thing about Barbie that I lovedddd was how much all her raw moments were with older women that society often considers beyond their prime
her watching how humanity lives and loves, and immediately being struck by the beauty that comes with aging as she did with the woman at the bus stand-- and saying it out loud, as a person who has been hailed as the standard of beauty and its adjacence with youth for so long
getting comfort and sanctuary and a moment of calm in the middle from another older woman, and her guidance at the end from the same lady who helps her understand what she is going through
there is something there about making the heart of the film older women, when the very thing that sets Barbie off on her adventure was the fear of cellulite and aging

something something ken didn't cling to the patriarchy out of malice or genuine sexism, he just felt underappreciated in barbieland as his only identity was "being barbie's boyfriend" and he felt like he was only appreciated in the male dominated real world and it parallels how alpha males can take advantage of young insecure boys to suck them into the manosphere something something

I love how Barbie (2023) takes pains to drive home that the Real World is in fact our world and that it contains the whole of real human suffering and joy and is full of regular-ass imperfect people
AND THEN takes the Mattel boardroom and once more heightens everything, makes it absurd and offputtingly sterile and puts a cardboard background outside the window and makes all the acting of the employees physically stiff and artificial-seeming, as a way to point out that the rich and powerful are living in a similar kind of detatched artificial fantasy world to barbieland, even if it's technically contained to our world
because all that money and power means practically speaking, capitalists aren't real people and are playing pretend their whole lives

I find the fact that the Barbie movie is simultaneously being criticized by the right as “too radical”, and criticized by the left as “too nice to men” and/or “too pandering”, quite funny, given that America’s WHOLE SPEECH was about how, no matter what women (like the director of the Barbie movie) do, it will simultaneously always be too little and too much.

Ken's progression OUT of color
This is kinda a cornplate thought that I had nowhere else to put but I love how in the Barbie movie(SPOILERS), Ryan Gosling's Ken's outfits symbolically showcase his "descent" into full patriarchy mode over time.
Tumblr media
At the beginning of the film Ken's beach outfit (his default) has an equal balance of pink and blue. Pink is obviously Barbie's color, and shows Ken as fitting well into the femininity and style of Barbieland, while blue could be argued to be Ken's color (a scene later when he's especially confident features him wearing all denim blue, and the stereotypical gender of these colors, especially when found in kid's toys, supports these basic binaries as associated with these colors).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Ken decides to leave Barbieland with Barbie to delve into the outside world, his color scheme goes full pink, desperate enough to be with Barbie that his attire reflects how dependent his identity is on hers at this stage.
Tumblr media
However, it isn't long before Ken's exploration of the real world leads him to exciting new discoveries about the patriarchy and what it can do for him. Here he is introduced to a newfound sense of self independent from barbie, and while he still carries a pink scarf around his neck, the rest of his outfit has devolved into black and white while hers has remained colorful. As he pursues this new-to-him idea further, his worldview is becoming less unique, pretty, and vibrant(in addition to becoming much more masculine).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It is only his scarf that ties him to Barbie now, and upon making the choice not to follow her to Mattel, he becomes fully independent, losing the scarf and any trace of pink in his attire the next time we see him in his mojo dojo casa house coat and beach off outfit underneath.
In his most masculine moment during "Just Ken", he and the other Kens all wear a uniform of the most traditionally male ben shapiro outfit ever: A T-Shirt, belt, and dress pants. All black(and no white either to contrast like the previous 2 outfits). It's fitting that the Kens, in their destructive warpath, imagine themselves as perfectly cleaned up yet violently masculine dancers in their heads, their outfits devoid of all of the flair and character of Barbieland.
Tumblr media
(excuse the shitty picture) After Ken has his little self-growth moment, his new sweatshirt reflects the changed and much more balanced man he has become, much more accepting of himself and a life where he can co-exist with Barbie without being with her. This outfit is again an almost perfect balance of pink and blue, both sides of Ken now a bit more at peace, his colors not pushed out by the LITERALLY black hole of toxic masculinity.
The color scheme also matches the roller blading outfit, so perhaps it shows a somewhat intermediary stage of Ken's development wherein he is still attached to and at peace with Barbieland, but where he is starting to become more independent as well. anyway these are all fun and i genuinely have no fucking idea why Mattel didn't cash in on literally making dolls of all the characters and their outfits these would be so fun to own

i really am annoyed by people’s analysis of the scene with the old woman in barbie being that barbie finds her beautiful because she was never taught aging isn’t beautiful when she LITERALLY hated cellulite on sight and was disgusted by it and is going to the real world so that she DOESN’T age or change. it’s the exact same way people talked abt that enchanted gifset on here for years (you know the one). the scene where barbie tells the woman she’s beautiful comes immediately after she has seen humanity in its mundanity, in its highs and its lows and she is so moved by how much someone can feel when they are not living in a candy-coated dream world and when she sees the older woman she has a realization that if she wants this, she has to want all of it, and it is so worth it. she can get rid of the cellulite and the wrinkles and go back to being pretty and pink and perfect but now that she has seen how beautiful and terrible it can be to be human she can’t say no to that, and the proof of living a long and worthwhile life is beautiful to her.

in the latest cyber-news: the internet archive has lost their case against 4 major publishing houses (verge article). they’re going to appeal, but this is still a bad outcome. the fate of the internet is currently hanging in the balance because 4 multibillionare publishing groups missed out on like $15 of combined revenue during the pandemic because of the archive’s online library service. it’s so fucking stupid.
for those who don’t know what the internet archive is, it’s a virtual library full of media. books, magazines, recordings, visuals, flash games, websites - a lot of these things either don’t exist anymore or cannot be found & bought. heard of the wayback machine? that’s part of the internet archive. it is the most important website to exist, and i don’t say that lightly. if the internet archive goes down, the cultural loss will be immeasurable.
so how can you help?
boycott the publishing companies involved in this. they’re absolute ghouls, frankly, and don’t deserve a penny. the companies involved are harpercollins (imprints), wiley (imprints), penguin random house llc (imprints), and hachette book group (imprints). make sure the websites are set to your location as it may differ worldwide.
learn to torrent. download a torrent client (i recommend transmission), a vpn (i recommend protonvpn - sign up and choose the area that’s closest to your continent/country), and hit up /r/piracy on reddit for websites. with torrenting, you can get (almost) any media you want for free in high quality, with add-ons such as subtitles, and with no risks of loss. i would also recommend getting into the habit of watching stuff online for free. the less you can pay to a giant corporation, the better.
get into the habit of downloading and archiving materials. find a TB external hard drive, ideally the higher the better. it’ll probably cost around $60 for 1TB and continue to go up, but they’re so so useful. if you can’t afford a drive, look for any GB harddrives or memory sticks you have lying around and just fill them up. videos, pdfs, magazines, songs, movies, games - anything you can rip and download and fit on there, do it, because nothing is permanent.
donate to the internet archive. this is the most important option on the list. the IA relies entirely on funding, and it’s going to need more to fight this case. whatever you can donate, do it. i promise it’s helpful.
and finally…
