Barbie
This was EVERYTHING. I cannot even put it into words.
But I will.
Barbie is a depiction of matriachy vs patriarchy. And I know which one I want to live in. Comparing Barbieland as a Utopia for women and just a place where men are around juxtaposed to being taken over by Kens that becomes a women’s dysoptia where men rule… It physically pains me to see small minded men calling the two the same because they aren’t. One is infinetly more terrifying then the other, and it hurts to see people who don’t take this film seriously because it was told through a pink lens.
Agh but also at it’s core it’s Barbie. It’s so Barbie and instead of being existential because it could, it so easily could; it’s inspired thousands of women worldwide and is not only a step forward for the impeccable Greta Gerwig but a leap for women filmmakers alike. Authentic, Plastic, Perfect <3
