise (watched it for free btw) how overtly woke this movie is, it is trying to hide absolutely nothing, it is an actual feminist indoctrination manifesto
@@John-Doe-Yo Lots of collabs, food, makeup, regular day to day items and clothes. It was an aggressive marketing, I didn't leave the house a lot (and I'm not American) but when I left lots of clothes and then on the internet saw the others I mentioned in the comment. Personally I really dislike this type of marketing, it was very annoying, and I think I'm in their target audience, a young adult girl. Since when I knew it was being done a life action of barbie I said not interested I know it's gonna be shit (and I prefer my Barbie movies animated XD)
2040 Barbie wearing rainbow attire, tattoos, piercings and rainbow colored buzz cut hair. Barbie: "I'm a Barbie Girl, in a Sexist World, Buying Plastics, So Satanic Don't you touch me there Or give me Hungry Stares This is my Oppression I'm teaching YOU a LESSON Ken: "Come on Barbie, let's go party! Barbie: "I'm not your dumb BIMBO girl in a toxic world Where you can butter me up like I'm your dolly Ken: "You're the Queen of the Scene, in a Fashion Dream Love being Mean since your Preteen, to be Queen Barbie: "Don't you touch, Don't you say If you say "I'm always yours" Ooh-woah...! Ooh woah..! I do the talk, I do the walk, I do whatever I please Cause I'm the New Star Men should be begging on knees Ken: "Come on in, female friend, we can do this again Hit the town, fool around, let's go party! Barbie: "Don't you touch, Don't you say If you say "I'm always yours" You can't touch, You can't play. If you do, I'm bringing the COURTS! Ken:" Come on Barbie, let's go party! Barbie not looking at him, texting: "Nah ah ah yet." Ken: "Come on Barbie, let's go party!" Barbie shakes her head, still ignoring him: "Nooahh...! Nooo..! Woah!" Ken: "Come on Barbie, let's go party!" Barbie dials 911 on her smartphone: "Nah ah ah yet." Ken: "Come on Barbie, let's go party!" Barbie screams into the phone for help: "Noo..! Noo..! Woah!" Police car pulls up to arrest Ken for "harassment" as Barbie cries and shows her restraining order.
As someone who fell for someone just cuz she complemented an idea I had, the fact that Ken felt overjoyed that someone asked him for the time hit way too close to home.
@@jneilson7568 Because the writer sees the world like that. Doesn't change that if you look it from a realistic lens, Barbie is the villain of this story.
@@Rakshiirshe purposely identifies how important equality is and then reinstates it in her world and leaves it opened ended how long it would take to get equality in barbieland and that they have to "work towards it" seems like a villain if she doesn't care
If you watch Barbie (available for free) you'll realise it is an actual important topic of conversation, not because of Barbie or the movie itself, but because it is the first overtly ideological Hollywood blockbuster. The movie is unapologetic propaganda from start to finish
All the subliminal messaging going on with every thumbnail’s with nukes exploding in the background that they’re onto something big if thing’s really escalate badly.
As someone who grew up playing with barbies, the reason Ken was largely neglected wasn't because we saw him as lesser-than. It was because we were too busy embracing the pure femininity of barbie! The clothes, the hair, the house, shopping, choosing her career and yes pursuing Ken was all part of the fun. It was about using our imagination to make barbie into the woman we'd want to be. Of course, when you're little you don't think about all that but in hindsight that's what a lot of us were subconsciously doing when playing with barbie.
And then you had girls like me who created entire relationship dramas around Barbie and Ken, but they always ended up together. I would've been so psyched if this movie was a rom-com. I can't wait until this super-feminist stuff goes away.
If our society wouldn't completly crumble, I woud honestly like to see the feminists have it their way. Have all men quit their jobs that uphold the system as they do. It will be interesting to see how fast the system can crash and burn. Don't get me wrong: I am not saying women don't do anything or can't do anything, but the disconnect on how much men do and how important they are for society (not only for the survival of the human race) would be an interesting lesson. Would also be interesting to see how many woman actually then would take the side of men, you know, those women that see the world with a bit more realism.
And you get BOOBS in Oppenheimer. It's shocking how completely different Hollywood can be. You have an actual masterpiece versus absolute modern trash.
or they couldve made a fun positive movie for the whole family and show people how working and encouraging each other is important, instead we get brain washing feminist crap
@@jameswilliams-zr8co Zaslav is doing a really BAD job at making sure that content with legs hits the market. Frankly, I think he's killed more successful things than bad things.
Right?! 😢...I honestly thought it'd be a fun good' ol barbie movie with cute girls doing cute things and having a blast while at it, but yeah I guess bs agendas is what they went with😮💨🥲
I doubt I would warn my daughters about "the message" and try to explain it to them using the movie as example. You are not protecting your kids, only making them vulnerable about "the message".
Huge pass for me as well. I watched almost all the Barbie movies with my daughters as well. But like everything else they are changing Barbie like all other classics. So I don’t care who is in it I go to the movies for the storyline not the actors.
Ken wasn’t just Barbie’s door mat. Ken was Barbie’s everything. He would talk to her be there for her help her . She would help him. They were best friends . he done just as many careers as Barbie as well. I think the woman who made it treated her ken like crap. Poor guy.
Imagine making a movie where the slaves are the villains for wanting to be free. (Note: This quote summarizing the message of the Barbie movie is properly attributed to Noah Sprague Studios, from a Midnight's Edge livestream.)
I don't think it has anything to do with them being slaves or not, they simple have dingling bits and that it is what makes them villains, especially if they are cis, white and heterosexual.
Stuff like this and Velma seem genuinely ACTIVELY hateful. You watch something like "I Spit On Your Grave" or "Last House On The Left" or any of the other violent, exploitative cinema of yesteryear and you still don't feel anywhere near the level of raw, seething contempt for humanity you get oozing off of this nonsense. Its unreal.
There is now a generation that has been indoctrinated with extreme feminist rage. I've heard young women contemptuously calling a pregnant woman a "breeder" and a "slave to the patriarchy" for having a loving husband. The future of humanity is looking fairly shaky I must say.
Aren’t “I spit on your grave” and “last house on the left” movies where men violently assaulted young girls… ? And you call those movies actively hateful towards… men?? There something very wrong in the way you think. What you call actively hateful is when the men dies and the woman survive?? You see hates in a Barbie movie or in Velma… you have a problem with women perspective, if you switch genders would you call it hateful?
@@Devi_Seona Perhaps I didn't explain it well enough. While LHOTL and ISOYG have miserable content they're still just sleazy, exploitative movies that really just try to make you uncomfortable and gross you out. If you watch the Kaling Velma series, there is a GENUINE hatred for EVERYONE in its writing. I wasn't defending the fictional actions of either of those movies. I was merely stating that the thought processes behind them were nowhere nearly as spiteful. The gender thing is incidental. Wes Craven wasn't actively trying to make a movie that openly stated entire groups of people are bad. I don't have a problem with the feminine perspective and I would absolutely call it hateful if someone spent millions of dollars to make a movie or show that actively held an unabashed contempt for women. I'm not talking about something mildly unflattering about a specific character in the narrative. I mean something like 70% of the "jokes" overtly and actively saying how mean, stupid, incompetent, but still somehow in control of everything, or any of the other awful propaganda. You can say something truly awful and wrap it in a bright neon package. Some people are masters of Trojan Insults.
They missed an opportunity to really delve into women's struggles too. They briefly touched on beauty expectations, but did they show the Barbies taking their makeup off, or being okay with not looking perfect all of the time? No. They'll tell young women we don't need to look perfect, but then show the exact opposite. They aren't even prepared to actually be feminist, let alone treat men with respect
there is even a line by the narrator that using margot robbie to get that point across doesn't work, wich is funny cause it is lit them admitting that there is a logic behind the beauty standard and that pretty privilige basically exists lol
Barbie becoming human is all about her accepting imperfections. She chooses to leave barbie land and accept cellulite, death, age, and having men in majority of power while also aggressively creep on you. It's better though then just never thinking about death and living in ignorant escapism in barbieland. The drinks are all fake, the ocean and pool are fake, she has no interest in relationships, every day is the same. In reality every day could be full of devastating humiliation and pain or unbelievable surprises and excitement.
I'm just genuinely impressed with the marketing team. They took the like 5 minutes of footage that wasn't hateful and spiteful and managed to COMPLETELY hide just how evil and woke this movie is. Bravo
@popalhaco oh don't get Mr wrong, I knew it was gonna be Hella woke. But no one was expecting Margo Robbie to literally turn to the camera and read Gloria Steinam multiple times or have an entire race held in slavery and laughing about it
@@zephyrr108 Yeah, it's certainly not the first trailer that's hid quite a lot of things (see Kenobi, etc; even She Hulk's 2nd trailer made it look "good").
@@marychocolatefairy To be fair, for those who live in Asia, not everyone has Disney+ (it's not cheap and not many can afford having multiple subscription-based services). Also, woke culture isn't a thing there, so ppl won't be actively searching for clues of it. Most rely on trailers that show up in cinemas or word of mouth from friends/family who have watched it on the first week to make a decision whether to watch or not, not entertainment site new or YT commentary channels like this one. A lot of their ticket sales from Asia are going to be from those who expect the movie to be a "campy fun comedy" like how the trailers and promo events hyped it to be.
The reason they made so much was the fact, every girl would want to see it. The nefarious part is, they knew they could reach there target audience, ie, brainwash the children.
Yeah, Barbie is a very old, very beloved, very established IP. As long as it looks like the Barbieworld people grew up with (gotta emphasize those yellow skates), making the right references at the right times, the nostalgia will kick in and they'll love it without seeing it for what it is. It's like the Lion King remake, which fooled a massive amount of people into thinking they were actually watching the same movie they grew up with, when in reality they were watching something totally different.
They have tried to brainwash the boys with film like Peter Pan and Wendy and Shows like Velma and Willow but some might think they will have to wait a few years before that can be profitable so they for for the girls instead who are of course easy to manipulate.
I love how despite the feminist railings against patriarchy - the movie literally ends with the status quo of the Real World and BarbieLand being restored. “Men get to run the real world, women you get to run fake imagination la la barbieland (which is actually being governed in the real world by a board of all men)”
If Hollywood thinks this is the green light, it's time to watch the money burn. The only reason Barbie got as far as it did is because of its inherent brand recognition and hiding the fact that it was going to be woke. But now that it's out there, it's possible were going to see a massive 2nd week drop.
Sadly I don't think it will drop on 2nd week. The thing with wokeness is that it's something that usually affects men targeted products (gender swapping or race swapping etc). We are good at boycotting shit thrown at us. Women on the other hand is not. Especially if it's a product that is fully dominated by women (no man has any business liking Barbie). Most women are very aligned with the films underline message so they won't actually boycott it, if anything it will amplify it. Never underestimate a women's justification to hate on men.
This gets way more deep when you realize that Greta Gerwig has two kids, her most recent, a son, born in Feb 2023. Her husband, director Noah Baumbach, helped write the film and is given co-writer credit. What does this say about that family, and Greta's perception on it?
@@kungfuvoodoo9889 Well... They will.... the problem just is that we are ALL going to be part of this fall. Men kind of build, maintained and protected the world and made it possible for women to even have this sheltered privileged lifestyle. But now that all hiring is based on DEI not skill... Shockingly everything is just falling apart, living standards are getting worse, and it's not getting any better... Cause we are not allowed to hire on merit. Nor encourage men to be great and do great things. I am a woman saying this... We're SCREWED! And we're screwed because modern women are bitches and modern men are weak. And modern men are weak BECAUSE they are trying to appease these bitches that are never going to be happy. Hell, the strongest men are usually strong because they do have a woman who pushes them in that direction. So yeah... Women guides men. And men accommodate women.... We need each other. And this total destruction of gender roles and hatred of one is going to be our undoing. I'm 33 and saying this, I am not that old.
@@kungfuvoodoo9889 When they hit the wall and realize that the rest of their lives involve nothing more than cats, cats, and more cats, the consequences become ALL too real for them.
@@johnhoran9840 Meh, I've seen plenty of cases of people like that who still manage to reel in simps. Nowhere near the kind of consequences if it was the other way around.
Doesn’t matter. They watched it, made it a success and hence Hollywood will triple down on it. All Hollywood wanted is one success for this ideology to justify an abundance of more ideological movies. So yeah, more to come of this for a long, long time.
Ken lived in a matriarchal world until he was shown what was possible by going to the real world. Within a short time period he was in Barbie land he completely inverted society. He didn't spend decades complaining about a non existent wage gap, establish body positivity, start an OF account, receive government handouts & quotas, claim victimization, or push anti woman propaganda through media. He just marched in and changed everything on a dime. Chad Ken 😂
Warner learned from Velma, and the Flash, and Shazam, and Black Adam.... They fired all those people and put on a soulless corpo that probably could have made people go out and buy anything
Exactly, the part that makes this movie different than She-Hulk and Velma is how disingenuous the marketing was, as well as the cast talking about it being feminist only for the studio to quickly snap back that it wasn't. It seems at some point during production they must have realized woke shit wasn't that popular and rather than doing reshoots they just decided to hide that stuff away from the trailers so that they could at least scam a wide audience into watching it the opening weekend.
Ok look, I'm a straight regular guy myself, and I am feeling EXAUSTED and almost INSULTED that ppl r going to a point where they close their minds enough to still think this movie is "Feminist Garbage" after watching the ending of this film. I am INSULTED!!!!!!! It is a DISRESPECT to CINEMA. It infuriates me how much pol these days r so obsessed w social media ideologies and memes and etc... To the point that they're willing to watch a FULL MOVIE only to Completly miss what the movie was actually made for, and then, DARING to BLAME THE MOVIE for being something that it's EXACTLY AGAINST. It is DISGUSTING to me. It's like saying that "Beauty and the Beast" is a movie about Jugding People By their appearence, and calling it a "Superficial Garbage". It is EXACTLY THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ppl aren't willing to take the time to ACTUALLY understand and ANALYSE a modern movie with THEIR OWN BRAINS... NO! Society made us tired of wokeness so now less just leave the analysing part to SOCIAL MEDIA. You don't have to be a SMARTASS to understand that this movie is a SATIRYCAL COMEDY, which means, Every polotical subject that it's gonna contain explicitly in, WILL BE A SUBJECT THAT THE MOVIE IS CRITIQUING! IT'S NOT THAT HARD!!!!! U just have to use UR OWN BRAIN and analyse it with UR OWN OPINION regarlessly of what Social Media Reports say. It's THAT SIMPLE. The fact that some ppl r watching Barbie untill the end and can't understand that it's a movie that Uses both Feminism and Patriarchy, to MOCK IT, while the movie is MORE THAN EXPLICIT abt it, Genuenly BLOW MY MIND!!!!!!!!!! It actually makes me feel quiet Hopeless tbh. It males me feel like us Humans in General are becoming the most DUMBASS BEINGS ON EARTH bc of having everything Too Easy for us. It's insanely FROSTRATING how some ppl just CANNOT appreciate GOOD CINEMA just bc of the Times it's being made (A.K.A. Barbie). And yk what, I hope this movie makes a WHOLE LOTTA MONEY, I hope pll who watched it amd liked it will rewatch it countless times (I for sure will) and I hope it gets TONS of Oscar Noms and WINS majority of them. Maybe it could make some ppl actually give it try and use their Brain-Cells, without Social Media Influence. I actually expected ppl to finally stop being pessimistic abt cinema with this movie, that they would actually see how good cinema STILL EXISTS and how AMAZING it is, but no, what was I thinking, silly me! Agreeing with Social Media Moovements is more important. If this continues going on, one day cinema will End Completely, and we're gonna look back at this time and see all the amazing movies we decided to SHIT ON, JUST FOR THE SAKE OF IT, like this one, and we'll say "Well, those were actually pretty good movies. Those actually made some history!" But it will be too late, bc we didn't enjoy the last good movies while we still had them... Why? Bc SOCIAL MEDIA CREATED A TREND MOVEMENT AGAINST POST COVID MOVIES😑😑😑😑😑
I mean come on, was it really “Hidden”. In this day and age you should have known it was going to be a Feminazi woke monstrosity of an hour and a half long insult. If you didn’t see this coming, you haven’t been paying attention to Hollywood since 2018.
A lot of the excitement around Barbie is around people dressing up for the film in all pink, and wearing pink purses. All intended to be innocent fun and a summer moment. However I don’t think anyone who was excited about the dressing up was aware this was a politically charged movie.
Dude the women in my family went to go see Barbie. I’ve never seen them so pissed off. My mom took my sister’s along with some other women in my family to see it and she was so mad that they hid the actual nature of the movie and called it the worst thing she’s ever watched saying that she couldn’t believe she had to actually explain to my 10 year old sister on the way home why Barbie acted the way she did and why treating men like the enemy helps nobody. My mom hates politics especially when geared towards kids so she was fuming.
@@PaulaBean you mean churches, temples, shrines, ect do this. The act of religion is solely based on spreading compassion and the consequences of being evil. Religion in of itself isn’t a bad thing where as this just straight up teaches hate and intolerance. This is an important difference because I’ve heard countless people bitch about religion solely through word of mouth and propaganda rather then anything actually in the Bible.
“Barbie is a world where type bs hold every position of power and anyone who has dangly bits just exists to serve them” is the type of hyperbole I could see Disparu using as a joke, but that’s literally the actual plot of the movie.
That is literally the point of toy, Ken was sold as accessory to Barbie. And every profession was Barbie, every woman was Barbie, I think people missed the point that this is comedy and satire. It is a dystopian world from the get go.
@@luzmaria5006 - That may have been the case were it not for all the Fempremacy buzzwords jammed into it. How many times was the "patriarchy" mentioned? The Take-A-Shot drinking game, based on that doctrinal word, WOULD probably kill people if done while watching this film.
‘The Barbie movie’ is being hailed as a subversive feminist masterpiece but even in their wildest fantasy world they reveal their true desires.. Barbie longs to live in and chooses the real world’s Patriarchal Dystopia NOT Barbieland’s Matriarchal Utopia 😂
Because it represent how girls eventually have to grow up, stop playing with barbies, and live in the real world, where misogynistic people like you actually live. So she goes and deal with them, the same way I'm doing it with you. Get it? dah
I haven't seen it but some have said that is why Mario bros was such a hit. I for one liked Luck, the animated film John Lasseter made when he had left Pixar (where he had been chief creative officer for their good movies).
@@manoz6194 Also the messages used to be more universal and positive, like "a parent will do extraordinary things to save their child and that's heroic," or "anyone, even the least outwardly heroic people, can defeat evil and save the day." I'm specifically referencing Aliens and Lord of the Rings here, but I'm sure other people were thinking of other movies that have similar messages too.
A gripe I have with the film is that it doesn't really talk about all the positive impacts Barbie has had on girls(and some guys) only the negatives and I feel that's damaging.
@@bryana.escaleralopezhow? Men still want the OG Barbie and the traits it eschewed in Women. Are you going to patronize us men into thinking our beliefs are wrong and immoral??
I did Oppenheimer then Barbie....Barbie made me feel worthless as a woman... I can't imagine how it would have made men feel and how destructive it could be to children. So glad I ended up watching Mission Impossible after... far far better film Also... annoying all the right people... like me... a lifelong barbie fan who to this day watches the animated films... good one Mattel...
@@simpdefendmlady6579...Because it's so utterly *_fake?_* And needlessly cruel? And dehumanizing to men? *Frankly, the plot sounds like the tone deaf, self-fellating propaganda of social elites, congratulating themselves for putting down another slave rebellion.*
Who knew I could go to a Barbie review and get an amazing description of the correct role for an older woman: "How she looks as she ages doesn't matter anymore. It becomes about passing on your wisdom. You're meant to use that to teach the next generation..." That was brilliant. Thank you.
As someone whose seen the movie. Alot of the anti-man, feminist shit went way over peoples' heads. Women clapped whenever Ryan Gosling was on screen and it was crickets for the other cast. I guarantee that the women who left rhe movie hating men are the ones that went into the theatre already hating men. The woke message was so hard i believe that most audiences took it as parody.
This is why it's hard to spread their messaging that way. Stories only convey truth. Trying to make a comprehensible movie about an incoherent philosophy doesn't work. The only way to get the message is to be looking for it and be so singleminded that it's all you see and the inconsistencies don't bother you
It's not targeted towards smart and/or thinking people. The more you think about it the less sense it makes (as we see in videos/reviews of several critics). Instead it brainwashes ordinary (not thinking much) people with subconscious messages "men are horrible", "feminism is the way". Ofc, it brainwashes.young girls the most, breaking them at their core values forever.
The better marketing teams get at hiding "the message" the more audiences will skip opening weekends and wait until others can tell them what the movies are really like.
I think the more likely result is that Theater gets killed off. Well more than how dead it is now. And streaming goes full swing with Theater in the nostalgic dumps along with BlockBuster
I think men have already adopted this stance which explains the box office results of Indiana Jones 5 and The flash. I think women in general have much fewer problems with modern films as they are perhaps more part of what the filmmakers call the moderna audiences that they make modern film for.
It's really kind of an arms race, coming up with new ways to get the audience to look at (and more importantly pay for) your trash while the audience comes up with new methods of avoiding it.
I think it's sad to think that so many parents took their children to see a movie about a popular children's toy, just to realise this is not for children but for bitter single feminists...😔
I just think it's weird that the trend of ignoring PG-13 ratings and just assuming a movie is for children because of a brand or actor that's in it has reared its ugly head again. I mean, the other part is also sad, but I really don't get what people have against reading the movie's rating.
@@Zara-Bari 1. Movies receive PG-13 ratings for a whole host of reasons. Some children under 13 are capable of dealing with SOME situations, but those situations need to be explained accurately. 2. Many of the reasons people don't want to take their kids to see this have nothing to do with WHY it received its rating.
@@DeadlyPlatypus, no, I get that, but I do think that it's odd how people get carried away by a certain brand or actor and ignore the ratings because of it. Even the trailer made it look like it was meant to appeal to adults with nostalgia for Barbie, not kids or even teens. At least that was the vibe I got from it.
@@Zara-Bari "At least that was the vibe I got from it." Sure. And a LOT of other people apparently got a different vibe. Now you're basing your opinion on PERCEPTION and not just reasoning.
Audiences must love that phrase --they should sign an affidavit before each screening to protect themselves from over exposure. You actually hear that in Oppie while he's naked! Then you hear it again and again...
As a young woman, I hated this movie-I didn't know what to expect and I didn't want to watch reviews because I was worried about spoilers. Needless to say, it would've saved me 2 hours of my life if I had just not gone. It wasn't very funny-I only laughed once and it was because of Ryan Gosling's portrayal of Ken. I didn't think the message about feminism was witty, it was bare bones and VERY VERY lazy. I understand that the movie was pretty much satire, but isn't satire supposed to be funny? I'm also tired of hearing the same message over and over: "Men suck, women powerful!" I don't believe woman have to be just like men in order to be empowered, I believe anyone can do whatever they want. A woman can do a man's job and a man can do a woman's job. However, why can't women just be women in movies nowadays? It's almost like having charm, vanity, and being a mother/provider is suddenly a bad trait to have if you're a woman, but isn't that what separates us from men? I don't even hate men-I don't know why they're painted in such a bad way. Yes, both men and women have their bad apples, but why is it that ALL men are trash in media? I don't get it...
This would have been good if Barbie realized how lonely and miserable and unappreciated the Kens had been in Barbieland and decided to seek balance between the Barbies and Kens and set an example for the Real World. But what do I know. I don't have my head lodged in my colon.
Being cold as hell, they could never do that...Ken was an accessory for barbie like...forever. I'm starting tithing that Barbie as concept its litterally a breaking point of Feminist ideology.
Hey so um, question did you watch it? Cus my gf watched it and from what she got..that’s actually what happened? They all realized the kens simply needed sometbing to do and everyone to be more or less equal right? Or am I missing a major plot point that she didn’t tell me or missed?
@@Trayvis34 Don't know what your gf watched, but the movie ends with the Barbies in charge again and the Kens will only get equal treatment once women in the Real World are in charge like the Barbies in Barbieland.
I'm still hung up on the opening scene, little kids do *not* just naturally treat baby dolls that way unless there is something deeply and severely wrong with them psychologically. The fact that a woman who actually has a little baby was not only willing but hellbent on coaching small children to do this makes me extremely concerned for that baby. She should give it to me, the rancid c*nt will probably just eat it if she's allowed to keep it.
Yeah, it was 100% an attack on motherhood and pro-abortion to pursue materialism imagery. If it were just about kids preferring the pretty doll over the baby doll they could have just dropped the dolls they werent interested in anymore.
@@anon2752 That's typically what little kids do when they outgrow playing with baby dolls and transition to Barbies, they generally just stop playing with the baby dolls. The fact that these people think this is ok is not only a severe criticism of our current society but it should also be alarming to far more people than it apparently is.
Great Gerwig's "Barbie" is subversive in that it's the first summer blockbuster, possibly ever, to show a male abuse victim, trapped in "Barbieland" as he struggles to find his own identity in a toxic relationship. In this essay I will--
cuz ken represent how women feel in a male dominated world or in the movie case a barbie world, and how sweet boys become misogynistic when understanding about their benefits as a male, like when he went to the real world.
@@harinder13137 So how exactly the sweet boys become "misogynistic" all they did was enjoying their stuff, they didn´t force anything to the barbies, they wanted to help them and be romantic towards them even when they were on power, if anything, the movie shows that men are sweeter and more romantic than women...evenmore, that sex it´s the only women can do something with, take that away and...
@@Amleth89 ken when discovering the patriarchy he used it for his own benefits and tried controlling barbieland and brainwashing other barbies to liking them, going into the red pill side of youtube in a way. Barbieland also representation of the roles reverse but its not as harsh as the real world, kens aren't treated as badly, just ken the main one had struggling to communicate his feelings to barbie. Hes literally the representation of sweet boys turning into misogynistic pigs. Finally bro did u even watched the movie or u just hated becuz its a barbie movie. Also ur less sentence does not make sense.
@harinder13137 you really think the kens have it better in barbieland than women in real America? I understand why you like this movie, it speaks to your delusions. Secondly are the kens a representation of women or sweet boys that turn bad? You can't have both unless you want to tell us feminism and women's liberation are evil and misandrist.
I think the reason the movie is doing so well is that it’s not that people like the opinions of the movie, instead they were sold the lie that this movie would be family friendly. I think next weekend will be a better judge of how good this movie is doing.
no us women like the movie because it speaks truth on higher levels but the validation for our experiences is still there, to you its stupid but to us its worth crying for
@@ema-db9risure it is I’m a girl not a woman yet but all it shows to me is that she’s a hypocrite … If women don’t like being treated a certain way why would you treat someone else that way that sounds more hypocritical than anything
I think the opening weekend was because they did a lot of work to mostly hide what actually was going to happen in the movie. Which means lots of people going for a fun barbie movie that's good for the kids. Which is absolutely worse than anything else about it.
Its pretty gross how Barbie marketing hide all the divisive feminist nonsense, tricking so many into going to it expecting fun. I'll be curious to see the second week numbers. I expect once people actually see how preachy the film is, it will drop drastically.
None of the men I know who have seen it mentioned anything about how preachy it was, they also liked She-hulk. I think there are an awful lot of feminists out there and that this film will unfortunately make serious dough.
@@DaNinja60 That first trailer was enough for me. Little girls seemingly abandoning the idea of becoming mothers when they grow up, and throwing their "babies" away, presumably so they can grow up to be women who concentrate on themselves, their looks, and their careers? Yep... One can only hope that the movie really does drop fast after the first few weeks. I suppose it's possible there will be lots of young girls and teens, plus older Barbie fans, who will want to see it just because it's a live-action Barbie movie with a big budget and the trailers make it look like fun, and who are not much aware of the whole woke thing - there presumably still are a lot of adults who have not really noticed, maybe have heard the word but think it's merely some sort of right-wing nonsense propaganda - and are able to even enjoy that type of movies because they don't really manage to see the preaching, and those are the ones who will go and see it. But they are probably the ones who will go during the first week, or at most, a couple of weeks. So one can hope that the movie will not have legs.
@@DaNinja60 yeah I don't think a lot of people realized that baby bashing and them criticizing the pregnant barbie was a nudge at promoting aborotions and a general disregard to motherhood and babies, which is such a fucked up thing to preach. I can't believe this has to be said but girls please don't curbstomp your babies when you grow up
@@pohjanakka4992 Not even just young girls and barbie fans, lots of fathers, and son's were dragged along as well, you could only imagine how awkward the drive home must of been afterward
We really are living in the "hold my beer" era of terrible entertainment. Just when you think you've seen the worst that Hollywood has to offer, another depressingly toxic product gets dumped onto our screens.
Disparu HAS ARRIVED!!! "if you do go and see them back to back don't watch Oppenheimer first because the effect of going into Barbie afterwards is like having your mother's funeral invaded by a flash mob of barking circus clowns...go and see Barbie first because after you've suffered through Barbie watching the world burn will take the edge off."
I think the only reason it's doing well (For now) is that they had disingenuous marketing. I think people went in thinking it was going to be a dumb, fun, family movie. Instead it was a feature length Gillette ad. 🤮
Pretty disappointed about this one. I fully planned on double-booking my Friday with a Barbie-Oppenheimer marathon, but I read a lot of reviews about Barbie that put up some huge red flags. Thought maybe they were over-exaggerating, and Friday rolled around with me dragging my dad and brother to go see Barbie, since it'd be shorter and I was in the mood to see something fun rather than heavy, figured to watch Oppenheimer the next day. On the way to the theater, I saw a plot breakdown of Barbie, and realized just how bad it was and how true the reviews were. Disappointedly just decided to see Oppenheimer instead and cut out Barbie altogether (which was *not* a disappointment and I walked away so, so glad I'd picked to see Oppenheimer instead, it's a *masterpiece* ). Still, I was really looking forward to a stupid, goofy comedy as there haven't been a lot in recent cinema. Bummed that I'll have to wait even longer to go see one.
It is not an exaggeration Barbie is actual feminist propaganda from start to finish, it feels weird Hollywood doesn't even care keeping appearances anymore. But don't take my word for it, it's available to watch for free, it is the wokest blockbuster in the history of Hollywood, by a margin
Why? Why are people still giving money to hollywood? There are better ways to spend your time and money than on an industry that avtively hates you. I dont understand how after the past few years ANYONE would give these p.edos a dime.
When I was a young girl, I played with Barbie dolls. I grew up with the cgi movies. When I saw the trailer for this movie, I knew something was wrong. Glad to know my clairvoyance for absolute clown car sh*t is still a thing.
All girls should see this film. Hollywood needs their money to build more similar products. Every boy should see this film. At least they would unerstand why education system is lying to them.
@ramsa01Yt not gonna pay for the corporate stooges at all. I would recommend for children that someone teach them the cautionary tale of this propaganda film.
Barbie is such an interesting thing to analyse, unlike normal woke movies it didn't put it's agenda in the marketing and trailers, add that with the SAGS strike the actors weren't allowed to publically promote the movie (though they did get get a word in a few weeks ago), and to further add to Barbie's numbers there was a Barbieheimer meme that went viral. I genuinely think this was lightening in a bottle, actors can't help themselves but virtue signal so they were shut up defacto by being on strike which helped the marketing, studio's should be taking notes.
This is the first significant female IP to get hit with the woke mind virus. Many male IPs have been gender-swapped and wokified. I think the real rage against Woke Hollywood is just starting bc now Hollywood is going to wreck (has been wrecking) Disney Princesses, Barbie, and other female IPs.
You can legitimately tell people, "Yeah I have a side hustle: I watch streaming TV AND I go to cinemas -- that's enough, right?" That's enough work for anyone.
This is all incredibly depressing. I don't understand why people can't realize that people are made to have relationships and love one another. We are meant to have secure family units. People claim to have read 1984, but if they had, they would know that totalitarians hate families, because a family unit loves itself more than it loves the new world order. I've read about communist women briefly continue Chinese customs for their families when Red China condemned tradition as evil. I've seen women give up communism entirely once they had children, because through childrearing they learned to understand the real world. Families give men something to protect and to be loyal to. If we destroy families, we destroy life.
That's the point of these neo-marxist 4th wave misandrist feminist ideology cultists. They are chaos wizards here to destroy civilization with dangerous group think.
I live in Sweden but I think if we or the US ever get in a war, young men will be far less willing to sacrifice themselves than they hope as they have no wives or children to protect. Also they won't work very hard to have a good income either.
Whilst I don’t necessarily agree with you about how we are ‘meant’ to have relationships & families, I don’t agree that hating on those things is stupid. I don’t understand hating men & empowering women above them in society, why can’t they push the message of equality instead… :(
Andre from Midnight's Edge said "I would rather see Ghostbusters 2016 a thousand times over on repeat than see Barbie a second time." Not exactly a flattering review.
Barbie sounds like a brilliant film, perfectly outlining the Feminist Manifesto perfectly, for the whole world to see. This is exactly what they believe, exactly what they imagine the world is like, and what they're imagining the end goal can be. There's nothing quite like a lunatic giving the rest of us fair warning.
I'd like to ask what was the end goal for you guys? Going to space to watch the billionaires vacation there? Killing and destroying each other in senseless wars? Defiling the planet instead of learning how to protect it?
That's not true. Taking some radical narcissistic people and saying that their beliefs are a representation of feminism is the same as calling radical religious fanatics "true representatives of Christianity". Blanket statements are not realistic. Women are not a hive mind. Feminists are not a hive mind. I am a woman and consider myself a feminist, and I am annoyed and perplexed by the messaging of Barbie as much as the next person.
Anyone who believes that women will let men have their fair share once they believe they've had theirs is smoking magic grass. That's not how irrational entitled female victimhood works.
the so called "success" has nothing to do with this crappy movie, just the fact millions of people are willing to see any shit with that doll's name in the title. That's all.
it is doing well coz it an enjoyable movie for its target audience. I never once understood why action movies do well either, coz I aint the target audience. I get that some guys have an issue understanding that a movie about a plastic doll was not made for them, but....yeah it wasnt made for yall...that is all it is. I dont go into an action movie expecting a female actor to get more than 5 lines per hour, and yall shoudl have not gone into a Barbie movie expecting it to give any value to Ken either.
@@I_like_turtles_67 I love when people are trying to disprove a point via picking 1 example that is not even an actual action movie first, its sci-fi with action in it. But okay lets go out fo the genre - 12 angry men, you dont here peopel bitching about it having literally 0 females in it...Honestly people say women bitch a lot, but if we actually took everyhting as personally as some guys do then we d honestly constantly just fight each other, coz reality is - yes there are a TON of movies out there with NO female cast (you can google a list of dozen movies that have no females), or just stupid female cast and while some crazy people make a big deal out of it, it aint anywhere close to the outrage a Barbie movie created...
@@NerdilyDone Unfortunately, Douglas Gresham, who is one of Lewis' remaining living stepsons and an executive producer on these new adaptations, seems to be ok with whatever choices are being made right now. "Netflix seems to be the very best medium with which to achieve this aim, and I am looking forward to working with them towards this goal." I'm fine with her directing, I just don't want her writing.
I think Barbie's biggest problem is that instead of the political messaging being something that comes naturally through the characters and story, the characters and story feel like they were made specifically for this political messaging, and suffice to say, I would definitely prefer the former. I don’t feel like I’m watching a movie about a Barbie girl in a Barbie world, I feel like I’m watching an hour-long lecture about the struggles of women, featuring Barbie, and a lecture is NOT something your movie should be like.
I also want to say I had realistic baby dolls from an early age and Barbies, and they were never in competition with each other. Baby dolls were for playing Mama, and Barbie was aspirational fashion. Not one person thought we'd have her proportions, we just enjoyed the fashion and what we could aspire to sorta be. I'm 39, this was the norm growing up. The dolls today are still all about fashion, the only difference being the woke adults shaming young girls into not playing with baby dolls.
True, guys don't understand, different dolls mean different complex play time scenarios lol and when you get to be a slightly older child, the pretty lady doll is a bit more appealing because that's what a child would gravitate to naturally in a real person
My favourite review of Barbie is the one by The Critical Drinker, when he said Barbie is like a serial killer in a Pikachu costume, cute on the outside, dark and sinister on the inside....
they almost said something of worth with ken confronting barbie about how he's been treated, but no. restore the status quo, rule with an iron fist, and keep the second class in its rightful place under your bootheel. use the third class against them if you can. that's what we got instead.
I loved when Ken told Barbie “This isn’t your Barbie house. This is the Ken dojo casa…Hurts, doesn’t it?” I was like “Yes! Now she knows how it feels!” And by the end, when she apologized to Ken, I had to applaud her for the amount of accountability she had. It may not have been much, but it was more than what any other woman character had (or has had in many shows).
@@basementbrotherscollectibles Because they don't respect him. Everyone more or less ignores his existence. They should, but since they didn't have an awakening like the OG barbie did, they won't.
It was a husband-wife duo who wrote the movie (Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach). I just can't imagine writing this movie with my wife or gf and not feeling like a shell of a man lol
@@CJStew06 Makes some sense why Ken gets a weird amount of sympathetic writing. “I’m Just Ken” is a weirdly effective cry for help of a man trapped in a feminist utopia.
This film is turning out to be one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) bait-and-switches in cinematic history, but we'll see where the box office numbers lie next week, I guess. 😕 I also feel sorry for any single fathers with daughters who are being dragged to see it, but not as much for those who are taking them willingly. 🤨
I am the target demographic for the babrie movie. I collect dolls. I have since i was a child in the 90s. My hype for this movie was big. Then they opened their their mouths. Now, I'm telling the other women i know not to go.
Have you noticed that Hollywood won’t give us any decent (i.e., non-political) comedies anymore? Methinks they want us depressed... and thus easier to manipulate through emotion/despair
Yep the woke left killed comedy. They want everyone miserable like them. They intimidated people into not telling jokes. THATS RAYYCESS!! THATS PHOBIC!!!! THATS MISOGYNY! It's only cool to make fun of Males, (white of course) and Christians. Destroy the west at all costs. If we create a parallel hollywood, 1-2 comedy movies a month in theaters could come back, and we could be allowed to laugh again.
I don’t want to watch Barbie, even with Margot Robbie in it, but I can’t imagine how repulsive this movie could be with Amy Schumer of all people in the leading role
You totally misunderstood the film, no part of it advocates hatred for men, barbie never hates men, its funny to see how many anti-woke people losing their minds like snowflakes because of a few jokes against men here and there. Jokes =/= hatred
@@davidthommeny2510 dude she was already a "radical" feminist, when she was becoming popular she had multiple careers, at that time women just had one job or were just a housewife. Thats why it was easy, shes already a feminist icon.
This movie is so in your face and heavy handed with it's cultural message that I can't decide if it's actually convinced of the tripe it's spewing or if it's taking the piss to such a colossal degree that you can't tell for sure
This movie seems to have a built-in defense mechanism where if you call it out for bad storytelling or confusing themes, the response is "well it's not a serious movie! It's a movie about dolls, it's silly!" And yet, everything about the movie wants the audience to cheer it as an empowering anthem of inclusion.
That’s Poe’s Law for you: “an honest example of extremism is often indistinguishable from parody.” For my money, there was nothing satirical about this movie. This sludge is what the filmmakers believe and what they want suggestible children to walk away with.
sounds like it, a guidebook on how to control your male partner and the tools available to emotionally manipulate and gaslight him if he happens to realise what is happening. Also seems like it wants to tell people that if men are happy you need to put an end to it because it's.. oppression(?) to have equality and peace as it devalues the tools(/weapons) that would otherwise be an advantage for you (the woman). Fuck knows, it sounds weird. I almost can't believe it isn't satire tbh
Ok, but men use masculinity to control women-that's pretty undeniable throughout history. I wish people would have a more realistic view of human behavior, and that "promiscuity" is really just curiosity and desire, and it's perfectly normal for people to not repress themselves.
It seems awfully suspicious that the box office numbers, for Barbie, are coming in well before the other movies. This weekend, the numbers for Barbie were even coming in the day before and morning of. All the while, Barbie sank to a 7 on IMDB, 75% on rotten tomatoes, and 5.3 on metacritic.
I hope that's an ironic kudos. I find it even more sinister that they would hide what their movie is really about and as bad as stuff like She-Hulk and Velma were, at least you knew what to expect with those.
The reality is that Barbie is going to be a box office bomb. They spent a shitload of money on marketing, and their budget was 145 million. They haven't broken even yet. If they have a huge drop-off, the film won't break even on the grounds that it can't even be shown in 2/3rds of countries around the world
Not sure if it's going to be a bomb yet. But parents should think of giving Mattel the budwisser effect. Hiding what this movie is really about is very, very disgusting.
I was one of the duped movie watchers. I regret the lack of discernment. I thought Little Women was decent so i figured Greta wouldnt go this hard. I was so so so wrong.
I just watched the creative team behind "Barbie" when they produced "White Noise" together. Now that is a European-style, meandering romp that takes itself very unseriously. Apparently they've been drawn to the dark side.
Me too. In hindsight, I should've known better. But the marketing got me. I was really hoping this movie was just a fun joyride. I'm so tired of the culture wars, I just want to be entertained dammit!
@@nineblessednineadorednined9214 I thought Gerwig's _Little Women_ looked like a mess just based on the trailers and never bothered with the whole movie. Jo was running around NYC in men's clothes. The girls all looked the same age. Friedrich didn't look much older than Jo, and apparently the movie leaves it ambiguous if he even existed. Saoirse Ronan just doesn't look like Jo to me - Winona Ryder was perfect for the role. And while Timothy Chalamet has a unique look, his version of Laurie seems like a dweeb compared to Christian Bale's portrayal. Honestly, Little Women 2019 is a movie with no real need to exist.
@@talithakoum3922 You got it because they didn't bother hiding the agenda the way they did with Barbie. It's borderline disrespectful to the story. Still, it's worth watching maybe just once for the same reason it's worth watching Barbie at least once. You can appreciate them the same way you can appreciate Nazi propaganda films, as lessons in history. In both movies they can't ruin the source material, no matter how hard they try, but it's interesting to see how hard they try.
Be rebellious and revolutionary: find a spouse, marry them, have some kids, don't sacrifice your relationships to your job, live as happily ever after as you can. ❤
I get the feeling that thanks to the impeccable marketing this movie's going to get a gargantuan amount of money initially, then sales fall off the cliff in a week's time.
Well that is what third wave feminism and wokism are all about. You can see they use “newspeak” in inventing new terms and changing the meaning/definition of old words, the alteration and rewriting of history etc. etc. Orwell called it.
I'll be interested to see what the drop-off is for the second weekend. If it doesn't drop tremendously, it means there's a market for it - which does not bode well for society at large.
I suspect Barbie will fool people the same way Lion King did. It has all the right references and cues to fool you into thinking it's that familiar, beloved brand you grew up with, when in reality it bears about as much resemblance to the original property as croc shoes do to an actual crocodilian.
22:13 "Had to take her own insecurities, her own problems that she had caused and ruin everybody else's life." An excellent summary of modern feminism.
Poor parents taking their kids to the cinema thinking they are going to watch a colorfull kids movie. That's why you are supposed to wait for other people to see it first.
The message is worst, is lie to men that love you in order to gain some "power" The scene when they switch kens, that´s the worst message you can give to teenagers...girls and boys will keep trashing girls that do that xD
You this show has opened my eyes it showed me that I owed all the barbie girl animated series an apology compared to the movie the animated movies won't so bad
Which is an admission of guilt and shame, they know what they are doing is wrong, they admitted it Compare that to trump who just said what he felt, no filter I know who I'd prefer ...
Barbie review because once you've already done She-Hulk and Velma, this was just more of the same. I think some people were a bit surprised by the content, but it really was just the same ideas and values I've covered before. What's more fun, were the reviews. People going to see Barbie and Oppenheimer back to back I can't imagine was very popular, but the memes were. And Barbie is shaping up to be an incredible success.
So as Greta Gerwig's Barbie manages to pull in the crowds with Margot Robbie, and it's supporters are happy that "the right" people don't like it. You have to ask, is this movie beneficial for even the ones who like it? What are your thoughts, let me know down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
Fix your spelling: Barbie hates ITS audience
13:09 Well said dude
disparu make sure to GO IN on them when the second week drop off is wiiiiiild !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From what I hear, Barbie is next-level even compared to She-Hulk and Velma! The message (targeted at little girls) seems to be that women can never be safe or happy, unless men are stripped of all rights and thoroughly subjugated by their superior-in-every-way matriarchal overlords! This is no ordinary man-hating trash!
Considerin the oftenness of your postins, I must guess that you scarcely ever do else.

@prunelle9068 which movie and scenes? We'll wait.
Come on, this is movie marketing 101. Every Tarantino movie was billed as action/adventure/comedy, even though we all knew it was going to be 90% dialogue and 10% homage to something we didn't see. That was just because they didn't want people to think it was boring. But it's standard practice. This is a new beast. A fake double feature kind of looks looks like they didn't want people to think anything at all, just feel excited. Thinking about it for even a second reveals how little sense it makes. 100% marketing sleazery. They're roping in Nolan and his ilk, who just want to make great movies, and using their work to force people to pay for more vapid pseudo-moralizing. The snake is eating its own tail. But it's a vampire ouroboros. Digesting itself.
@@prunelle9068 Was there? I watched both of them and Roadblock didn't take 5 minutes of screen time to complain how women don't know how hard it is to be a man or see a bunch of reviews saying how sexist both movies were. If you can post links to those myriad of reviews, I'd be happy to read them and retract what I just said in my last two posts.
That's because of the marketing. The marketing was a fun-filled comedy. The movie itself is a dystopian nightmare about the patriarchy.
It caught me by surprise (watched it for free btw) how overtly woke this movie is, it is trying to hide absolutely nothing, it is an actual feminist indoctrination manifesto

@@ArcanumAscentSo Barbie is a feminazi project
As someone who grew up playing with barbies, the reason Ken was largely neglected wasn't because we saw him as lesser-than. It was because we were too busy embracing the pure femininity of barbie! The clothes, the hair, the house, shopping, choosing her career and yes pursuing Ken was all part of the fun. It was about using our imagination to make barbie into the woman we'd want to be. Of course, when you're little you don't think about all that but in hindsight that's what a lot of us were subconsciously doing when playing with barbie.

If our society wouldn't completly crumble, I woud honestly like to see the feminists have it their way. Have all men quit their jobs that uphold the system as they do. It will be interesting to see how fast the system can crash and burn.
Don't get me wrong: I am not saying women don't do anything or can't do anything, but the disconnect on how much men do and how important they are for society (not only for the survival of the human race) would be an interesting lesson. Would also be interesting to see how many woman actually then would take the side of men, you know, those women that see the world with a bit more realism.
Barbie could have been a fun girly adventure movie. Instead it was more depressing than Oppenheimer.
yeah they really could of made it like a early 2000 comedy movie

I'm 35 and my two daughters are 16 & 17. I have seen almost every Barbie movie and tv show. This is one I'm definitely passing on.
Barbie and The Three Musketeers is top shelf for me. I think I have seen it at least 1000 times.
@@sonoftheredfoxgood taste.
I doubt I would warn my daughters about "the message" and try to explain it to them using the movie as example. You are not protecting your kids, only making them vulnerable about "the message".
But Ryan Gosling is in it...
Huge pass for me as well. I watched almost all the Barbie movies with my daughters as well. But like everything else they are changing Barbie like all other classics. So I don’t care who is in it I go to the movies for the storyline not the actors.
Ken wasn’t just Barbie’s door mat. Ken was Barbie’s everything. He would talk to her be there for her help her . She would help him. They were best friends . he done just as many careers as Barbie as well. I think the woman who made it treated her ken like crap. Poor guy.
The problem is that the movie follows the real life development of the Barbie doll which in its time was very problematic.
Imagine making a movie where the slaves are the villains for wanting to be free.
(Note: This quote summarizing the message of the Barbie movie is properly attributed to Noah Sprague Studios, from a Midnight's Edge livestream.)
They arent "the villains" Outside of how "the patriarchy" Is potrayed badly,
The movie also shows Barbie land isnt good either
I don't think it has anything to do with them being slaves or not, they simple have dingling bits and that it is what makes them villains, especially if they are cis, white and heterosexual.
Oh good, so I'm not the only person seeing this pattern...

*BULL. **_SHIT._*
Stuff like this and Velma seem genuinely ACTIVELY hateful. You watch something like "I Spit On Your Grave" or "Last House On The Left" or any of the other violent, exploitative cinema of yesteryear and you still don't feel anywhere near the level of raw, seething contempt for humanity you get oozing off of this nonsense. Its unreal.
There is now a generation that has been indoctrinated with extreme feminist rage. I've heard young women contemptuously calling a pregnant woman a "breeder" and a "slave to the patriarchy" for having a loving husband. The future of humanity is looking fairly shaky I must say.
@@dalemanolas5994 it's what happens when you give insecure women any power whatsoever
lol you call a barbie film hateful
Aren’t “I spit on your grave” and “last house on the left” movies where men violently assaulted young girls… ? And you call those movies actively hateful towards… men?? There something very wrong in the way you think. What you call actively hateful is when the men dies and the woman survive?? You see hates in a Barbie movie or in Velma… you have a problem with women perspective, if you switch genders would you call it hateful?
@@Devi_Seona Perhaps I didn't explain it well enough. While LHOTL and ISOYG have miserable content they're still just sleazy, exploitative movies that really just try to make you uncomfortable and gross you out. If you watch the Kaling Velma series, there is a GENUINE hatred for EVERYONE in its writing. I wasn't defending the fictional actions of either of those movies. I was merely stating that the thought processes behind them were nowhere nearly as spiteful. The gender thing is incidental. Wes Craven wasn't actively trying to make a movie that openly stated entire groups of people are bad. I don't have a problem with the feminine perspective and I would absolutely call it hateful if someone spent millions of dollars to make a movie or show that actively held an unabashed contempt for women. I'm not talking about something mildly unflattering about a specific character in the narrative. I mean something like 70% of the "jokes" overtly and actively saying how mean, stupid, incompetent, but still somehow in control of everything, or any of the other awful propaganda. You can say something truly awful and wrap it in a bright neon package. Some people are masters of Trojan Insults.
They missed an opportunity to really delve into women's struggles too. They briefly touched on beauty expectations, but did they show the Barbies taking their makeup off, or being okay with not looking perfect all of the time? No. They'll tell young women we don't need to look perfect, but then show the exact opposite. They aren't even prepared to actually be feminist, let alone treat men with respect
there is even a line by the narrator that using margot robbie to get that point across doesn't work, wich is funny cause it is lit them admitting that there is a logic behind the beauty standard and that pretty privilige basically exists lol
Did you guys watch the movie? It's messages are totally opposite to what you claim them to be.
Barbie becoming human is all about her accepting imperfections. She chooses to leave barbie land and accept cellulite, death, age, and having men in majority of power while also aggressively creep on you. It's better though then just never thinking about death and living in ignorant escapism in barbieland. The drinks are all fake, the ocean and pool are fake, she has no interest in relationships, every day is the same. In reality every day could be full of devastating humiliation and pain or unbelievable surprises and excitement.
I'm just genuinely impressed with the marketing team. They took the like 5 minutes of footage that wasn't hateful and spiteful and managed to COMPLETELY hide just how evil and woke this movie is. Bravo
Idk why everybody is saying that. If people didnt knew Barbie in 2023 was gonna be major woke, Idk what to tell them.
@popalhaco oh don't get Mr wrong, I knew it was gonna be Hella woke. But no one was expecting Margo Robbie to literally turn to the camera and read Gloria Steinam multiple times or have an entire race held in slavery and laughing about it
@@zephyrr108 Yeah, it's certainly not the first trailer that's hid quite a lot of things (see Kenobi, etc; even She Hulk's 2nd trailer made it look "good").

@@marychocolatefairy To be fair, for those who live in Asia, not everyone has Disney+ (it's not cheap and not many can afford having multiple subscription-based services). Also, woke culture isn't a thing there, so ppl won't be actively searching for clues of it. Most rely on trailers that show up in cinemas or word of mouth from friends/family who have watched it on the first week to make a decision whether to watch or not, not entertainment site new or YT commentary channels like this one. A lot of their ticket sales from Asia are going to be from those who expect the movie to be a "campy fun comedy" like how the trailers and promo events hyped it to be.
The reason they made so much was the fact, every girl would want to see it. The nefarious part is, they knew they could reach there target audience, ie, brainwash the children.
Yeah, Barbie is a very old, very beloved, very established IP. As long as it looks like the Barbieworld people grew up with (gotta emphasize those yellow skates), making the right references at the right times, the nostalgia will kick in and they'll love it without seeing it for what it is. It's like the Lion King remake, which fooled a massive amount of people into thinking they were actually watching the same movie they grew up with, when in reality they were watching something totally different.
They have tried to brainwash the boys with film like Peter Pan and Wendy and Shows like Velma and Willow but some might think they will have to wait a few years before that can be profitable so they for for the girls instead who are of course easy to manipulate.
the even more nefarious thing is that it is pg13 yet they marketed it to 7+8 year olds. pathetic!
Bingo
damn I feel bad for the lil boys who grow up paired with girls who literally despise them
I love how despite the feminist railings against patriarchy - the movie literally ends with the status quo of the Real World and BarbieLand being restored.
“Men get to run the real world, women you get to run fake imagination la la barbieland (which is actually being governed in the real world by a board of all men)”
If Hollywood thinks this is the green light, it's time to watch the money burn. The only reason Barbie got as far as it did is because of its inherent brand recognition and hiding the fact that it was going to be woke. But now that it's out there, it's possible were going to see a massive 2nd week drop.
I hope so 🤞
If there is not then say goodbye to civilization.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
No, it is EXACTLY what fms want to see. Good that Hollywood found this out. Now the writers strike is not a problem anymore.
Sadly I don't think it will drop on 2nd week.
The thing with wokeness is that it's something that usually affects men targeted products (gender swapping or race swapping etc). We are good at boycotting shit thrown at us. Women on the other hand is not. Especially if it's a product that is fully dominated by women (no man has any business liking Barbie).
Most women are very aligned with the films underline message so they won't actually boycott it, if anything it will amplify it.
Never underestimate a women's justification to hate on men.
This gets way more deep when you realize that Greta Gerwig has two kids, her most recent, a son, born in Feb 2023. Her husband, director Noah Baumbach, helped write the film and is given co-writer credit. What does this say about that family, and Greta's perception on it?
Sounds like Greta might be another Jada Smith. Prayers for those kids, especially the son. 😢🙏🕊️
It says that he didn't really write anything in the film, but it was a way to get him a paycheck as well.
I don’t think that they’re actually married, and he remains her partner, but yes, I definitely agree that this is terrible commentary about families.
It's too bad she lives in a patriarchy where it is literally impossible to be a woman, otherwise she might have accomplished something in life.
I don't quite understand OP's cooment
I at least appreciate how completely open most women are nowadays about how much they hate men.
It'd be nice if they faced consequences for their openness tho.
@@kungfuvoodoo9889 Well... They will.... the problem just is that we are ALL going to be part of this fall.
Men kind of build, maintained and protected the world and made it possible for women to even have this sheltered privileged lifestyle. But now that all hiring is based on DEI not skill... Shockingly everything is just falling apart, living standards are getting worse, and it's not getting any better... Cause we are not allowed to hire on merit. Nor encourage men to be great and do great things.
I am a woman saying this... We're SCREWED! And we're screwed because modern women are bitches and modern men are weak. And modern men are weak BECAUSE they are trying to appease these bitches that are never going to be happy.
Hell, the strongest men are usually strong because they do have a woman who pushes them in that direction. So yeah... Women guides men. And men accommodate women.... We need each other. And this total destruction of gender roles and hatred of one is going to be our undoing.

They def baited us to watch cuz of the cast, cuz ryan gosling is literally me
Rode that meme and voila they can say 'sucess'
no. it's that douchebag whiney dudebros can't understand it. it's making 300mil right now. go woke, go broke right?
They did the same thing with Rings Of -Power- Soy
Doesn’t matter. They watched it, made it a success and hence Hollywood will triple down on it. All Hollywood wanted is one success for this ideology to justify an abundance of more ideological movies. So yeah, more to come of this for a long, long time.
Ryan Gosling was a big part of the draw. Don't underestimate that.
Ken lived in a matriarchal world until he was shown what was possible by going to the real world. Within a short time period he was in Barbie land he completely
inverted society. He didn't spend decades complaining about a non existent wage gap, establish body positivity, start an OF account, receive government handouts & quotas, claim victimization, or push anti woman propaganda
through media. He just marched in and changed everything on a dime. Chad Ken 😂
For as woke as this movie is it's impressive how the marketing hid it's wokeness
They definitely did. It’s VERY woke.
Warner learned from Velma, and the Flash, and Shazam, and Black Adam.... They fired all those people and put on a soulless corpo that probably could have made people go out and buy anything
Exactly, the part that makes this movie different than She-Hulk and Velma is how disingenuous the marketing was, as well as the cast talking about it being feminist only for the studio to quickly snap back that it wasn't. It seems at some point during production they must have realized woke shit wasn't that popular and rather than doing reshoots they just decided to hide that stuff away from the trailers so that they could at least scam a wide audience into watching it the opening weekend.
Ok look, I'm a straight regular guy myself, and I am feeling EXAUSTED and almost INSULTED that ppl r going to a point where they close their minds enough to still think this movie is "Feminist Garbage" after watching the ending of this film.
I am INSULTED!!!!!!! It is a DISRESPECT to CINEMA.
It infuriates me how much pol these days r so obsessed w social media ideologies and memes and etc... To the point that they're willing to watch a FULL MOVIE only to Completly miss what the movie was actually made for, and then, DARING to BLAME THE MOVIE for being something that it's EXACTLY AGAINST. It is DISGUSTING to me.
It's like saying that "Beauty and the Beast" is a movie about Jugding People By their appearence, and calling it a "Superficial Garbage".
It is EXACTLY THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ppl aren't willing to take the time to ACTUALLY understand and ANALYSE a modern movie with THEIR OWN BRAINS... NO! Society made us tired of wokeness so now less just leave the analysing part to SOCIAL MEDIA.
You don't have to be a SMARTASS to understand that this movie is a SATIRYCAL COMEDY, which means, Every polotical subject that it's gonna contain explicitly in, WILL BE A SUBJECT THAT THE MOVIE IS CRITIQUING!
IT'S NOT THAT HARD!!!!! U just have to use UR OWN BRAIN and analyse it with UR OWN OPINION regarlessly of what Social Media Reports say. It's THAT SIMPLE.
The fact that some ppl r watching Barbie untill the end and can't understand that it's a movie that Uses both Feminism and Patriarchy, to MOCK IT, while the movie is MORE THAN EXPLICIT abt it, Genuenly BLOW MY MIND!!!!!!!!!! It actually makes me feel quiet Hopeless tbh. It males me feel like us Humans in General are becoming the most DUMBASS BEINGS ON EARTH bc of having everything Too Easy for us.
It's insanely FROSTRATING how some ppl just CANNOT appreciate GOOD CINEMA just bc of the Times it's being made (A.K.A. Barbie).
And yk what, I hope this movie makes a WHOLE LOTTA MONEY, I hope pll who watched it amd liked it will rewatch it countless times (I for sure will) and I hope it gets TONS of Oscar Noms and WINS majority of them.
Maybe it could make some ppl actually give it try and use their Brain-Cells, without Social Media Influence.
I actually expected ppl to finally stop being pessimistic abt cinema with this movie, that they would actually see how good cinema STILL EXISTS and how AMAZING it is, but no, what was I thinking, silly me! Agreeing with Social Media Moovements is more important. If this continues going on, one day cinema will End Completely, and we're gonna look back at this time and see all the amazing movies we decided to SHIT ON, JUST FOR THE SAKE OF IT, like this one, and we'll say "Well, those were actually pretty good movies. Those actually made some history!" But it will be too late, bc we didn't enjoy the last good movies while we still had them... Why? Bc SOCIAL MEDIA CREATED A TREND MOVEMENT AGAINST POST COVID MOVIES😑😑😑😑😑
I mean come on, was it really “Hidden”. In this day and age you should have known it was going to be a Feminazi woke monstrosity of an hour and a half long insult. If you didn’t see this coming, you haven’t been paying attention to Hollywood since 2018.
A lot of the excitement around Barbie is around people dressing up for the film in all pink, and wearing pink purses. All intended to be innocent fun and a summer moment. However I don’t think anyone who was excited about the dressing up was aware this was a politically charged movie.
Or who the "villian" was going to be.
I came in to it just expecting a fun and campy film and just ignored all the political stuff so I could have fun.
Dude the women in my family went to go see Barbie. I’ve never seen them so pissed off. My mom took my sister’s along with some other women in my family to see it and she was so mad that they hid the actual nature of the movie and called it the worst thing she’s ever watched saying that she couldn’t believe she had to actually explain to my 10 year old sister on the way home why Barbie acted the way she did and why treating men like the enemy helps nobody. My mom hates politics especially when geared towards kids so she was fuming.
Get 'em while they're young! Religions know this already for ages.
And they didn't walk out when they realized what the movie was?
@@PaulaBean you mean churches, temples, shrines, ect do this. The act of religion is solely based on spreading compassion and the consequences of being evil. Religion in of itself isn’t a bad thing where as this just straight up teaches hate and intolerance. This is an important difference because I’ve heard countless people bitch about religion solely through word of mouth and propaganda rather then anything actually in the Bible.
@@TheRealQuinten Read Numeri 31. Not really a story about compassion.
Why did she took 10 year old to a PG13 movie tho?
“Barbie is a world where type bs hold every position of power and anyone who has dangly bits just exists to serve them” is the type of hyperbole I could see Disparu using as a joke, but that’s literally the actual plot of the movie.
And that's the way feminists want things.

Why does a movie need to have a message nowadays? Can't we just have a fun and entertaining movie for a change?
That’s not how demoralization works.
Movies had always had a message but the education system has dumbed generations down so it is more obvious
I haven't seen it but some have said that is why Mario bros was such a hit. I for one liked Luck, the animated film John Lasseter made when he had left Pixar (where he had been chief creative officer for their good movies).
@@manoz6194 Also the messages used to be more universal and positive, like "a parent will do extraordinary things to save their child and that's heroic," or "anyone, even the least outwardly heroic people, can defeat evil and save the day." I'm specifically referencing Aliens and Lord of the Rings here, but I'm sure other people were thinking of other movies that have similar messages too.
We only have John Wick left.
A gripe I have with the film is that it doesn't really talk about all the positive impacts Barbie has had on girls(and some guys) only the negatives and I feel that's damaging.

Who knew I could go to a Barbie review and get an amazing description of the correct role for an older woman: "How she looks as she ages doesn't matter anymore. It becomes about passing on your wisdom. You're meant to use that to teach the next generation..." That was brilliant. Thank you.
If you could pin that as a “correct role for an older man”, that would work too.
As someone whose seen the movie. Alot of the anti-man, feminist shit went way over peoples' heads. Women clapped whenever Ryan Gosling was on screen and it was crickets for the other cast. I guarantee that the women who left rhe movie hating men are the ones that went into the theatre already hating men. The woke message was so hard i believe that most audiences took it as parody.
🤔🧐🙃👍
because it was parody
This is why it's hard to spread their messaging that way. Stories only convey truth. Trying to make a comprehensible movie about an incoherent philosophy doesn't work. The only way to get the message is to be looking for it and be so singleminded that it's all you see and the inconsistencies don't bother you
@@ashwhite8610Uh huh. Sure.
It's not targeted towards smart and/or thinking people. The more you think about it the less sense it makes (as we see in videos/reviews of several critics).
Instead it brainwashes ordinary (not thinking much) people with subconscious messages "men are horrible", "feminism is the way". Ofc, it brainwashes.young girls the most, breaking them at their core values forever.
I think Critical Drinker summed this movie up the best when he referred to it as "A serial killer wearing a pikachu costume".
The better marketing teams get at hiding "the message" the more audiences will skip opening weekends and wait until others can tell them what the movies are really like.
There's too many idiots on our side praising Arcane despite is pure woke feminazi rainbow flag cringe from Netflix just because Of *'mUh goOD StOrY'*
I think the more likely result is that Theater gets killed off. Well more than how dead it is now.
And streaming goes full swing with Theater in the nostalgic dumps along with BlockBuster
I think men have already adopted this stance which explains the box office results of Indiana Jones 5 and The flash. I think women in general have much fewer problems with modern films as they are perhaps more part of what the filmmakers call the moderna audiences that they make modern film for.
It's really kind of an arms race, coming up with new ways to get the audience to look at (and more importantly pay for) your trash while the audience comes up with new methods of avoiding it.
I mean they had a trans Barbie and everyone knew that before the movie came out. Did people need further confirmation that this movie is woke?
I think it's sad to think that so many parents took their children to see a movie about a popular children's toy, just to realise this is not for children but for bitter single feminists...😔
It IS for kids.
It's propaganda to generate the NEXT generation of radical feminists.
I just think it's weird that the trend of ignoring PG-13 ratings and just assuming a movie is for children because of a brand or actor that's in it has reared its ugly head again.
I mean, the other part is also sad, but I really don't get what people have against reading the movie's rating.
@@Zara-Bari 1. Movies receive PG-13 ratings for a whole host of reasons. Some children under 13 are capable of dealing with SOME situations, but those situations need to be explained accurately.
2. Many of the reasons people don't want to take their kids to see this have nothing to do with WHY it received its rating.
@@DeadlyPlatypus, no, I get that, but I do think that it's odd how people get carried away by a certain brand or actor and ignore the ratings because of it.

As a young woman, I hated this movie-I didn't know what to expect and I didn't want to watch reviews because I was worried about spoilers. Needless to say, it would've saved me 2 hours of my life if I had just not gone.
It wasn't very funny-I only laughed once and it was because of Ryan Gosling's portrayal of Ken. I didn't think the message about feminism was witty, it was bare bones and VERY VERY lazy. I understand that the movie was pretty much satire, but isn't satire supposed to be funny? I'm also tired of hearing the same message over and over: "Men suck, women powerful!"
I don't believe woman have to be just like men in order to be empowered, I believe anyone can do whatever they want. A woman can do a man's job and a man can do a woman's job. However, why can't women just be women in movies nowadays? It's almost like having charm, vanity, and being a mother/provider is suddenly a bad trait to have if you're a woman, but isn't that what separates us from men? I don't even hate men-I don't know why they're painted in such a bad way. Yes, both men and women have their bad apples, but why is it that ALL men are trash in media? I don't get it...
This would have been good if Barbie realized how lonely and miserable and unappreciated the Kens had been in Barbieland and decided to seek balance between the Barbies and Kens and set an example for the Real World.
But what do I know. I don't have my head lodged in my colon.
Being cold as hell, they could never do that...Ken was an accessory for barbie like...forever.
I'm starting tithing that Barbie as concept its litterally a breaking point of Feminist ideology.
Hey so um, question did you watch it? Cus my gf watched it and from what she got..that’s actually what happened? They all realized the kens simply needed sometbing to do and everyone to be more or less equal right? Or am I missing a major plot point that she didn’t tell me or missed?

Rick Sanchez, an interdimensional travelling scientist, confirms that!
I'm still hung up on the opening scene, little kids do *not* just naturally treat baby dolls that way unless there is something deeply and severely wrong with them psychologically. The fact that a woman who actually has a little baby was not only willing but hellbent on coaching small children to do this makes me extremely concerned for that baby. She should give it to me, the rancid c*nt will probably just eat it if she's allowed to keep it.
Yeah, it was 100% an attack on motherhood and pro-abortion to pursue materialism imagery. If it were just about kids preferring the pretty doll over the baby doll they could have just dropped the dolls they werent interested in anymore.
@@anon2752 That's typically what little kids do when they outgrow playing with baby dolls and transition to Barbies, they generally just stop playing with the baby dolls.

Great Gerwig's "Barbie" is subversive in that it's the first summer blockbuster, possibly ever, to show a male abuse victim, trapped in "Barbieland" as he struggles to find his own identity in a toxic relationship. In this essay I will--

Secondly are the kens a representation of women or sweet boys that turn bad? You can't have both unless you want to tell us feminism and women's liberation are evil and misandrist.
I think the reason the movie is doing so well is that it’s not that people like the opinions of the movie, instead they were sold the lie that this movie would be family friendly. I think next weekend will be a better judge of how good this movie is doing.
no us women like the movie because it speaks truth on higher levels but the validation for our experiences is still there, to you its stupid but to us its worth crying for
@@ema-db9riThat’s why every women that I spoke to that watched it, Hates it?!? This sounds like a misleading leftist propaganda movie, imho
so far the movie is doing good, and i think u can tell when the barbie got groped in one of the trailers that it will be for an older audience.
@@ema-db9risure it is I’m a girl not a woman yet but all it shows to me is that she’s a hypocrite … If women don’t like being treated a certain way why would you treat someone else that way that sounds more hypocritical than anything
So far, so good! Barely any drop off, reached 800m, expected a billion in the next week or so
I think the opening weekend was because they did a lot of work to mostly hide what actually was going to happen in the movie. Which means lots of people going for a fun barbie movie that's good for the kids.
Which is absolutely worse than anything else about it.
It’s a despicable action to be sure, but I have to give them props for how well they did it.
Its pretty gross how Barbie marketing hide all the divisive feminist nonsense, tricking so many into going to it expecting fun.
I'll be curious to see the second week numbers. I expect once people actually see how preachy the film is, it will drop drastically.
None of the men I know who have seen it mentioned anything about how preachy it was, they also liked She-hulk. I think there are an awful lot of feminists out there and that this film will unfortunately make serious dough.
It began with bashing baby dolls. How strong is that as a hidden message? They put down the pregnant Barbie? wtf?
@@DaNinja60 That first trailer was enough for me. Little girls seemingly abandoning the idea of becoming mothers when they grow up, and throwing their "babies" away, presumably so they can grow up to be women who concentrate on themselves, their looks, and their careers? Yep...
One can only hope that the movie really does drop fast after the first few weeks. I suppose it's possible there will be lots of young girls and teens, plus older Barbie fans, who will want to see it just because it's a live-action Barbie movie with a big budget and the trailers make it look like fun, and who are not much aware of the whole woke thing - there presumably still are a lot of adults who have not really noticed, maybe have heard the word but think it's merely some sort of right-wing nonsense propaganda - and are able to even enjoy that type of movies because they don't really manage to see the preaching, and those are the ones who will go and see it. But they are probably the ones who will go during the first week, or at most, a couple of weeks. So one can hope that the movie will not have legs.
@@DaNinja60 yeah I don't think a lot of people realized that baby bashing and them criticizing the pregnant barbie was a nudge at promoting aborotions and a general disregard to motherhood and babies, which is such a fucked up thing to preach. I can't believe this has to be said but girls please don't curbstomp your babies when you grow up
@@pohjanakka4992 Not even just young girls and barbie fans, lots of fathers, and son's were dragged along as well, you could only imagine how awkward the drive home must of been afterward
We really are living in the "hold my beer" era of terrible entertainment.
Just when you think you've seen the worst that Hollywood has to offer, another depressingly toxic product gets dumped onto our screens.
Never thought supposed men would call Barbie depressingly toxic
Disparu HAS ARRIVED!!! "if you do go and see them back to back don't watch Oppenheimer first because the effect of going into Barbie afterwards is like having your mother's funeral invaded by a flash mob of barking circus clowns...go and see Barbie first because after you've suffered through Barbie watching the world burn will take the edge off."
I think the only reason it's doing well (For now) is that they had disingenuous marketing.
I think people went in thinking it was going to be a dumb, fun, family movie. Instead it was a feature length Gillette ad. 🤮
Pretty disappointed about this one. I fully planned on double-booking my Friday with a Barbie-Oppenheimer marathon, but I read a lot of reviews about Barbie that put up some huge red flags. Thought maybe they were over-exaggerating, and Friday rolled around with me dragging my dad and brother to go see Barbie, since it'd be shorter and I was in the mood to see something fun rather than heavy, figured to watch Oppenheimer the next day. On the way to the theater, I saw a plot breakdown of Barbie, and realized just how bad it was and how true the reviews were. Disappointedly just decided to see Oppenheimer instead and cut out Barbie altogether (which was *not* a disappointment and I walked away so, so glad I'd picked to see Oppenheimer instead, it's a *masterpiece* ). Still, I was really looking forward to a stupid, goofy comedy as there haven't been a lot in recent cinema. Bummed that I'll have to wait even longer to go see one.
I was planning to do that, even buy a Barbenheimer shirt but nope.
It is not an exaggeration Barbie is actual feminist propaganda from start to finish, it feels weird Hollywood doesn't even care keeping appearances anymore. But don't take my word for it, it's available to watch for free, it is the wokest blockbuster in the history of Hollywood, by a margin
If it's a comedy you want, then I suggest a stroll down memory lane and watching Tropic Thunder.
Why? Why are people still giving money to hollywood? There are better ways to spend your time and money than on an industry that avtively hates you. I dont understand how after the past few years ANYONE would give these p.edos a dime.
@@andreipop9587 hahaha 😂 the funniest thing about that movie is that it got RDJ an Oscar nomination, ten years before Hollywood turned woke
So the marketing campaign was basically FALSE ADVERTISTING!
When I was a young girl, I played with Barbie dolls. I grew up with the cgi movies. When I saw the trailer for this movie, I knew something was wrong. Glad to know my clairvoyance for absolute clown car sh*t is still a thing.
All girls should see this film. Hollywood needs their money to build more similar products.
Every boy should see this film. At least they would unerstand why education system is lying to them.
@@ramsa01YtNo one should waste their money to watch this piece of garbage.

@ramsa01Yt not gonna pay for the corporate stooges at all. I would recommend for children that someone teach them the cautionary tale of this propaganda film.
Barbie is such an interesting thing to analyse, unlike normal woke movies it didn't put it's agenda in the marketing and trailers, add that with the SAGS strike the actors weren't allowed to publically promote the movie (though they did get get a word in a few weeks ago), and to further add to Barbie's numbers there was a Barbieheimer meme that went viral.
I genuinely think this was lightening in a bottle, actors can't help themselves but virtue signal so they were shut up defacto by being on strike which helped the marketing, studio's should be taking notes.
This is the first significant female IP to get hit with the woke mind virus. Many male IPs have been gender-swapped and wokified. I think the real rage against Woke Hollywood is just starting bc now Hollywood is going to wreck (has been wrecking) Disney Princesses, Barbie, and other female IPs.
ok incel
You can legitimately tell people, "Yeah I have a side hustle: I watch streaming TV AND I go to cinemas -- that's enough, right?"
That's enough work for anyone.
This movie will convince all the right people not to breed. I’m very very glad this movie exists.
This is all incredibly depressing. I don't understand why people can't realize that people are made to have relationships and love one another. We are meant to have secure family units. People claim to have read 1984, but if they had, they would know that totalitarians hate families, because a family unit loves itself more than it loves the new world order. I've read about communist women briefly continue Chinese customs for their families when Red China condemned tradition as evil. I've seen women give up communism entirely once they had children, because through childrearing they learned to understand the real world. Families give men something to protect and to be loyal to. If we destroy families, we destroy life.
That's the point of these neo-marxist 4th wave misandrist feminist ideology cultists. They are chaos wizards here to destroy civilization with dangerous group think.
I live in Sweden but I think if we or the US ever get in a war, young men will be far less willing to sacrifice themselves than they hope as they have no wives or children to protect. Also they won't work very hard to have a good income either.
Whilst I don’t necessarily agree with you about how we are ‘meant’ to have relationships & families, I don’t agree that hating on those things is stupid. I don’t understand hating men & empowering women above them in society, why can’t they push the message of equality instead… :(
shhhhh... a normie is waking up...
@@ktotheitothembex there is no equality. women and men are different.

Andre from Midnight's Edge said "I would rather see Ghostbusters 2016 a thousand times over on repeat than see Barbie a second time." Not exactly a flattering review.
Id rather take a can of gasoline and scorch these films. What a waste of time and money, Jesus Christ
Barbie sounds like a brilliant film, perfectly outlining the Feminist Manifesto perfectly, for the whole world to see. This is exactly what they believe, exactly what they imagine the world is like, and what they're imagining the end goal can be. There's nothing quite like a lunatic giving the rest of us fair warning.
The feminist patriarchy straw man on steriods
Yep. Complete matriarchal society.
I'd like to ask what was the end goal for you guys?
Going to space to watch the billionaires vacation there? Killing and destroying each other in senseless wars? Defiling the planet instead of learning how to protect it?
That's not true. Taking some radical narcissistic people and saying that their beliefs are a representation of feminism is the same as calling radical religious fanatics "true representatives of Christianity". Blanket statements are not realistic. Women are not a hive mind. Feminists are not a hive mind. I am a woman and consider myself a feminist, and I am annoyed and perplexed by the messaging of Barbie as much as the next person.
Anyone who believes that women will let men have their fair share once they believe they've had theirs is smoking magic grass. That's not how irrational entitled female victimhood works.
the so called "success" has nothing to do with this crappy movie, just the fact millions of people are willing to see any shit with that doll's name in the title. That's all.
I believe the movie is doing well, mainly because people believed it was something it wasn’t.
Is it doing well or is it creative accountancy like we've seen in the past?
Nope, it’s ratings are good
it is doing well coz it an enjoyable movie for its target audience. I never once understood why action movies do well either, coz I aint the target audience. I get that some guys have an issue understanding that a movie about a plastic doll was not made for them, but....yeah it wasnt made for yall...that is all it is. I dont go into an action movie expecting a female actor to get more than 5 lines per hour, and yall shoudl have not gone into a Barbie movie expecting it to give any value to Ken either.

And this same director has gotten C.S . Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia reboot. Which makes my soul hurt.
Praying the strike keeps going and the reboot doesn't happen 🙏
She also did rewrites on Snow White.
Ugh, you're breaking my heart here. Lewis' family needs to pump the brakes.
@@NerdilyDone Unfortunately, Douglas Gresham, who is one of Lewis' remaining living stepsons and an executive producer on these new adaptations, seems to be ok with whatever choices are being made right now. "Netflix seems to be the very best medium with which to achieve this aim, and I am looking forward to working with them towards this goal." I'm fine with her directing, I just don't want her writing.
Ah well, now I know what I'm getting into I'll stick with the old movies, the BBC 1990s one, or the books as usual.
I think Barbie's biggest problem is that instead of the political messaging being something that comes naturally through the characters and story, the characters and story feel like they were made specifically for this political messaging, and suffice to say, I would definitely prefer the former. I don’t feel like I’m watching a movie about a Barbie girl in a Barbie world, I feel like I’m watching an hour-long lecture about the struggles of women, featuring Barbie, and a lecture is NOT something your movie should be like.
At this point, making a fun and entertaining movie would be the radical and bold move
I also want to say I had realistic baby dolls from an early age and Barbies, and they were never in competition with each other. Baby dolls were for playing Mama, and Barbie was aspirational fashion. Not one person thought we'd have her proportions, we just enjoyed the fashion and what we could aspire to sorta be. I'm 39, this was the norm growing up. The dolls today are still all about fashion, the only difference being the woke adults shaming young girls into not playing with baby dolls.
True, guys don't understand, different dolls mean different complex play time scenarios lol and when you get to be a slightly older child, the pretty lady doll is a bit more appealing because that's what a child would gravitate to naturally in a real person
💯 agree.
@@NightimeInDeepSpace The director and narrator was a woman, so women don't understand not guys. Or woke idiots to be precise
My favourite review of Barbie is the one by The Critical Drinker, when he said Barbie is like a serial killer in a Pikachu costume, cute on the outside, dark and sinister on the inside....

To a Barbie doll it is all forms ,
they almost said something of worth with ken confronting barbie about how he's been treated, but no. restore the status quo, rule with an iron fist, and keep the second class in its rightful place under your bootheel. use the third class against them if you can. that's what we got instead.
I loved when Ken told Barbie “This isn’t your Barbie house. This is the Ken dojo casa…Hurts, doesn’t it?”
I was like “Yes! Now she knows how it feels!”
And by the end, when she apologized to Ken, I had to applaud her for the amount of accountability she had. It may not have been much, but it was more than what any other woman character had (or has had in many shows).
@@KevvoLightswiftWhy didn’t Allen get rewarded for helping the Barbies?
@@basementbrotherscollectibles Because they don't respect him. Everyone more or less ignores his existence. They should, but since they didn't have an awakening like the OG barbie did, they won't.
I feel sorry for the people who wrote this film, their lives must be horrific.
It was a husband-wife duo who wrote the movie (Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach). I just can't imagine writing this movie with my wife or gf and not feeling like a shell of a man lol
Don't worry, I'm sure he was a shell of a man way before that 👍
@@CJStew06 Makes some sense why Ken gets a weird amount of sympathetic writing. “I’m Just Ken” is a weirdly effective cry for help of a man trapped in a feminist utopia.
They're too full of themselves to notice that whatever it is they're feeling doesn't come close to genuine happiness.

Have you noticed that Hollywood won’t give us any decent (i.e., non-political) comedies anymore? Methinks they want us depressed... and thus easier to manipulate through emotion/despair

Notice that the politics all lean one way? It's not an accident...
And drugs ...

Yep the woke left killed comedy. They want everyone miserable like them. They intimidated people into not telling jokes. THATS RAYYCESS!! THATS PHOBIC!!!!
THATS MISOGYNY! It's only cool to make fun of Males, (white of course) and Christians.
Destroy the west at all costs. If we create a parallel hollywood, 1-2 comedy movies a month in theaters could come back, and we could be allowed to laugh again.
I don’t want to watch Barbie, even with Margot Robbie in it, but I can’t imagine how repulsive this movie could be with Amy Schumer of all people in the leading role
Pitch meeting for Barbie: "We want to make a film that raises an entire generation of girls to have utter contempt for men! What could go wrong?"
Getting Gen Z girls to hate men is super easy - barely an inconvenience.

So when they say “sexist” for this movie i wonder if they have the brain cells to know it’s the women being sexist
This movie is so in your face and heavy handed with it's cultural message that I can't decide if it's actually convinced of the tripe it's spewing or if it's taking the piss to such a colossal degree that you can't tell for sure
This movie seems to have a built-in defense mechanism where if you call it out for bad storytelling or confusing themes, the response is "well it's not a serious movie! It's a movie about dolls, it's silly!" And yet, everything about the movie wants the audience to cheer it as an empowering anthem of inclusion.
@@CJStew06 bro it is also a serious movie
That’s Poe’s Law for you: “an honest example of extremism is often indistinguishable from parody.”
For my money, there was nothing satirical about this movie. This sludge is what the filmmakers believe and what they want suggestible children to walk away with.
The real message of the movie is that they want to teach young girls is that promiscuity can be used as a weapon to control men
sounds like it, a guidebook on how to control your male partner and the tools available to emotionally manipulate and gaslight him if he happens to realise what is happening. Also seems like it wants to tell people that if men are happy you need to put an end to it because it's.. oppression(?) to have equality and peace as it devalues the tools(/weapons) that would otherwise be an advantage for you (the woman).
Fuck knows, it sounds weird. I almost can't believe it isn't satire tbh
Ok, but men use masculinity to control women-that's pretty undeniable throughout history.
I wish people would have a more realistic view of human behavior, and that "promiscuity" is really just curiosity and desire, and it's perfectly normal for people to not repress themselves.
It seems awfully suspicious that the box office numbers, for Barbie, are coming in well before the other movies. This weekend, the numbers for Barbie were even coming in the day before and morning of. All the while, Barbie sank to a 7 on IMDB, 75% on rotten tomatoes, and 5.3 on metacritic.
100% convinced now this is one massive psyop and distraction from something.
2nd weekend will be quite insteresting for this film. Kudos to the marketing team for hiding it all in the trailers and stuff.
the drop off is going to be huge. the ticket buyer demographic is 70-80% women who just want to BARBIE.
I hope that's an ironic kudos. I find it even more sinister that they would hide what their movie is really about and as bad as stuff like She-Hulk and Velma were, at least you knew what to expect with those.
The reality is that Barbie is going to be a box office bomb. They spent a shitload of money on marketing, and their budget was 145 million. They haven't broken even yet. If they have a huge drop-off, the film won't break even on the grounds that it can't even be shown in 2/3rds of countries around the world
@@Jacobe2of4Don't underestimate the desire of women to feel good by being told they're great and men are sh×t.
Not sure if it's going to be a bomb yet. But parents should think of giving Mattel the budwisser effect. Hiding what this movie is really about is very, very disgusting.
I was one of the duped movie watchers. I regret the lack of discernment. I thought Little Women was decent so i figured Greta wouldnt go this hard. I was so so so wrong.
I just watched the creative team behind "Barbie" when they produced "White Noise" together. Now that is a European-style, meandering romp that takes itself very unseriously. Apparently they've been drawn to the dark side.
Me too. In hindsight, I should've known better. But the marketing got me. I was really hoping this movie was just a fun joyride. I'm so tired of the culture wars, I just want to be entertained dammit!
Little Women was puke. I hope you watched the older versions first. Otherwise it's ruined forever for you.
@@nineblessednineadorednined9214 I thought Gerwig's _Little Women_ looked like a mess just based on the trailers and never bothered with the whole movie. Jo was running around NYC in men's clothes. The girls all looked the same age. Friedrich didn't look much older than Jo, and apparently the movie leaves it ambiguous if he even existed. Saoirse Ronan just doesn't look like Jo to me - Winona Ryder was perfect for the role. And while Timothy Chalamet has a unique look, his version of Laurie seems like a dweeb compared to Christian Bale's portrayal. Honestly, Little Women 2019 is a movie with no real need to exist.
@@talithakoum3922 You got it because they didn't bother hiding the agenda the way they did with Barbie. It's borderline disrespectful to the story. Still, it's worth watching maybe just once for the same reason it's worth watching Barbie at least once. You can appreciate them the same way you can appreciate Nazi propaganda films, as lessons in history. In both movies they can't ruin the source material, no matter how hard they try, but it's interesting to see how hard they try.

I suspect Barbie will fool people the same way Lion King did. It has all the right references and cues to fool you into thinking it's that familiar, beloved brand you grew up with, when in reality it bears about as much resemblance to the original property as croc shoes do to an actual crocodilian.

This movie has one of the most toxic messages I've ever seen in it.
"We won't do the right thing until THEY do the right thing first"
"... and then we still won't do the right thing, but only what we want for own ego."
The message is worst, is lie to men that love you in order to gain some "power" The scene when they switch kens, that´s the worst message you can give to teenagers...girls and boys will keep trashing girls that do that xD

The marketing for Barbie is how you trick people. They did a good job hiding the wokeness and made it seem like a simple fun film.
