Review of Barbie (2023) by Maleficento — 21 Jul 2023

Is it just me? This was a terrible movie. This movie is definitely for PG13&^ children wouldn’t have a clue what they’re watching. It just didn’t make scene there was so much going on that didn’t have closure.

My perspective I think it starts out okay, about women empowerment, feminism, a Barbie can be everything and anything a doctor a lawyer etc but then it gets dark, inequalities that women face, mother roles and responsibilities, getting older, Male& female roles how men can quickly hold authority and power, Barbie becomes depressed because she doesn’t feel pretty anymore bc she’s not the STEREOTYPICAL Barbie bc the person playing with her is depressed and draws cellulite pictures of her (which is an older women in her late 30s) so Barbie get cellulite and in Barbie land that’s a malfunction and you’re considered “weird”she starts thinking about death and becomes depressed, she loses her confidence and at the end she doesn’t even want to be Barbie anymore she wants to be human and goes to see her GYN .

. what?? .. Maybe I pay too much attention to details and the meaning behind each thing. But she doesn’t stay Barbie because childhood isn’t meant to be forever only in barbie land which doesn’t exist anymore / because we become older and aware exposed to the real world such as emotions “depression, crying” therefore destroyed and then we die .

. I wouldn’t watch it again .. and tell me why 1 doll is gay but he can’t be a Ken He is “just Alan” and being pregnant is unexceptional bc Mattel will discontinue that kind of Barbie ..
