I can’t believe Barbie made me choke up but Rhea Pearlman said “mothers stand still so daughters can look back and see how far they’ve come” and I was a goner

Barbie

Greta Gerwig’s BARBIE (2023, Max) is an anomaly. It’s a film created to help market a toy, but it also has a solid basis in feminism and performance theory. Gerwig’s approach flirts with subversion, and if it never quite goes all the way, it’s an enjoyable ride with some lovely buoyant moments. It opens with a funny send-up of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (1968) featuring little girls in a desert landscape destroying their baby dolls after the appearance of a giant Barbie in their midst. We then move to Barbieland, where the Barbies and Kens live along with some discontinued models like Midge, Allen and Magic Earring Ken. Stereotypical Barbie (Margot Robbie) starts worrying about death and develops cellulite, which suggests a negative influence from someone playing with her in the real world. So she travels there with her boyfriend, Beach Ken (Ryan Gosling, who’s very funny). There each starts a journey of discovery.

Gerwig and co-writer Noah Baumbach throw in a lot of good, silly stuff and envision the collision of toy and real world very thoroughly. As a director, Gerwig works well with a large ensemble cast including Issa Rae, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, Michael Cera, Will Ferrell and a surprisingly beatific Rhea Pearlman. But there are also places where it feels like we have to pay for the silliness. When Barbie and Ken return to Barbieland, the action drags a bit, and there’s a scene in which the two discuss identity that borders on the preachy. There’s also a chase scene with some evil executives that could be better staged. It feels almost perfunctory and lacks the balletic wonder of Chaplin, Keaton or Preston Sturges. And after setting the film up as a musical, Gerwig and Baumbach make us wait an awfully long time between numbers. But things perk up a lot when America Ferrera, who’s quite wonderful, delivers “the monologue,” which, for all its political points she wisely plays spontaneously. It’s less a lecture than her own moment of discovery. And the staging and performance of “I’m Just Ken” and the montage under “What Was I Made For” are spot on.

I don’t know whether it was somebody’s comment on the invisibility of women or a rebellion against the film’s feminist message, but whoever did the closed captions for Max refers to Ferrara throughout not by her character’s name, Gloria, but as “Sasha’s mother.”

So that's the "Barbie" movie, huh?

I've been diligent about not having it spoiled and I'm glad I was able to hold out so long.

I wasn't expecting it to be like that.

Visually? Very fun! Love the sets and props

I liked Barbie being tied to an adult instead of a child.

Um. Wow. The story and dialogue and the "message" was very on the nose, huh? Spoon force fed even.

Really didn't think Ken would be the antagonist and the star of the show. I love him.

Was excited to see Rhea Pearlman's name in the intro credits. Was not expecting her to be Ruth Handler though.

It was fun, the best parts were definitely the Ken centric scenes. Also anything with Allan was wonderful. I feel for the three Allan fans in the world. I'm glad you got Alan on the silver screen, but I know none of you would have ever chosen Michael Cera for the role 😅

It was both fun and amusing to watch. Laughed quite a bit! But I was also mildly annoyed by it?

It's odd.

But I guess it's better than what we could have had considering it's a film about the actual Barbie franchise.

I dunno.

I feel it needs another rewatch but also nah?

Me? Coherent thoughts and emotions? Ha!

Barbie

When I first heard about a Barbie movie, I like many people rolled their eyes at the very thought of it. Barbie media has often (at times unfairly) lambasted for being a cash grab and that was my initial reaction, however we I heard that Margot Robbie was involved and her production company was fitting the bill, my interest was piqued. So without further ado, (and I never thought I would ever say these words) let’s talk about Barbie!

We’re introduced to the fictional world of Barbieland, where every concept of Barbie exists and lives in perfect harmony with a respective Ken, and Allan (there’s only one of him.) But the harmony is disrupted when Robbie’s Stereotypical Barbie begins to suffer from an existential crisis and in order for her to fix what’s wrong she must go to the real world and meet the girl who is playing with her and figure out what’s wrong.

In all genres of entertainment, comedy is one of those that I am insanely harsh on, as comedian myself I feel like there should be a flow to long form story, especially in comedy. But I can say that Director and co-screenwriter Greta Gerwig created a work that was heartfelt and hilarious in this film.

The cinematography is nothing short of brilliant, lots and lots of pink paint was used to bring Barbieland to life and it felt like one massive play set. And the various Real World shots were not to be out done giving off a stark contrast to each other.

The soundtrack was a delightful mix of classic top 40s, newer hits and self-aware comedic songs. The score was equally light poppy and fun, composers (pop music legend) Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt brought an amazing upbeat energy to this film.

Co-writer Noah Baumbach, helped with some very well-timed jokes, and you know they worked because they triggered a metric ton of incels, and that alone was worth the price of admission. Together with Gerwig, I was throughly impressed with the amount of meta commentary on display, and despite what some might lead you to believe, the film doesn’t demonize men; the film’s message is far more complex than that. I also appreciate the fact that they made the movie about the titular character, with seems to be something that franchises like Transformers can’t seem to get right.

And the performances were hilariously well done, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gossling have great chemistry as they lampoon the ideas of these characters’ roles. Simu Liu, is amazing versatile and brings the same amazing timing that he brought to Kim’s Convenience and it was delightful. Although my favorite Barbies were Issa Rei as President Barbie and Sharon Rooney as Lawyer Barbie. And I would be remised to ignore Hari Nef whose Doctor Barbie was whimsical and charming, Also since I’m madly in love with Alexandra Shipp I can say that she another of my favorite parts. America Ferreira and Ariana Greenblat served as great moral support for the various inhabitants of Barbieland and then there Will Ferrell I was almost convinced was Ken at one point given his goofball behavior. I also enjoyed seeing Rhea Pearlman as one (spoilers), she just gets better with age. Kate McKinnon really went all in as Weird Barbie as did Michael Cera as Allan (easily my favorite character in the film.) And last but certainly NOT least, Dame Hellen Mirren as the narrator brought a nice touch of her

Barbie was more than what I and many others initially expected, it was packaged as a goofball fish-out-of-water comedy which is a tired cliché in its own right, I sat down on this for a good while before writing this and I feel like its one of the best comedies I have seen in a very long time. It was very funny, but it also had a lot to say about growing up, holding on to thing that we love, and letting go of them. The biggest message that we all have to find our own way, because we are all more than just an idea and life doesn’t exist in just a straight line and at the end of the day isn’t that what it means to be human?

I give Barbie a well-deserved, 5 out of 5.

I just listen to the part where Rhea Pearlman as Ruth Handler tells Barbie “that’s why we mothers stand still, to see how far our daughters will go” and have a nice, cathartic bawl my eyes out every single time, thanks.

#barbie movie #because I love my mom so much you guys #and I hope she didn’t stand too still

[yelena-bellova]

what did you think about barbie? I personally loved it! people either hate it or love it. (and by I hate I mean "think it's anti-men or too woke") what were your thoughts?

I LOVED IT!!

To be honest, I had a very mixed relationship with Barbie once I became an adult. I didn’t get the era of inclusive dolls girls these days are getting. A lot of my earliest body issues started with thinking I had to look like Barbie with the perfect hourglass figure and everything. So when the movie was announced, I really wasn’t excited about it.

HOWEVER….

I was not prepared for this movie to heal my feelings on Barbie. I was so moved by it, especially in the third act. Margot Robbie absolutely slayed it, Rhea Pearlman was another highlight for me. America Ferrara’s monologue was PERFECTION. It was all so well done! Barbie’s changed so much when I was a kid and I really feel like I made peace with a lot of my issues that stemmed from the dolls. BARBIE REALLY CAN BE ANYTHING 😭😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹🥹

As far as the whole “anti-man” thing goes, I can understand why innocent, just-really-nice guys may have come away feeling like it was a smack on the nose, but I feel like Ken had a whole storyline that guys could follow that was real and honest. How many men are taught that their identity is wrapped in their girlfriend, their clothes, their job, etc. ? I think Ken’s ending of letting go of that pressure to be his accomplishments and things (and Barbie’s boyfriend obviously) was really perfect. I hope there are at least a few guys who came out of the theater feeling a little bit better about themselves and like they were Kenough 💖

All in all, I loved it. I need to watch it a million more times once it’s streaming. Could definitely see it becoming one of my all-time favorites! 💘💘

of course people freaking out over the barbie movie wouldn’t know who rhea pearlman is do you think they know anything

[amostexcellentblog]

About to be controversial on main, but Barbie was fun for the first 2/3 but had too much going on in its third act, with the Kens, and the CEOs, and Rhea Pearlman, it lost its momentum and felt a little muddled.

Also, did anyone else find it weird that when the two biggest issues facing the feminist movement right now are the overturning of Roe v Wade and the increased attacks on trans women, this movie that presents itself as super feminist ends on a scene that says that what ultimately makes you a real woman is your ability to bear children?

(Also, because these films are now forever linked, I saw Oppenheimer on Saturday and it was a masterpiece.)

Turns out even after listening to “What I Was Made For?” on repeat since opening weekend of Barbie, the goddamn montage still had me in tears. Greta really gave us a one two punch of Rhea Pearlman delivering THAT line then THAT lovely tribute. The woman really said you WILL cry watching a silly lil movie about a doll

#barbie 2023 #it still hits the second go around #and America BETTER be nominated for an Oscar #her delivery of the monologue is incredible #she’s been my girl since Gotta Kick It Up and I love her so

Went down a small rabbit hole looking up actors in the Barbie movie and found out something that floored me.

Ok, so Alexandra Shipp plays one of the Barbies. I wasn't sure if I'd seen her in anything, so I brought up her IMDB. Turns out she played Storm in a couple of the X-Men movies.

Which ones? X-Men: Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix.

I'm a huge X-Men fan, but I'm a fan of the comics, not really the movies. I own quite a few of them but I couldn't even bring myself to watch the last one. Those movies crushed my soul.

I couldn't remember the Apocalypse movie hardly at all. It was so long ago. All I remembered was Olivia Munn as Psylocke. That nerd was so excited to get the role. I wish the movie did her more justice.

Anyways, I'm looking at the IMDB page for that shitty movie and it hits me; I've seen it before.

Y'all, that was the X-Men movie that broke me. For all of my outrage about the third movie, I kept watching them. First Class gave me hope and then destroyed it again and again with every subsequent film.

You know what the real kick in the pants is?

Guess who played Apocalypse.

Y'all.

IT WAS OSCAR ISAAC.

That movie was so bad that not even Oscar Freaking Isaac could save it!

Anyways, I'm totally going to watch the Barbie movie. It looks fun. Plus, they dragged Rhea Pearlman out for that! Do you know how old that woman is? And she's still funny!
