Barbie

i really don't know what to feel about this movie...i have been waiting for it for so long and it was great, but i just felt weird watching it. i smiled and giggled when barbies and sets that i had as a kid showed up. i love women!!! (also like the 3 sex education show cast members was really cool to see) i have to admit that in the middle of this, i really hated it. it just made me really upset with the whole ken patriarchy thing and being demeaning to the barbies. i know that was the point but it just made me weirdly emotional towards it. i love the ending and i cried a little when she was talking to the older woman towards the beginning because it was just so sweet.  i think there was a bit too much cynicism (that greta gerwig is known for, and she's really good at it esp. in Lady Bird and in her acting roles.) it just was a bit too mean-spirited at points for me to fully enjoy it. i wish there was more to it, i think? like, runtime wise. Maybe this was a case of literally just getting out of oppenheimer, which made sure that you knew about each and every ball hair that oppenheimer grew in his life.  anyways let's go barbie let's go party!!!!!
