Cool. At least you gave it a shot, and from how much attention you paid the movie, seems like you at least appreciate how much work went into making it.
Not everyone’s gonna be happy with a final product. That’s all that can be said.
I’ll point out, btw, your last paragraph was the primary thrust of the movie, in my opinion.
The movie did a terrible job of conveying the last sentence in my opinion. I know that is what they were trying to convey, but I think the execution was terrible.
To be clear, I loved some parts of the movie and laughed a lot.
Stereotypical Barbie being the mom’s toy instead of the child’s was a fantastic idea!
Weird Barbie was the absolute best written character, but I don’t get why she was the only self aware Barbie.
All the Kens singing ‘I want to push you around’ as a serenade was fucking hysterical for a bunch of reasons. I wish all of the humor was at that level!
The montage for moving between worlds was fantastic (the first time)
President Business or whatever they called him in this movie wanting to stand up for women was pretty clever, but clashes with the all male board in the movie when in reality where 5 of the 11 board members are women. They could have had women members who were over talked or something to reinforce the patriarchy being slightly more complex that ‘all men all the time’.
Heck, even the Kens being sad about being second class citizens was a great idea and I think they just didn’t make it clear enough even though they had scenes where they touched on it.
To be honest, I wouldn’t have even written any of these posts if I had not had high hopes for the movie and just assumed it would be generic Hollywood pandering.
