BARBIE A light-hearted, existential centric movie that thrives to navigate its way through the complex labyrinth of feminism, patriarchy, and matriarchy. Alongside the theme of existentialism or self discovery is the theme of satire. It satirical theme explores the delusion of a matriarchal society being the solution to a patriarchal society, as can be seen in the matriarchal Barbieland as compared to the patriarchal real world. But unfortunately, matriarchy isn't the solution as can be seen in the movie. The Kens --- the male characters of Barbieland --- are oppressed, excluded, neglected and discriminated in Barbieland's matriarchal system, and this --- due to series of events --- caused the overhauling of the system into patriarchy, which of course didn't go well, nobody or group wants or loves to be excluded, neglected, discriminated and oppressed. But I'm glad that at the end of the movie, rather than sticking to matriarchy all in the name of female empowerment, the citizens of Barbieland recognized the errors of their ways and chose to create a system where the male and female characters are given equal opportunities. Yes, the equality in the Barbieland isn't perfect, but it's a start. I hope that as the Barbie franchise progresses, the voice, privilege and power given to the male characters of Barbieland will improve and grow exponentially, just as that of women in the real world has been. Aside that, its feminism theme is amazing. Unlike contemporary feminism centric films that tend to promote villification of men, promiscuity, matriarchy, suppressing men in other to empower women, this movie passed the message that a matriarchy society is as worse as a patriarchy society, and that the system that should be instituted is the humantriarchy, a system where everyone irrespective of their gender is included and granted power, privileges and voice. Truth is, that's what feminism truly is. That was the vision of its founders like Elizabeth Stanton, unlike the abomination we have today in the name of feminism. I also love the fact that the feminism theme in this movie also promoted the idea of a woman being free to be a mother and a house wife if that's her desire, unlike the radical feminism of the 21st century and lots of feminism centric films out there that opposes, condemns and ridicule such. But despite its intriguing existential, satirical and femininism themes, the movie has its own problem... problems regarding certain plot elements like; * A dude running up to Barbie and spanking her butt in the open. Who does that in the Western world? * Barbie being arrested for punching the guy that sexually molested her. Seriously? I guess anything to villify the "patriarchal society" is allowed. * Mattel senior executives all being male. How is that even possible. We are talking about a company that produces toys especially female toys. Once again, anything to villify the "patriarchal" society is welcome. * Mattel CEO and senior executives all being portrayed as clowns and juvenilistic, especially during the chase scene. * Barbie appearing in a beach suit in an advert that involves young girls. What was the message? Wait, let me guess, uhmmmm, being tall, slim, and dressing raunchily is the perfect definition of beauty and female empowerment. Wow! That's impressive. So much for feminism. In conclusion, the movie is a watchable movie with an intriguing feminism, satirical and existential theme. In addition, Barbie is a good start of, for and to a Barbie franchise, and probably a Mattel Film Universe. My Rating: 6.5/ 10 #Xavier 4 Likes

Xavier5: Lol, I don't know how true the info is but I won't be surprised if it's spinned somehow by the media reporting these actors and writers strike to make studios look like evil villains. The Studios are greedy but some of the demands from the unions are not really realistic. |

abduleez1: Exactly my thoughts. What are the odds that a studio that has been plagued by controversies in the past, that is trying to be free from its baggages of past controversies, that is seeking to be profitable in other to avoid been sold out, broken or merged, and that exist in a woke society will make such statement at a meeting where such statement can, will or might go public? What are the fvcking odds? But I won't be surprised if WBD actually said that. Mega corporations do have a knack at being dickheads at times, especially that Warner Company. The Studios are greedy but some of the demands from the unions are not really realistic. Facts. Truth is, all employees love unions, and all entrepreneurs and top executives hate unions. The problem is the problem of greed, selfishness and insensitivity from both side of the spectrum. #Xavier |
