Review of Barbie (2023) by Viniciussawate — 23 Jul 2023
Barbie talks about choices and changes. In the hands of Greta Gerwig, the typical behavior of dolls and dolls, via imagination, takes on a critical form and points to many paths, visiting metalanguage, political-social relations, patriarchy and feminism, feelings (including the arrogant and insensitive posture of Barbie in front of Ken; as well as the sick transition of the doll in front of his girlfriend), such as existential crises or the acceptance of one's own social and gender condition.
The work fulfilled the promise that we would have a product different from what one could imagine from a live-action Barbie. It is the assumed use of passive artificiality to show the contradictions, the suggestions of progress and the possibilities of a Universe with the face of the 1950s that no one ever had the courage to show what it really was, in all its nuances and possibilities of transformation.
Until now.
