Barbie
had a night to comprehend this film and i’m so happy to say that greta gerwig did it once again. i had incredibly high expectations for barbie but i still always reminded myself to not be disappointed if it really just is a kids movie because in the end of the day its still a barbie movie. BUT!!! its not just a kids movie. greta gerwig presents her perfectly relatable portray of girlhood and motherhood to an audience wearing pink and full of women. yesterday was the most special evening ever.
now talking of the film. the opening scene (being a great tribute to kubrick) shows barbie as the doll who changed the lives of girls all over the world and tells her story by giving us a glance of the hilarious humor we can find all over the film. the soundtrack is everything and i love that dance scene at barbie’s party even more than ken’s performance of his song. even though barbie is for kids she was invented to touch important topics such as feminism and womanhood in general and greta gerwig delivers all of it. trying to keep this as spoilerfree as possible but this is a feminist masterpiece and i can already see men being mad at it but that does not take the genius of it away. great marketing and great job from greta gerwig again who will always be one of my favourites in writing and directing films.
ps. allen is the absolute star of this movie!! so hilarious!!
