    I actually loved The Barbie Movie. I was worried it would be all about how men are bad, but it actually had something far more nuanced to say. It illustrated that both women and men face challenges as part of their gender group. Women and men experience different pressures. Both men & women need personal development and to get beyond shallow answers about what success looks like. Sometimes Ken was the antagonist, but in the 3rd act they made him a true protagonist, as well. It was really well done. I feel they gave Ken a great opportunity to speak for the pressures and heartbreak that men experience. It was really funny even as your heart went out to him. Well done.

    People criticize Barbie for being an unrealistic role model...which i understand to a degree. But i think kids have far more imagination than that.
    Rather than saying "I'm going to be like this doll" they say "I'm going to make this doll be what I want it to be." It can be a catalyst for creativity.
    Hence the "weird Barbies" like Kate McKinnon plays in the movie...with the mismatched outfits and the choppy haircut that never grows out. 😂

      You are correct: 1968 - Mattel produced 'Christie' an African American Doll that is a FOB - 'Friend of Barbie. In 1980, Mattel produced the first African American Doll that was actually named 'Barbie'. So, there was black representation by Mattel in 1968 ... but she was named 'Christie' instead of 'Barbie'. So, Sunny could have played with a black doll by Mattel when she was a child, the doll just would have been named 'Christie' instead of 'Barbie'.

    Proud of these two women hailing from Sacramento, Ca. They produced a thought-provoking movie about finding our true selves, instead of following this path that we have been brainwashed in that we have to look like stereo type Barbie, and fall for Ken, rather than Ken being a friend. Our Barbies played with our brother's action figures/ WWE figures, so It was funny seeing John Cena as a Merman/Barbie Mermaid's Boyfriend. . . It was fun seeing so many groups of women and girls and even some men, of all ages donning pink/ or the stripes in support of one or most famous toys for girls growing up. It was actually fun, and had cameos with Rhea Pearlman as Barbies Creator, and Will Ferrell as Mattel's CEO, Kate McKinnon as Weird Barbie, etc.

    Sunny is incorrect. The first black Barbie came out in 1967. Therefore there were black Barbies when Sunny was a little girl. I had to confirm the date, but I was pretty sure I played with them when I was a little girl I wish she hadn’t gone there with the conversation because it didn’t add anything to the discussion of what the movie is actually presenting.
    I saw the movie last night. It is much better than I expected. It’s very deep and thoughtful. Also, I am putting it out there, I was not a Ryan Gosling fan until this movie. This is an award-winning performance from him.

    To Sunny’s point about not having Barbie because there were none at that time that looked like her, I’m full brown, dark brown, grew up when Barbie didn’t have race options and am so grateful my parents looked past the colour issue and just let me be free to play and not be bogged down with the burden of race and colour. There is plenty of opportunities for that in other areas of life. Frankly, I found Barbie boring and she ended up collecting dust on my toy shelf, even so, I never resented that she didn’t look like me, mainly because that thought didn’t even occur to my child brain at that time.

      Toys and she was the first standard of beauty outside of our moms that lost little girls had. The only standard of beauty being WHITE for a long time is a problem. so yeah it’s a pretty fucking big deal to get representation. And I think acting like it isn’t is actually despicable.

    Wow, Ms. Gerwig is so thoughtful and impressive. By thoughtfully taking on a project that her own mother -- to say nothing of Gloria Steinem & the editorial staff of "Ms. Magazine" -- have mixed feelings about, she reminds us what it means to be an "artist"...and how artists can and always have prevailed, even in the most difficult of times...by inviting us to think, and presenting us with questions & ideas -- in the guise of entertainment. (And while truly entertaining us.) For those of us who are old enough to have actually experienced 2 of the things Ms. Gerwig references in this interview -- the Apollo 11 mission & the advent and widespread use of Credit Cards -- it's heartbreaking that American society has come to a place where people are motivated to gin-up controversy around Ms. Gerwig's film...rather than having an honest conversation about the thoughts & feelings the ideas in film gives rise to. In the end, many great works of art over the centuries have tackled the question: "What does it mean to be human?" And it seems that -- in an ingenious twist on how "science fiction," by presenting the author or filmmaker's vision of "the future," is often a commentary on "the way we live now" -- Ms. Gerwig asks the eternal artistic question, by presenting us with (not to put too fine a point on it) "a doll's life." Granted, it's a simple idea -- but one that's breathtaking in its ambition and chutzpah, given Barbie's iconic status and universal presence in American homes. It may be a tad melodramatic, to compare Ms. Gerwig's film to Theo Angelopoulos making "The Travelling Players" during the Regime of the Colonels -- but I can't deny that's what came to mind. And finally, there's this: Isn't "art" supposed to reflect the word around us? When we're in-line these days at a WalMart or Costco -- or we're walking through Disneyland or New York City with our families on vacation -- doesn't the environment today more resemble Barbie's beach in Ms. Gerwig's film -- than it does an episode of "Father Knows Best" or "The Andy Griffith Show"? People tend to forget, I think, that the artist's "job" is to reflect the world as it is -- and then contemplate what that means -- all in the knowledge that "no matter what," the so-called Human Condition has never changed. (Which is why Greek tragedies & Shakespeare still speak so powerfully to us today, despite their absence of airplane travel and microwave ovens.) At the end of the day, people who make their living on social media arguing about Ms. Gerwig's casting choices -- whether they're "Pro" or "Con" -- are missing the point, I think. Something 100% of we humans has, is an internal life...and that's something no amount of "diversity" -- or lack thereof -- is capable of changing, any more than it can change the fact that fish swim, and birds fly. It's one of the things that makes each of our lives so unique, and so precious. And like all works of art, I suspect that will enable Ms. Gerwig's film to endure -- to be pondered by future generations, many of whom won't have "grown up with" Barbie dolls. Last but not least, a final measure of Ms. Gerwig's artistry, is the song Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas wrote for the film. Their music has always been intensely personal, but sometimes one artist can "inspire" another -- and the moving lyrics to their Barbie theme song would suggest that this is what happened here: ruclips.net/video/cW8VLC9nnTo/видео.html

    Barbie was originally Lilli, a scandalous doll created from a character in the German tabloid Bild. It was very smutty, and men bought the dolls for laughs and giggles.
    Ruth Handler brought some of the Lilli dolls home to Germany, and rebranded them after her daughter , who was called Barbie.

      Barbie was not originally a Bill Lili doll. Barbie was INSPIRED by her and merely modified to be marketed as a fashion doll towards children. but Bild Lili was not a fashion doll as her shoes couldn’t come off and she was not created to be undressed. Bild Lili was based on a newspaper comic about a call girl, who was then created as a souvenir as a gag toy for adults. Ruth Handler then saw the potential in this item and created a DOLL based on an idea that combined paper dolls with Bild lily. The original Barbie looked like Bild lily but was different in the terms of her internal mechanics & the ability to undress and redress. She was also modified to be able to be targeted towards children.

So, there was black representation by Mattel in 1968 ... but she was named 'Christie' instead of 'Barbie'.

What is the moral of the story? If a full grown adult doesn’t understand what this story is trying to teach her, children don’t have a chance. There are so many contradictory themes playing throughout this movie. At least it’s pretty... but doesn’t that thought, in itself, make me stereotypical? If the point was to utterly confuse people and pit them against each other, mission accomplished. Oh, and every main character in this film is WAY too old to play with Barbie! 5-year-olds play with Barbies... not 16 year olds. So... why is Sasha in the movie? When I was almost a year old, my mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday. Apparently, I was Barbie obsessed and up until my birthday drove my parents crazy. We were very poor, so I got the thin plastic, non-movable, unbranded, .99 cent doll and insisted on sleeping with it. I don’t know what the appeal was... it was inherent, because obviously, 11-month-olds aren’t indoctrinated by the patriarchy.🤷🏻‍♀️
