I am tired of seeing complaints about America's monologue in Barbie being very basic and nothing new. Yes, it feels like something I have tweeted a thousand times years ago but I still cried and cried. What people tend to overlook is that in the movie she is not saying these things to women who have lived these all their lives, she isn't watering it down for hardcore feminists who know this and a thousand times more. She is talking to a literal doll who has only experienced womanhood in the real world and in Ken's mimicking of patriarchy for a moment and it has already broken her down. She is saying these things to someone who is feeling some things, most things for the very first time and can barely articulate them, and is doing it for her because she knows it very well. It might not feel like much to someone who has lived the life we lived, read and watched the things we have and fought our whole lives, but its everything to a doll who is experiencing patriarchy for the first time or may be a little girl in the real world who is growing up now and being more exposed to it everyday.

The strength in America's monologue is not in what she says being something noone has heard before, but its in the fact that we go through these things so often that they seem like nothing to us anymore and she is seeing the same things break Barbie down and is realising how messed up it is that even a doll who was made to represent women couldn't escape it. Such is the plight of womanhood.

Its inevitable.

the barbie movie has slowly made me realize that maybe i never hated being a girl. maybe i just hated the way i was treated for it.

i'm sorry but i keep thinking about how barbie really felt like a hug from your mum for all the 20-something girls that are out there trying to be the best version of themselves when they are not even sure about what they actually are yet and i think it is so beautiful and also that are things like this that make me grateful to be a woman

I spoke to a friend (of male variant) today, and asked him if he had watched Barbie.

He said no, he wouldn’t like it.

He said the movie degrades men.

My brain cell: 🤯

Best of 2023 Movies #5: Barbie

We enter our top 5 with one major unexpected question.

How can a film designed around a toy icon manage to be fresh and oddly appealing.

Simple, bring in someone knowledgeable about quarter life crises and give it over to Margot Robbie.

We get the famous one made of plastic and fantastic.

Life in Barbieland can seem like a never ending party, but one Barbie in particular happens to suddenly gain very real concerns that compromise her ideal livelihood.

As Stereotypical Barbie sets out for LA to find herself she ends up being joined by her right hand Ken and they creatively come into different aspects of what they know.

She begins to see what her human counterparts inadvertently put into her mindset, one being a support executive from Mattel.

While he discovers human history from the patriarchal perspective and seeks to bring that back for the other Ken’s who begin to come around to not being only used as objects by the Barbies.

Message heavy, big time but what Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera and even Rhea Perlman show here is how there is more to the iconic dolls than just being used as metaphors for life and what others see instead of what you can make.

Ideas live forever while humans don’t have the same luxury, they do know how to live life to the best of their ability.

Greta Gerwig may come across as heavy handed with her films but she does know what can make others think.

Barbie unexpectedly made us think, which nobody saw coming from a movie about a doll.

And when combined with another thinker concerning ideals that may do another means of harm, this was part of a well spent 5 hours.

Plus either way.

SUM 22: Whether you like or hate her, Barbie, Margot and Ryan brought us the thinker of the year. Making our own Music.

« Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow, we're always doing it wrong.

You have to be thin, but not too thin, and you can't never say you want to be thin, you have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can't ask money because that's gross.

You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean.

You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas. You're supposed to love being a mother but don't talk about you kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining. You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be part of the sisterhood, but always stands out. And always be grateful, but never forget the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that but also, always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line. It's too hard, it's too contradictory, and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you adn it turns out in fact that not only are doing everything wrong, but also, everything is your fault.

I'm just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us. »

So I went to see the barbieheimer movie

Here’s what I think as a major in film studies

Very witty humor gen z x funny millennial

Would’ve had such good fun writing this script I would feel like

Hard to pay attention to at some points like how I still need to watch everything everywhere all at once for the third time in a row just to catch everything

5 seconds in and I already forgotten about the 2001 reference was cackling

Was ridiculously grinning throughout the whole movie because as a film major haven’t seen anything like it yet

I hope pray and manifest I make something like this in my career please

Honestly the movie that might define this generation

The only bad part of this to me was the fact they worked everything up just to have everything the same again

I am actually very frustrated with the ending to make it a stronger ending it should’ve been everyone works together instead of having it the same as it was before *screams in pillow*

It could’ve been like encanto where we all wanted mirable to have a miracle but in the end she was even better at just being herself instead of her gaining her power

I guess the message of this is there usually isn’t always a black and white way to everything sometimes we have to work together to meet in the middle which is what some problems could’ve been contained if we’ve just tried compromising

Thinking about how people have to have the babiest spoons handfed to them to get them to care about women . Ok guys we know you like characters…. But let’s all sit for a second and see if we can think of one that’s a woman. It’s ok take your time. We know caring about women is hard. That’s why we’ve invented genderbends: where you can pretend to care about women by caring about men. Don’t worry. We’re not going to ask you to actually care about a character who’s actually a woman. That would be laughable. This is just an intellectual exercise where we go now what if this man… was instead someone’s daughter? #makes you think . And if that’s too hard that’s also ok. You can say that your m/m pairing is yuri dust your hands off and call it a day

#Every day I walk around in gods green internet who think the Barbie monologue was the most impactful statement on womanhood made in the last #century.#etxt

I just saw Barbie again with my mom and sister and noticed something:

A little snippet, a soft whisper of What Was I Made For? plays when Barbie is on the bus bench with the old lady telling her she’s beautiful; I could hear the piano and Billie’s soft humming melody there, and then I think it happens again when Gloria is about to speak her monologue, right before when she tells Barbie she’s so beautiful.

The song plays when women are helping other women.

I am unwell.
