“Note to the filmmakers: Margot Robbie is the wrong person to cast if you want to make this point” sent me big time. And then America drew me in with her monologue that had me applauding by the end of it.
That was the only thing I didn't like. Margot Robbie was the perfect person to cast to make that point. To hear one of the actual most stereotypically and actually beautiful women in the world, also feels like she's not pretty or good enough... Like, if she doesn't feel pretty, then the concept of pretty is fucked. And it is. I felt like the joke took away from the punch of hearing Margot of all people - being, in that moment, all people - say that.
@@torihobsoncpt I have to agree because while Margot isn't representing the " average " woman dealing with being crushed by the insane standards of beauty it does represent how even the most stunningly beautiful women might not see herself as others do and can have self esteem issues . The deeper message is that no matter how beautiful a woman is she still can feel deeply insecure about her looks ...ie ANY woman can be subject to these issues ...not just the average woman. The standards and pressure we put on ourselves just because others say that's who we must be to be considered attractive ARE ridiculous.
@@Cleobaddiedawlz That is literally the point. I'm so sick of feminist blaming men for problems that never even existed nor doesn't exist anymore. Nobody said yall had to change you looks or change your personality. It was you that did that.
Margot Robbie is such a good actress. When given a good script with good writing she can pull at your heart strings. That "im not good enough... for anything" really made me tear. i felt that.
In this scene, the way that Margot represents so many women who have felt this way is both an amazing performance and also unfortunate for how many woman have felt exactly as her Barbie feels. No matter who you are and no matter what you look like, you are absolutely beautiful and you are good enough. :)
@@isthatchrisk She actually is though, because Margot has said many times how she never thought she was pretty and was surprised how she was perceived when she got into acting. All beautiful girls/women are torn down and made to feel ugly. I suggest you watch the video titled “the double edged sword of beauty” here on CZcams, it explains this perfectly.
Speaking as someone with imposter syndrome, the way America Ferrera inflects her voice when she says 1:57, it’s one of those moments that blurs the line between the character and the actress. There isn’t a single moment where she doesn’t believe what she’s saying, which is ultimately a true testament to Greta Gerwig’s vision.
Maybe it’s just me personally, but the commitment she has to those lines, it’s like we are watching her speak truth to power. The real defining moment of any artist.
Well, it’s about time. I mean, yes I love “Oppenheimer”, and Kate & Issa are amazing in this film, but America is the standout here and deserves it. No supporting performance (aside from RDJ) can come close to her.
@@craigledger4645 Sorry, this is just not correct at all. Emily Blunt was far better than America was in her role. The Color Purple is still coming. So is Saltburn, Holdovers, American Fiction. There's a LOT of performances still coming. American Ferrera is great and she might even win, but she's not head and shoulders above anyone else. That's just wrong and really narrow minded. And you really want to act like America was better in this movie than Ryan Gosling was? Fucking please.
This speech always let's me cry because it's so accurate of my inner struggles on a day to day basis. Never could find the words to explain to anyone why I'd be sad or angry at times. Then this came out and this is what I feel
This is one of the most powerful movies made. "I’m just so tired of watching myself and every other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us.” This is one of the most powerful quotes I've heard, and I know it's one we all say.
Fabulous performances by both America Ferrera and Margot Robbie! 👏 When Barbie was finally able to express not feeling good enough, I started to sob. I have felt not good enough in my own life for the past decade. To see that kind of vulnerability on screen was really something. And the empowering speech that followed made me feel validated. Such a great film. 💗
“The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows, it’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. THATS HOW WINNING IS DONE! Now if you know what you’re worth go out and get what you’re worth, but you gotta be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you want to be because of him or her or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!” - Rocky Balboa
Yea this mindset is great but getting hit by life is much better and easier than having to fit all of those imaginary standards at the same time and failing to them all because this is not eligible for a human being abilities it’s just not the standards that the world put on women are much more than what a normal human being can take not a man nor a woman and this is something else she’s not tired of life’s problems she’s tired of the problems that are made for us for no benefits in back nothing
Look Life is hard on everyone Ik and you have to shut up and try your best to make your life as great as possible but this rule implies on a normal human being That doesn’t face this and facing a society that want her to fit very high standards of life all at the same time nobdoy can do that sometimes we forget that women ar humans too For example A woman have to fit all the beauty standards other than that she would be looked down at And this costs her 6 hours daily from hair care to skin care to makeup and intense exercise some mental illness and more After that she have to work the same as a man to get her salary to pay most of it in pink tax because all her products are much expensive because just of her gender and moooooooooooklookoore things that she is supposed to do at the same time just to satisfy the society to you when you look at her you say she is normal however the normality for a woman take her her life Yeah life is not fair but life can be impossible buf for women to live is far away from possible it is what a human being man or a woman can not take Im really sorry maybe I couldn’t deliver my thoughts correctly as my english is not native
My mom went home after this and checked if these discontinued Barbies and Kens were real. Sugar daddy Ken never made it into stores but someone did design him.
I think it's profound having Margot, of all people, say she doesn't feel pretty. I get it. Even though the physical is somewhat objective, it's also completely subjective. A lot of the "feeling" of beauty comes from within yourself. I used to think I was hideous for some reason when I was younger. But now, 6 years later, I look back at old pictures of myself and think, "wow i looked so good..." My skin was clear, great cheek bones, slim, abs, great smile, beautiful eyes. Now that I'm older I can see all these really great things that I didn't even care about when I was younger because I was comparing myself to someone else. And I think when I'm in my 50s, I will look at my currently 30 year old self and probably be jealous of a lot of things I'm currently insecure about. That perspective really helps me. Although we, the viewers, look at Barbie as gorgeous, it doesn't matter unless she feels it for herself. She has to overcome that internally. No amount of compliments can give it to her. She has to recognize her own beauty and worth and only then will she embody it and believe it. Very strong message.
yeah yeah the America Ferrera speech but can we talk about Margot Robbie mini speech at the beginning ?? with just a few words and the tears she was awesomeee. since the first time I saw in the theater I was impressed by her acting. that words feels real and deep in the soul.
I finally watched this movie just recently (within the past month) & wasn't sure if I liked it or not. And then this scene. ❤😭❤️😭 I totally felt Barbie's pain. And I completely got America Ferrra's speech. In fact, I rewound & watched it again, & again. Incredible. ❤
@ 3:50 is true Like just because Barbie dolls look like human women they NEED to be good role models and can’t be about superficial things like makeup or shopping? Such expectations aren’t even thought of with other toys like teddy bears, little people, transformers or rag dolls. Barbie and other fashion dolls seem to be the only ones that get this criticism.
I feel the exact same way as Barbie. I’m not good at anything, I’m not a pro. I can make nice things, I can follow instructions but I’m not a trailblazer. I’m not good enough for anything. You know when you see a nice dish and it inspires you to go to culinary school and then you make perfect dishes? That could never be me, not even if I tried my best. My best is never good enough for anyone or anything, seriously. It’s why I always sit at home, why I’m alone. I’m not smart enough to be interesting, either.
Soo sadly true!!! There is one more point they could have included: as women, we're supposed to put others' feelings first while suppressing and sacrificing our own emotional needs! And we're supposed to be speaking our minds but not at the expense of others' feelings. In suppressing the feminine, we're denying our very own humanity! Enough is enough. If we want to heal the world, we need to heal our hearts and nervous systems from trauma.
@@01NATHAN10 says a guy who knows nothing about being a woman in this world. How cute, that you are judging me at all. Oh you know better, right, no wrong.
I feel like it was quite easy for America to feel comfortable performing this speech. It’s easy to read from a script when you so thoroughly understand it. It did make me tear up the first time I watched it, because of how true it really is… Definitely Oscar worthy. No doubt.
I watched this movie with my girlfriend in theatres and... As a man I thought this scene was great, because in a weird way I do relate to a few of the points made, not on the same intended level of course because this movie was written by a woman, directed by a woman and was likely made for women. But expections of being exceptional and immediately knowing your purpose and direction in life is a universal message, because most people simply don't know it yet. Because expectations of men and women from the perspectives of men and women will always be expectations that we may eventually force onto ourselves. This scene is simply a woman's perspective on the impossible expectations they experience, a perspective I never thought I could ever understand since I'm not a woman. But I think since so many people can relate to this rant is proof of the fact that it's not a unique experience, and while that's sad, it does give me hope that both men and women can/will understand eachother better because of it.
Why is she making so much sense now? Im 29 and married. But im overweifht i used to be skinny and beautiful but i never saw myself as beautiful. Its hard. This isbwhy ive been having identity crises
I wish a movie like this existed when I was growing up. It would have helped me so much. I literally hated myself. Never felt good enough, that's why this scene gets to me so bad. 😢
WHY did they have to put that disclaimer on Margot's speech. it was completely valid for such a beautiful woman to say that she doesn't feel pretty THAT EVEN MORE VALIDATES THE MOVIE.
I've argued with like three different men about the meaning of this movie because for some reason they want to believe that it's just a movie about a doll. And it's like I don't know how you can watch this movie and not understand the messages it's trying to convey.
I remember being in the theater and putting my arm around my teenage daughter during this scene and I started noticing that the other Mom's was doing that too ❤
I am 23 and I bawled to her saying all that stuff . And how Margot said “I’m not good enough at anything and I’m not pretty enough” you don’t know how many times girls say that to themselves a day . I was crying and my husband was like what’s wrong …. I told him that’s how almost all of woman feel
I think if someone tells you're not good enough, it's them who have insecurities and they invalidate you by putting themselves first. But in fact, they have a deep feeling of not loving themselves. They've been traumatised once
I admire this movie the more I watch it for what Greta and all her gang acomplished, it was her vision, an auteur vision, many details that makes it indivual and yet spoke to massive audiences while spelling some truths that should be already the norm and yet they aren't. This movie is particularly valuable for young kids, is a manual for basic understanding on humanity.
1:13 I have mixed feelings about this movie overall. I love this scene and the song “What was I made for” has become one of my newest favorites. During this scene there was a guy who laughed so hard and loud at this that everyone laughed with him. The atmosphere in the theater had been tense because people weren’t sure what to make of the movie yet. Props to that guy, he lightened the mood. Hope he’s doing well. Also, I still can’t unhear Fawn from the Tinkerbell in this scene. America Ferrara voiced her in the first movie.
That speech made me sad because being a woman should be beautiful... but the reality is, it's the toughest thing to be... a woman who knows herself and loves herself is hard and not often seen or found. But it doesn't have to be a myth or a mission! This scene was really good but the real thing will be to see how it impacts ppl truly.
@dinahn6955 the connection is she has actually had a hard life and didn’t agree with the rich western women in this movie saying that it’s “impossible to be a woman”.
Everything America says is True. I mean even the comment sections I get shouted at because I say something smart because my name is female. I kinda wonder if I had a male name if they wouldn't state anything? Hmm. Why does our culture restrict how women can act and behave? It actually makes us more prone to diseases because of societal stress and expectations. And that's effed up.
I’m crying right now because this is me…I can’t seem to do anything right…I’m so exhausted…I’m trying so hard to be a good mother, a good wife…trying to keep a cool face but I’m not allowed to be sad or be emotionally vulnerable because I have to be strong. I needed to hear this…I just wish someone can be here to give me a hug and say you’re doing your best…instead of you’re complaining and stop whinging
You are doing so good ❤ I just know it. I am *SO* proud of you. Please take care of yourself when you can. Express your emotions out loud, allow yourself to feel sadness, boredom, or anger. Your strength will shine through those moments instead of diminishing it. Your family loves you and appreciates you so much, even if they forget to say it sometimes. We, as other women in the world, appreciate you as well. You’re another shining example of how strong women are ❤❤❤❤
I do love that the comments section is men saying "but what about me?" You guys know that there WAS a point about the system hurting men in the movie too, right? From Ken's POV! You should watch it! But in this case? Not every moment is about you. Like the Ken moment isn't about me, neither is this about you. So maybe go watch it again! It's valuable! But don't make everything about you.
Yeah it’s like the guys who complain about International Women’s Day 🙄 It’s the collective version of a man feeling neglected by his wife because she’s just had their baby
This movie so so good, obviously it wouldn't please the Oscar's academy because they're probably a bunch of white old males, but it's brilliant!! This scene shows that nothing is ever good enough for women that even the role model of beauty, which Barbie has always represented, gets affected by the beauty standards and the pressure put on women in society.
a friendly reminder that blaming a bunch of people that a feminist film didn't win an award just because there are straight, white males in it is pretty racist, just to let you know
Im not pretty anymore Im not stereotypical barbie pretty Its not just that.. im not.. smart enough to be interesting I can’t do brain surgery I’ve never flown a plane Im not the president No one on the Supreme court is me Im not good enough for anything
Hey what's wrong? What? You're so pretty. But, you're beautiful. You're so smart- It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful 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 thin, but not to thin. And you can 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 for money. Because that's crass.
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're kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman. But also, always be looking out for other people.
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. It's too hard! It's too contradictory! And nobody gives you a medal or says "Thank you"!
incredible moment in film history. Greta is awesome. America is amazing as was the film. I hope people learn from it. Women should rule the world. Don't tell anyone I said that, but I've been saying that since i saw Newt Gingrich in congress. What a douche. Just ask my wife.
“Note to the filmmakers: Margot Robbie is the wrong person to cast if you want to make this point” sent me big time. And then America drew me in with her monologue that had me applauding by the end of it.

But expections of being exceptional and immediately knowing your purpose and direction in life is a universal message, because most people simply don't know it yet.
Because expectations of men and women from the perspectives of men and women will always be expectations that we may eventually force onto ourselves.
This scene is simply a woman's perspective on the impossible expectations they experience, a perspective I never thought I could ever understand since I'm not a woman.
But I think since so many people can relate to this rant is proof of the fact that it's not a unique experience, and while that's sad, it does give me hope that both men and women can/will understand eachother better because of it.
America definitely needs that DAMN OSCAR!!!!!!
What a line 🎉
What ALSO makes this speech great--it has NO music score.
Right it makes it real. Completely real
Why is she making so much sense now? Im 29 and married. But im overweifht i used to be skinny and beautiful but i never saw myself as beautiful. Its hard. This isbwhy ive been having identity crises
I wish a movie like this existed when I was growing up. It would have helped me so much. I literally hated myself. Never felt good enough, that's why this scene gets to me so bad. 😢
I think that America should win the best supporting actress Oscar based on this scene alone!
This had me sobbing in the movie tbh
They, IMO, did great with hiring all the actors and the acting and writing is beyond amazing.
Everytime I see this monologue I cry. It hits so close to home.
One of my favorite monologues! 🩷💯
WHY did they have to put that disclaimer on Margot's speech. it was completely valid for such a beautiful woman to say that she doesn't feel pretty THAT EVEN MORE VALIDATES THE MOVIE.
Extraordinary
Great now I am crying again….😢😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
This is the Best description I've heard of what it is to be a woman 💔
So a walking contradictions addicted to what others will think of them? Sounds narcisstic. I have better opinion on women.
@@piotrszwarc2564and what’s that?
Actualy, this speech is a perfect example of those who still support Amber Heard after she lied, and probably praise her like a saint for doing so
@@theoneinthehoood-ii4om interesting opinion. Why do you think that?
The whole point of this movie flew over people's head smh 😞
I've argued with like three different men about the meaning of this movie because for some reason they want to believe that it's just a movie about a doll. And it's like I don't know how you can watch this movie and not understand the messages it's trying to convey.
I remember being in the theater and putting my arm around my teenage daughter during this scene and I started noticing that the other Mom's was doing that too ❤
That was from the soul 💔🥺
This scene alone should have brought her oscar nod. Congrats to America Ferrara though
LOL this movie won almost nothing, just for the music, Poor Things, anatomy of the fall and Oppenheimer are better
Inspiring!
America Ferrera (voice):
Astrid (How To Train Your Dragon)
Fawn (Tinker Bell)
I am 23 and I bawled to her saying all that stuff . And how Margot said “I’m not good enough at anything and I’m not pretty enough” you don’t know how many times girls say that to themselves a day . I was crying and my husband was like what’s wrong …. I told him that’s how almost all of woman feel
I think if someone tells you're not good enough, it's them who have insecurities and they invalidate you by putting themselves first. But in fact, they have a deep feeling of not loving themselves. They've been traumatised once
The monologue itself starts at 1:52
Watever Margot says is whats expected from top actresses today..fax
I admire this movie the more I watch it for what Greta and all her gang acomplished, it was her vision, an auteur vision, many details that makes it indivual and yet spoke to massive audiences while spelling some truths that should be already the norm and yet they aren't. This movie is particularly valuable for young kids, is a manual for basic understanding on humanity.
1:13 I have mixed feelings about this movie overall. I love this scene and the song “What was I made for” has become one of my newest favorites. During this scene there was a guy who laughed so hard and loud at this that everyone laughed with him. The atmosphere in the theater had been tense because people weren’t sure what to make of the movie yet. Props to that guy, he lightened the mood. Hope he’s doing well.
Also, I still can’t unhear Fawn from the Tinkerbell in this scene. America Ferrara voiced her in the first movie.
That speech made me sad because being a woman should be beautiful... but the reality is, it's the toughest thing to be... a woman who knows herself and loves herself is hard and not often seen or found. But it doesn't have to be a myth or a mission! This scene was really good but the real thing will be to see how it impacts ppl truly.
So this is the scene everyone is talking about all around the world, the media, the blogs and so on?
She’s no longer an Actress,
She’s now a Movie Star ❤
That was a mouthful, I can't hardly copy what she said. 2:14
Why did I just find out today that I was hearing Astrid’s voice the whole time
So true what she said
My fiancée told me after we saw the movie she didn’t really connect with this monologue . . . and she was born in a refugee camp in Thailand
@dinahn6955 the connection is she has actually had a hard life and didn’t agree with the rich western women in this movie saying that it’s “impossible to be a woman”.
This movie is a movie for a toy for teenagers preschoolers and even toddlers but the casts are our mom and dad
I can’t believe that girl was Young Ahsoka!!!! ❤
Everything America says is True. I mean even the comment sections I get shouted at because I say something smart because my name is female. I kinda wonder if I had a male name if they wouldn't state anything? Hmm. Why does our culture restrict how women can act and behave? It actually makes us more prone to diseases because of societal stress and expectations. And that's effed up.
I’m about to cry on the train
Ariana Greenblatt & America Ferrera were Former Disney/Disney Channel Stars
I’m crying right now because this is me…I can’t seem to do anything right…I’m so exhausted…I’m trying so hard to be a good mother, a good wife…trying to keep a cool face but I’m not allowed to be sad or be emotionally vulnerable because I have to be strong. I needed to hear this…I just wish someone can be here to give me a hug and say you’re doing your best…instead of you’re complaining and stop whinging
You are doing so good ❤ I just know it. I am *SO* proud of you. Please take care of yourself when you can. Express your emotions out loud, allow yourself to feel sadness, boredom, or anger. Your strength will shine through those moments instead of diminishing it. Your family loves you and appreciates you so much, even if they forget to say it sometimes. We, as other women in the world, appreciate you as well. You’re another shining example of how strong women are ❤❤❤❤
Seeing barbie broken hurt me cause i,m a 36 year old single butt i respect america ferrera,s speech respect i say😢👏👏👏
YES
OH YES YES
And ALWAYS be grateful…my ex mil used to say this 🙄 why are we women always the ones expected to be grateful ?? 🤪🙄🔫
The fact is barbie nobody is good enough or pretty enough you just have to do your best.
I do love that the comments section is men saying "but what about me?"
You guys know that there WAS a point about the system hurting men in the movie too, right? From Ken's POV! You should watch it!
But in this case? Not every moment is about you. Like the Ken moment isn't about me, neither is this about you.
So maybe go watch it again! It's valuable! But don't make everything about you.
Yeah it’s like the guys who complain about International Women’s Day 🙄
It’s the collective version of a man feeling neglected by his wife because she’s just had their baby
0:36 - 0:38 😂 Every dude needs a Growing Up Skipper!
This movie so so good, obviously it wouldn't please the Oscar's academy because they're probably a bunch of white old males, but it's brilliant!! This scene shows that nothing is ever good enough for women that even the role model of beauty, which Barbie has always represented, gets affected by the beauty standards and the pressure put on women in society.
a friendly reminder that blaming a bunch of people that a feminist film didn't win an award just because there are straight, white males in it is pretty racist, just to let you know
New Winter And Dry Bowser’s Castle Battle Photos Coming Saturday 6th January 2024!
I HAD THE ONE WITH THE PURPLE DRESS
if i married barbie than golum would come and say wheres the ring, i still will but in the shire, barbie barbie
Anyone find it insane how Ariana Greenblatt looks so much like America Ferrara.
I was not allowed to have a barbie.. I painted my hair. I hid my brain.. I ...
Im not pretty anymore
Im not stereotypical barbie pretty
Its not just that.. im not.. smart enough to be interesting
I can’t do brain surgery
I’ve never flown a plane
Im not the president
No one on the Supreme court is me
Im not good enough for anything
Hey what's wrong?
What? You're so pretty.
But, you're beautiful.
You're so smart-
It is literally impossible to be a woman.
You are so beautiful 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 thin, but not to thin.
And you can 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 for money. Because that's crass.
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're kids all the damn time.
You have to be a career woman.
But also, always be looking out for other people.
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. It's too hard!
It's too contradictory!
And nobody gives you a medal or says "Thank you"!
0:28 ok we all know about magic ring Ken but due to this movie I never heard of Sugar daddy Ken…
I Timothy 1:9-10,
i am a man and my life
has disappointed me,
but i thank God for it
incredible moment in film history. Greta is awesome. America is amazing as was the film. I hope people learn from it. Women should rule the world. Don't tell anyone I said that, but I've been saying that since i saw Newt Gingrich in congress. What a douche. Just ask my wife.

Actually, that is Growing Up Ginger in Growing Up Skipper's outfit.
