#so much as it was to make a campy blockbuster that gently acknowledges the ways people can so often feel left out

back from the barbie movie and I certainly have Thoughts on what the movie was doing but overall I do think it's worth seeing! it's fun
#☢️.txt
#spoilers in tags!
#i think what they did with ken is actually really fascinating and while i do get why the movie doesnt focus on his motivations
#or the fantasy politics of barbieland
#i AM personally interested in them
#like his frustration is coming from a legitimate place and the movie does acknowledge that both barbie (margot) and the barbies overall were
#Not In The Right and its not the actual solution to the issue of feminism
#in the same way that the movie acknowledged that barbie didnt solve feminism and in many cases ended up playing into
#the very ideas that prevent women from pursuing the jobs barbie is often shown in
#im sure ppl will critique the movie for not going far enough but like. i dont think their point was to make a massive statement?
#so much as it was to make a campy blockbuster that gently acknowledges the ways people can so often feel left out
#its not the feminist piece of a generation so much as it is a love letter to barbie that acknowledges how shes
#an inherently flawed consumerist brand. but one thats deeply cherished by generations and has left a massive pink stamp on our culture
#(its probably worth noting that i have generally positive memories of barbie)
#(despite being a weird fat kid i never personally felt alienated by barbie and my memories are extremely fond)
#(i didnt like baby dolls bc. i never have liked kids but barbie was a fantasy in sparkly dresses)
#(she was married to my dinosaur toys. ive always known what im about yes)
#my favorite barbies were swan lake a halloween witch barbie and a halloween ghost barbie
#(also idk is this an autistic thing for me to only learn most young girls compared their bodies to barbie at like 14?)
#(like it just never dawned on me to compare my looks to a toy tbqh. i was more upset by the actual lack of clothing in my size)
