I was absolutely shook when I heard this in the theater. In 2.5 minutes, it totally summarizes and eviscerates the bizzaro-world standards women are held to. If America Ferrara does nothing else, she will be deservedly remembered for delivering this speech. Bravo, Greta Gerwig.
It's all humans... not women. We seem to be still locked into this celebration of victimhood. It's a VERY American sentiment that sadly so many other Western countries have latched on to: "woe is me". "Poor me" "I'm a victim". We really need to embrace stoicism which is the EXACT opposite of victimhood.
It's the perpetual victim speech. And women hold each other to, or are responsible for, most of it. Take some responsibility. Look: both men and women deal with stuff like this daily. So we're not enemies, we're made to complement each other. It's about recognizing our weaknesses more than our strengths and leaning into each for help.
I understand that, but do the Barbie's understand the weight of her words? The only reason why Barbie was feeling such existential dread is because of Gloria's connection.
It is a character with no original thought except for the script that was written off. In simple terms she is just yapping.
The comments to your reply pretty much sum up why it's impossible to be a woman: 1. Immediately dismisses women to recenter men, 2. Blames women for being victims, 3. Points out that it's just a script so it's not "real." It's honestly just...so perfect. Thank you, random CZcams dudes, for so perfectly, *perfectly* underscoring the truth of this speech without even realizing you are. Seriously, just bravo.
The best decision they made with this scene was leaving out the background music. All of the power of the moment went to America, no one and nothing else
YES. THIS
Absolutely ❤
The best decision would be not having this cringe speech at all lol
@@joshuawidener8407 oh, honey. Why don’t you just crawl on back into your little man cave and let the grown ups sort this one out. 😊
@@joshuawidener8407It’s literally not cringe tf?
It was astonishing how in the theatre you could literally feel all women being moved and feeling themselves so represented, it was a special moment.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Underrated comment.
I watched it at a drive in and you could still feel it.... and all women started cheering at the end of the speech. It was cool.
Playin victim
Lmfao
The pure fact that so many woman were moved to tears by the raw truth of this speech, tells us just how much it needed to be said.
@@elliotnono2069 alright pack it up grandma
Everything America Ferrera said, MEN also have to deal with. It's not a issue that only women face. And people, including her, are making it seem so. It's sexist, and it's disgusting.
@androow1983 It's not sexist that she spoke on true experiences that women have though? If anything, she was speaking on her own experiences as well. She's not attacking or excluding men by speaking on female experiences, the speech doesn't invalidate or dismiss their issues simply by not talking about them. What are you on about
@androow1983 It's upsetting & very true that men have their share of struggles as well as women do. But she wasn't wrong. & the Barbie movie didn't put down men either, so that's a some excessive fire being put on a woman just doing her job.
@@joxiejoxie6457 It's very indicative as of it being a female experience, and not a male experience, and a lot of people believe that too
I watched Barbie in theater in my German hometown. During the speech, you could hear a pin drop and when it was over, some girls behind me started applauding. Most of the audience joined in, including me and my sisters. Barely ever did I feel such a strong sense of sisterhood and understanding with a bunch of girls and women I didn't even know. Whatever people say about the Barbie movie, I can only thank Greta for speaking so strongly for women in western societies and giving me and so many other girls the feeling of sisterhood and of being understood.
btw, sorry for my English. as I said, I'm German.
Writing an eloquent comment in perfect English and then pointing out your „poor English“ because you‘re German…that‘s so German. 😅
@@floraskott 😂 thanks though😊
Yet, you women are the ones - who created those standards. You wanna outshine eachother, and want the same men. You seek the same attention, and the same gains. If you spend time with your father, you would never have been in such a dark place. This is why fathers matter. Not feminism.
Amazing English, don't doubt yourself!😊
@@PeelyMan929 ☺☺ thanks
This was not acting.. this was real!!
This was whining.
@@bbeckerccsdSo now it's your turn!
@@rlgnoles1 I gave one sentence. If I was truly whining I would give a long winded rant, just like this character.
@@bbeckerccsd dumb comment. This is the truth. You are in denial
❤❤❤ very true
I cried and cheered when she was done after I heard her speech, I am so disappointed that the writers for this movie didn’t get the Oscar for this movie this speech alone was worth getting the award because it really speaks volumes about us women and it makes me so proud to be a woman. Barbie made even me a plus size woman feel beautiful and better about myself.
It was a cringe speech with no basis in reality lol
They had already won our hearts.
@@joshuawidener8407
Spoken by a dude. 🙄
@@nancydrew5 spoken by someone who doesn't act like a victim.
@@nancydrew5 do you honestly think this is some kind of argument?
The biggest twist of my life was discovering that the generic mother who appears in the Barbie movie is Astrid's voice actress in How to Train Your Dragon.
Superstore series sisterhood films etc
The day I learned this I haven’t been able to unhear Astrid talking.
I only watched the Barbie movie because of that .
Generic mother?
If that's your takeaway, you missed the point by an entire solar system.
when i watched this in theaters for the first time i sobbed so much. i have felt this way my whole life and never heard it ever put into words so eloquently that i lost it. thank you margot robbie, america ferrera, and greta gerwig for healing girls and women all over the world.
Convincing people that they are victims isn’t healing…
Exactly....but the solutions are hard, so being a victim is much easier/more common.
Everything America Ferrera said, MEN also have to deal with. It's not a issue that only women face. And people, including her, are making it seem so. It's sexist, and it's disgusting.
All these replies are proving her point.

So funny omg ( im kidding you'r cringe ) 😊😊😊😊😊@@H.K.5
Would have won a cringe Oscar if that was a category
I saw this film with my mum in the theatres. And when we came to this speech. I looked over to my mum & she was crying. I will never forget that.
Barbie impacted me more than I thought it would. I remember watching that BTS shot of Barbie being assaulted in the L.A boardwalk and punching the guy and thinking "Great, another cashgrab of a movie." And then the trailer came out for it, and I saw all the hype and thought "Okay, this will be fun!" So me and my boyfriend dressed up as barbie and ken for the premiere. I remember how people came together wearing blonde wigs and pink dresses. I remember someone yelling "Come on barbie, lets go party!" In the crowd and all of us laughing. I remember the cheering of the crowd during the title card. I really wasnt expecting to have as much fun as I did, but I did.
And then I took my sister to see it. I was fresh out of therapy, and struggling with my purpose. I can remember crying like a baby during the "What was I made for?" Scene, laughing with her during "Im Just Ken", and talking about the movie on our way home on the bus.
The other day I was in the throws of insecurity, and thinking "Nobody looks like me. I feel so alone and unlikable." And immediately, without warning, my mind thinks back to this scene. This monologue is so important to me, and every single woman. Someone remade it in the comments from a mans perspective. And im sorry, but you dont get it. You never will, the system isnt rigged against you like it is us. (This isnt an excuse to be transphobic, trans women are women.) And in the points it is rigged against you, thats still the same patriarchy we're fighting against! Why do you think you cant show your emotions? Why do you think mens suicide rates are so high? Because of toxic masculinity.
And yet you still are unable to explain WHAT this patriarchy actually is. Facts please.
@@pigskinsgettingskinned-vr5ow I'm not explaining anything to someone who just wants to argue. If you want to have a genuine conversation, please educate yourself before you type back.
FLOP
@@pigskinsgettingskinned-vr5owpatriarchy is feminist dogma, like when evangelicals blame satan or the devil. It’s a way to externalize the locus of blame off of yourself and the people around to some concept or idea or an ideological principle you can hate without consequence.
Only a modern "feminist" would think male suicide rates are so high because of toxic masculinity in a country with news channels 24/7 pumping out MAN BAD/ WOMAN GOOD garbage.
When America finished this speech, everyone in my theater was applauding.
And, I cried!!
Only manginas, for sure.
Why?? 😂
@@candles6103because it was powerful and an amazing scene
I smiled and in tears at the same time
I am a woman and I agree to this 100%. I also have nephews and when I look at them I notice how it can be impossible to be a man too. They have to love their kids but not too much or they’ll be seen as a mom. They have to be strong, but not too strong or they’ll be seen as jerks or if they are not strong enough they are not real men. They have to like sports and nothing romantic. They have to work hard to support their family but not too hard or it will seem like they don’t love their family or if they work too hard they’ll be seen as absent fathers. They have to treat their daughters and sons differently and if they are not the stereotypical son and daughter, people will think there is something wrong. They have to want to do housework but at the same time not like it or they’ll be seen as being whipped. They are not allowed to cry or have feelings or they’ll be made fun of.
My nephews are sweet and kind. They cry and one of them plays with dolls. I worry how the world will see them, but at the same time, I’m proud of them. I acknowledge how hard it is to be a woman, because I am a woman and it is so damn hard. But I realize that it can be hard to be a man too. The social goals society puts on women and men, it’s just so sad and like America says, I am so tired of it.
🥺Thank you for acknowledging this.
Thank you for this.

Thank you for putting this in writing. What you say about becoming a man is soo true. Confusing, relentlessly pessimistic, the standards are ridiculous. Soo much pressure to "be a certain way" for group, family, or societal acceptance. And we wonder why so many young people have chosen "trouble" in their lives. It's genuinely an infection of craziness in our society.
Thank you for writing this. Wish your comment was at the top!
i think they did a great job casting America for this part.
especially for us girls who grew up knowing her as ‘Ugly Betty’, it truly captures the way the world is run at the expense of women and how they SHOULD represent themselves or else they’ll be unworthy.
who knew a movie about a doll could have such an impactful statement that a lot of people looked over.
I love the “Ugly Betty” series! It was such a delight seeing America in this movie, I could honestly picture Betty herself (the character I mean) giving this monologue
@@infjgirl3850100% would be a speech for daniel
@@infjgirl3850yeah so did I
The world is run at the expense of women? Oh dear God let me guess, you're American, right? You have to be. Only an American woman would consider a bland monologue like this "high art" to the point you really come online to say the world is run at the expense of women.
Everything America Ferrera said, MEN also have to deal with. It's not a issue that only women face. And people, including her, are making it seem so. It's sexist, and it's disgusting.
I didn't see this movie in the theater when it came out, so I'll never have the true experience of hearing America's speech on the big screen. Regardless, the first time I saw this movie, I was nearly moved to tears when I got to this scene, even as a man. This is the kind of thing that you gotta have some real chutzpah to put in a movie, and both Greta Gerwig and America Ferrera certainly had a lot of it.
It's not a good experience, it was the worst party of the movie.
Thank you for sharing your opinion on this.
Anime girl profile picture, crying at the barbie movie and calling yourself a man. A bold move, indeed.
Honestly seeing it in theatres for the first time was so moving🥹 Regardless of where you got to see it first though, I think everyone can agree the scene is👌❤
@@emmapatterson9797 I would have most likely had the same reaction if I had seen it on the big screen. It's that powerful, and it gives you goosebumps however you experience it
You have to say you want to be healthy- That line spoke to me.
I only see other women finding it problematic to say you want to be thinner
Me and my mum watched this. The cheers and tears.
You and your mum need to grow up because this movie sucked and this was probably the worst scene in it.
@@H.K.5 Literally no one cares what you think.
As a woman, I often come here to watch this as a reminder to myself that I'm not the only one feeling that it's difficult to still stay strong when people intentionally put you down over and over 😊
I remember my entire cinema applauded her after this speech, it was such a memorable moment!
And then Obama clapped.
Sooo true!!

As a 50 year old white dude, I was gobsmacked as I watched this. In the moment, it was apparent what was happening and what the message was: she was the every-woman. I appreciated the way Greta presented the content throughout the movie. I.e. it was clear & concise but not out of proportion or too “in your face.” Applause to the writers, and major props to America for delivering such a poignant monologue.
lol.... oh my...
lol...thank God they were not too “ in your face! “
It couldn't have been more in our face if it tried.
Sounds like an angry 13-year-old's Twitter rant.
@@gertanckaert3023 I think what he's trying to say is that it wasn't over-acted, over-written or over-directed. This movie could have very easily tipped into being full-blown camp or (even worse) an awful case of tonal whiplash, but Gerwig and the writers did so well with it and Ferrera and especially Robbie delivered their lines with such perfect balance between humor and gravity that their points could land home. Too dramatic a performance or dialogue ("in your face-ness") can spoil a movie and cause the audience to disregard the message. This movie was balanced on a knife's-edge with writing, directing and acting, and they absolutely nailed it.

This is the first time I hear every woman's thoughts and fears put into words to sum it up perfectly! ❤
All women do is whine and complain so this make sense I guess.
these are the expectations women put on themselves, literally when it comes to men we just want a semi attractive girl (not the prettiest cuz thats not realistic) but women? Oh they gotta have not only a good looking man but hes gotta have money, be tall, etc
As a woman, I can guarantee that all those problems she just listed would disappear if you simply… stop caring. Just…. Live
Some people need to be a victim, even if it means victimizing themselves.
This brought a tear to my eye in theatres. I think it's because it's the validation and acknowledgement every women deserves but rarely gets.
When I watched this in theaters with my best friend I did cry. I saw in this speech all the women in my life who I've watched struggle with these very same issues. It was nice to see this acknowledgement of the insane unspoken rules society has on women. America Ferrera did such an amazing job and this speech will live on forever.

@@MrDaruis”Rocky” was nominated for “Best Original Screenplay” but lost to “Network”.
@@Johnny24-dl3ig this "feminist garbage" is just women trying to lighten things up to make more sense as opposed to men keeping it hard of purpose just to have more opportunities to show us you're tough. Go play ball or hit a punching bag to blow off steam, but don't expect everyone to "like it rough" just because you do.
3ig I'm a woman and I totally agree with you!
What I hear in this speech is that for whatever reason, it’s all or nothing with women. Yet the most content people I know are those who stand firmly in the middle, having learned what works for them and paying no attention to whether anyone is looking at or judging them, including looks from their fellow gender.
Just because it doesn't apply to you doesn't mean what was said here is bs... I really appreciate this scene because it is very emotional to me... I was abandoned as a child. My parents weren't really there for me. My mom got remarried when I was 10, and I was happy with my new family until my stepdad cheated on my mom with my friend when I was 22. Again, I was left alone, betrayed by someone who earned my trust, who I called dad for 12 years. My mom became depressed and alcoholic. I had to support myself during university. I also struggled to have healthy relationships and often found myself in abusive ones. I got cheated on and beat up multiple times. I got through all that, and no one has ever told me that they're proud of me... not even myself... It might be true that I have a victim mindset, but you can't say life hasn't beat the sh outta me 😂
This scene is a reminder that life is just so difficult and the difficulties for each one of us just vary... and we need to be proud of ourselves even though things in our lives are messed up...
Even though I have a stronger mindset now, this scene still speaks to me, and I'm glad it doesn't speak to all of you.
And for guys who say that this applies to everyone, not just women, I completely agree. But please let us have our moments and gather in our sisterhood for once.

Thing is - a similar dialogue can very well be written from men’s perspective. They have it hard too. be the provider but be soft and caring. go out in the world and conquer the day and look after the woman at home. Women do expect husbands or their guys to be fit and good looking too and earn well.
This is not a female only thing.
I actually read another comment that rewrote the speech, instead talking about men’s issues and I thought I was really poignant
Gender is a mirror. How we treat our own inner anima and animus will affect how we treat people of the opposite gender and the same and all nuances in-between.
You shouldn't be soft as a man. That's pretty bad advice for most men. It will just make you unattractive.
In the theaters I was like should I cry or applaud after her monologue
This was a great speech. I love Barbie movie a lot and I love how the whole movie is based on empowering women! I’m all for it!
And yet all of you forget it's women tearing down other women the most.

America is awesome i loved her part in Barbie and how she changes Barbies life completely ❤❤❤
It is literally impossible to be a man. You are so handsome, and so smart, and it kills me that you don’t think you’re good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we’re always doing it wrong.
You have to be strong, but not too strong, or you will be seen as "toxic". And you can never say you want to be strong. You have to say you want to be resilient, but, really, you have to be strong. You have to gain money, or your value as a man will become close to zero, but you have to share it also if your companion does a big nothing. If by hard work and investing most of your time you become a boss, it is only because of your privilege. You have to lead, but you can’t squash other people’s ideas, or try to discuss about them: it would be perceived as mansplaining. You’re supposed to love being a father, but whether you want to become one or not, the decision is never yours. And you don't even have the right to the certainty of raising your own children. "Do you not trust your partner? You are a monster!". You have to be a career man, but just to provide for other people. You have to answer for women’s bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you’re accused of toxicity. You’re supposed to be handsome in order to rise the interest of women, but not so handsome that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other man because... hey, man are loyal to their friends! But always stand out and always be grateful. But never forget that 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, never cry. It’s too hard! It’s too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.
I’m just so tired of watching myself and every single other man tie himself into knots so that people will appreciate us. And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing men, then I don’t even know.
This is such an amazing translation of the speech into a male perspective. I do think we need to talk about men’s struggles under patriarchy while also talking about women’s struggles
@@judgmentalanimal Thank you. My point is: life is a struggle for both sexes, but I don't think the reason is patriarchy. The reason of human behaviour often is biology: the necessity to find a companion to reproduce with and to forge a bond with strong enough to give children protection and care till they become adult.

@@selloselloso9292 A lot of the things you mention in your speech are the result of patriarchy. It would be great if men didn't have to deal with the pressure to always be strong and successful.
I remember when I watched this movie for the first time, I was shocked at how amazing that speech was! Every single word the mom said was true. I could watch this scene over and over again nonstop.
Everything she says here applies to all people.
I've heard people criticize this scene for being too on-the-nose and if you're chronically online in progressive circles, yeah it probably is. But if you're my mom and you've never heard anyone validate your experience this articulately before, this is a fantastic scene. Just because you know this stuff already doesn't mean every other audience does

And her husband in this movie who was clunkily learning Spanish was the actress’s real life husband (who is also currently clunkily learning Spanish).
@@Rugelacharugula wow!
She is also Ugly Betty
Whenever i hear america ferrera talking i always get reminded of astrid-
This speech makes me cry every time I watch it.
I teared up during this. I loved taking my daughter to see this movie. A great bonding experience.
I wasnt expecting to cry for a barbie movie😢
@@elliotnono2069I can respect that this movie speech didn’t speak to you. It sounds like it repelled you. Fair enough. Please respect the fact that some of your fellow human beings found a deeply needed representation in this performance. There are lots of nuances to the female experience that are unspoken and this was a part of that coming to a necessary surface.
So much truth in this!
It was so quiet in the theater during this speech. I was sitting there thinking, why have we put up with this for so long?
Someone missed the point
Even though I wasn't a huge fan of the movie as a whole, this scene is incredible. This speech....it gets me every time!!😢💜
Amazing!
It mass me cry
Soo true
What I love about this movie is that it calls out men for their behaviors and the system we live in, but also how other women who are supposed to support us tear us down.
This speaks so much to me. I’m a woman, working full time and a parent to a neurodivergent child. It is so hard to please everyone…sometimes I want to shriek and cry to the skies because I’m the one who has to hold it altogether for my husband and son. I’ve been joked about my anxieties. I’m just so exhausted…
it’s so true i was the most unhappy person in the world trying to persuade thise rules and now i am the happiest with all the imperfections i have
Meanwhile women in Kabul or Tehran seeing this would be like "Uh-huh". If they were permitted to speak.
All this applies to men as well .. not upper middle white men , but other men.. yea all this applies.. its all about balance ppl.. you cant be too much anything good or bad…
This is soooooo so soo true. Omg. Its soo deep. Whoever thought of these lines, i m just soo grateful to them. Its the reality of this world!!
This scene made me cry the first time I watched this movie.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽now that's a MFKN monologue!!
Villian level? I'd say it's more like a bad Facebook post with very little logic behind it and entirely victim mentality but interpretation is subjective.
@ Are you a bot?
@_PuppetMaster86 Are you capable of independent thought? We've seen this same speech in countless posts on Facebook and other spaces for almost 30 years. Junk emails with it. And it completely ignores shifts and the fact society isn't one person but many, and worse it's not men placing the standards but women usually.
@ *_(WET FARTING NOISES)_*
This really spoke to me but we have to address that it's usually other women who put us down in the real world. I've heard some of the vilest, most unnecessary things from women about other women and its sad. Hopefully those who understood the message can begin a new era.
what a scene, wow.
I feel this to my very core
im a 57 year old man and just watched this for the first time..gave me goosebumps and i cried...then i called my mom and sister and gfriend and told them thank you...greta should have got an oscar nom!!!!
Technically speaking she actually did get nominated for Adapted Screenplay.
Damn! I have tears in my eyes!! That is a well too well, award winning well written scene!
America hope you win a Oscar because delivered speech perfectly and encouragement.
This made me cry
Wow, had to watch it again I love that speech
THE actual best bit of the whole film
I’ve heard this so many times and I’m still crying
I wonder if you'll ever stop.
can i just say this is the best comment section ive seen in a long time...ppl r acknowledging different points of view and so respectfully too
expectations from woman, for woman. men just want to play boardgames
We want to play fortnite monopoly.
I cried so hard in the theater 😭
jesus
@@H-Vox yes?
Anybody with half a brain can complain just about ...anything. Won the lottery? oh damm!! now I have to pay taxes !!! I am so mad and oppressed and the system is rigged!! (but didn't you just win the lottery? shouldn't you be happy?) No! in today's WOKE world women complain, complain, complain, we find something wrong with everything !! (what a loser generation )
Wow!!! I listened to this three times!!!
Respect for the person that wrote this part of the script
Being the oldest daughter in a nutshell
Being ANY daughter, in a nutshell.
Needs a best supportting actress Oscar ❤
Woa this is powerful stuff! Tying yourself in knots so people will like you. As a man I would say don't! And people will LOVE you - I think it's about being authentic.
I’m a man and it just made me cry. I cry for my daughter and all women. I’m a privileged older white man. And I know it and that it’s not fair for a long time. Good to hear it so well articulated.
LMAO
Get a grip mate
Is he for real right now?
Sit down Man, sit down...
I am a guy, I have watched this speech over and over, and I am speechless every time. I think its amazing and would not have been as good if anyone else had done it.
Sounds like a bag of bricks to women; real, heavy.
That really is a an iconic Barbie's Speech🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
Wow. What a great big ocean of tears surrounding the conditions of life for all of us, not just women. As with anything, if you look for something, you'll find it. That includes reasons to cry about the unfairness of life. Glad I didn't watch this movie, and if you did, I hope you have since found inner peace.
Powerful. I don't understand how this woman was EVER called "ugly". Beautiful in appearance and in wisdom, whoever wrote the text, I understand she had significant input.
Vou ver esse vídeo todo dia até tentar acreditar que sou suficiente
Você é. Todas somos. :)
Expectation: i'll have fun with Barbie!
Reality: deepest thoughts and feelings for 2 hrs and I loooooove it!!
Welcome to the wonderful of adulthood. People go through this regardless if you’re a man or a women.
True no one wants to acknowledge that life is simply hard, man or woman. But that's sexist to say so.
Yeah, one of my problems with this movie is that it upholds the myth that male experiences and female experiences are completely different things. In reality, men and women both have a lot of the same struggles. It's just that women, on average, have it worse.
Haven't seen the movie just yet.
But I've always adored America. She must have been so excited when she saw this speech in her script.
I hope it becomes the current generation's Rosa Parks moment.
Way to go 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
AMEN!!!! Everyday!!!!
America Ferrera deserves an Oscar!
Sure for a stupid speech that says “if your a man, your needles. But if your a woman your just great” 🙄🙄
After watching this scene on screen, I just had to come to CZcams to read the impassioned agreements/disagreements and see how heated they get.
Melhor cena de todas! 🙌
Iconic America
I am so happy for America, this feels very personal. I have lived her since Ugly Betty !!
Go America !!
This should be an award winning speech. 🙂
I love this monologue! 🩷💞
