      Honestly, as a man, I agree. The only thing I could think was “anti-men”, and trust me, it wasn’t even that big- was the makeup scene where America Farrera’s character just villainize Ken. And I’m only judging it cause I kinda see why Ken wanted a change YK. But even that isn’t that much, it’s just one of those small thoughts you have when viewing. People saying this ENTIRE MOVIE is “anti-men” are either very sad, or prove that media literacy is doomed

      I feel like LGBT+ peeps like myself pick up on this stuff because for a long time our sole rep was relegated to queer coded stuff (queer coded villains especially), so we are trained to pick up on nuance where big dumb meatheads go hurr durr and read lines on the page verbatim without any context or irony.

      @@devineggins4 It is in a race context originally but I always think back to a quote from bo burnham's Happy "we used to have all the money and land, and we still do but it's not as fun now". Men literally still own everything and any sense of equality is immediately taken as losing.

    'I only exist within the warmth of your gaze' is such a double edged line because it's sweet and we want a someone that makes us feel special. It's like a line from Shakespeare. But it really came from an empty place, the way it does for a lot of people

    The elderly woman who Barbie talks to is 2 time Oscar winning costume designer Ann Roth. As a matter of fact, Roth became the oldest ever female Oscar winner when she won her 2nd Oscar 2 years ago for MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM (Chadwick Boseman‘s last movie).

    As a guy who prides myself on being pretty "aware", one thing i feel this movie did really well is make the ideas it touches on, very accessible and easy to digest while also cutting deep. Simple and to the point. Love how it also highlights that men are affected negatively by the patriarchy, and Ken realizing he has to find his own self worth is a great lesson to all men.

  • @sikora3738

  • @zeroknight4517
    @zeroknight4517 Рік тому +17

    this is such an important movie. Especially when Barbie says at the end she doesn't want to be an idea, she wants to deliver ideas. This is such a projectile of a woman seen as a "product" or idea, but in fact (many) women want to do stuff and also inspire. Ken realising he doesn't need stuff (not even other woman) to accept him as who he is... that's how every human should see himself. Ken was also designed as a Buddy or a couple part, because Barbie was getting too independent and it was unheard of to have a female role model being on her own (without a man/husband/boyfriend etc). It was also never Barbies fault Ken didn't have anything other than her, since her world was designed for girls and they wouldn't play with a Kens house or anything :D which applies to the company sacrifying Kens individuality for profit. You don't need cars or a coat (or other people) to define you for who you are and you never shouldn't fall for all the commerce shit telling you "this is what you need". That's why you also can rip off the patriarchy, but ofcourse the system won't let you. Also the ending scene, at the gynecologist, so many take it as a funny joke to end the movie (ofcourse it's made that way), but it's important for women to know about what's in their system. Young girls hate what's down there, because it's "dirty" etc and even after the menstruation, it's only annoying. Back in the days, when sex wasn't meant for the woman to feel pleasure, women used to hate this part.

    I was also more of a Bratz girl, though I did own both. And I completely understand your rant about there not being a box or anything Barbie related. Me and my friends were SO disappointed our local cinema had absolutely NOTHING (also in the UK) 🙄 Most people were wearing pink or something Barbie related (I don’t own anything pink apart from socks, which I did wear 😅 and I bought some Barbie earrings that I’m still wearing at least once a week 🤭). Love your videos!

    In the "GOODLIGHT"-Box is also a collecteable card! I had a lot of the Movie-Barbies like "Barbie and the 12 dancing Princesses", "Barbie in the Nutcracker", "Barbie as Rapunzel", ect. I still own the two Barbies from "Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper" because they are my favorites. ^^ I wish I still had all the other ones - I really regret selling them on a flea market. Maybe I will buy them again someday - but they are very expensive now. I also had some regular barbies, and I think I had the pooping dog and at least one horse and some of the kens from the barbie movies. (Gosh I was spoiled with toys I guess xD I also had polly pocket and playmobile and sooo many plushies - I had a whole closet just for them.) Wish I could go back to my childhood and just play with my toys without knowing about all the problems we have in the world. 😅

    Expectations were so high for this movie that I kinda walked away disappointed. It was good, even great, but it was obvious that it was written with the idea that a significant portion of audience will be pre-teens that generally lack media literacy (basically beating you over the head with the main point). But I can totally see how it almost made 1,5 bil. dollars. We need more original movies like this.

He changed the social structure of Barbie land and gave the Ken's new found purpose and authority. And the Barbie's weren't forced into it they willingly accepted this new change and showed to be happy with it.
