Barbie Live Action Movie Thread for HUNKS and HOTTIES - 15th highest grossing movie of all time

[Soymuscle Mike]

can anyone else vouch for this? Sounds like a horrible reach compared to what everyone else has said ITT

Verify what?

The movie is hilarious, and it ends on a powerful note about the female experience.

all of this feels like a middle finger to Hollywood sorta like the Game Stop stock shyt

The internet is undefeated.

Yes I know but I'm talking ALL TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE COUNTRY
and people said theaters were dying

 

[Bleedin Gums Murphy]

Just finished seeing it.
It’s a “good“ movie, no question. I thought Gosling & Ken’s story was great. I loved Margot….

BUT

I left the theater mad at white women.

It was white women that voted for Trump, it was RBG’s fragile (and ) ass refusing to step aside that helped do Roe v. Wade in (Coney Barrett voted to strike it down too).

This movie was a tribute to this new era of white feminism, when white women did a huge share to create the need for said feminism/activism.


I keep thinking of that joke Chappelle did about the 2016 women’s march, when he asked his black woman activist friend what she thought, and her response was, “I hope those bytches get maced”

I have to double back now that I’ve slept on it.

This movie needed an “evil” Barbie.

The movie essentially boils down to men vs. women.

But all the women/Barbies are all on the same team, with zero nuance, with the same mindset that all men are dumb, power-hungry, etc.

On the men’s side, there was at least Alan and the two other Ken’s that helped the Barbies, and served as a contrarian viewpoint for how the majority of men acted in the movie.

This movie lets white women off the hook, by making it seem as though white women have always stood in solidarity with all women, when we know that’s not the truth.

I still liked the movie

Barbie made more money in a single weekend than Indy 5 did in its entire run so far.

And who were the other two Ken's with?

Weird Barbie and those two other ones.

Y'all asking for a whole other movie. This was about being a woman and patriarchy, not about the history of (white) women.

Right because what I would’ve done is, create a more genuine solidarity approach amongst women instead of just coming together to go against men

I think an evil barbie is good enough for their own movie

Spoiler

this film did a good job of explaining the primary fight that women have
if you introduce an evil barbie right now it doesn't make sense because of the way the barbie world works.
then you would take away the whole dynamic with Ken because you have to focus on the new villian
I think a sequel will delve into the evil barbie and why Mattel made one like that or if they made one that's so narcissistic it becomes an evil barbie

Why would women want to see a Barbie movie where it’s women vs women?
