"Note to the filmmakers; Margot Robbie is the wrong person to cast if you wanna make this point" the whole theater busted out laughing
Ah yes so they accept that some people are ugly😂....dumb feminists pulled an uno reverse on themselves 😂
What gave me real chills after 7th watch is the scene where the girl next to Sasha says “I hated dolls with hair” Could it mean that she or someone close to her was really sick? 😢
@@marjanek1i actually thought of all the girls, me included, that hate their own hair structure,so i read it at „i hated dolls with hair because they never had hair like me“
@@elsie1998 Thanks that makes more sense! :)
@@marjanek1 some dolls don't have brushable hair and have sculpted hair instead
Barbie's final line is a revolutionary line for a film this huge. Yay for Women's health! Yay for removing stigma from words like vagina, gynecologist, and more! ♀️
As a high risk ob/gyn sonographer it drives me insane how people talk about women's bodies. My daughter came home and said her 'front butt' one day and I asked who said that, she said it was her teacher. I told her she says vagina from now on, she is never to speak like that, and I sent her teacher an email that we do not use baby language for human anatomy. I was so pissed.
@@17thknight fro-.... front butt 😭😭. Can already imagine the teacher calling boobs Chest Cheeks or Chest Butts 😭
There is stigma from words like vagina, gynecologist? Never heard that.
@@RoRZoro Oh honey you would be surprised by how many teenagers and even grown adults who are too embarrassed to talk about periods, vaginas, or getting your vajayjay checked out by a doctor. Some guys dont even want to talk about getting your prostate checked because getting a finger in your butt is too gay for some people. These kinds of topics are still considered taboo in some places and cultures.
@@bluebaconjake405 I'm from India and yes, words like Vagina are not that openely accepted, but it's very common among women. But there is absolutely no taboo about gynecologist. Eveyone says that without any problem.
Meanwhile talking about male parts are considerd as extreme taboo than female parts and problems.
“I’m just Ken! Anywhere else, I’d be a ten!”- brilliant lyrics. Ryan Gosling is AMAZING
My favorite I "I'm just Ken and I'm enough and I'm great at doing stuff"
@@aditisk99 Same
"My names Ken" "and so am I!" Is my absolute favorite. It WOULD have been grammatically correct if they stuck with "I'm just Ken" like they have been this entire time, but beach changed it once and no one else caught the change, and sounded so proud not realizing that it makes no sense, it's so good
Better than I could have ever expected a Barbie movie to be.
I’m guessing you’ve never watched the animated Barbie movies?
@@BelBelle468that's Barbie the actress, this is Barbie the doll
Given Greta Gerwig's run with Lady Bird and Little Women, I'm not surprised that Barbie turned out to be this good and a success.
Ryan Gosling's performance as Ken was easily the highlight of the movies for me. His comedic timing and vulnerability is so damn great.
I remember people questioning him being cast for the role, but I knew he’d be great. I just didn’t think he would steal the whole damn show the way he did! It was a brilliant comedic performance.
I love how stiff some of the movement and dialogue is, and how silly some of the action sequences are (especially the barbie car flip and Ken flipping through the air after trying to surf). It actually does feel like little kids playing with them and I think that's a really fun detail.
People throw around the word feminism so much as a negative and in this case to explain the focus on women in this movie, but the whole point of actual real feminism is equality for all. A focus has always been on women because that is where the attention was and is most needed, but as shown in this movie it's not just realising the expectation on women and the struggles we have to go through, but also the expectations put on men and how they don't need to live up to societal (patriarical) expectation and just be Ken and kenough.
Sometimes you just gotta remember that you are Kenough
I love they brought Ruth in. Ruth created Barbie, and now Barbie is making sure that Ruth is remembered!
Just some Trivia.
1: Barbie doll was copied from a German fashion doll called Bild Lilli. But Matel in this movie claims as if they invented fashion doll and before that everyone only played with baby dolls.
2: Lilli was created by a woman called Reinhard Beuthien. But Ruth Handler, who is like a god in the movie copied Beuthien's work.
3: The creation of barbie doll by Mattel led to bankruptcy of the company that created Bild Lilli dolls. Also, there were a lot of attempts by mattel to tarnish the image of charecter Lilli by projecting her as a prostitute.
4: After the company went south, Mattel acquired the rights to Bild Lilli in 1964.
@@RoRZorowow, reminds me of Oreo and hydrox. Did Ruth start Mattel or did they work together?
@@aispryn Ruth is one of the founders of Mattel along with her husband Elliot Handler and another man called Harold Matson. The name Mattel came from Mat from Matson and El from Elliot.
@@RoRZoro Ohh thank you!
@@RoRZoro I rlly don't care lol, bc Barbie has still made such an important and amazing impact that this Lilli doll would never have universally.
Ryan Gosling absolutely kills it as Ken, the highlight of this film. Hilarious with the perfectamountof "Kenergy" And "I'm just Ken" is seriously one of the best song of this year.
I won't even lie "I'm Just Ken" has been living in my head rent free since I saw the movie 2 months ago. Also look for the cover of "Push" that he did for the soundtrack, I promise you it's hilarious.
Even with all the overwhelming praise it got opening weekend I had no idea what to expect going in to see Barbie. And yet I haven’t laughed at a comedy this hard that wasn’t a Jackass movie in almost a decade!! There were moments I couldn’t breathe because I was laughing so hard.
If this movie is not nominated for a ton of Oscars at the upcoming Academy Awards it proves they truly don’t like comedies.
Also I want to see a duet of I’m Just Ken and Peaches from The Super Mario Bros movie at the Oscars!
I think the start of that group was actually lost in the woods(the song)
The fact that they took a doll and made a humanist movie out of it is brilliant
Has anyone mentioned how Sasha and the 3 other girls at the cafeteria lunch table were named and modeled after the Bratz dolls? I feel like it needs to be mentioned in every Barbie 2023 movie reaction because it’s such a fun detail to include the Bratz dolls in a movie about Barbie dolls.
Omg I never picked up on that and I played with Bratz dolls growing up over Barbie dolls 😂
This film is brilliant. and damn Margot Robbie can act.
brilliant? no... SUBLIME!
You might've noticed Ariana Greenblatt from a few days ago playing young Ahsoka in Episode 5. She also played young Gamora in Infinity War.
ohh.. that's her! I feel freaking old :/
The bad guy from secret invasion was in this movie too.
I've seen "Barbie," and loved every minute of it. All the actors were great. Ryan Gosling especially - he deserves to win an Oscar for his performance!
You on something?
It really was great. I honestly loved this movie. I laughed a bunch and was surprisingly emotional by the end
@@legendswarble2845 but oscar?? 😐
@utsavbhattacharya281 Well, he did do an intentionally camp performance that was actually good. That is very difficult to do. Honestly, I don't think we respect the acting skills required to pull off a comedy enough. Almost all the acting awards go to people who ugly cry or scream in their films. A lot of good comedies and horror films get overlooked for not being "real cinema." I think this film deserves several nominations, and for sure, a costuming and production design win
@@utsavbhattacharya281this movie deserves an oscar, now i said it ❤
Fun fact, the girls at the lunch table are named after the Bratz, which is why they hate Barbie so much.
I remember when Bratz Boyz came out as well lol
The surreality of the film was the perfect vessel for the story, it was just ridiculous enough to match the idea of a Barbie doll coming to life and experiencing existential angst
This movie is so deep. And I'm so happy it became the phenomenon that is today 🙌
This is not a movie for children. It's a movie for all the girls -- now women moms and grandmoms -- who played with Barbie over the decades. The doll was invented in 1959. I was born not long after that, one of the first generations to play with these dolls. This movie's themes were geared towards us the girls who came after and what we've had to deal with and what we're dealing with now.
The key thing I took away from Barbie was that the point of Toys or dolls like Barbie is teaching you to grow.
The movie at its core is about growth as a person and finding your place in the world.
Every once in a while there comes a perfect movie. This is one of them.
It's ironic how people criticise Barbie for having unrealistic body expectations (though as Jonathan from Mended Light pointed out, no one criticises He-Man for having unrealistic body expectations for men) when it turns out in the 70s, as well as being investigated by the IRS, Ruth Handler started a new company with someone called Peyton called RuthonCorp where they designed and manufactured realistic, comfortable and durable breast prosthetics known as 'Nearly Me'.
wonder if it was geared at all towards trans women, drag performers, breast cancer survivors etc not just cis women who wanted larger breasts?
@@mischr13 It was for women who'd undergone a mastectomy for breast cancer. Ruth Handler herself had undergone a mastectomy for breast cancer, that's how she found out about the limitations for prosthetics. They mention her mastectomy in the movie. She ended up dying of colon cancer (specifically complications of surgery).
Mattel for a while, it turns out, also had a practice of working with a cancer hospital or research company and would send 'Brave Barbie' to families who had a family member undergoing treatment for cancer. Brave Barbie was thin, her clothes hung, she was bald and had two wigs. But she had 'brave' and 'beautiful' on written on her shirt.
I think the difference between He-Man and Barbie is that men want women to look like barbie, but women don't want men to look like He-Man.
@@kmjkmjkmjHe-Man had muscles that were totally not anatomically correct.
@@theshadowfax239 And Barbie also has proportions that are biologically impossible and anatomically incorrect (unless extreme surgery and removing your ribs). So what? They're both dolls and fictional characters, majority of women and children don't feel insecure about Barbie lmaoo. All my body image issues came from real life people and social media, not Barbie.
I'm Just Ken, Pink, and Dance the Night Away are on my repeats of songs on spotify. This movie had fire music let alone a fire story. Loved it!!!
I hear Dance The Night Away every time I go to the gym 😂
Her travel to the real world makes me think of buddy’s journey in elf to go see his dad. Also, growing up in the 90s I had a Barbie with that rollerblading outfit
my cousin's barbie had that rollerblading outfit XD
This film had no obligation to be this good. They could have just put something out there, get a big weekend or two, and turn a profit. But they really knocked it out of the park.
I never would have thought that between the attempts for G.I. Joe, He-Man, and Transformers films over the years, representing MY childhood, it would be the Barbie film which really stood out to me as something special.
What I Wanted: "Be better than G.I. Joe and Transformers"
What I Got: "This is one of my favorites of 2023!"
I knew from the 2001 teaser that this film was going to exceed expectations... and I was not wrong. I absolutely love it. but also Ryan Gosling being an incredible choice along side Margot.
This was everything I'd never expect from a Barbie Movie. being a "boy" and wanting to play with dolls I identify with Ken, being Trans and wanting real parts I identify with Barbie. It was too good that some people were taken off guard and got defensive but it feels like the hate hype has mostly dissipated.
As a trans masc nb, I really identified with Alan. He was an outsider in a world of Kens and Barbies. He hangs with the guys and girls without being one of them and is crushed by patriarchy like the Barbies if in a different way
@@legendswarble2845 love this so much 🥲
Allan and Midge are both huge deep cuts about the Barbie toy line. He was introduced as a friend to Ken in the 60s and disappeared after just a couple of years. Midge was indeed pregnant and she was married to Allan when he was brought back in the 90s
Midge was originally introduced in 1963 as Barbie's first best friend, not married and pregnant. I had one. 😊 I wish they had brought original Midge back.
Ryan definitely deserves best supporting actor.
People will be shocked if he wins lol
@@peachhazel7865 I'm already shocked he was nominated!
apparently there was a shortage of that shade of pink paint because of the production design in this movie. simply iconic! 🤩
This movie is so culturally important especially now when women’s rights are under attack. The point so beautifully illustrated in this movie is that the patriarchy does a disservice to men and women. Every second of this movie is intentional while being accessible and visually stunning. Greta is a genius and Margot is a gift.
I suuuuupper loved this movie, this movie filled up my depression with pink and happiness, im so glad i watch it on theaters and everyone is on pink and dress like barbie, im so happy 😊❤
Ryan Gosling was the best part of this movie.
The "in your face" messages were a bit eye-rolling, but the movie was a piece of art.
That said... a ton of people *still* didn't understand the messages. Somehow. It's crazy and makes no sense how they could miss it... but they do.
No green screen. All practical sets and the backdrops with the sky was painted.
Ryan Gosling is absolutely Kenning as Ken. he’s Kenning all over the place. he’s Kenning all over everyone. he’s Kenning everywhere and he’s Kenning So hard that he’s gonna Ken himself blind if he doesn’t stop Kenning.
I understand this reference 😂
Anyone else still waiting for Achara to say "Hi Ken" back to Andrew?
I found Ken to be the funniest character. Ryan Gosling really lived up to his comedic reputation! Can't wait for the sequel where he'll probably play Weird Ken.
Love that you 2 are watching this. Glad y’all waited cuz I’m so excited to see y’all reaction to this. Especially Achara ❤❤❤❤
I knew this movie would be successful but I didn’t expect it to beat Mario
The title intro is literally set up to say “bye baby! hi Barbie!” without words 😂 brilliant
Huh? Where?
@@DoubleBlack2.0 girls throwing the baby’s into the air because they’re saying goodbye to baby’s being their only dolls, and baby doll is blocked out by the intro of the Barbie title over top. So one could say it’s saying “bye baby,” followed with the title intro and as we all know the saying “hi Barbie!”
9:26 The most unrealistic part of the Barbie movie is the roller skating part. It’s L.A. the place is full of people dress like that or even weirder. 😂
Fun fact the daughter and her school friends are all named after the Bratz Dolls
I was a boy child, so I only had one Barbie and that was an ongoing battle!!!
OMG, you reminded me of my plots when I played with Barbies. It was also such a soap opera. The amount of backstabbing and sexy times that my Barbies had. Uff...
I feel so innocent, lol. I definitely didn't know what sex was, so that didn't make an appearance in my Barbie plots. It started with Barbie and Ken being married, but then Teresa moved in with them and Barbie and Teresa fell in love and had a child (Kelly) together, don't ask how xD, but Ken was totally okay with that and continued living with them. Also they all ran a ranch together, so 90% of the drama was stuff like horses getting injured or a foal getting born...😂 I think I had like twice as many Barbie horses as I had actual Barbie dolls...
Barbie is WBs biggest box office money maker so far…The Batman 2 will probably break that tho
The idea of having more than one "adult" doll of this style, when I acquired one in the mid/late 1960s, would have blown my mind. I had a single "Sindy" [1963, Pedigree UK before it was bought by Hasbro], the cheaper alternative, and no accessories were available unless I made them. And I was a privileged child where I grew up...
Being a Potterhead; when Ken shouts "Ken is me!!" going down the slide, it reminds me of Dobby squeeking "Dobby is free!!" at the end of COS. Their voices filled with wonder and joy!
Beautiful.
"Barbie has given Ken a sock!" 😂
What matters is how many accessories you had for Barbie 😄 Love Barbie Everything 💕
Didn't even have a Barbie. Had a Skipper, though, but prefered playing with cars, LEGO and my brothers Meccano. 🤷🏼♀️
@@flugsven I definitely had a mix growing up. Everything from Playing with mud outside, WWF wrestling with my brothers, PlayStation and my Barbies 😄
@@janel1386 Funny enough my kids got a (cheap) doll house with Barbie and Ken copies, and they loved playing with it! They never played with cars.. We shared our love for LEGO though!
Yup, we need the mix!
"I made Andrew dress appropriately, and we have some toys" - never have I checked what video I'm watching so fast
It's ironic that people will say "keep politics out of my video games" and "keep politics out of my toys".. they're probably the same people tbh. But it's silly to think not everything around us is political..
agreed! it cracks me up 😂
They don't understand what politics are. They think "politics" means "opinions I disagree with". If the video games and toys espoused their own personal politics, they'd be fine with it.
Sublime!
This movie makes me so happy lol
Oh my goodness. My Barbie story lines were soap opera stories too, lol. Only, I pretty much took them directly from Days of our Lives 😂
Achara I love your reaction and so much better with Andrew than with the other
Love the last line in the movie. Just another perk of being a woman 🙈
Poor Barbie about to menstruate at some point. Mattel help her :,(
I know you guys already have a lot of things to react to. But please consider the Korean drama "Moving" as well. In Thailand, the new episode of this show airs on the same day as Ahsoka, so Wednesday has become my favorite day of the week for now. Highly recommended.
Loved this movie.. love from India 💗💗💗
32:26
Yo Flash, did you just say - Margot "Robbery"? 😂😂
Justice for Midge!
I really enjoyed your reactions to this great movie. Helen Mirin was the narrator.
i feel like Simu Liu is overlooked in this movie
You don’t have to pay bail for a shoplifting ticket and certainly not for self defense. They’d charge you with shoplifting, and release you with a court date. Not that I’ve shoplifted, but I got kids, brothers, etc. anyway, point is you would absolutely be released with a court date and without paying anything until after your court date if arrested for the things they were arrested for. In fact, depending on the state/county, they might just write you a ticket with a court date and wouldn’t even take you to jail for shoplifting, similar to a traffic ticket but for criminal court where you have to show up for court and plead guilty/not guilty, after which either a fine would be set or a court hearing depending on your plea, you couldn’t just plead guilty through paying the fine and forgo court. But, point is, they’d either never take you to jail in the first place or release you immediately afterwards if arrested for a first time shoplifting charge. The first time assault charge as well, and hopefully with an apology since she was sexually assaulted first and they arrested the wrong person.
18:26
Fun fact:
John Cena wasn't supposed to be featured in Barbie, he just happened to be filming Fast X accross the street from where Margot was filming Barbie 😂
Really looking forward to some Oppenheimer reactions when it finally comes out on streaming.
You two REALLY GET the movie 😊😊❤
Whole story or adventure was mirroring the girl turning into adulthood in real life. And therefore, in many non-english speaking countries meanings just flies overhead and does not translated easily.
For me the whole idea of "why do this with Barbie, it's a kid's toy."
Okay, and there are plenty of other Barbie movies for that, this movie is made for other reasons.
I think all the Mattel employees are escaped Allans!
It was not what I expected, in the best way possible.
Hi Barbies!!!
Hello Kens!!!
Hi Allan! 😂🧡
That turtle gif is looking more and more accurate
I'm hoping for Barbie 2
I love intelligent people
All real Barbie players sets and wardrobe. And,yes, discontinued Barbies.
Not a bad film. I like the humor. Weird Barbie was my favorite.
Best Barbie movie ever
Wait... Achara is a big Barbie fan, but instead of going to the theatre and watch it with the crowd, she waited to watch it here?
Can we, really, say Achara is a big Barbie fan?
Didn't expect to watch the Barbie movie and learn to love the uncomfortable and sucky bits in life because they're all just part of being alive.
(However, could do without Will Ferrell in this)
The main point of the movie is that dotted line in the ocean east of China on the World Map in Weird Barbie's house. See it? At 7:11 On real maps it's called, "The Nine-Dash Line" and it declares that the South China Sea is the property of China, not Viet Nam. The Barbie story is merely a distraction. Who owns the South China Sea? The U.N. says Viet Nam. China says China. Each of us must decide for ourselves!
They got out of jail without money because its California i mean just ask san Francisco how they are doing with crime right now
I think an Oscar snub is incoming for many categories that aren't visually based.
I had the release of the Barbie movie in the cinema and I enjoyed it very much and I liked it. There are also people who say that they didn't like the movie because it promotes hatred towards men 😢
What do you think about this?
I hope to know your opinion because it worries me a lot because he hated men so much.
I don't think it's a hateful movie it's just a confused mess. It feels like it's trying to poke fun at everyone while not trying to piss anyone off. And it'll preach all of these messages then just backtrack on them.
I don’t think it promotes hatred towards men, but rather points out lots of problems women have to deal with under the patriarchy and humanizes both men and women.
Barbie Land is a direct parody of the real world; it is the reverse where women are in power and men are only valued for how they treat women.
Though this aspect was a way of helping men understand how women feel in the real world by placing them in women’s shoes, I think a lot of people overlooked it and saw it as the movie promoting a matriarchy instead.
They would sympathize with and relate to Ken but not connect the dots that it’s how women feel all the time and that it was intended as a moment for them to understand rather than think women are trying to put them down.
Simultaneously, by directly placing Ken’s in the same boat as women in the real world, the movie is not vilifying men but in fact showing that both men and women are human. The roles could have been reversed; men are not inherently domineering or power-hungry.
Sorry for that spiel lol I hope that perspective helped!
@@zachsutton6195 backtrack? How so?
And it’s funny you mention “not wanting to piss anyone off” when so many men got offended anyway. It’s either they’re hyper sensitive and insecure babies and it’s a miracle they’re still surviving (but I guess their family and patriarchy coddles them so they survive, proving the power of influence, patriarchy, and wives/mothers protecting men)…or it wasn’t pulling punches at all. Some ppl felt it was the perfect amount of sass and criticism, and were amazed Mattel let them do it. But some friends also said it pandered too much to men as well.
Either way, even if you’re pulling punches or not, in what way does it backtrack? Unless you’re claiming this cus you came away with the wrong message and therefore they did “backtrack” on a message they never intended to make.
@@BelBelle468 idk to me the message just doesn't work when they just straight up say "if you want this message to work don't cast Margot Robbie" or they refuse to have Ken's help run Barbieland and they just say "eh maybe some day". I totally appreciate what they were going for but it was either too heavy handed or just didn't make much sense to me
@@zachsutton6195😂😂😂😂 its not at all confusing .. it is very clear what the movie want to say .
20 barbies!? and you havent seen it yet?
I just checked Amazon and it’s $25 just to rent!!!! Wtf!!!!
Blew my mind too, I figure it’s because it’s still in cinemas? Idk 🤷
@@marjanek1 yeah but not even to own it at that price is baffling to me, the audacity lol
It was cute. I understand the polical side and all the backlash but in the end all that aside it was still really cute. 👏👏👏
Funny 😅
First time watch...? How is that even possible
Sorry to tell you this but if you don’t get the 2001 reference in the beginning, there’s a bunch of other stuff you’re going to miss.
So, Ahsoka save Barbieland? Seems correct to me.
20???!!!
Lego is my toy.
Its a shame you did not show the funny scene of Mattel chasing Barbie inbetwen the offices
Because it's childish and very much considered the worst directed scene of the movie by most.
@@Atlas_Redux l thought it was funny
19:36 Funny how when the Kens take over you yap about a happy medium.
Well, yeah. A happy medium requires two extremes for comparison -- the medium is the point in between those extremes. Before the Kens took over, there was only one extreme, so there was no medium point to talk about.
@@IceMetalPunk There is no happy medium with feminism, just like there's no happy medium with the Klan, or Nazis, or The Nation of Islam. Here's what this movie reminds me of.
m.czcams.com/video/ebtiJH3EOHo/video.html&pp=ygUWMTkxNSBiaXJ0aCBvZiBhIG5hdGlvbg%3D%3D
sorry i'm a little suss of movie reviews where you don't recognize classic references like 2001 lol still, nice review :)
just gonna say, Andrew is so hot.
I kinda feel bad for ken
Watch 2001.
28:47 So the Ken's get to run everything anyway.
Want Oppenheimer Reaction
