I always wondered before watching the movie what they meant when everyone was saying Ryan Gosling was born for this role. After watching the film, I DO GET IT.
What I like about this song and Kens whole arc is that he doesn’t get the girl but it makes him realize he doesn’t need her. He needs to be content with himself first.
Isn't it exactly what toxic masculinity is all about after all? Men thinking that their worth is measured by the amount of things they accumulated and their ability to dominate women and enforce their views and strength on others. I think this movie explained it in the most hilariously profound way!
@@vas7ilissi8this song actually made me cry bro. Like I feel like Ken here. It feels like we are suppose to touch the stars but we can only jump a couple feet in the air. We put ridiculous pressure on us for no reason.
@vicky-vas7liss8 you're taking it wrong. What he was asking wasn't that he measured himself by how much he could dominate women, but that his only measure of self worth was the worth ascribed to him by a girl. And just like when it's the other way around, it isn't good for him.
@@melonman2674 I agree. He went from measuring his worth by Barbie's care and attention to being measured by patriarchy's achievements, till he realised that what actually really matters is his own self.
I love that the Kens abs are so majestic that they can not only be used as weapons, but they cause a rift in space-time when two opposing sets of abs meet.
My favorite small detail is the one time he changes the line from "I'm just Ken" to "My name's Ken", the other Kens respond with "And so am I" which grammatically fits the first phrase but not the second one which he just used.
@@EM-mw6et like instead of "my name's ken"/"and so is mine" or "I'm just ken"/"and so am I" they mixed up the response line on purpose for the absurdity of it
i really like it because the way he feels about the phrase “i’m just ken” changes throughout the song. it begins with him being upset he just ken, then at the end he’s happy to BE ken
See, if the movie was about "Just be you" then it wouldn't be so bad and something you could take the family too. But nooooo, they had to bring feminism and patriarchy and God knows what else!
@@neil_nile159 yup. one of the funniest things about this film is how it opened so many guys eyes to the fact that theyre living in a matriarchy now :D
That ending bit is why Barbie was such an effective comedy. You get wrapped up in the absolute insanity of the movie and then it was like "didn't plot happen...?" "Shit." and it never fails to crack me up.
the plot structure was horrible. there’s no way the writers made a plot and wrote down every major event in order without seeing how stupid it was. they didnt even achieve the main goal or try to work towards it which was equality for women in the real world.
@@jackweber3660 Because the main point of the film was to talk about social inequality and the difficulties of women in society as a form of awareness and the film does this extremely well, in addition to being funny too. The real truth is that it is very difficult to destroy structural s3xism so it would be unrealistic and stupid for them to try to "fix" the real world. Instead the film talks about the issues as a form of awareness and a way for women to love themselfs more despite living in such a difficult world for women, it is a film made by women for women, you missed the ENTIRE point of the film, but if you're a man I won't complain after all it's very difficult for you to really understand.
@@Bella_640 i watched it very intently and it’s just sooo difficult to get over the corniness of the film becoming serious at sudden points to try and make “deep” scenes. i guess it makes sense that it’s more of a spreading awareness kind of thing, but god it was an awful attempt at feminism. none of the characters are likable nor relatable. barbie is spoiled, that kid is a brat, the mom is selfish, etc. the whole film is layed out like a magical realism novel, the characters are bland, it calls out random details that are unnecessary to the story, and it’s just horrible plot structure. i just cant get over how horribly they executed it… i think the directors must’ve been trying to do something “different”. they should’ve just stuck with the heroes journey.
The scene is goofy and "comical" compared to the rest of the movie when it speaks about the issues of gender roles. While the rest of the movie has the women talk about their issues about the partiarchy in a very serious tone, this scene is just goofy. This scene is just a meme, a funny, comical insight into the world of Ken. Don't get me wrong, some of the issues of the song that it addresses are fine. But, honestly, is the audience going to see this message compared to the screen time the women get? Or will they just go "haha, Ken funni". It displays men's issues as an afterthought, something that is just in the background just to get critics to "shut up". Saying someone is "Ken-ough" isn't going to help modern when the whole movie up to this point has been antagonizing them. Look again at the scene where the women speak about their issues as they formulate a plan to take down the Kens. It's clear as day what their issues are and it's supposed to give a serious tone that is meant for audience to clap their hands and relate to the message. This screentime for males just simply doesn't happen for the Kens. They are dumb, stupid, jocks just like Will Ferell and those white males over at Mattel. Why must men always be seen as the "abusers" while all of our custody battles are almost always baised towards women? Finally, after this song happened in the movie, the barbies finally took over due to this scene. The Barbies literally manipulate the men's feelings throughout the story just to get what they want. And so, once they have their feelings expressed for just five minutes, they are suddenly cast down to the lower classes of society, making them seem like dumb idiots once more for even showing a fraction of emotion. This song is nothing more than a meme. And maybe this was not the intention of the movie, I don't know. But, all I see is what is being shown. And that message is clear, men's problems in modern america, like our custody battles and our high suicide rates, are just an afterthought and not something that should be taken seriously in the modern era.
The little "whoa" by Ryan at 4:43 when the wave come back just gets me every time. That feels like a little bit of improv that just kicks the character and scene up a bit
That's actually wasn't improv, the kiss was rehearsed. Ryan Gosling - I'm Just Ken Exclusive (From Barbie The Album) [Official] 2:52 All Kens made a great job.
i've watched it twice. I'm still not sure if it was choreographed for all of them, or whether the director said "give him a kiss on the cheeks, and nobody tell him." His laugh definitely makes it seem like something he wasn't expecting from the rehearsal.
@stevedavis8329 If you watch the "making of" version of I'm Just Ken -- which I have, a billion times 😊 -- you'll see the cheek kisses in the rehearsal.
I've heard people say this movie hates men and idk how anyone could come to this conclusion when Ken's whole arc of self discovery and self love. This movies message to men is clearly "don't get all caught up in the messages of patriarchy that tell you how you need to act or be, just be you and that's enough" and I think that's a good message for men to have rn.
That part really got me 😂 like it’s supposed to be a serious existential song, with these little hilarious parts sprinkled in. It’s so absurd and hilarious.
I love that at the end, his final im just Ken ballad, he’s picking up everyone and bringing them close. Beautiful symbolism of unity and love you give others when you find your own self love 😢
Because outright comedy performances just don't get nominated anymore, The last time I can even think of someone in the Supporting Actor category being nominated for a pure comedy performance (not comedy/drama, just straight-up comedy) is RDJ back in 2008, it's a rarity @@ezequielperez2224
When I went to see it in theatres, you could tell how special this movie was. ABSOLUTELY a classic that I think will stand the test of time and always stand out.
honestly Ryan gosling's potrayal of Ken will be legendary. 20-40 years from now people are gonna be calling this a classic and including them it in pop culture references etc and making parodies out of this like how we recreate Breakfast club scenes or Marilyn Monroe etc
That is hilarious!!! Thanks for pointing it out. There are so many little gems in this film. I noticed on my fifth time watching that the Mattel executive who gets "shot" (2:18) wears a sling on his arm in the final scene in Barbieland. 😂
This movie is so dense with jokes and visual gags that you don't even notice half of them the first time you see it. Your eyes cannot focus on all of the Kens at the same time and each one is doing something different and hilarious.
Hell I barely saw any of the foreground Kens I was laughing so hard... I nearly made a scene in the theater and my girlfriend had to tell me to stop laughing so hard 😂
I like how one of the things that inspired Ken earlier in the movie was the painting of Washington crossing the Delaware River so when they arrive on the beach he's mimicking the same pose from he painting.
Ryan was an apocalypse in this film, so hilarious and fragile and everything the movie wanted from him. He deserves an oscar nomination! And out of all Barbie songs i believe that "I'm just Ken" deserves best original song the most
I feel really sorry for everyone who doesn't find this hilarious! There is so much love in this. This battle will never be not funny! And RG, man... he is comedy gold!
Well their plan was to cause a violent conflict by pitting 2 sides against each other. They ingeniously created two factions of Kens and fostered animosity among them to enact a widespread voter-suppression campaign, so that the Kens would have no voice in their own governance. The Barbies successfully pulled off the plan as far as I can tell.
it was cool, they wanted to use the patriarchy against the kens but this just made the kens realize how they are hurt by it too, and they no longer want it. dunno how ppl interpreted this as anti men i thought it was sweet.
The reason this works is because he is SO serious. On paper, it sounds absolutely ridiculous. Hell, even the scene is ridiculous. But he’s playing it like it’s Shakespeare. I really hope he gets nominated for an Oscar for this because he stole the entire movie.
I agree! I think the recent movie Poor Things is similar. Both Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo commit fully to their characters, it feels like it shouldnt work but it's fantastic. Its hilarious and incredibly well done.
It’s a reference to Malibu Barbie and Ken-for some reason they always lived in Malibu and yes also parallel with D-Day and Saving Private Ryan. If you didn’t have Barbies you’ll couldn’t have known about Malibu Ken
@@DHynes5Mattel have a bad relationship with Aqua. They made Barbie Girl without Mattel’s permission and it wasn’t even a song about Barbie, listen to the lyrics more closely, it’s about a woman wanting to be treated like a sex doll by her boyfriend
I have watched this five minute clip a thousand times and I still find it funny. I notice something new in the background on every rewatch and every actor is giving it 100%. Ken KO’ing someone with his abs will forever be hilarious
I love the part where he says I'm just a 10 and Ryan Gosling shows Ken counting to 10 on his fingers leading up to him saying it. The little details are beautiful.
Only had one day to film it too Gerwig said! Probably took time to learn the choreography, but to do the dream dance battle shot in all one day is huge!
Man, I can’t wait to see this masterpiece re-enacted at the Oscars! The live performance better be wild and full on Kenergy! They better not disappoint us with a mid show! I don’t care if the song wins (although it should), I just want to see this song performed in its entire glory, cause it just deserves it.
I love that one of the Mattel executives gets "shot" when they walk through the battle scene (2:18) and then wears his arm in a sling in the final scene. 😂
I belive the phrase "I'll se you on the Malibu beach" is supposed to be a reference to some movie or something but I don't know it so I don't get the joke here 🥲
Every minute of this movie is pure gold, this is a highlight. ❤️ Ryan Gosling got started with Young Hercules and the person who hired him has my eternal gratitude.
Everything about this is so well done, but I am still astonished at how many different elements Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt brought into the composition.
I love this, on top of it being so funny I can't stop laughing, it also has so much heart in and really shows the struggle of not just the main Ken but all of them. And how they just want to seen, love, and how they got to love themselves.
I seen this in the cinema with my sisters and was CRY LAUGHING at this whole scene 😂😂😂 the sparkles and the guy screaming nearly had me on the floor. Fantastic movie ❤❤
What's great about this song is that despite the fact that it saltarted out with the Kens fighting each other, in the end they all unite becaise at some point they realize that they were not really mad at each other but just trying to define themselves and find meaning. Kind of similar to how women in the real world are often pitted against each other, but have over time have realised that being supportive of each other is much better and that its not each other that we need to fight.
Doesn't seem to matter what I do I'm always number two No one knows how hard I tried, oh-oh, I I have feelings that I can't explain Drivin' me insane All my life, been so polite But I'll sleep alone tonight 'Cause I'm just Ken, anywhere else I'd be a ten Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blonde fragility? I'm just Ken Where I see love, she sees a friend What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me? 2:25 I wanna know what's like to love, to be the real thing Is it a crime? Am I not hot when I'm in my feelings? And is my moment finally here, or am I dreaming? I'm no dreamer Can you feel the Kenergy? Feels so real, my Kenergy Can you feel the Kenergy? Feels so real, my Kenergy I'm just Ken, anywhere else I'd be a ten Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blonde fragility? I'm just Ken Where I see love, she sees a friend What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me?

I always wondered before watching the movie what they meant when everyone was saying Ryan Gosling was born for this role. After watching the film, I DO GET IT.
So true
More like Ken was created to be Ryan Gosling
Same! I wasn't a big fan of his until this. He IS Ken and I'm not mad at that.
Same! I fully admit before watching I didn't think he'd make a good Ken 😂 I eat crow, I was so wrong
So true!! He was GREAT IN THIS ROLE
The way he knocks a guy out just by flashing his washboard abs. It's just everything.

I like how one of the things that inspired Ken earlier in the movie was the painting of Washington crossing the Delaware River so when they arrive on the beach he's mimicking the same pose from he painting.
Ryan Gosling is one of the best, most talented, most handsome actors in the world. His work in Barbie was nothing short of amazing.
All these months later I can still feel the pure kenenergy that tells me that I am kenough
Ryan was an apocalypse in this film, so hilarious and fragile and everything the movie wanted from him. He deserves an oscar nomination! And out of all Barbie songs i believe that "I'm just Ken" deserves best original song the most
One of the Barbie’s using a kaleidoscope as a telescope has me rolling 😂
Who would've thought a movie about dolls could have such an empowering scene for men
I feel really sorry for everyone who doesn't find this hilarious! There is so much love in this. This battle will never be not funny! And RG, man... he is comedy gold!
People say this movie hates men which this is literally the movie's peak moment
The man in me soul is so connected to this song. This movie was a dang masterpiece.💟
That one song is the only thing people are remembering from the movie. This was spectacular scene.
i like how Barbie's plan was "now they destroy themselves" but the end result was peace and brotherhood.
Well their plan was to cause a violent conflict by pitting 2 sides against each other. They ingeniously created two factions of Kens and fostered animosity among them to enact a widespread voter-suppression campaign, so that the Kens would have no voice in their own governance. The Barbies successfully pulled off the plan as far as I can tell.
underrated comment
it was cool, they wanted to use the patriarchy against the kens but this just made the kens realize how they are hurt by it too, and they no longer want it. dunno how ppl interpreted this as anti men i thought it was sweet.
The reason this works is because he is SO serious. On paper, it sounds absolutely ridiculous. Hell, even the scene is ridiculous. But he’s playing it like it’s Shakespeare. I really hope he gets nominated for an Oscar for this because he stole the entire movie.
Legit. I don’t think a lot of people appreciate just how genius this entire song is and how epic Ryan’s performance. It’s comedy gold!
Comedy like this only works when it is fully and totally earnest. That's why Michael Caine's performance in A Muppet Christmas Carol is so memorable.
I agree! I think the recent movie Poor Things is similar. Both Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo commit fully to their characters, it feels like it shouldnt work but it's fantastic. Its hilarious and incredibly well done.
Honestly, you see him having fun the whole time. I don’t agree that he was so serious. Lol.
"Put that manly hand in mine" pure power,man.
"I'll see you on the Malibu beach" cracks me up! Idky why. LOL.
It’s a reference to Malibu Barbie and Ken-for some reason they always lived in Malibu and yes also parallel with D-Day and Saving Private Ryan. If you didn’t have Barbies you’ll couldn’t have known about Malibu Ken
I love Simu Liu performance, he just nails this scene 😊
5:02 Scott Evans in the cowboy hat realizes he forgot to vote and mouths "Oh my God".
Just wanted to add that Ryan Gosling has been nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar.
Dude broke his back carrying the whole movie so he definitely deserves it
he was the real protagonist of this move got the most screentime and carried the show
As someone whose name is Ken, I find this a very relatable song.
You’re just Ken and you’re enough and I’m sure you’re great at doing stuff
The instrumental synth break at 3:00 is fire!
The guy screaming bloody murder like his flesh is being melted off by the sparkles cracks me the fuck up every time.
Thanks to this film Ken now has his own song just like Barbie does (the one by Aqua).
Ken's storyline was what I paid the most attention.
It was the only part of the movie that really deserved the attention
@@tijmen131no,it wasn't the only part
@@CTladiesmanyeah it was
I did like Barbie's existential crisis, but Ken's story was my favorite part
@@Collat3ralD4mage why??
This might’ve been Barbie’s movie, but this was Ken’s moment
😬
No-one is going to remember the Best Song Oscar winner from Barbie - but everyone is going to remember the best song from the movie.
The random aggressive dance battle in the middle never fails to kill me
After All these years, we have the perfect counterpart to Aqua’s Barbie Girl
Someone needs to make a mashup of the two songs.
Wasted opportunity to not have Barbie Girl on the soundtrack (no the Nicki Ninaj does not count!)
@@DHynes5Mattel have a bad relationship with Aqua. They made Barbie Girl without Mattel’s permission and it wasn’t even a song about Barbie, listen to the lyrics more closely, it’s about a woman wanting to be treated like a sex doll by her boyfriend
I have watched this five minute clip a thousand times and I still find it funny. I notice something new in the background on every rewatch and every actor is giving it 100%. Ken KO’ing someone with his abs will forever be hilarious
I love the part where he says I'm just a 10 and Ryan Gosling shows Ken counting to 10 on his fingers leading up to him saying it. The little details are beautiful.
It's been months and I cannot get over the Kens' 2:50 Domain Expansion: Dance Battle
Only had one day to film it too Gerwig said! Probably took time to learn the choreography, but to do the dream dance battle shot in all one day is huge!
Ik it’s a “Barbie” movie but let’s be honest…the kens are the best part
I love how Barbie had some cameos in this Ken movie
I hate how this song gets more addictive every time I hear it.
3:56 EPIC ENTRANCE
Man, I can’t wait to see this masterpiece re-enacted at the Oscars! The live performance better be wild and full on Kenergy! They better not disappoint us with a mid show! I don’t care if the song wins (although it should), I just want to see this song performed in its entire glory, cause it just deserves it.
2:45 I absolutely love the delivery on this part 😍 “I’m no dreamer~”
"I'm just ken, and I'm enough" stirred some feelings inside me (I haven't had emotions for a long time)
4:27 best line ever
I’m so glad he was chosen for this role. He was amazing. No one else could have such a kenergy 🩷
Where I see love she sees a friend, Holy hell, that line hits me so hard.
underrated moment when Ryan and Simu create the white sparkles on the beach and the second Ken is screaming in pain 😭😭😭
RG earned an Oscar for this performance.
This song needs to win every awards. It so iconic and will be talked about for next hundred years.
This song is nothing short of epic. Slash on guitar ftw
1:50 Dudes in the background just folk dancin' 😂
I’ve watched this scene so many times and never noticed that
This scene’s a fucking masterpiece
I love that one of the Mattel executives gets "shot" when they walk through the battle scene (2:18) and then wears his arm in a sling in the final scene. 😂
That’s it. Best scene in the entire movie.
No one in the history of movies has ever committed to falling down like the guy who got hit with the frisbee.
“I’LL SEE YOU ON THE MALIBU BEACH” 😂😂
Can you explain the reference? Cause I don’t get it 🥲
@@megem616 what do you mean
I belive the phrase "I'll se you on the Malibu beach" is supposed to be a reference to some movie or something but I don't know it so I don't get the joke here 🥲
@@megem616 I just wrote that comment because it’s just funny 😆
@@megem616 Because the OG blonde hair tan surfer style ken was called "Sun Lovin’ Malibu Ken" it came out in 1979
Every minute of this movie is pure gold, this is a highlight. ❤️
Ryan Gosling got started with Young Hercules and the person who hired him has my eternal gratitude.
he got started with mickey mouse club my dude
@@milesdoyle7683 I didn't watch Mickey Mouse Club. But thank you for the clarification. 😊
Everything about this is so well done, but I am still astonished at how many different elements Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt brought into the composition.
This song/video was nominated for a Grammy! So cool!
My daughter sings this song 24/7 and knows every move and line
Hearing this song makes me want my own Mojo Dojo Casa House
I love this, on top of it being so funny I can't stop laughing, it also has so much heart in and really shows the struggle of not just the main Ken but all of them. And how they just want to seen, love, and how they got to love themselves.
“I am enough, and I’m great at doing stuff” 😂😂😂
This is Oscar worthy for sure!! 🎉🎉🎉RYAN GOSLING AND THE DANCERS AND CREW. THIS STOLE THE SHOW WHEN I SAW THE MOVIE WITH MY SON AND DAUGHTER ❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
I seen this in the cinema with my sisters and was CRY LAUGHING at this whole scene 😂😂😂 the sparkles and the guy screaming nearly had me on the floor. Fantastic movie ❤❤
This definitely deserved the best song award.
What's great about this song is that despite the fact that it saltarted out with the Kens fighting each other, in the end they all unite becaise at some point they realize that they were not really mad at each other but just trying to define themselves and find meaning. Kind of similar to how women in the real world are often pitted against each other, but have over time have realised that being supportive of each other is much better and that its not each other that we need to fight.
He stole the Oscars. HE IS KENOUGH 💖
This movie really made me laugh a LOT more than I expected it to, a lot of that was Ryan Gosling. What a gem.
This is the BEST scene in the movie. Bravo, Ryan Gosling.
The way the're standing on the beach, holding hands and panting. Usually songs just cut after, seeing the awkward aftermath is hilarious.
Ryan Gosling nailed this so hard I feel like he tapped into something that's always been inside himself that even he didn't realize was there.
“I’ll see you on the Malibu beach” still one of the best parts .
All the Ken’s of the world must be loving this song. I have a grandfather named Ken (Kenneth)
Doesn't seem to matter what I do
I'm always number two
No one knows how hard I tried, oh-oh, I
I have feelings that I can't explain
Drivin' me insane
All my life, been so polite
But I'll sleep alone tonight
'Cause I'm just Ken, anywhere else I'd be a ten
Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blonde fragility?
I'm just Ken
Where I see love, she sees a friend
What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me?
2:25
I wanna know what's like to love, to be the real thing
Is it a crime? Am I not hot when I'm in my feelings?
And is my moment finally here, or am I dreaming?
I'm no dreamer
Can you feel the Kenergy?
Feels so real, my Kenergy
Can you feel the Kenergy?
Feels so real, my Kenergy
I'm just Ken, anywhere else I'd be a ten
Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blonde fragility?
I'm just Ken
Where I see love, she sees a friend
What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me?
I'm just Ken (and I'm enough)
And I'm great at doing stuff
So, hey, check me out, yeah, I'm just Ken
My name's Ken (and so am I)
Put that manly hand in mine
So, hey, world, check me out, yeah, I'm just Ken
Baby, I'm just Ken (nobody else, nobody else)
