barbie or oppenheimer
Please I prefer Shin Kamen Rider
I like both, but probably Oppenheimer, since I'm a huge Christopher Nolan fan.
Is Oppenheimer gonna be Part 2 to this Review????
Oppenheimer 😎💥
barbenheimer
The least belivable thing is that there's no way they're the weirdest looking people in Venice beach
ive been to venice beach exactly once and more people were on rollerskates than skateboards they legit looked normal
And no homeless camps.
@@yeah_yeahwhateverthere’s not a lot of homeless camps that I saw on the beach
So the director is on record saying that the filming at Venice Beach somewhat put Margot Robbie at unease. Not because of being leered at, mind you, but because everyone *ONLY* wanted to talk to Ryan. Dudes would walk up to Ryan, fist bump him, and continue on their way. Almost no one paid attention to Margot.
Lmao, the stuff the movie presented was absolutely dumb.
@@D00dman but this does happen in the movie like a minute after that
Thats what makes Ken start his barbieland revolt
I was sat next to a kid who whispered to his Mum ‘What’s a facist’ 😂
Lmao I heard plenty of kids saying “I don’t get it” the whole time
I was two seats down from a kid who asked ‘what’s cellulite?’ 😂
@@katlyndobransky2419 Yea he definitely asked ‘What’s funny’ a few times
My 12 year old cousin asked me the same lol.
I also had to explain what a gynecologist is 😅
The fact people bring their kids to this movie is disgusting. You're willingly brainwashing your kids to believe the "not-so -hidden" feminist message. Let's portray men as useless bigoted perverts, good idea.....morons.
I wish Gosling did more comedies because damn he's so good at it
Yes, I think that he should be nominated for more Oscars, and hopefully he'll eventually win.
Yes I love his performance in The Nice Guys

I loved this movie. Cillian Murphy was great as Barbie but Emily Blunt as Ken was the absolute best.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Best review ever!😂
me after watching the two movies on the same day
my favorite part is when Oppenheimer said its barbie time and he barbed all over the place
I will say that airing at the exact same time as Oppenheimer was honestly genius. The fact that people are buying both tickets to see both films at the same day really does say something.
there u are
why did u say the exact same thing on charlie's video xd
@@jonathanmeeks6031lmao I was just about to ask the same thing, weird deja vu
Absolutely. Watching both tomorrow. Can't wait ❤
Yeah I probably wouldn’t have seen Barbie in theatres otherwise but so glad I did
I LOVED this movie. Now I’m waiting for the “I am Kenough” hoodies to be sold everywhere
they’re $60 on mattel’s barbie merch site 😂
@@reaganfieldsthat’s not bad for official barbie merch
@@tns.xcoske Still seems a bit pricey though for a hoodie. I'd be totally fine nabbing a cheaper non official "knock off" if I can find one.
it’s genius marketing and i want one so badly but i’m not in the us 😢
Just walked out of the barbie movie and you're so righttt. It's not a want. IT'S A NEED!! How else would people know that i'm kenough lol
my only complain about barbie is that i wish the first act was longer. i wanted to explore every little crevice of barbieland and when we go straight into the plot i was like “man… already?” i know it’s a meme but i genuinely believe the only bad thing about this film is that it’s not longer.
@@dabourashedyou mean they wouldn’t be able to fit the literal plot of the movie 💀💀
@@souki27 feminist propaganda should not be the plot of any movie, dafuq?
@@souki27 The what? You mean the feminist propaganda pushed from all the crevaces of this dumpsterfire? Completely unnecessary, the film would've survived without it.
@@Google_Censored_Commenterits barbie, what were you expecting?
@@cyberghetto2714 I was expecting mild equality feminism of the 80s, you know, the BARBIE BRAND? Not 4th wave feminist misandra propaganda that completely ruins both Barbie and Ken as we know them. Too much to ask for?
I think it's easy to understate Margot Robbie's influence on the production of the film, and how good she is not only as an actor but a producer. She's responsible for bringing Gerwig on board, and I think she was crucial in seeing this movie's vision through.
Honestly Margot saved this movie, it would not have been nearly as great as it was had Greta and Noah not been on board
I respect Margot a lot more now.
I had no idea but not surprised because Margot Robbie is incredibly smart.
@@base4yrface Having Greta, Noah and Margot is far better for a Barbie movie than the original plan which was Amy Schumer as Barbie and have her to write the script. Geez, that would've been an absolute nightmare. Glad Mattel went with the right direction
I heard she made everyone working in the production of this movie wear pink at least one day of the week and if they didn’t she would fine them 😓
Real glad this film was able to just barely dodge the impact of the writer/actor strikes. Was nice to get one last great film before the industry collapses under the weight of malpractice.
The indusrty went dowhill like 10 years ago lol
@@chris-zd9srok. listen. this isn't a "new thing < old thing" kinda bit. this is a genuine labor issue
The truth of what's going on in Hollywood is as evil as the worst horror movie anyone has ever seen. The industry profits too much to collapse but I'm hoping more truth comes out somehow. The abuse is leeeevelllls
Oppenheimer and Barbie dodged a huge bullet
@@theyhateandrew8529Barbie dodged two bullets actually, one is the marketing before the strike, the other one was having Amy Schumer as Barbie and have her write the damn script
Ryan Gosling really said "I'm going to play Ken with the most commitment possible and sell every goddamn second of it" and it has got to be the standout performance of the film for me.
In no way did I anticipate just how much I was going to enjoy Ryan Gosling as Ken.
dont forget this man learned to play the piano just for his role in la la land. he is unstopabble
The whole point of the Barrie movie was literally “men bad women good”
When ever men call out women for taking advantage of them, let’s say in the court system for example, they are called sexist

@@nobodythenobody9779 the end of the movie for the kens was meant to be unsatisfying. as the narrator says, "maybe one day the kens will have as much power as women in the real world" . notice how gloria wasnt put on the board, will most likely not be credited for her idea, which was discarded until they saw it was profitable. the kens don't get equality, neither does gloria (a woman in the real world) it is meant to show how the fight for equality isnt over, in my opinion
@@mirmir0003 the movie had a 5 minute rant about about how bad women have it and it’s all mens fault, as if men don’t go thro anything
Men have less rights in the west than women
If you are offended by men exsisting that’s pretty hateful
The early movie got some chuckles (mostly cause a ton was in trailers). But by midpoint and till the end we were all losing our minds with laughter but still quiet for the thinky parts. It was the best of both. I’m seeing it again in theaters for sure.
half the folks i went with were in tears at the ending, so that says a lot haha

What you said about the movie feeling like a child excited to tell you a bunch of things etc was an excellent description of the movie. It has this very childlike tone that was very honest and direct yet talking about deeply complex and adult philosophy
Child movies got really bad in the last years and become medieval torture for parents, is so nice to see a movie that kids and adults can enjoy.
@@RuinedStillWetMascarayes THIS!!! It's been a WHILE since I've seen something actually interesting as a choice for a movie to watch that the family would like.

Deeply complex? Are you talking about the same movie? Patriachy bad, men bad - the movie
I have mixed feelings about the movie. I love barbieland and i think the first act was the highlight of the film, but the trailers relied on it so much I felt like I had already experienced the bulk of it. The movie also introduces new characters and elements at such a fast pace i feel like it forgets about its lead character near the end of its second act. We only really get one scene where barbie truly begins to contemplate what life is outside of barbieland, so the end of her arc, while apropriate and expected, doesn't necessarily feel earned. And the film does get preachy, which isnt inherently a bad thing, as long as the audience doesnt feel preached to, which is a bit hard when the characters seem to constantly use buzzwords to vocalize their situation. Enjoyed the film but not as much as I expected to.
I 10000% agree with this comment
Literally the first act is superior but the trailers basically revealed every scene of the first like 30 minutes
Exactly my thoughts, I just didn’t feel like her ending was earned
you summarized exactly how I felt lol. It's a solid 6/10 movie for me. Am yet to watch Oppenheimer but am excited for that as well. I do really wish the trailers didn't spoil as much as they did though.
Thank God an objective comment not immediately fawning Over this. Ultimately it's more message than movie which detracts from the overall humor which going into the movie, I thought was the purpose of it
I personally loved the film. I thought the patriarchy bits were a bit on-the-nose at times but nonetheless very interesting. Like how Ken thought he would be able to land any job just because he is a man and so is supposed to be privileged, or how Barbie is sexualised as a woman in the real world. I thought it poked fun at both patriarchy and matriarchy, as the objectifying and disregarding of Kens can be said to mirror both the treatment of women in our own society (there was a great monologue about the paradoxical expectations placed on women), but also the treatment of men as it isn't okay to take away men's humanity either, and doing so often causes them to push back harder because they feel attacked, creating a cycle of us misunderstanding and fighting eachother. In the beginning the Kens are essentially disregarded which makes them turn to the patriarchy of the real world for a sense of power, but even the matriarchy of the first act is synthetic and soulless where women are all expected to be doctors, physicists etc. which is better than telling them they can't be those things, but by the end they get at how you shouldn't need to be those things to have value as a human; you're allowed to just be 'ordinary Barbie'. I think the film has done an excellent job at showing that you can be a 'stereotypical' feminine woman and that does not make you frivolous or unintelligent, but also that you don't need to (literally) put yourself in a box like people do with different 'aesthetics' nowadays: you can have multiple titles and roles, or you can reject them.
I also liked how Ken was uncouraged to find who he is too by the end, because even if women wanted to solve men's problems, it's not something they can do, men have to be the change they want to see. You know, for a movie about dolls, I thought it was a beautiful commentary on what it means to be human and I damn near cried. This film was ART.
My only gripe with the film is that a lot of of the jokes were in the trailers so they weren't as funny upon hearing them the second time around, but that's fine I still thoroughly enjoyed it in all of its stylised, pink glory. Watched Oppenheimer, then Barbie and I adore both.
I think the anti patriarchy message had to be that on the nose bc as you can see, theres a lot of people that still dont get the message. Look what happened with movies that criticize toxic masculinity like fight club and american psycho.. a lot of men think this movie is a misandrist movie, but it isnt whatsoever. So tbh, i think we’ve come to a point where its like “OK you guys STILL dont get it, ig we have to be as CLEAR as possible that the patriarchy SUCKS for everyone, (while more for women, it also does for men but ykyk)?” And it STILL hasnt worked 🥲
@@lb8489 I agree, and I also think the matriarchy bits can be misconstrued as a 'screw men' kind of thing, when actually its criticising hating on men to uplift women as much as it is hating on women to uplift men. I feel like some people on either side just entirely missed the point. I'm a man that saw it with my brothers and we certainly never found it to be 'man-hating'.
@@lb8489 I think the message delivery just did not hit because the Kens were nothing but idiots the WHOLE movie. There was not a single moment of genuine genius among the whole movie. Anything "smart" they did was counteracted with some dude bro haha quickly after. Also the ending speech was lowk meh. Maybe if it was after an emotional rant by BlondKen about how they feel useless, unworthy, stupid, and overall didn't feel good before but they found *something* in the new system they had so they stuck with it. Maybe a Ken or two could've been honest about how they don't want to be forced to act a certain way, and say they'd rather do x or y without it being a joke. Make the Kens a character, not a caricature. If the Kens being "themselves" were idiots, then the "Be ken" message doesn't really ring an emotional chord. On a scale of: Bottom Mid, Below Mid, True Mid, Above Mid, and Peak Mid, I would put Barbie in between a High Below Mid or a Low True Mid.
It’s like you took my thoughts and put them into words, and for that, thank you
This whole movie just had "RUclips Poop Kenergy" written all over it, from Lizzo speaking to Barbie when she falls in the beginning, to the purposely bad visual effects, to the Hanna-Barbera running sound effect the executives (and Adam Groff) made when they were scrambling, to the Kens' fascination with horses, to the grand, mind-fuck ending montage.
And I LOVED IT.

@@dabourashed I'll have to because I didn't
@@katlyndobransky2419 You know what they say, the back part of the brain is the most active
This was definitely one of my favourite theatre-going experiences.
A six year old girl was sitting next to me and when Ken told Ken, “You can’t beach yourself off” everyone laughed, but this little girl turned to her mom and went “what’s so funny! Tell me!”
Also, the group cry in the womens bathroom after the film was the closest to Barbieland we’ll ever get.
I enjoyed it a fair bit - the commentary was a bit one-note for me, but the mechanics of the Barbie Land brought plenty of smiles to my face, and as many have said, Ryan Gosling was absolute gold. I also thought Helen Mirren did great with the narration
The only thing i disliked was mothers rant how every single woman on earth has it terrible , otherwise it was a prettt good movie
@@rustycrowbar4250this is totally not meant to come off as rude, but i was just really curious why you didn't like that scene? for me, that was honestly (one of) my favourite moment(s) in the film and i genuinely sobbed. i expected most women would feel the same?
@@rustycrowbar4250i mean... she wasn't wrong

@@dabourashedliterally never open your mouth again, your opinions will never be right
ryan gosling is a godsend. if you haven't watched nice guys or blue valentine or place beyond the pines, do yourself a favor. he can do comedy he can do drama. the man can do anything.
he is AMAZING
I’m sad more people didn’t get to experience Blade Runner 2049 in which he had to carry two thirds of the film as an android not allowed to express emotion. Fantastic range.
I'm so excited to see it that I'm voluntarily wearing pink for the first time in 20 years
lol me, a goth-old rock chic at heart…i wore a pink barbie shirt tonight and had a ball! film was amazing 🎉
I wore a pink dress for the first time in years and everyone else was in regular clothes 😭 I thought there was an agreed on uniform
I LOVE the color pink, I came in all pink to my cinema… it did give me 25% off on snacks!
The Monthy Phyton reference with coconut horses was just amazing. I've seen several reviews and apparently people has not noticed that one yet.
Barbie actually supports men and women and wants us to be more pragmatic in terms of human relationship :)
Right? I fail to see how this movie could possibly be considered "man-hating." it's very fucking sympathetic toward men. More than the _vast_ majority of movies I've seen in the last 10 years...
...they're just not the primary topic.
I haven't watched it yet but I've heard that in the ending the kens are back to being at the bottom of society with no equality in sight, is that true?
@@liamastill6733
Not exactly. They're certainly not all immediately granted governing positions, but the systemic barriers to entry are removed.
@@IsomerMashups barbie treats ken absolutely terribly the entire movie
@@connormccallen6583what about the scene where Ken cries near the end?
"I am death, destroyer of worlds"

my cheeks hurt so much by the end of the movie from smiling; my brain needed the dopamine
Same, so much energy
if you look closely, I think the Barbie movie - outside of the cars - is a slight product placement too.
Clearly a Chevrolet commercial 😂
The whole thing is an extended advert for Barbie/Mattel
I enjoyed it
The serious parts of the movie felt a little weak
The ending felt kinda long and random
Ryan Gosling was awesome
I loved the ending, but that’s maybe because I used Barbie so much when I was younger plus I’m a girl so I really loved the montage of just, girls being human
@@BegMajcuz the ending was written for those once little girls that played barbie
@@maragotka2361 and isn’t it amazing??
Yes, the ending was kinda long but I think it's still a perfect ending for the movie. Surprisingly Barbie is a very well fleshed out arc
@@BegMajRuth Handler embracing Barbie's arc makes the ending even better
Me praying he says masterpiece because I personally really loved it
Me too, I love Greta Gerwig, and I was excited to see this project, and I can't wait to see what she does next.
I actually enjoyed Barbie, it's silly, goofy fun, though it hammers in its message a bit TOO much. Also, Will Ferrell's character probably didn't even need to exist, as I kept forgetting about his storyline.
Weird how Will Ferrell has TWICE played a "evil" CEO business man in a Warner Bros film about a popular children's toy
I only remember about his storyline cause of how funny he delivers his role as this "over the top" ceo.
honestly he was unnecessary for the plot but he also has like 5 god tier lines so i dont really care
@@sam4gaming135 I believe it's deliberate. Will Ferrell as CEO this time is an allusion to Will Ferrell as CEO the last time.
That's the point, every man in the movie is pointless. It's intentional, there is something called the lampost test where every woman is replaced by a lampost and you see whether or not the movie's plot changes. Well here the lampost test passes for men which is almost unheard of in cinema.
i was waiting to hear your review on this as a casual watcher. as a black woman, i loved the first act, the production 100%, the comedy, acting (margot and ryan stood out to me the most) and gloria's monologue because i've felt like i've related to what she was saying at points and i was glad both the barbies and the kens equally found their own path, but i can't help but feel the execution of some of its message was lost on me, particularly towards the end. idk if it was trying to encapsulate into barbie, a figure that for some people, represented perfection, that it was okay for women to simply be normal, or that barbie, as a concept was as out of touch with reality and needed to connect with women more. i thought they would show more than tell with its feminist message, but maybe the direct messaging of the patriarchy was intentional with both its ironic/social-commentary comedy or its just me from seeing it today for the first time. either way, i liked it but it didn't live up to most of my expections as to what it would deliver; it kind of reminds me of what i thought "don't worry darling" would be versus what it was, except barbie is 100% better than that movie, but i just expected more.
edit: from reading more analyses of the movie, it makes a bit more sense to me now. it was an overall fun movie, and i'm glad i could have time to laugh and think, but i think somethings just fell a bit flat like i said above (execution of its message etc.) went from 7/10 to 8.5/10
Lost you at "as a black woman".
@@DLites151no one cares
I agree! I wasn't a fan of the over the top preachy message, I thought they overdid it.
I feel like the message of the movie would've been revolutionary 50 years ago lol but not now.
besides that (& the horrible ken dance battle thing), I kinda liked it
@@DLites151 irdgaf feel the need to say it so people don't assume.
@@indiesunflowers i agree, though i liked the movie since i don't think it wanted to be revolutionary, just a "what if" movie but for barbie. though, i still felt some of its messages were (not "ham-fisted", but just not delievered the way i would've wanted them to) not anything got to do with the kens, "misandry" or whatever that some people are complaining abt, but the addressing the themes of the human condition and feminism.
It was eye candy from the start. It was like a huge scale real life theatre production. They nailed camp too, without making it gimmicky or over the top.
The detail in the set, clothing, the perfectly toned colour palette. Margo Robbie is perfectly cast. She looks like Barbie but she has the talent to portray the depth of the character and not lose any of it behind the costumes and fantasy.
Same for Ryan Gosling, absolutely perfect casting. He was fantastic. Same for will Ferrell, honestly it was a dream cast.
Remember when youd watch movies as a kid, from the 80's and they had this 'larger than life' feel? Thats what feeling this gave me. I felt like it deserved every second of my attention, i felt like i was in it and beinf a girl who grew up Barbie obsessed i felt like a kid again.

@@ciaraskeleton The message was loud and clear. 'Men are fools' 'Men are all bad' 'Men don't deserve equality'. They knew exactly what they were doing.

Hollywierd is a very sick place these days.
i did the barbenheimer double feature today and I knew what I was getting into emotionally with oppenhimer but holy shit that barbie ending hit me like a truck
I cried at both lol
I'm so glad I didn't now that I just got back from watching Barbie. There was a lot being thrown at you through dialogue and I also cried. Need some buffer for Oppenheimer after that hahaha, and I'll be seeing it tomorrow. It'll be another type of existentialism for me, I'm sure.
I did it too and it was an experience. Barbie left me hopeful and Oppenheimer left me depressed again.

I saw a showing at 3pm on Thursday. Woke up on Friday, and couldn’t stop myself from seeing the noon showing 😂
Philosophical stuff...You mean the extremely obvious message from the writers that it's ok to view half of the human race as useless misogynistic idiots.

@@JJ-lr9sv Thankfully I wasnt subjected to woke misandry like Barbie. It should be considered abuse to take kids to that man hating trash movie.
This movie was hilarious, but I hate how black and white the commentary painted the world. It felt like the two moral options were two opposite extremes of a spectrum with no in between, and (while I’m not Plato) I don’t think that’s what the world needs right now.
I think the film is pretty self aware of that though and kind of acknowledges and makes fun of it, Ken going around expecting to get important jobs just because he’s a man was a pretty good example lmao, I think it makes it clear there’s more nuance to the real world

Other way around for me. Knew Barbie would be great going in from all the praise from the actors and it was wonderful, but hoooooly shit I had no expectations for Oppenheimer and it left me speechless coming out-- it felt almost like I was having a panic attack after it ended.
this is sarcasm right? Because Barbie was just some politically charged mediocre movie with top tier hype. It's nonsensical and could see an argument for it being a hidden dystopian fan fic comedy.

I completely geeked out seeing some of those designs used in the movie .
i went from so excited and amazed by the set design and framing, to laughing my ass off, to crying, right back to laughing again. i'm in love with this movie, it was a rollercoaster.
Hell yeah brother
I was pretty disappointed with how surface level the whole movie was.
With it opening with the space odyssey intro, I was hoping for a more darker cosmic horror thing I guess. I was especially disappointed how convenient and boring it was for the characters to get to the real world.
I was jsut very disappointed with the absolute barebones story and very surface level and message.
Are you gay
"I am Kenough" is a phrase that has been etched into my brain forever.
I enjoyed it a lot…could’ve been 10-15 minutes shorter but I liked it.
The cosplay + all pink was fun…I felt underdressed😅😂I wore the same all black fit that the Kens wore during “I’m Just Ken” at least
Saaame i have put on pink pj pants and a heart top with my black leather jacket ~ and dirty white shoes. It was weirdly dressed bu ti love it
I loved the messages this movie had to offer. You should never feel pressured to be what someone else wants you to be. You need to be yourself and find your purpose yourself
You mean the message that almost every pg13 movie has? Really ground breaking stuff here
I don’t know it was like you can’t say that we are wrong because your sexist
@@CaptainFracturebro crying over a kids movie
The message was 'All men are bad' 'bash men' 'treat men like second class citizens' 'men are all fools'. The movie is hateful poison and no kid should be allowed anywhere near it.
@@fairygodmother139 a kids movie where the intended audiences are adults and young adults?
U mentioning the Lego movie remind me of a gag, ' If I had a nickel for everytime Will Farrell played an evil business man in a licensed toy movie, I'd have two nickels. It's not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice'
It was kinda of sad. Like this story of someone whos life got turned upside down when reality was not the desirable yet, has opened their eyes to overcome their sheltered existence to live. There was a lot of crying. A lot of pro female power. A lot of what life and death mean. I feel bad for America's character bc she didnt really have much of a story besides the mother daughter dynamic that "magically" healed during the montages. They didnt deal with why the daughter was growing distant. They made it seem she was a single mother at first only to introduce the father in a comical cultural poke randomly.
Maybe the true Barbie was the friends we made along the way.
lol it's from wonka trailer 😂😂😂
Thank you for saying Ken was Gosling’s Kendall Roy, truly the best sentence of all time
I went to see it with my sister and both of us absolutely lost it multiple times. Seeing a really good comedy in a theater is such a fun experience.
I think the issue here is that the movie is going to be watched by all manners of people when the target audience itself is actually very niche in the sense that the messaging and core “feel” of the film will only really be understood by anyone whose ever played with a Barbie doll when they were a kid.
As someone who did, I actually really enjoyed the movie and the ultimate message it was conveying about Barbie truly being able to do anything. Plus, I think the whole matriarchy vs patriarchy thing was super smart when you consider that most young girls would imagine their dolls in matriarchies anyway. 😅
Imma have to disagree on the last one. The movie was very biased in its matriarchy vs patriarchy lesson. It showed one as evil while the other as good when they both have there demons to them. I think the barbies and Ken's should've made a new system. Like what was the point if nothing would change on that front.
@@coffiebreak2236 that was my one complaint. i think the movie wouldve been way more impactful when addressing gender equality if the barbies acknowledged that the system they had before ken took over was flawed in itself too and they restructured society after, but i get it, its a movie for young women
@@coffiebreak2236 I thought that too initially when mayor Barbie said the Kens would still be secondary in Barbie land because the real world is a patriarchy but honestly, I don’t really mind? Clearly it was supposed to be humorous after the Kens realised that their entire existences don’t have to hinge on Barbie. I think the bigger takeaway was that patriarchy negatively affects both men and women and in that sense, this movie shows that well. The matriarchy itself was less about the message and more about replicating what a little girl would envisage her Barbie dolls in.
“Should’ve made a new system”.
Isn’t that what they did? Mayor Barbie literally tells the CEO of Mattel that they don’t want to go back to the old system and both Stereotypical Barbie and the Kens pursue their own independent paths.
my husband is actually stoked to see it with me. My tomboy daughter who never played w Barbie’s said it was one of the top most entertaining movies she’s seen and it made her happy cry.
And as long as the current reality is still overwhelmingly run by men then I’m totes ok with an imaginary world where the opposite is true, if only to help men imagine themselves in the position women have been in for centuries 😅. They do essentially create a new system acknowledging that the old one was flawed.
Honestly the movie was great all through, my only complain is just how shortly they dove into ken’s issues and how in a way it reflects male problems, i loved the idea of reversing the roles for Barbie land, but the way they downplayed what ken felt (I’m more talking about Barbie being a terrible person towards him) it’s a bit annoying, but other than that, I loved the movie!
The Ken's got absolutely shafted in this movie
@@TheShapeshifter true, more rights for kens! I enjoyed that they at least reached a compromise at the end regarding ken rights
Because she’s the star but Ken, get over it. Men aren’t the centre of the world
@@fairygodmother139 thats not my problem, you've missed the point, i love that they touched on all the real problems women face, and even went as far as to touch a little bit of the problems men also face, but the ending felt like it didn't finish it well, or it was finished on a rush, so it was over simplified. One point does not invalidate the other.
@@fairygodmother139lol you’ve literally replied to every comment I’ve seen about men. Which man hurt you 💀
I can’t talk about the movie anywhere since I’m a 15 year old boy who has friends that don’t get any of the jokes and don’t understand the movie too well.
i always get excited to see what color bordering you use in your videos. i like the purple.
white bordering has still gotta be my favorite though
"A child whose excited to tell you all the things she has to say, and all of them are funny and interesting"
That is absolutely thee most perfect way to describe this movie
not that I thought you would, but I'm glad you didn't seem to critique the feminism message as pandering or man-hating. This movie was so freeing to me as it adressed a lot of feminism issues in a comedic way. It was really a relief that it didn't portray fight equality as "I'm an angry women cause f men!", and I felt sad when some early reviews from a couple of men interpreted it like that
That has been the trend . I don’t like hearing patriarchy and opresion every 15 minutes not gonna lie
I'm a woman & it still felt man-hating to me.
when they got to the real world, ALL the men were immediately terrible , & then all the kens turned bad when they got a taste of the real world. I don't see how it's not man-hating tbh but I'm open to learning
soz that all these losers replied to ur comment
@@indiesunflowersI mean, the movie ends on the notion that the Kens were justified in wanting something different, they just ended up going too far and flipping everything instead of enacting real change
@@indiesunflowers I feel the same here. I don't like having to make one gender a 'villain' just to make the other gender look good. Why can't there be a mix of villains? Or why even have a villain? I saw Nostalgia Critic talk about the movie, and he suggested just focusing on Barbie, the mom, and the daughter. That would have been nice. I want to watch movies that are feminist without being reminded that people think men are just terrible and are always jerks. It rubs a lot of people the wrong way, and the fact that women are complaining about the issue should say something.
I love Greta Gerwig, especially her version of little women. For barbie though I’ve never been in a cinema so full of people laughing, crying and just having a good time 💗
This was the longest commercial for Barbie I ever sat through
i’m seeing it in a few hours, so excited 💓
People fail to understand that being the antagonist and being the villain is different. The antagonist challenges the protagonists beliefs. Ken is the antagonist, doesn’t mean he's the villain though.
He definitely is a villain, but so are the Barbies.
Margo killed it and I’m so glad she produced it too. America Ferrera and Michael Sera were my favorite side characters. Overall such a fun time!
I’ve been saying this since his performance in The Nice Guys but Ryan Gosling is one of the greatest comedic actors of our generation and Ken really is the role he was born to play because it combines his dream boy dramatic background with his comedic genius. He absolutely deserves AT LEAST a best actor nom.
Unfortunately for me i really wanted to like this movie more than i did the first hour or so i was having so much fun i loved the way barbie land look with everything looking like plastic even the way objects and people fall over looked like a kid gliding through the air by hand however towards the third act of this movie where i started thinking "this movie is going to create some interesting conversations" for a movie that seemed like it was marketing for everyone i cant help but to feel like its going to divide its audiance instead of bringing them together
I thought the movie handled the social commentary in the best way possible by using comedy. I assume you saw the movie but there are spoilers in this comment. To me, there wasn't a bad guy. There were just some severely misguided characters like Ken. Ken thought the only way he can be of any value is if Barbie loves him. When Barbie rejected him, he thought that if he implemented patriarchy, he would finally be seen, and respected. In the end, Barbie helped Ken realize that he is valuable not because of his girlfriend or status, but because he is Ken. Ken had an amazing arc in this movie. Stereotypical Barbie's arc is a little more complicated because she ends up in an existential crisis when initially all she wanted to do was fix her body.
It does poke fun at allll the viewpoints as a commentary about the doll’s cultural significance. The only people I’ve seen getting upset about it all have one thing in common. They can dish it out, but they can’t handle anyone questioning their beliefs or pointing out problems with it.
I wish they would’ve done Ken’s fashion show like in the toy story movie
Just saw it. I thought the ending was really disappointing. They should have suggested that the kens and Barbies work together as equals moving forward but instead, they decided to be petty and keep them relegated as second class citizens like in the “real world”. Annoying as hell.
I was also disappointed by that!
dude i thought the exact same thing! when we switched to their constitution after the ken showdown i was really hoping they were gonna bust in and demand a place in their little parliament and live in harmony lol; but i suppose its supposed to be some sort of reversed metaphor for how women have been treated that way in political settings
I thought it was perfect. At the very least to help men see themselves in the position that women have been in for centuries. As long as the real world exists as it is, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with an imaginary world like the Barbie one.
Didn't Prez Barbie literally say things shouldn't go back to the way things were, and for the first time, the Kens were allowed to have a seat in politics? The only they were told they couldn't do was immediately become a supreme court justice, which imo seems more than fair. I got the impression that they could have the same positions as Barbies, they've just gotta work hard for it.
That would be ideal, but as a guy, i enjoyed it and thinking what it would be like if roles were literally reversed and there was a men's suffrage movement, etc. Just an interesting thought experiment
I think it’s a great and smart film that’s messy at parts, 4 stars
Went to the movies expecting Oppenheimer to be the much better film but I was mistaken. I liked Barbie slightly more and they were both great lol
Agreed,I went into the film completely blinded without knowing about any of the controversy surrounding the film. I actually liked it ! Like he said in the video it's a beautiful film. I enjoyed the colorfulness,the props, and the cinematography that the movie offers. What I got out the film. It felt like watching a music video at time. Well I think what the movie is trying to say is to be yourself and don't rely on other people to become great. And what I also got out the film is that the barbie doll is perfect and barbie doesn't want to be barbie anymore because she realizes she's not perfect which explains the ending montage of all the imperfect daughters and mothers. I did not think this movie was sexist or attacking men and I didn't get offended at all.i actually did like it when ken was crying, dancing, and laughing I think the film actually shows men have emotion too. That's what I got out the film
I loved the movie I really love the concept of perfectism and I love how it showcases finding a self of idenifty between men and woman
"I am become a Barbie girl, a destroyer of Barbie worlds"
Ryan gosling was my favorite and he was really the reason I liked the movie.
you better say ridiculously good karsten or i will cry
Also love the irony that (from comments and reviews) it seems that a vast majority came away from a feminist (right?) movie thinking a man was the best part of it 😂
ikr i was thinking that too. Yet even still, it's hard to deny that Ryan Gosling as Ken was SUPER DUPER charismatic the entire time. I was laughing every time he was on screen.
I absolutely loved the film, there were a few things that could’ve been cut out but it was definitely a really good film, it proves even though women fight for things they can change back, I think kens personality was defiantly funny, I recon they could’ve added a few more things but defiantly very good! I suggest you watch!
Yet there’s a biological guy playing a barbie
@@imwatchingonyoutube5024margot robbie is not a mal
Also that Billie Eilish song fits perfectly and hits all the feels.
i work at a theater. flocks of girls & women in pink flooding in to see barbie. were so busy were calling it barbenheimer
Masterpiece. Perfect balance of fun and substance. Great for people who aren’t entertained by empty fluff.
My 16 month old girl was freaking out over this movie. We took her to the drive in, she was waving at the screen and dancing through the film. I will say she does not get screentime and does not at this time have a Barbie, I guess she will be getting a Barbie pretty soon!
All the guys on here complaining that this movie “hates men” or is “anti-man” are probably all the same people who say “nobody can take a joke anymore!”
Exactly 💀
I think the emotional beats to make me cry flew me over, but man what a funny, incredibly poignant movie. I'm sure a lot of reviews from men are going to see *that scene* and think they're being talked down to or something, but it's such a great message and incredibly heartwarming to see a movie like this in 2023. It truly does feel like a blast from the past.
Yeah, the ending where they go back to being useless after the movie portrays them as sexist and destructive. It's TFA all over again. In a year the hype is gone and you'll see this as the terrible shitty product it always was.
It’s really fun but it was so wa wa being a women so hard
@@epicsponge7934you’re clearly just a man that’s hurt that but every movie is about you
@@epicsponge7934I kinda agree it was a bit like shoved in our face in the movie and the movie only shows the good parts of being a man but none of the bad bits, like crime, gangs, war, suicide etc. etc, which I understand because this movie was meant to be light-hearted and was targeted towards women.
@@user-zy7jx2rn1j I disagree that it only showed the good parts of being a man. The whole "Kendom" was supposed to show how toxic masculinity negatively affects men as well. From the beginning, the narrator stated that it would only be a good day if Ken was acknowledged by Barbie, and at the end it drove home the point about how a lot of modern men feel that external factors (like having a girlfriend) determine their self worth.
Wow, this movie was some of the most fun I've had watching a movie in years. It had me smiling and laughing and feeling from beginning to end. A triumph from a writing, acting and visual standpoint.
Only watching this for Ryan Gosling (hes literally me)
Hey thanks for watching my movie
This movie was just a masterpiece. The kind of movie I can see myself looking back at in 40 years and still getting excited about it. Whether from a production standpoint, or the storyline, the acting. Take your pick.
Having grown up around only women as a guy I was always a feminist, but it almost felt like Barbie reintroduced me to it. I've seen countless takes on it from the view of women, but I feel like the superficiality of Barbie as a character or concept made it seem quite different. And besides that, seeing all those stories on social media about people's experiences watching the movie warms my heart
Ain’t no way bruh 💀
@@poopinbabe8972ikr lmaooo
A teen thinking they understand the world/politics and calling someone a fascist was so realistic. 10/10.
Yeah, it's a great movie and the production and costume design are definitely Oscar worthy. But it's not the kind of movie that gets Oscars for acting...
Some actors did an amazing job portraying their character, but a lot of the actors in the movie…well, let’s just say you could tell they were having fun.
I'm also only interested in Barbie because of Greta Gerwig. Personally far more excited about Oppenheimer but seeing Barbie the very next day
I loved this movie for so many reasons. My only critique is I wish they delved into the relationship between the mom and daughter a bit more. I feel like they set up to go more in depth with them and then just forgot about it
I was gaslit into thinking this was going to be good
Barbie is literally me.
This movie was a dissappointment. It did not keep in line with traditional Barbie movie feel. If you've watched every Barbie movie tv show with your kids you'll get what i mean. This was NOT Barbie and Ken, it was two completely different personalities. It was confusing, way too political with adult Themes. My young kids thought it was wierd! Do not recommend if your looking for the real Barbie.
1:16 I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 🌺
The whole theatre applauded at one point and both my daughters loved it.
The movie was perfect for me. Yea the message was kinda preachy, especially when the mother spent like 3 minutes talking about how every women's life sucks, but they did make some good points and the costumes and comedy made up for it. The only thing I actually hated about it was the daughter. She was a major brat and she never apologized to her mom for being a jerk
And funnily enough, the daughter and her friends are references to the Bratz dolls 😭 I felt the same way as well though.
You’re so right about Ken being Ryan Goslings Kendall Roy role
Just two Kens being sad and not knowing what they are outside their “purpose”
I’ve had a plan to watch this with someone for half a year and they dropped out a day before it came out
lmao I had the same situation with my friend and I was the one who dropped out because my friend(now ex-friend) is an asshole
The walls in my theater must have been pretty thin, because I could feel and hear the impact of every explosion from the Oppenheimer movie next door. Every time it happened, I thought there was an explosion in the Barbie movie and something crazy was about to go down. Did anyone else have this experience?
