My issue is Greta made this movie with a disingenuous idea that women have absolutely no power in the real world and that Mattel is run completely by men with no female board members (not counting 1 secret character). When in reality, half of Mattel's board members are female and the longest running CEO was female
But you can't let FACTS get in the way of pushing an agenda, right? ;-) I'm not surprised that they basically lied about that stuff for the movie. They don't want up and coming young women to realize there's already equality in the work force, as long as women are willing to work as hard as men do.
I want to go see the movie to confirm if everything they say is true. I totally agree with your comment. The message may seem good or bad to you, but if Barbie lies to you then she would be giving a bad message.
@@camilaburgos8383 I bet it is lying to people overall. Barbie used to be something non political until retards decided to ruin it. I haven’t watched the movie but I just know it’s bad from peoples’ reactions and Misha’s testimonies.
Yeah im pretty sure Greta herself does just fine as well lmao. Imagine making the kind of money she is making and thinking women are opressed. Totally dillusional!
Ive asked his a million times before and never gotten a serious answer form anyone. Can you name the movie that puts woman down thats come out in the last fifty years? Im tired of being asked to pretend such a movie exists.
They really should have ended the movie with both the Barbies and Kens realizing absolute power of either gender is bad, and they should be equal citizens. But it basically ended with Kens still being second class citizens (but now have a very tiny slice of power). But it is a Barbie movie, I understand. I just think they shouldn't have had Kens at all instead of making all the men look like complete idiots
when the barbies took over barbieland once again and ken was shown crying in her bed I genuinely thought that they were about to have a heart to heart about the kens not wanting to go back to their old "oppression." when they instead went for "i'm kenough" i was dumbfounded. if the roles were reversed feminists would throw a fit because it's patronising af
@@animationeditz5570 Keep telling yourself that. The entire message to men is stop trying to be leaders. I cannot wait for a TRUKLY patriarchal society to take over the west. It will either be islam or east asian orthodoxy but most likely LIKELY islam. America is utterly defenseless against it as it is now ran entirely by girl brain.
@@Justarandompersononyoutube. This isn't the 1980s anymore, in reality, half of Mattel's board members are female. The longest running CEO of Mattel was a woman. Is equality perfect yet? no, but to present the movie like no women in the real world have any important jobs and women have absolutely no power is ridiculous.
I think alot of parents just saw barbie and colorful imagery and didn't even check the rating they just assumed. A woman where I am walked out with her kids and got really mad about it not being for kids. She acknowledged that she should have checked the rating as well. This is an ongoing issue. Movies are being made that would only be for children when we were kids, and now they are mostly for adults. That why I am on it all the time, even if the rating is appropriate, I will often watch things first.
I always look at the rating of a movie before I go, and the Barbie movie was rated for teens and older. There were SO MANY parents there with young kids and I was thinking, "Did you guys not read the reviews?"
@blueiris1542 as a parent of 4, I just don't get why they wouldn't care, but then I was being brought to rated R movies all the time by my Mom when I was as young as 5, but my Mom is pretty crazy, so yeah.
Surprised to see Gerwig completely fall from grace and bend over backwards for the rainbow mob, yes. In my circle at least, her previous films Lady Bird and even Little Women were appreciated by men just as much as women. They were just good agenda-free films, which we need more of in modern day cinema.
@@___xoxo___No. Second wave feminists hated Barbie. Watch The Simpsons episode about Malibu Stacy, it is an analogy as how Barbie was perceived as "submissive" by feminists.
I think the biggest problem is victim-mentality. For some reason there's a literal race in "who's being more oppressed?" and i find it sickening. It's like people nowadays take pride in their (apparent) oppression and not in their freedom
It’s like a game. Except with real people. With real feelings. And the misleading feeling that there’s a “winning victim” when really it’s just an unhealthy spectacle.
The marketing was regrettably the most amazing marketing job I think I have ever seen. It is likely why so many parents are taking their kids to see the movie. They marketed it as being a movie for all ages. The trailers never really even showed the rating of the movie anywhere. It’s like a classic bait and switch, but dressed up in pretty colors.
Idk how anyone can assume this is for kids, I knew from the jump this wasn’t a kids film. But that’s how they indoctrinate nowadays they use kids products as Trojan horses for Ideology.
Pretty sure she has light makeup, you can tell by the lightning under her eyes, which is concealer. Maybe a lip tint/gloss and a pinch of blush. However she is, regardless, very beautiful.
My mom and siblings went to see the movie yesterday. At some point, two girls around my age (early 20s) were full on sobbing about the speech on feminism. Pretty much everyone at the screening were annoyed at how loud they were being and they concerned the elderly ticket taker on the way out. Apparently they cried all the way to their car in parking lot lol
"full on sobbing" hahaha hilarious... I wish I could see that in real life.... 🤣 well at least they care passionately about something, when I was in my early 20s I could barely come up with logic for my own beliefs and ideals!
yeah I've seen a lof ladies on tiktok defending this movie and speaking badly about *u know what*, this movie really did influence audiences into to thinking we still live in patriarchy
i start questioning my friends that took this movie as a satire. guys, this is not a satire. the message is poorly delivered that you think it's a satire 😭😭😭
The fact that people think this is satire just shows how ridiculous the woke movement has gotten, to the point where we can’t even tell if they’re being serious or not
I'm fairly certain that the intention was to pass it as a radical feminist movie pretending to be a satire of itself. That way the audience is duped into believing it's a parody, critics are left confused, and the feminists get to relish in their success at delivering their "message". This is actually a very common tactic that the woke and EDI use. It's soooo common. Just pretend that they are not what they are accused of while simultaneously doing that which they are accused of. How they continue to get away with it really boggles my brain. It's also psychopathic manipulation and deception.
It just feels like a massive slap in the face as a long term Barbie fan, loved it as a kid, watched all the movies, I have most of them on DVD now as an adult (which to some is probably weird lmao they’re nostalgic for me so) so of course I was excited to see this movie as you can imagine, especially since they didn’t show any of the woke stuff in the trailer, it just looked like a fun movie. And seeing all the controversies around it I wanted to believe people were just blowing things out of proportion and maybe it wasn’t actually THAT bad… no it WAS that bad. The narrator of the movie especially just irritated me to no end, only one of the narrators lines I laughed at was when she was talking about how no one uses the stairs when playing with their barbie. This movie could have been so much better and I wanted it to be, I wanted it to have the same magical feeling the cartoon movies did. It’s insulting honestly…
to be honest, I hate woke stuff, and I watched Barbie and I didn't think it was that woke. It's was very "girl power" and "girls can do anything". I'm not sure I saw so much male bashing. It's not like they said, "castrate all heterosexual white men". I don't know, maybe I'm denser and slower than most.
@@danielkim7841 I agree. I feel like most of the "male bashing" was more making fun of being extremely over the top masculine rather then actually making fun of men. Some of the jokes at the end of the movie (with the kens being satisfied with barely having any power) were in a bit of poor taste but it didn't ruin the movie at all for me
The trailer. The trailer was guilty of that. Maybe on purpose. Those scumbags know people mostly hate that sh*t, so they hid that on purpose in the trailer, making many want to go and watch it.
@@LautaroTessi There are legitimately people who have seen it and make the claim that it's just a silly fun doll movie, and deny the misandry that in reality makes up most of the movie.
I saw both Oppenheimer and Barbie. One movie was fantastic and the other has Ryan Goseling in it. “I’m just Ken” was the only unironically good part of the movie.
I actually interpreted the barbie movie as a subtle critique on woke culture. Woke people don't notice this, so they like the movie, but if you look deeper, it's about how wokeness is just as oppressive and contradictory as patriarchy. I thought it showed that if the woke world keeps going this way, it will become "reverse" oppression like with the kens, covering the truth with pink and smiles when in reality it is messed up. The movie also acknowledged binary gender differences instead of being filled with a bunch of made up genders. They casted thin, attractive white people without demonizing them or "calling out their privilege." The theme is that for a just world, we have to make room for everyone. Both the extreme right and extreme left create hierarchies and oppression, so we have to meet in the middle, like how the barbie movie began to integrate kens into the government and roles of power.
And if a guy made a movie like this but let's switch the gender roles so that it is directed towards women then all hell would break loose and the director guy would get put on trial and possibly even executed that is hypocrisy at its finest
Can't we just be entertained anymore? It's exhausting to be lectured to on every medium. I find that I am re-watching old TV shows and movies to escape.
I liked the Mario movie. I was never into Mario, but the movie was just cute. Princess Peach is a fighter, but also pretty. Mario is trying to save his brother. The villan has a goal I won't ruin for you. There is a mushroom theme that is amusing. Was it the best movie I've seen? No, but it was much better than what the have been pumping out of studios. We bought it mostly to support it.
That's the thing: the Princess is originally a damsel in distress, not a fighter. She could have never been portrait as victim in the movie, not even as satire. Why are people accepting Barbie doing that?
@@redacted2275 Spoilers: Peach actually was a damsel in distress during a later part of the movie, specifically the wedding scene. If it wasn't for Mario and Toad, she would have had no way out from the wedding. Plus, it's not like she's never been portrayed as a fighter, as she fights alongside Mario in games like Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario RPG, and she even comes to Mario's rescue in Super Princess Peach. I do feel like they did sacrifice a bit of her more "girly" traits, but it's nowhere as drastic as everyone worried it would be.
The princess was not only a damsel in distress, there are many Nintendo games that show different behavior of her. 1988 she was a playable character in Mario bros 2, in 2005 she saves Mario&Luigi in her own jump’n run. She always was driving a Kart since 1991 and beating up in Smash bros. So the movie is doing totally fine to show all the Facetten, Nintendo gave her character in all the years. As a long term Nintendo player, I really liked the movie for being a great adaption.
AGREED. It’s a fun movie which is quite rare these days 🤦🏾♂️. And the way they took inspiration from the games and made it into a movie was very creative.
There already is a modern take on Snow White. Mirror Mirror. Not a masterpiece, but I can already predict it is going to be 100 times better than whatever the fuck is coming. As for Barbie, whenever I see my cousin play house, Ken is either the big bad villain, or the kissing partner for Barbie. The fact that they went out of their way to give Ken a character arc, and imply "hey, maybe extreme feminism is a bad idea" is a God damn miracle.
I love the movie mirror, mirror, and the new snow white looks, horrible. also I have a similar story with seeing my little sister playing with dolls, and Ken needs Justice!
@@pineappleart Mirror mirror is not a perfect movie, but a perfect adaptation. Love is not kissing an underaged corpse in forest. Love is not kryptonite for women that needs to be avoided for power and independence. Love is someone passing the potatoes.
A good movie that I think everybody should see is Sound of Freedom. I saw it last night and it was sad, but also eye-opening. However, I also saw Barbie and I enjoyed it. I think that regardless of political views, we need to be open minded and willing to try new things. I'm a centrist, so I try to find the middle ground between both sides because in modern day politics, both sides act incredibly stupid. Both sides are responsible for things being blown out of proportion. Both sides think they have to turn every movie and tv show into a debate, making it impossible to just have fun every once in a while. I think both sides have gone too far, but I have to admit, I am more right-leaning, but I am still incredibly critical of both the right and the left. Both sides act like children. It's tiring. And nowadays, both sides will attack you for being an independent/centrist. While I didn't agree with some of the political messages in Barbie, I still enjoyed the movie. Anyways, I love your channel, Misha, I agree with a lot of your views! 😊👍
The left controls all of the institutions and pushes all the bullshit. Then the right takes an issue with it. When the arguing ensues centrists like you come along, "WOW you're both arguing! You're the same!" Centrists like you are the problem, in some ways more so than the left
Oppenheimer. It was brilliant. A lot of layers to the story. A lot of politics, science and it also shines light on how media and criminal justice worked back in the 2nd World War. I think Oppenheimer is my new favourite film, based on the fact that it has a lot of layers to it.
@@PluteyGames no, but in the movie, Oppenheimer did read the Hindu holy book, the Bhagavad Gita, and quoted the Hindu god, Vishnu's, dialogue. "I have become death, the destroyer of worlds." right before the scene with Florence Pugh. Interesting fact, the real Oppenheimer also read the Gita and stated the exact same quote.
@@aryamanbhadauria1584you forget the debate on whether the movie is pro-massacring japanese average joes, the debate has brought out the japanophobes who try to justify attacking two cities that had nothing to do with the dictatorship
As a conservative guy, I give it a 4/10. The worst part was portraying men as idiots. As if your car, your phone, the electricity you use, the roads you drive on, etc, weren’t invented or maintained by men
I just saw this movie yesterday. Only because my friends wanted to go. The humor was not funny, and the plot was all over the place. Even during the most touching parts, I didn't find it touching (coming from an infamous crybaby). I just laugh at it. The whole movie shat on the patriarchy, but it's literally the patriarchy in the "real world" that propells our society. These new wave feminists want equality, but aren't willing to work as hard as men.
I hate woke stuff but I didn't think it bashed men. I thought it was more like Barbie wanted more women in the real world and have her own in the real world. And Greta Gerwig couldn't possibly want a world without men, cuz she is married to a man, and she has her own male children, I don't know. I don't think it was the bra-burning, all men are evil type of feminism, but more girl power type feminism. I also thought Ken (Ryan Gosling) was made out to be thoughtful, emotional, sensitive, compassionate, and kind, and Great Gerwig made Ken (if he is to represent men) look likeable. And you are right, society does expect so much from men, men have to be tall, handsome, rich, educated, strong, take responsibility, hard working, and accomplished. It is hard to be a man too... if anything, men don't have it as easy and have it as a cake walk in life....
@@danielkim7841Just because she’s married to a man didn’t stop her professing to be a feminist. Feminists aren’t always consistent and often contradict themselves. The movie shows that her worldview hasn’t changed much even as she’s raking millions tricking people into thinking she’s saying anything profound.
Hello-let me help. Yes, the movie was totally anti-man and had no moral at the end of the movie. My mom and me walked out the theater in horror because all the movie accomplished was making Jon Travolta references, bagging on men, shoving that we live in a Patriarchy, and then saying that we should lower men and live in a Matriarchy instead. Also Ken was incredibly sympathetic because all he wanted was attention because he kept getting ignored. Hardly a villain and more of like a person who needed to break up with their toxic partner
@@dustinmiranda8424 I am so sick of people being pretentious in saying people didn't understand the movie. Maybe it is you that didn't understand. As a matter of fact, I am pretty sure it is.
I watched this with my wife and 19 year old daughter, I tried to enjoy it but it was soooo heavy handed and so negative we came out agreeing this was the weirdest movie with hated view and all hated the mothers speech. How this is getting so many positive reviews beats me...or does it "beach" me? 😭
Barbie is a vile, extreme misandrist woke propaganda... apart from its fanatical hate towards men there is that scene where little girls smash baby dolls heads with a rock - now that's purely demonic.
Sound of Freedom is a must watch - from what I’ve heard. It’s not available in Britain yet (and probably never will be since our new monarch and vast majority of MPs are of the ilk targeted in this film!!)
I work as a server at a client hotel. We had one group called Courageous Women which is basically women leaders from many companies coming together to celebrate which is awesome, but I overheard such a hateful conversation about how “my life would be so much easier if I had a penis between my legs” coming from someone that makes 6-7 figures a year it just made me laugh. I make 18 an hour… life isn’t just automatically easy for men and it’s gross that people seriously think that.
And that's what's frustrating. This concept could've worked if it was handled more level headed and with snappier execution. Take jabs at both extremes, highlight the double standards, the hypocrisy. And you could tie it up into a nice point that neither gender is superior to the other. We need each other in order to make civilization function.
But the "patriarichal" society is great. Without it you wouldn't have clothes, a mobile phone, a car or anything else you need. Get real or live in a cave, "man".
I think the point of the movie is that both the patriarchy and matriarchy are bad. I do see how they went a little bit too far with the sexual violence, but it serves the purpose of hyperbole (which is what the movie is, it needs to be taken to extremes to be understood). In the real world as well, the people that hear ken say he wants the patriarchy back are confused. I think he takes it too far after reading old fashioned books about the power of men. He comes from a land where men are nothing more than women extensions, he's excited to see he's worth smth. Which takes me to my next point, the movie shows that any extreme of power is hurtful to both sexes. The person in power has too much on their plate, while the other person is constantly seeking approval for the sex on top. In the end, Barbie encourages Ken to seek himself outside of Barbie. The point could've been more clear, but what it's saying is that the matriarchy is detrimental to everyone as well. Ken is hurt by the dynamic, and the pressure on Barbie hurts her as well. Ken also admits that he didnt like the patriarchy, he's just trying to be seen. He's doing all of those things that are seen as sexist (mansplaining, or the guitar thing) in order to be liked, to be approved. He cant even cry in public. The patriarchy not only hurts women, but also men. I think that a lot of people are going into this movie with bias, in order to find something woke or conservative about it. The film, although it couldve been better represented, tries to reach a compromise between the way we were and the way we're going. It's an attack towards sexist claims, but also towards anti-man feminism. Two things can be true at once. Lastly, Barbie very obviously maintains the idea that women can do whatever. I dont feel like thats changed. Edit: it also focuses on a very antiwoke connection, motherhood. The marvelous things of being a mother, of being feminine, of being a woman. Even though Barbie knows its hard in the real world, she decides she wants to be there, bcuz being a womanhood is beautiful. Men are shown stupid like they used to be shown in the past. Its not an attack on men, its an attack on the way we can end up seeing men if antiman feminism keeps existing.
Finally someone who understood! I thought it was a fun movie. It might have helped that I’m a gen xer who got a lot of the hidden humor a younger generation probably didn’t pick up on. I also went to a late show with other grown adults. The entire audience was laughing or crying. I like Misha but her take (like many commentators here) showed bias and much of it seemed to go right over her head.
I felt like it also had a theme about finding your own identity. Like, the original Barbie is viewed as being only good at being pretty, while other Barbie’s have careers and a purpose beyond their looks. She spent the movie finding herself. She grew out of just being pretty Barbie and is now in the real world, with many opportunities available to explore. And I think she was the best Barbie to unite the Kens and Barbies. All the Kens had zero identity except to be Barbie’s beau. So of course when he goes out into the real world and sees men have similar capabilities to what he’s only seen Barbie’s able to do, he of course is highly intrigued in figuring this out. In the end, Barbie and Ken are able to discover who they are by communicating openly and honestly, something that is lacking on both the left and the right more often than not. They are both able to conclude they are more than just pretty faces and they’re now free to explore who they are and journey to be their authentic selves, whatever that may mean to them.
I just saw Sound of Freedom last night, it was an amazing movie. But, I have to say that I also enjoyed Barbie. I'm a centrist, so I try to find the middle ground between both sides.
I quite enjoyed the movie, but I do think it could've been done better. For example, after the patriarchy was gone in Barbieland, I thought that now they can create an actual perfect world because Kens knew what it was like to be the undermined gender in matriarchy and Barbies knew what it was like to be the undermined gender in patriarchy, therefore they understood what the others were feeling during either matriarchy or patriarchy, but instead of that, we got matriarchy again. There was even a scene where one of the Kens asked Barbie president if they could have one Ken in the constitution (Or whatever the government was) and the BArbie president declined. I didn't really mind the way that it showed women being treated in the real world, because in certain parts of our world, it does happen, however, the rant that Sasha went on about Barbie didn't make much sense because as a kid that played with barbies, I never thought too much about it, I just saw the dolls, not some sexist idea of what a woman was supposed to be (because I was 5). I did also enjoy the ending, however, I do think that changes based on how you see it. I saw the ending as a message to everyone that you don't have to be your stereotype. When stereotypical Barbie decided she didn't want to be that anymore I chose to be a human and to me that showed that anyone can be whatever they want to be and that they can be more than their stereotypes. Overall I think that it's a pretty good movie, but not for kids.
Misha...you are such a breath of fresh air to YT! I love your channel...I love what you stand for. Your review about this movie is exactly what I would expect it to be, but you explain it in such a great way.
no they didn't nothing changed about barbie-land in the beginning and barbie herself was trying to revert back to the way she was, and when it did change twords the end with ken in charge, the spend the last chunk of the movie towards the end changing it back to the way it was, giving the kens a basiclly a bad deal at the end so they wouldn't try it again.
It's not weird, even my older family members grew up like that. It's just that nowadays they want to divide us (the woke people) and make us believe the other gender is evil.
Yeah there was some “boys rule girls drool” and vice versa as a child here and there, but we were kids when we did that stuff lol. But in most cases I never experienced guys talking down to girls or girls doing the same to guys in school. Sometimes all of this outrage feels manufactured. To clarify myself, because I know someone is going to write a whole rant, this does not mean that women don’t have struggles and a lot of problems they have to deal with that stem from men. I’m simply commenting on my childhood experience and even my teen years where I didn’t experience any such thing, the gender wars are largely something I’ve seen only online. That’s why they feel so fake and manufactured to me. Most women I’ve encountered in real life have just treated me like a normal human.
Nah apart of that, I’m just sad because I thought the Barbie movie was gonna be a fun, wacky, and silly film to enjoy over the summer but no.. here we are again where they’re trying to push their political views against us😤 I miss these times when people didn’t take things so seriously
literally omg, i was ready for a fun movie where barbie has to travel to the real world to find out how different it is and have fun with it. But instead it was just some political bullshit. people weren't lying when they said its more political than oppenhiemer.
The message is supposed to be about finding compromise and balance between men and women, yet it does the complete opposite! By using modern feminism, it shows men as stupid, irrelevant, funny at best, weak boys. Ken is basically antagonised when he discovers his masculine side, which is shown as destructive and evil. Not to mention the fireplaces scene, which is basically a message to men that they'll always be played with, and that there is no such thing as an honest relationship. As a woman, this scene left me with bitterness. It completely shatters the image of a relationship between man and woman. That basically empowers women by saying "Yess you can sleep with everyone and deceive all men! You were played with? Now YOU get to do the same! You're so strong, wow!" Of course, there were some touching scenes that showed the hardships of women, but overall it's just going from one extreme to another. There really was a potential to integrate both sides. When Ken and Barbie come to the real world, it could be shown as both sides understanding what it's like to be in other person's boots and how both of the worlds in some way neglect one side, and try to find the common ground. Can't we just respect one another, goddammit? Also, the funny thing is how Mattel changes it's campaign to current trends and social media. Overall, the acting, scenography and visual effects were truly amazing. However, the message that it brings only divides men and women further apart.
You clean missed the point. Ken’s entire arc is due to him having no identity apart from wanting to be Barbie’s boyfriend. He goes from being a simp to being Uber-macho, and is unhappy with both extremes.
'There really was a potential to integrate both sides.' No there wasn't, because it would have to reveal the truth and tell men to imagine having a 6 years longer life expectancy due to less work related stress, making up only 7% of workplace fatalities, 4% deaths due to war, 23% of suicides and homicides, 20% of the homeless, having people assume they are the victim when they initiated DV in the majority of cases, having laws that cannot identify them as perpetrators of r ape, having a 40% higher adoption rate and so on, and society doesn't want us to wake up to that reality
@ChienaAvtzon They shouldn't have kept matriarchy then. In any case patriarchy does not exist. In the UK we have near gynarchy where women are valued over men.
I had no idea what you mean, then I looked at it from conservative perspective and I think I get it but that's hardly the point of that scene, there was also a scene of little girls deforming barbies and misha said that she also played with barbies that way
I watch plenty of shows with fantasy violence, but toy mutilation in movies in general is very disturbing for me...I had to force myself to keep watching. I'm very glad my sister didn't see this. She's a sensitive soul who believes toys are sentient beings. She would have required therapy
There were some moments that I absolutely loved, the one where Barbie starts to feel more human emotions as she is sitting on the bench, looking at the old woman and thinking that she was beautiful, that the real world is not as perfect as Barbie thinks but still worth living in, she laughs when others do, sees leaves rustling in the wind, people having arguments, others loving each other's company and Barbie wants that, she doesn't want to be perfect and an idea, she wants the chaotic messiness and the beauty of our world which I thought was incredible, I actually broke down then and there, I know the way they portrayed men and treated the Ken's was unfair and ridiculous but there were also moments like these in the movie where it was not about feminism or gender equality but about being simply human and I loved this scene so much, it honestly shook me to my core💖
You forgot the ending when the Barbies took back barbieland and went back to being a matriarchy. A couple of the kens asked if they could work some of the jobs that the Barbies had and she said no. It was so pointless.
The president said that they could have a “lower circuit court judgeship” and the narrator said that Ken’s have to start somewhere… so Idk which part of that to u seems “pointless”
So to summarise, Barbie's decision at the end is: Better to serve in a patriarchy Than to reign in a matriarchy Thanks for clearing that up, feminists.
They will try, though I hardly believe anyone that attended and felt duped by how it was marketed and discovered it wasn't what they paid to watch... (bait and switch), not as many tickets will be sold for the sequel.
I just went to to see this in theaters with my younger sister and brother. And I’m so proud my newly 15 year old sister noticed how politicized this shit was , I just feel bad cuz she wanted to watch the Barbie movie for her birthday but it had to be a whole movie dunking on the half of the entire of the human race
i agree lol😭 sometimes i was laughing because the statements they made genuinely sounded satire and poking fun at feminism because of how absurd they were
Just found out that the teen girls were named after the Bratz dolls…can’t lie that’s hilarious and clever. I think the movie is intended to be satirical, but I also understand your points of concern. Love your channel!
I think some of the issues with MI Dead Reckoning was it was filmed in the height of Covid and they couldn't have too many people in a scene together, and I think some of them talking one at a time is to do with Covid concerns. I hope part 2 will feel more natural again
Politics aside, I mostly saw this movie about existentialism and what it means to find yourself in this ever-living world. which in itself is very intriguing
What can you expect from the director who completely changed "Little Women" - making it about feminism when it's about family. Some people see their favorite topic everywhere. You would be talking to them about apples and they would start about how men eat apples because men are garbage or something. My husband and I enjoyed the new Indiana Jones movie BTW. (Critics pretend it's all about the female character, but I beg to differ.)
Once I found out that Greta was behind Barbie a few months ago, I knew what was coming and I wasn't going to waste my time. In all fairness to other people, most of the people that I know didn't know her by name or ever watch her version of Little Women.
I dont think this movie is anti man, however this movie tried to convince it's audience that we still live patriarchy which is false since we have rights (going through bad experiences & struggle does not = oppression), same thing with matriarchal concept they brought up with barbieland, in animated barbie movies including the actual dolls, Kens did had jobs, they didn't need to be oppressed in order to be in the for-front which ironically in this movie Ken steals the show
This is basically like the Stepford wives. Kind of a horror but not really since the Barbies get hypnotized back into obedience (after the Ken takeover) and the Kens were basically put back into their place as second class citizens while being told "Maybe, we'll give you equality one day. But not really."
Came across your video Misha and I was impressed. You are so young. Very professional and articulate. It's nice to see that someone your age still has common sense. That means there's hope for this bizarre twilight zone world. God bless you young lady.
I'd give the movie a 5/10. Visually, the movie looks great, Barbie world actually looks like the toy sets brought to life. The movie also has plenty of moments that are just simple and lighthearted fun, and the movie is also surprisingly deep at times. However, the political messaging is absolutely atrocious and toxic, which is concerning considering the fact that the target audience is little girls.
Barbies are for little girls there should be no politics or anything inappropriate for their age. Its funny and disgusting that this movie is 13+ so kids who actually play with barbies cant watch it.
I actually enjoyed the movie plenty, but I didn't have very high expectations and I saw the "real world" part as a satire, too. It looked like it poked fun on the western glamorous girlboss version of feminism and the simplistic way in which it criticizes reality. And the ending was kind of endearing, Ken realizing he's not just an accessory, and Barbieworld starting to move to equality. It also made me think about how playing with baby dolls prepared us to become mothers, but playing with a Barbie was more like rehearsing womanhood. And the mother actually did make some good points, albeit a little on the nose. I was also amazed to realize I remember the pattern from the Barbie's house wall, as mine had the same😅 It's not the masperpiece the left make it out to be, but it was a fun watch to me. It's a shame a lot of conservative reviewers are too irritated by now to give it the benefit of the doubt.
I came away from the movie with exactly the same perspective, but there are a green details I missed that make it more complex: 1) Ken learns about the patriarchy not from men but from feminist propaganda 2) Ken can’t get a job in the real world without having qualifications, unlike in Barbieland 3) Ruth at the end calls patriarchy an “idea” on the same level as Barbie 4) The way that the oppressed Ken behaves when he “takes back power” from his supposed oppressors is a nod to toxic girl bosses. I actually now think that this movie is a battle of ideas, and that Barbie ultimately inspires women to think positively about their own life and is an antidote to the misery of being trapped in the world view of the “patriarchy”. And most of the anti-men stuff in this movie is actually low key subverting the validity of the patriarchy.
I actually think this movie is amazing because feminists and the director don’t even realize it’s inadvertently the most anti-feminist film we’ve seen in years. By going so hard into it’s propaganda, it shows how truly awful new wave feminism is. Also, the reason they had women enjoy the Kendom was to show that women who are happy “living under the patriarchy” are just brainwashed. I.e. any women who is happy in the real world due to their relationships with men are only that way due to brainwashing.
you know recently I told my class mate that before I watch the barbie movie I want to buy a barbie doll for enjoyment, and she accused me of participating in "CAPITALISM" it just shows how wokeness is becoming normalised in our society 😂
Thank you, Mishenka! I truly appreciate your take on it. Now I know enough about it to have a conversation, but don't have to see it! Keep up the good work!
However, perhaps the saddest thing about the Barbie movie is that many fully grown people do not understand that it is a fantasy movie, and not realistic in any way.🎬🎭😵💫
Hi Misha I agree wid u Barbie was trash n Insidious was awful but not on mission impossible 7 it was freaking awesome enjoyed every minute of it n honestly didn't realized how fast it ended despite being 165 minutes long super excited for da next part.
I hated the barbie movie. The whole thing was completely nonsensical
Год назад+3
It's amazing that these propaganda movies always turns out in the inverted way proving their own faults and their desires they miss with their ideology.
Want a good horror movie? Have you seen The Shining? I watched it back at uni out of pure curiosity to find out where the whole 'HEEEEEEEERE'S JONNY' line came from (because I thought it first came from an episode of Johnny Bravo lol). You should go watch that movie just for how well the characterisations are done!
What I never understand, is the whole idea that these writers are saying women are better than men in everyway, yet they are also the victims of men who are oppressing them?
Totally agree with this. My mom took me to see this and we both agreed it was really stupid and badly written. Ken (and Alan) really were the best parts of this movie, which made it even slightly digestible. Same vitriol as the feminist Ghostbusters movie, which also stars Kate McKinnon (yet she was kind of okay & kinda funny in both movies) they always make a point to sh*t on men any way they can and feed into their oppression points. Just a mess of a movie and it didn't make me feel great about watching it. As a kid of the 80s/90s (literally born the exact same day as the Barbie actress America Ferrera) I didn't feel any of that cozy nostalgia, even when they were showing somewhat similar outfits of the times.
Great work, Misha. I'm happy you're here with us on this earth, we need you. I've spoken with friends and family, people in my community, etc. about Barbie regarding the higher orders of thinking and the complexities in the movie (subtexts, constructions of the worlds, conflicting narratives, etc. as you mention). Most responses I receive are reductive or characterized by disinterest. I will be sharing this with folks as a point of clarity. Keep climbing.
I rewrote the movie because I’m tired of seeing everyone complain about it without providing anything to the table: The movie’s themes: both patriarchy and matriarchy are useless, men and women should work together, together they are stronger, and together they make the world complete. Story: Barbieland is ruled by the Barbie matriarchy, while Kens are told to stand back and do nothing, despite their potential being beneficial to Barbieland. However this all changes when something terrible happens in Barbieland, something none of the Barbies can fix. Barbie visits Weird Barbie for advice, because of how much experience she has. Weird Barbie claims that only Mattel’s CEO will know what to do, so Barbie plans her journey into the real world. Ken, being the supportive boyfriend and sidekick, joins her on her quest, despite her claiming she won’t need his help. As they travel through the real world, Ken realizes that men are just as important as women and that the real world is better than Barbieland because of that. When they finally meet the CEO, they explain the issue, but he claims that Barbies can do anything therefore they don’t need his help. Ken brings forward the idea of Kens trying to fix the issue, but the CEO waves him off. Ken seeks support from Barbie, but she proves to be just as skeptical because none of the Kens have ever done anything beneficial for Barbieland. Frustrated, Ken storms off with Barbie at his heels. As they make their way through the city, they witness a child nearly being hurt by (insert danger). Together, Barbie and Ken save the child, which leads to the realization that maybe the Kens are the solution after all. Together they return to Barbieland and share their discovery with the reluctant Barbies and Kens. Nevertheless, the Kens unite and attempt to fix the problem. But nothing changes. Everyone is desperate and hopeless. And then Barbie has another realization: all these times men and women helped each other in the real world… what if it was never about Ken nor Barbie, what if it was about their strengths combined? Together, Barbies and Kens unite their strengths to fix the issue, and they finally make it! This is a historical moment in Barbieland, one that will change their world forever. In the last scenes of the movie, all the Barbies and Kens do things together, making Barbieland a better place. And Mattel’s CEO witnesses this, mind-boggled and looking a little silly. The end. I know it still has flaws and I’m happy to fix them, but so far this is much better regarding storytelling and themes. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know. If you people are so bothered about the movie, actually do something about it. So far I’ve hardly seen anyone bring solutions, only criticisms.
Nah. The trash politics ruined any chance of this movie being genuinely good. It had a crap plot and told a toxic story. I did enjoy the aesthetics, cinematography, and performances though. The movie is a gold plated and polished turd. Sure it may look great and have some value, but it's still shit
Thank you for the nice review, Misha. I have the same problem: in year 2023 I don’t remember a single movie that I liked, although there were some not-that-bad TV series.
How do people get THIS annoyed at a movie? Isn’t that meant to be what the left do? If you don’t like it, fine, but don’t go online and making videos tearing it down like a butthurt leftist.
I think the movie was funny but i guess it's hard for some people to understand the irony of certain situations, scenes and jokes. For example : Barbie and Ken are toys, they are not intelligent nor have critical thinking*. Doctor Barbie has never practiced any kind of medical procedure. Ken is just Ken. You can't expect more from them. I'd like to stress out the fact that Barbie doesn't want to go in the real world (choosing the birk), she wants to stay in a comfortable high heels stereotypical Barbie role. You say way too quickly that she "of course" chooses to go. This is an important part of the movie.
The establishment of equality at the end of the movie was not clear at all and left me with a lot of question marks. I fear that some women especiallly younger women will interpret "Barbie" in a way that actually incourages them into revengful behaviours towards men who might have wronged them in any way. I believe the movie did not reach it's potential, does anyone else feel like that?
I personally felt as though it was not anti-men at all. Ken was portrayed in the same way that women have been portrayed in many movies, shunned to the side and only there to pine after Barbie who doesn't even care about him. This wasn't to put men down, but to bring attention to how ridiculous it is when either gender is portrayed as just a shiny object with no value beyond being pretty and existing. At the end, Ruth tells Barbie that "humans make things up, like the patriarchy" to deal with how uncomfortable being HUMAN is. I interpreted this movie's message as this whole "men VS women" mentality being the real harm. Women are just as meaningful as men and vice versa. President Barbie says she didn't enjoy being a leader, and Ken says the same thing towards the end. It's not healthy when all the pressure is placed on one side. Of course this movie is going to lean towards the issues of women, it's literally about Barbie. But at the same time, it highlights how a pure matriarchy would be a dystopia; it falls apart as soon as reality hits. Then again, maybe this is just my interpretation because I didn't exactly go into this movie with political prejudices.
My issue is Greta made this movie with a disingenuous idea that women have absolutely no power in the real world and that Mattel is run completely by men with no female board members (not counting 1 secret character). When in reality, half of Mattel's board members are female and the longest running CEO was female
But you can't let FACTS get in the way of pushing an agenda, right? ;-) I'm not surprised that they basically lied about that stuff for the movie. They don't want up and coming young women to realize there's already equality in the work force, as long as women are willing to work as hard as men do.
I want to go see the movie to confirm if everything they say is true. I totally agree with your comment. The message may seem good or bad to you, but if Barbie lies to you then she would be giving a bad message.
That’s why Barbie is a complete hoax and Sound of Freedom shows the truth.
@@camilaburgos8383 I bet it is lying to people overall. Barbie used to be something non political until retards decided to ruin it. I haven’t watched the movie but I just know it’s bad from peoples’ reactions and Misha’s testimonies.
Yeah im pretty sure Greta herself does just fine as well lmao. Imagine making the kind of money she is making and thinking women are opressed. Totally dillusional!
I hate movies that have to put down others, whether it’s acting like men are superior or women are superior, it’s toxic and unnecessary
Than Barbie is your worst enemy.
Ive asked his a million times before and never gotten a serious answer form anyone. Can you name the movie that puts woman down thats come out in the last fifty years? Im tired of being asked to pretend such a movie exists.
The Barbie movie is not anti-men. The whole point of the movie is that the patriarchy and matriarchy is harmful to both men and women.

@@daisythomas5601 u clearly haven't seen the movie
They really should have ended the movie with both the Barbies and Kens realizing absolute power of either gender is bad, and they should be equal citizens. But it basically ended with Kens still being second class citizens (but now have a very tiny slice of power). But it is a Barbie movie, I understand. I just think they shouldn't have had Kens at all instead of making all the men look like complete idiots
when the barbies took over barbieland once again and ken was shown crying in her bed I genuinely thought that they were about to have a heart to heart about the kens not wanting to go back to their old "oppression." when they instead went for "i'm kenough" i was dumbfounded. if the roles were reversed feminists would throw a fit because it's patronising af
@@animationeditz5570 Keep telling yourself that. The entire message to men is stop trying to be leaders. I cannot wait for a TRUKLY patriarchal society to take over the west.

@@dabieyothat’s the whole point, the roles are reversed right now in real life. We do life in a men’s world, you can’t deny that.

@@Justarandompersononyoutube. This isn't the 1980s anymore, in reality, half of Mattel's board members are female. The longest running CEO of Mattel was a woman. Is equality perfect yet? no, but to present the movie like no women in the real world have any important jobs and women have absolutely no power is ridiculous.
I think alot of parents just saw barbie and colorful imagery and didn't even check the rating they just assumed. A woman where I am walked out with her kids and got really mad about it not being for kids. She acknowledged that she should have checked the rating as well. This is an ongoing issue. Movies are being made that would only be for children when we were kids, and now they are mostly for adults. That why I am on it all the time, even if the rating is appropriate, I will often watch things first.
I always look at the rating of a movie before I go, and the Barbie movie was rated for teens and older. There were SO MANY parents there with young kids and I was thinking, "Did you guys not read the reviews?"
Most parents don't care about movie ratings! Parents took their kids too see deadpool, which was rated R lol
Exactly. Barbie was supposed to be a movie for kids but a small loud and toxic group had to ruin it!
@@blueiris1542 That’s stupid. Deadpool sucks.
@blueiris1542 as a parent of 4, I just don't get why they wouldn't care, but then I was being brought to rated R movies all the time by my Mom when I was as young as 5, but my Mom is pretty crazy, so yeah.
Are we really surprised a Barbie movie in 2023 pushes feminism this hard?
Not all of us are surprised. I’m not surprised.
I’m Batman.
I can't believe I didn't really expect it, but I walked out of the theater. I think the trailers barely had any of the woke scenes
@@___xoxo___ Yeah, definitely.
Surprised to see Gerwig completely fall from grace and bend over backwards for the rainbow mob, yes. In my circle at least, her previous films Lady Bird and even Little Women were appreciated by men just as much as women. They were just good agenda-free films, which we need more of in modern day cinema.
@@___xoxo___No. Second wave feminists hated Barbie. Watch The Simpsons episode about Malibu Stacy, it is an analogy as how Barbie was perceived as "submissive" by feminists.
I think the biggest problem is victim-mentality. For some reason there's a literal race in "who's being more oppressed?" and i find it sickening. It's like people nowadays take pride in their (apparent) oppression and not in their freedom
The globalists are pushing "victimhood" cos that way, you're dependent.
Many wars and quests for power started with the "I am oppressed" argument.
@@stephenson19861 For some people, all it takes to commit atrocity is a convenient excuse. "I am oppressed" is one of them.
It’s like a game. Except with real people. With real feelings. And the misleading feeling that there’s a “winning victim” when really it’s just an unhealthy spectacle.
imagine labelling something "victim mentality" every time a victim tries to talk about it.
The marketing was regrettably the most amazing marketing job I think I have ever seen. It is likely why so many parents are taking their kids to see the movie. They marketed it as being a movie for all ages. The trailers never really even showed the rating of the movie anywhere. It’s like a classic bait and switch, but dressed up in pretty colors.
Yeah, the marketing was genius even if diabolically genius.
The marketing was amazing, I actually enjoyed watching all the Barbie promotions lol.
It was rankly dishonest.

My mom and siblings went to see the movie yesterday. At some point, two girls around my age (early 20s) were full on sobbing about the speech on feminism. Pretty much everyone at the screening were annoyed at how loud they were being and they concerned the elderly ticket taker on the way out. Apparently they cried all the way to their car in parking lot lol
Ain’t no way this is real 💀 I’m a teenager (19) and I didn’t even do that after watching it 😭
so cringe😭💀
@@hydrofrolicwildflower3393 How do you feel about ceasing to be a teenager within the next couple of months, after you turn 20?
"full on sobbing" hahaha hilarious... I wish I could see that in real life.... 🤣 well at least they care passionately about something, when I was in my early 20s I could barely come up with logic for my own beliefs and ideals!
yeah I've seen a lof ladies on tiktok defending this movie and speaking badly about *u know what*, this movie really did influence audiences into to thinking we still live in patriarchy
Considering the director is an outspoken feminist, I'd say this is woke crap and not some kind of genius satire.
Yeah no. This movie couldn't even fathom what satire is
i start questioning my friends that took this movie as a satire. guys, this is not a satire. the message is poorly delivered that you think it's a satire 😭😭😭
@@cstefalen15 Exactly. It's just so over the top with its delivery that it comes across as a joke.
The fact that people think this is satire just shows how ridiculous the woke movement has gotten, to the point where we can’t even tell if they’re being serious or not
I'm fairly certain that the intention was to pass it as a radical feminist movie pretending to be a satire of itself. That way the audience is duped into believing it's a parody, critics are left confused, and the feminists get to relish in their success at delivering their "message". This is actually a very common tactic that the woke and EDI use. It's soooo common. Just pretend that they are not what they are accused of while simultaneously doing that which they are accused of. How they continue to get away with it really boggles my brain. It's also psychopathic manipulation and deception.
It just feels like a massive slap in the face as a long term Barbie fan, loved it as a kid, watched all the movies, I have most of them on DVD now as an adult (which to some is probably weird lmao they’re nostalgic for me so) so of course I was excited to see this movie as you can imagine, especially since they didn’t show any of the woke stuff in the trailer, it just looked like a fun movie. And seeing all the controversies around it I wanted to believe people were just blowing things out of proportion and maybe it wasn’t actually THAT bad… no it WAS that bad. The narrator of the movie especially just irritated me to no end, only one of the narrators lines I laughed at was when she was talking about how no one uses the stairs when playing with their barbie. This movie could have been so much better and I wanted it to be, I wanted it to have the same magical feeling the cartoon movies did. It’s insulting honestly…
My feelings exactly!
to be honest, I hate woke stuff, and I watched Barbie and I didn't think it was that woke. It's was very "girl power" and "girls can do anything". I'm not sure I saw so much male bashing. It's not like they said, "castrate all heterosexual white men". I don't know, maybe I'm denser and slower than most.
@@danielkim7841 I agree. I feel like most of the "male bashing" was more making fun of being extremely over the top masculine rather then actually making fun of men. Some of the jokes at the end of the movie (with the kens being satisfied with barely having any power) were in a bit of poor taste but it didn't ruin the movie at all for me
Yeah, I watched a lot of Barbie movies when I was young but this one ruined by extremist feminist ideology
I dont get how ppl can think it isnt a feminist movie
The trailer. The trailer was guilty of that. Maybe on purpose. Those scumbags know people mostly hate that sh*t, so they hid that on purpose in the trailer, making many want to go and watch it.

I saw both Oppenheimer and Barbie. One movie was fantastic and the other has Ryan Goseling in it. “I’m just Ken” was the only unironically good part of the movie.
Let me guess, it was the Barbie movie that had Ryan Goseling in it. Oppenheimer is a better movie.
The Ken song was the best part for me unironically. The entire section of that song is a masterpiece.
It feels as if Barbie shouldn’t had gotten as much hype as Oppenheimer, Oppenheimer was so much better
Ryan Gosling's Ken hard carried the movie. The only times I laughed were from things he said. He was definitely the unintentional hero.
I think they where both boring atleast Oppenheimer was more entertaining, barbie was completely boring after beach scene went to weird no real story
I actually interpreted the barbie movie as a subtle critique on woke culture. Woke people don't notice this, so they like the movie, but if you look deeper, it's about how wokeness is just as oppressive and contradictory as patriarchy. I thought it showed that if the woke world keeps going this way, it will become "reverse" oppression like with the kens, covering the truth with pink and smiles when in reality it is messed up. The movie also acknowledged binary gender differences instead of being filled with a bunch of made up genders. They casted thin, attractive white people without demonizing them or "calling out their privilege." The theme is that for a just world, we have to make room for everyone. Both the extreme right and extreme left create hierarchies and oppression, so we have to meet in the middle, like how the barbie movie began to integrate kens into the government and roles of power.
Someone finally got it.
That's one of the possible interpretations.
Good to know I'm not the only one who saw it that way.
Exactly thats the message!!!
Interesting perspective . I’ll wait until it comes on demand and I’ll see if I see that in it.
Not just anti-men, it is anti-intelligence
And hypocritical.
Do you realize that in Barbie Barbie is everything? Ken isn’t everything it’s not anti men, it’s just Barbie
And if a guy made a movie like this but let's switch the gender roles so that it is directed towards women then all hell would break loose and the director guy would get put on trial and possibly even executed that is hypocrisy at its finest

Can't we just be entertained anymore? It's exhausting to be lectured to on every medium. I find that I am re-watching old TV shows and movies to escape.
Yeah me to. I hate the newer movies. Absolutely LOVED the Mario Bros. Movie though!! It was awesome!! We purchased it on Prime Video!
john wick 4 , mission impossible 7 , oppenheimer , sound of freedom , where all good , just ignore the woke shit
Me too
I watch movies from 1930s
Many old movies and shows actually was serious about their themes and messaging. They teach while being entertaining. They’re not just entertaining.
I liked the Mario movie. I was never into Mario, but the movie was just cute. Princess Peach is a fighter, but also pretty. Mario is trying to save his brother. The villan has a goal I won't ruin for you. There is a mushroom theme that is amusing. Was it the best movie I've seen? No, but it was much better than what the have been pumping out of studios. We bought it mostly to support it.
That's the thing: the Princess is originally a damsel in distress, not a fighter. She could have never been portrait as victim in the movie, not even as satire. Why are people accepting Barbie doing that?
@@redacted2275 Spoilers:
Peach actually was a damsel in distress during a later part of the movie, specifically the wedding scene. If it wasn't for Mario and Toad, she would have had no way out from the wedding. Plus, it's not like she's never been portrayed as a fighter, as she fights alongside Mario in games like Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario RPG, and she even comes to Mario's rescue in Super Princess Peach. I do feel like they did sacrifice a bit of her more "girly" traits, but it's nowhere as drastic as everyone worried it would be.
The princess was not only a damsel in distress, there are many Nintendo games that show different behavior of her. 1988 she was a playable character in Mario bros 2, in 2005 she saves Mario&Luigi in her own jump’n run. She always was driving a Kart since 1991 and beating up in Smash bros. So the movie is doing totally fine to show all the Facetten, Nintendo gave her character in all the years. As a long term Nintendo player, I really liked the movie for being a great adaption.

A good movie that I think everybody should see is Sound of Freedom. I saw it last night and it was sad, but also eye-opening. However, I also saw Barbie and I enjoyed it. I think that regardless of political views, we need to be open minded and willing to try new things. I'm a centrist, so I try to find the middle ground between both sides because in modern day politics, both sides act incredibly stupid. Both sides are responsible for things being blown out of proportion. Both sides think they have to turn every movie and tv show into a debate, making it impossible to just have fun every once in a while. I think both sides have gone too far, but I have to admit, I am more right-leaning, but I am still incredibly critical of both the right and the left. Both sides act like children. It's tiring. And nowadays, both sides will attack you for being an independent/centrist. While I didn't agree with some of the political messages in Barbie, I still enjoyed the movie. Anyways, I love your channel, Misha, I agree with a lot of your views! 😊👍
Being anti men is wrong. Gender cannot be changed.
The left controls all of the institutions and pushes all the bullshit. Then the right takes an issue with it. When the arguing ensues centrists like you come along, "WOW you're both arguing! You're the same!" Centrists like you are the problem, in some ways more so than the left

Oppenheimer. It was brilliant. A lot of layers to the story. A lot of politics, science and it also shines light on how media and criminal justice worked back in the 2nd World War. I think Oppenheimer is my new favourite film, based on the fact that it has a lot of layers to it.

Pearls clutch.
I just saw this movie yesterday. Only because my friends wanted to go. The humor was not funny, and the plot was all over the place. Even during the most touching parts, I didn't find it touching (coming from an infamous crybaby). I just laugh at it. The whole movie shat on the patriarchy, but it's literally the patriarchy in the "real world" that propells our society. These new wave feminists want equality, but aren't willing to work as hard as men.
The theocracies of the middle east do have patriarchies. SCREW THEM. Screw actual patriarchies,, and screw matriarchies and feminism as well.
I hate woke stuff but I didn't think it bashed men. I thought it was more like Barbie wanted more women in the real world and have her own in the real world. And Greta Gerwig couldn't possibly want a world without men, cuz she is married to a man, and she has her own male children, I don't know. I don't think it was the bra-burning, all men are evil type of feminism, but more girl power type feminism. I also thought Ken (Ryan Gosling) was made out to be thoughtful, emotional, sensitive, compassionate, and kind, and Great Gerwig made Ken (if he is to represent men) look likeable. And you are right, society does expect so much from men, men have to be tall, handsome, rich, educated, strong, take responsibility, hard working, and accomplished. It is hard to be a man too... if anything, men don't have it as easy and have it as a cake walk in life....
@@danielkim7841Just because she’s married to a man didn’t stop her professing to be a feminist. Feminists aren’t always consistent and often contradict themselves. The movie shows that her worldview hasn’t changed much even as she’s raking millions tricking people into thinking she’s saying anything profound.
@@danielkim7841It did bash men. All the men in the movies were either simps or stupid. Come on dude.
@@danielkim7841Fun facts- Femnism is factory of misandry. It opened 24/7
They have to include "the message" in everything now. They will force feed it to us all if they can.
And they’ll do it as if it hasn’t been done to absolute death by now
They will take your children from you & teach them to be trans/gay then they will kill you in secret
Fiction through all time has usually been a vehicle for some sort of moral, so that'd be nothing new
Hello-let me help. Yes, the movie was totally anti-man and had no moral at the end of the movie. My mom and me walked out the theater in horror because all the movie accomplished was making Jon Travolta references, bagging on men, shoving that we live in a Patriarchy, and then saying that we should lower men and live in a Matriarchy instead. Also Ken was incredibly sympathetic because all he wanted was attention because he kept getting ignored. Hardly a villain and more of like a person who needed to break up with their toxic partner
You misunderstood the movie. Hope this helps 😊
I guess everybody missed the whole point of "we are all Kenough"

He had no rights, no autonomy, no future. If you think that is Kenough, then you live an awful life.

I am so sick of people being pretentious in saying people didn't understand the movie. Maybe it is you that didn't understand. As a matter of fact, I am pretty sure it is.
I watched this with my wife and 19 year old daughter, I tried to enjoy it but it was soooo heavy handed and so negative we came out agreeing this was the weirdest movie with hated view and all hated the mothers speech. How this is getting so many positive reviews beats me...or does it "beach" me? 😭
Barbie is a vile, extreme misandrist woke propaganda... apart from its fanatical hate towards men there is that scene where little girls smash baby dolls heads with a rock - now that's purely demonic.
Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic are notoriously woke biased.
Sound of Freedom is a must watch - from what I’ve heard. It’s not available in Britain yet (and probably never will be since our new monarch and vast majority of MPs are of the ilk targeted in this film!!)
I work as a server at a client hotel. We had one group called Courageous Women which is basically women leaders from many companies coming together to celebrate which is awesome, but I overheard such a hateful conversation about how “my life would be so much easier if I had a penis between my legs” coming from someone that makes 6-7 figures a year it just made me laugh. I make 18 an hour… life isn’t just automatically easy for men and it’s gross that people seriously think that.
That's what I wanted as a conclusion. That neither the matriarchal or a patriarchal society is good...
And that's what's frustrating. This concept could've worked if it was handled more level headed and with snappier execution.
Take jabs at both extremes, highlight the double standards, the hypocrisy. And you could tie it up into a nice point that neither gender is superior to the other. We need each other in order to make civilization function.
But the "patriarichal" society is great. Without it you wouldn't have clothes, a mobile phone, a car or anything else you need. Get real or live in a cave, "man".
Matriarchy is worse for men than the latter.
@@icantthinkofahandle1 Could've fooled me...
I think the point of the movie is that both the patriarchy and matriarchy are bad.
I do see how they went a little bit too far with the sexual violence, but it serves the purpose of hyperbole (which is what the movie is, it needs to be taken to extremes to be understood).
In the real world as well, the people that hear ken say he wants the patriarchy back are confused. I think he takes it too far after reading old fashioned books about the power of men. He comes from a land where men are nothing more than women extensions, he's excited to see he's worth smth.
Which takes me to my next point, the movie shows that any extreme of power is hurtful to both sexes. The person in power has too much on their plate, while the other person is constantly seeking approval for the sex on top.
In the end, Barbie encourages Ken to seek himself outside of Barbie. The point could've been more clear, but what it's saying is that the matriarchy is detrimental to everyone as well. Ken is hurt by the dynamic, and the pressure on Barbie hurts her as well.
Ken also admits that he didnt like the patriarchy, he's just trying to be seen. He's doing all of those things that are seen as sexist (mansplaining, or the guitar thing) in order to be liked, to be approved. He cant even cry in public. The patriarchy not only hurts women, but also men.
I think that a lot of people are going into this movie with bias, in order to find something woke or conservative about it. The film, although it couldve been better represented, tries to reach a compromise between the way we were and the way we're going. It's an attack towards sexist claims, but also towards anti-man feminism. Two things can be true at once.
Lastly, Barbie very obviously maintains the idea that women can do whatever. I dont feel like thats changed.
Edit: it also focuses on a very antiwoke connection, motherhood. The marvelous things of being a mother, of being feminine, of being a woman. Even though Barbie knows its hard in the real world, she decides she wants to be there, bcuz being a womanhood is beautiful.
Men are shown stupid like they used to be shown in the past. Its not an attack on men, its an attack on the way we can end up seeing men if antiman feminism keeps existing.
Finally someone who understood! I thought it was a fun movie. It might have helped that I’m a gen xer who got a lot of the hidden humor a younger generation probably didn’t pick up on. I also went to a late show with other grown adults. The entire audience was laughing or crying. I like Misha but her take (like many commentators here) showed bias and much of it seemed to go right over her head.
Also interesting perspective. I’m interested to see what I read into it once I see it for the sake of picking it apart .
I felt like it also had a theme about finding your own identity. Like, the original Barbie is viewed as being only good at being pretty, while other Barbie’s have careers and a purpose beyond their looks. She spent the movie finding herself. She grew out of just being pretty Barbie and is now in the real world, with many opportunities available to explore.
And I think she was the best Barbie to unite the Kens and Barbies. All the Kens had zero identity except to be Barbie’s beau. So of course when he goes out into the real world and sees men have similar capabilities to what he’s only seen Barbie’s able to do, he of course is highly intrigued in figuring this out.
In the end, Barbie and Ken are able to discover who they are by communicating openly and honestly, something that is lacking on both the left and the right more often than not. They are both able to conclude they are more than just pretty faces and they’re now free to explore who they are and journey to be their authentic selves, whatever that may mean to them.
You get it. Gold Star. (it's disappointing so few people seemed to completely missed it)
Sound of Freedom and Oppenheimer are some good movies I'd recommend to go see.
Agreed.
“Oppenheimer” is a disappointment. 3 hour movie, still important stories and messages are left unsaid.
I just saw Sound of Freedom last night, it was an amazing movie. But, I have to say that I also enjoyed Barbie. I'm a centrist, so I try to find the middle ground between both sides.
@@itismiahNah it was great
@@em-pr5jv yeah bro, I'm also a centrist bro. Kinda can't decide between jesus and satan, both are kinda hot.
I quite enjoyed the movie, but I do think it could've been done better. For example, after the patriarchy was gone in Barbieland, I thought that now they can create an actual perfect world because Kens knew what it was like to be the undermined gender in matriarchy and Barbies knew what it was like to be the undermined gender in patriarchy, therefore they understood what the others were feeling during either matriarchy or patriarchy, but instead of that, we got matriarchy again. There was even a scene where one of the Kens asked Barbie president if they could have one Ken in the constitution (Or whatever the government was) and the BArbie president declined. I didn't really mind the way that it showed women being treated in the real world, because in certain parts of our world, it does happen, however, the rant that Sasha went on about Barbie didn't make much sense because as a kid that played with barbies, I never thought too much about it, I just saw the dolls, not some sexist idea of what a woman was supposed to be (because I was 5). I did also enjoy the ending, however, I do think that changes based on how you see it. I saw the ending as a message to everyone that you don't have to be your stereotype. When stereotypical Barbie decided she didn't want to be that anymore I chose to be a human and to me that showed that anyone can be whatever they want to be and that they can be more than their stereotypes. Overall I think that it's a pretty good movie, but not for kids.
Misha...you are such a breath of fresh air to YT! I love your channel...I love what you stand for. Your review about this movie is exactly what I would expect it to be, but you explain it in such a great way.
Barbie definitely isn’t anti men. They realise that Barbie Land in the beginning of the movie wasn’t perfect either.
no they didn't nothing changed about barbie-land in the beginning and barbie herself was trying to revert back to the way she was, and when it did change twords the end with ken in charge, the spend the last chunk of the movie towards the end changing it back to the way it was, giving the kens a basiclly a bad deal at the end so they wouldn't try it again.
Oddly enough, I never grew up with that "boys vs. girls" thing. We all played together, and we did everything together. But that's rare, I suppose.
It's not weird, even my older family members grew up like that. It's just that nowadays they want to divide us (the woke people) and make us believe the other gender is evil.
It isn't. Just the activists have the loudest voice. And some people are too afraid to tell them to eff off.
Yeah there was some “boys rule girls drool” and vice versa as a child here and there, but we were kids when we did that stuff lol. But in most cases I never experienced guys talking down to girls or girls doing the same to guys in school. Sometimes all of this outrage feels manufactured. To clarify myself, because I know someone is going to write a whole rant, this does not mean that women don’t have struggles and a lot of problems they have to deal with that stem from men. I’m simply commenting on my childhood experience and even my teen years where I didn’t experience any such thing, the gender wars are largely something I’ve seen only online. That’s why they feel so fake and manufactured to me. Most women I’ve encountered in real life have just treated me like a normal human.
@@edwardfala7723If certain kind of activist have voice it means majority of public are supporting them. 😂
@Egg-wt1pk
What you said is completely false. There are activist on both sides of almost every major issue.
If I was given money every time the word Patriarchy was stated, I'd be rich.
Nah apart of that, I’m just sad because I thought the Barbie movie was gonna be a fun, wacky, and silly film to enjoy over the summer but no.. here we are again where they’re trying to push their political views against us😤 I miss these times when people didn’t take things so seriously
literally omg, i was ready for a fun movie where barbie has to travel to the real world to find out how different it is and have fun with it. But instead it was just some political bullshit. people weren't lying when they said its more political than oppenhiemer.
Literally the best comment
The message is supposed to be about finding compromise and balance between men and women, yet it does the complete opposite! By using modern feminism, it shows men as stupid, irrelevant, funny at best, weak boys. Ken is basically antagonised when he discovers his masculine side, which is shown as destructive and evil. Not to mention the fireplaces scene, which is basically a message to men that they'll always be played with, and that there is no such thing as an honest relationship. As a woman, this scene left me with bitterness. It completely shatters the image of a relationship between man and woman. That basically empowers women by saying "Yess you can sleep with everyone and deceive all men! You were played with? Now YOU get to do the same! You're so strong, wow!" Of course, there were some touching scenes that showed the hardships of women, but overall it's just going from one extreme to another.
There really was a potential to integrate both sides. When Ken and Barbie come to the real world, it could be shown as both sides understanding what it's like to be in other person's boots and how both of the worlds in some way neglect one side, and try to find the common ground. Can't we just respect one another, goddammit?
Also, the funny thing is how Mattel changes it's campaign to current trends and social media.
Overall, the acting, scenography and visual effects were truly amazing. However, the message that it brings only divides men and women further apart.
You clean missed the point. Ken’s entire arc is due to him having no identity apart from wanting to be Barbie’s boyfriend. He goes from being a simp to being Uber-macho, and is unhappy with both extremes.
Well, I mean that's obvious. I meant how they portrayed masculinity and men in general
'There really was a potential to integrate both sides.' No there wasn't, because it would have to reveal the truth and tell men to imagine having a 6 years longer life expectancy due to less work related stress, making up only 7% of workplace fatalities, 4% deaths due to war, 23% of suicides and homicides, 20% of the homeless, having people assume they are the victim when they initiated DV in the majority of cases, having laws that cannot identify them as perpetrators of r ape, having a 40% higher adoption rate and so on, and society doesn't want us to wake up to that reality
@@left_knee_of_shrek6589 But other than that part, I agree with your comment!
@ChienaAvtzon They shouldn't have kept matriarchy then. In any case patriarchy does not exist. In the UK we have near gynarchy where women are valued over men.
When the indoctrination hits the youngest, you know we are almost to that point...
Can we also mention the opening scene where little girls violently bash their baby dolls? It was so disturbing.
Truly.
Ikr I was shocked that people didn’t see the subliminal message in that scene. I thought I was seeing no one was catching anything wrong 😢
I had no idea what you mean, then I looked at it from conservative perspective and I think I get it
but that's hardly the point of that scene, there was also a scene of little girls deforming barbies and misha said that she also played with barbies that way
I watch plenty of shows with fantasy violence, but toy mutilation in movies in general is very disturbing for me...I had to force myself to keep watching. I'm very glad my sister didn't see this. She's a sensitive soul who believes toys are sentient beings. She would have required therapy
There were some moments that I absolutely loved, the one where Barbie starts to feel more human emotions as she is sitting on the bench, looking at the old woman and thinking that she was beautiful, that the real world is not as perfect as Barbie thinks but still worth living in, she laughs when others do, sees leaves rustling in the wind, people having arguments, others loving each other's company and Barbie wants that, she doesn't want to be perfect and an idea, she wants the chaotic messiness and the beauty of our world which I thought was incredible, I actually broke down then and there, I know the way they portrayed men and treated the Ken's was unfair and ridiculous but there were also moments like these in the movie where it was not about feminism or gender equality but about being simply human and I loved this scene so much, it honestly shook me to my core💖
I wish the movie leaned more on Barbie discovering humanness rather than the men vs women war.
Awww ive been waiting for this review from misha 🙌🙌🙌
When you come out of Barbenheimer and suddenly realize the one with moral crisis about the creation of the A-bomb was the least depressing of the two.
I went to the theater, and heard a literal baby cry. Me and my friends started laughing cus this was definitely not a kids movie
You forgot the ending when the Barbies took back barbieland and went back to being a matriarchy. A couple of the kens asked if they could work some of the jobs that the Barbies had and she said no. It was so pointless.
The president said that they could have a “lower circuit court judgeship” and the narrator said that Ken’s have to start somewhere… so Idk which part of that to u seems “pointless”
Then they are surprised a lot of young girls decide to transition . They’re teaching them being a woman is a nightmare .
@@icantthinkofahandle1So the plot is that a jobless women wants a child on her own?
So to summarise, Barbie's decision at the end is:
Better to serve in a patriarchy
Than to reign in a matriarchy
Thanks for clearing that up, feminists.
Be ready for more Barbie movies because they are going to milk it dry!
They will try, though I hardly believe anyone that attended and felt duped by how it was marketed and discovered it wasn't what they paid to watch... (bait and switch), not as many tickets will be sold for the sequel.
I just went to to see this in theaters with my younger sister and brother. And I’m so proud my newly 15 year old sister noticed how politicized this shit was , I just feel bad cuz she wanted to watch the Barbie movie for her birthday but it had to be a whole movie dunking on the half of the entire of the human race
Felt like they went so hard for the woke shit that they were making fun of themselves😂
i agree lol😭 sometimes i was laughing because the statements they made genuinely sounded satire and poking fun at feminism because of how absurd they were
Just found out that the teen girls were named after the Bratz dolls…can’t lie that’s hilarious and clever. I think the movie is intended to be satirical, but I also understand your points of concern. Love your channel!
Fr!!
I think some of the issues with MI Dead Reckoning was it was filmed in the height of Covid and they couldn't have too many people in a scene together, and I think some of them talking one at a time is to do with Covid concerns. I hope part 2 will feel more natural again
Politics aside, I mostly saw this movie about existentialism and what it means to find yourself in this ever-living world. which in itself is very intriguing
What can you expect from the director who completely changed "Little Women" - making it about feminism when it's about family. Some people see their favorite topic everywhere. You would be talking to them about apples and they would start about how men eat apples because men are garbage or something.
My husband and I enjoyed the new Indiana Jones movie BTW. (Critics pretend it's all about the female character, but I beg to differ.)
Once I found out that Greta was behind Barbie a few months ago, I knew what was coming and I wasn't going to waste my time. In all fairness to other people, most of the people that I know didn't know her by name or ever watch her version of Little Women.
I dont think this movie is anti man, however this movie tried to convince it's audience that we still live patriarchy which is false since we have rights (going through bad experiences & struggle does not = oppression), same thing with matriarchal concept they brought up with barbieland, in animated barbie movies including the actual dolls, Kens did had jobs, they didn't need to be oppressed in order to be in the for-front which ironically in this movie Ken steals the show
This is basically like the Stepford wives. Kind of a horror but not really since the Barbies get hypnotized back into obedience (after the Ken takeover) and the Kens were basically put back into their place as second class citizens while being told "Maybe, we'll give you equality one day. But not really."
Take my like on the "Beach you off" bit. They really beached that dead horse.
They were beaching themselves off
Came across your video Misha and I was impressed. You are so young. Very professional and articulate. It's nice to see that someone your age still has common sense. That means there's hope for this bizarre twilight zone world. God bless you young lady.
I truly pity the parents who take their kids to this movie expecting it to be a kid friendly movie like the older barbie movies
I'd give the movie a 5/10. Visually, the movie looks great, Barbie world actually looks like the toy sets brought to life. The movie also has plenty of moments that are just simple and lighthearted fun, and the movie is also surprisingly deep at times. However, the political messaging is absolutely atrocious and toxic, which is concerning considering the fact that the target audience is little girls.
The movie is pure misandry.
Ahww poor little man
Barbies are for little girls there should be no politics or anything inappropriate for their age. Its funny and disgusting that this movie is 13+ so kids who actually play with barbies cant watch it.
I haven’t seen it but i heard it makes fun of Barbie dolls themselves. So it’s almost like a spoof that wasn’t advertised as a spoof
Your points about the Barbie movie are very well articulated. I agree with everything you said! :)
From the ads, I thought the Barbie movie would be like the LEGO movie since Will Ferreal plays the CEO in both.
I actually enjoyed the movie plenty, but I didn't have very high expectations and I saw the "real world" part as a satire, too. It looked like it poked fun on the western glamorous girlboss version of feminism and the simplistic way in which it criticizes reality. And the ending was kind of endearing, Ken realizing he's not just an accessory, and Barbieworld starting to move to equality. It also made me think about how playing with baby dolls prepared us to become mothers, but playing with a Barbie was more like rehearsing womanhood. And the mother actually did make some good points, albeit a little on the nose. I was also amazed to realize I remember the pattern from the Barbie's house wall, as mine had the same😅 It's not the masperpiece the left make it out to be, but it was a fun watch to me. It's a shame a lot of conservative reviewers are too irritated by now to give it the benefit of the doubt.
I came away from the movie with exactly the same perspective, but there are a green details I missed that make it more complex:
1) Ken learns about the patriarchy not from men but from feminist propaganda
2) Ken can’t get a job in the real world without having qualifications, unlike in Barbieland
3) Ruth at the end calls patriarchy an “idea” on the same level as Barbie
4) The way that the oppressed Ken behaves when he “takes back power” from his supposed oppressors is a nod to toxic girl bosses.
I actually now think that this movie is a battle of ideas, and that Barbie ultimately inspires women to think positively about their own life and is an antidote to the misery of being trapped in the world view of the “patriarchy”.
And most of the anti-men stuff in this movie is actually low key subverting the validity of the patriarchy.
I actually think this movie is amazing because feminists and the director don’t even realize it’s inadvertently the most anti-feminist film we’ve seen in years. By going so hard into it’s propaganda, it shows how truly awful new wave feminism is.
Also, the reason they had women enjoy the Kendom was to show that women who are happy “living under the patriarchy” are just brainwashed. I.e. any women who is happy in the real world due to their relationships with men are only that way due to brainwashing.
you know recently I told my class mate that before I watch the barbie movie I want to buy a barbie doll for enjoyment, and she accused me of participating in "CAPITALISM" it just shows how wokeness is becoming normalised in our society 😂

Hi Misha! THX for watching this so I dont have too! lol
What I never understand, is the whole idea that these writers are saying women are better than men in everyway, yet they are also the victims of men who are oppressing them?
*WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT KATHLEEN KENNEDY? DIDN'T SHE RUIN STAR WARS AND PUT A WOKE CHICK IN THERE?*
Totally agree with this. My mom took me to see this and we both agreed it was really stupid and badly written. Ken (and Alan) really were the best parts of this movie, which made it even slightly digestible. Same vitriol as the feminist Ghostbusters movie, which also stars Kate McKinnon (yet she was kind of okay & kinda funny in both movies) they always make a point to sh*t on men any way they can and feed into their oppression points. Just a mess of a movie and it didn't make me feel great about watching it. As a kid of the 80s/90s (literally born the exact same day as the Barbie actress America Ferrera) I didn't feel any of that cozy nostalgia, even when they were showing somewhat similar outfits of the times.
Great work, Misha. I'm happy you're here with us on this earth, we need you. I've spoken with friends and family, people in my community, etc. about Barbie regarding the higher orders of thinking and the complexities in the movie (subtexts, constructions of the worlds, conflicting narratives, etc. as you mention). Most responses I receive are reductive or characterized by disinterest. I will be sharing this with folks as a point of clarity. Keep climbing.
I rewrote the movie because I’m tired of seeing everyone complain about it without providing anything to the table:
The movie’s themes: both patriarchy and matriarchy are useless, men and women should work together, together they are stronger, and together they make the world complete.
Story: Barbieland is ruled by the Barbie matriarchy, while Kens are told to stand back and do nothing, despite their potential being beneficial to Barbieland. However this all changes when something terrible happens in Barbieland, something none of the Barbies can fix. Barbie visits Weird Barbie for advice, because of how much experience she has. Weird Barbie claims that only Mattel’s CEO will know what to do, so Barbie plans her journey into the real world. Ken, being the supportive boyfriend and sidekick, joins her on her quest, despite her claiming she won’t need his help. As they travel through the real world, Ken realizes that men are just as important as women and that the real world is better than Barbieland because of that. When they finally meet the CEO, they explain the issue, but he claims that Barbies can do anything therefore they don’t need his help. Ken brings forward the idea of Kens trying to fix the issue, but the CEO waves him off. Ken seeks support from Barbie, but she proves to be just as skeptical because none of the Kens have ever done anything beneficial for Barbieland. Frustrated, Ken storms off with Barbie at his heels. As they make their way through the city, they witness a child nearly being hurt by (insert danger). Together, Barbie and Ken save the child, which leads to the realization that maybe the Kens are the solution after all. Together they return to Barbieland and share their discovery with the reluctant Barbies and Kens. Nevertheless, the Kens unite and attempt to fix the problem. But nothing changes. Everyone is desperate and hopeless. And then Barbie has another realization: all these times men and women helped each other in the real world… what if it was never about Ken nor Barbie, what if it was about their strengths combined? Together, Barbies and Kens unite their strengths to fix the issue, and they finally make it! This is a historical moment in Barbieland, one that will change their world forever. In the last scenes of the movie, all the Barbies and Kens do things together, making Barbieland a better place. And Mattel’s CEO witnesses this, mind-boggled and looking a little silly. The end.
I know it still has flaws and I’m happy to fix them, but so far this is much better regarding storytelling and themes. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know.
If you people are so bothered about the movie, actually do something about it. So far I’ve hardly seen anyone bring solutions, only criticisms.
I like your story about egalitarianism. :)

Is the Barbie movie anti men?
Is the Pope Catholic?
It's a genuinely a good movie with trash politics. That's my view
Nah. The trash politics ruined any chance of this movie being genuinely good. It had a crap plot and told a toxic story. I did enjoy the aesthetics, cinematography, and performances though. The movie is a gold plated and polished turd. Sure it may look great and have some value, but it's still shit
Thank you for the nice review, Misha. I have the same problem: in year 2023 I don’t remember a single movie that I liked, although there were some not-that-bad TV series.
How do people get THIS annoyed at a movie? Isn’t that meant to be what the left do? If you don’t like it, fine, but don’t go online and making videos tearing it down like a butthurt leftist.
Freedom of speech ur mad cuz ppls are calling woke propaganda out
My 13 year old granddaughter thought it was politicaly correct ,propaganda, filled piece of rubbish. A waste of money and time she said.🤮🤮🤮
After hearing this right winger describe it, I think that it could actually be a good movie.
I think the movie was funny but i guess it's hard for some people to understand the irony of certain situations, scenes and jokes.
For example : Barbie and Ken are toys, they are not intelligent nor have critical thinking*. Doctor Barbie has never practiced any kind of medical procedure. Ken is just Ken. You can't expect more from them.
I'd like to stress out the fact that Barbie doesn't want to go in the real world (choosing the birk), she wants to stay in a comfortable high heels stereotypical Barbie role. You say way too quickly that she "of course" chooses to go. This is an important part of the movie.
I know I'm late to the party on this one but Puss and Boots The Last Wish was fantastic
The establishment of equality at the end of the movie was not clear at all and left me with a lot of question marks. I fear that some women especiallly younger women will interpret "Barbie" in a way that actually incourages them into revengful behaviours towards men who might have wronged them in any way. I believe the movie did not reach it's potential, does anyone else feel like that?
I personally felt as though it was not anti-men at all. Ken was portrayed in the same way that women have been portrayed in many movies, shunned to the side and only there to pine after Barbie who doesn't even care about him. This wasn't to put men down, but to bring attention to how ridiculous it is when either gender is portrayed as just a shiny object with no value beyond being pretty and existing. At the end, Ruth tells Barbie that "humans make things up, like the patriarchy" to deal with how uncomfortable being HUMAN is. I interpreted this movie's message as this whole "men VS women" mentality being the real harm. Women are just as meaningful as men and vice versa. President Barbie says she didn't enjoy being a leader, and Ken says the same thing towards the end. It's not healthy when all the pressure is placed on one side. Of course this movie is going to lean towards the issues of women, it's literally about Barbie. But at the same time, it highlights how a pure matriarchy would be a dystopia; it falls apart as soon as reality hits. Then again, maybe this is just my interpretation because I didn't exactly go into this movie with political prejudices.
Exactly! This is about how I interpreted it too.
Actually, it's Anti-Women by plot.
