!BARBIE MOVIE SPOILERS!

I don't see anyone talking about the pink pantheress song "Angel" , well more specifically how the song is used in the film.

The song was what I was most interested about when the soundtrack came out. Being my favorite song, I thought it would take place when Barbie and Ken got separated in the real world.

However, the chorus of the song is utilized when we first meet Sasha, and my interpretation is that this is how Barbie views Sasha.

Long post below.

'(s)he could be the one to make me never freeze again,'

Sasha chose her from the shelves and took he out of the box, she played with her and gave her a story. Barbie loves Sasha, she's her girl, and at least to Barbie, I believe she'll always see Sasha as the little girl she needs to inspire the most.

'Cause one day, One day, my baby just went away My angel, You're what haunts me now that you're away'

while Sasha grows out of playing with Barbie, this doesn't diminish Barbie's feelings towards her, especially when she first arrives in the real world. Sasha can be seen as Barbie's angel, someone who bestowed purpose and life upon her when she was just a doll. The part about haunting her could easily be applied to the start of Barbie's existential crisis she has in the film. She and Sasha are connected, but that connection was lost when Sasha grew out of her Barbie phase. as often happens when young girls begin distancing themselves from traditionally girly things intentionally. Barbie's attachment to Sasha echoes the sentiments felt by many parents, such as Gloria, who experience a bittersweet mix of pride and nostalgia as their children grow and change. Barbie's emotions mirror what Gloria goes through when her daughter starts distancing herself from her previous interests.

'You won't check your phone so you can't tell me you're okay, because Jo̶h̶n̶n̶y̶, my baby, did it always have to end this way? '

We know Barbie went to the real world because of Sasha and believing she's going through something, but when they're meet up doesn't go well and Sasha calls Barbie a fascist. Barbie already thinks she's failed. It's why when Barbie is talking with Sasha she keeps going over what she's supposed to represent and how she's supposed to make Sasha happy and powerful.

When Sasha berates her, Barbie doesn't snap back. she tries to laugh it off but she's hurting inside and she asks to be excused. She cries and then she leaves Sasha, she leaves with the Mattel people because she doesn't believe she can change Sasha's view on her. (at least not right now)and she's convinced girls hate her. Going to Mattel is more like going to a place of comfort and possible reassurance after feeling like she's failed. That things are destined to end this way with her and Sasha. But Sasha does learn to appreciate Barbie after getting to know her better and going to Barbieland. Barbie is her doll at the end of the day and that's why even supposedly when she's about to leave she asks what Barbie's ending is. Even outright refusing the one she doesn't see as *her* ending. So no it didn't have to end that way and it didn't.

Anyways I think they're underappreciated and I love them <3
