Thank you guys for watching!
'I only exist within the warmth of your gaze' is such a double edged line because it's sweet and we want a someone that makes us feel special. It's like a line from Shakespeare. But it really came from an empty place, the way it does for a lot of people
I agree that anyone calling this an “anti-men” movie missed some key scenes. Good video Monica
missed some key scenes is really interpreting in the most positive way possible, id say low IQ ideologically possessed grifters but i applaud your restraint
Honestly, as a man, I agree. The only thing I could think was “anti-men”, and trust me, it wasn’t even that big- was the makeup scene where America Farrera’s character just villainize Ken. And I’m only judging it cause I kinda see why Ken wanted a change YK. But even that isn’t that much, it’s just one of those small thoughts you have when viewing. People saying this ENTIRE MOVIE is “anti-men” are either very sad, or prove that media literacy is doomed
I feel like LGBT+ peeps like myself pick up on this stuff because for a long time our sole rep was relegated to queer coded stuff (queer coded villains especially), so we are trained to pick up on nuance where big dumb meatheads go hurr durr and read lines on the page verbatim without any context or irony.
@@devineggins4i mean looking from Glorias human perspective what Ken did would be considered multiple crimes that would make people see you as a villain
@@devineggins4 It is in a race context originally but I always think back to a quote from bo burnham's Happy "we used to have all the money and land, and we still do but it's not as fun now". Men literally still own everything and any sense of equality is immediately taken as losing.
The elderly woman who Barbie talks to is 2 time Oscar winning costume designer Ann Roth. As a matter of fact, Roth became the oldest ever female Oscar winner when she won her 2nd Oscar 2 years ago for MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM (Chadwick Boseman‘s last movie).
I feel like the scene they were going to cut was the essence of the movie. I without fail cry at that scene every time, and thank god they didn't cut it.
As a guy who prides myself on being pretty "aware", one thing i feel this movie did really well is make the ideas it touches on, very accessible and easy to digest while also cutting deep. Simple and to the point. Love how it also highlights that men are affected negatively by the patriarchy, and Ken realizing he has to find his own self worth is a great lesson to all men.
You look so pretty in pink, I saw it 3 times in cinemas wearing pink myself and words can't express how much I adore this film it's perfection🩷. Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig are legends in the movie industry!
This movie also has one of the best soundtracks in recent years who agrees?
Me, it is 😊❤
Ikr, fire music honestly.
The woman you recognized from Matilda is Rhea Perlman, and she’s been married to Danny DeVito in real life since 1982! They are currently separated, but amicably and as close friends.
Ken: Ken’s Mojo Dojo Casa House
Me in the theater: Casa means house. You’re literally saying House House 😂
And mojo means magic and dojo means room, so technically it would be Ken's Magic Room House House 🤣
Apparently the actor for "weird" Barbie was given a fake leg for when she did the splits against the wall so her real one was literally inside the wall 😂
The line about Justice League absolutely killed me in theaters I couldn’t believe it 😂
Why do people hate those movies yeah I get it it’s 4 hrs long but it’s still a good movie
Lol I don't know but it just reminded me of my ex who and our whole shitty situation and he loved the snyder cut and I just instantly imagined him lmaooooooo
I suuuuuper loved this movie, this movie filled my depression and sadness into pink and happiness its such a calm and fun experience seeing it on theaters, everyone is on pink and dress like barbie and kens im just so happy 😊❤
If you weren't aware Monica, Mattel is actually selling official I am Kenough hoodies!! I hope you get one too :3
I love to hear that you were a Bratz girlie Monica! I was (and still am) a huge Bratz, Barbie, Monster High, and Ever After High girlie. I am forever sorry that your cinema experience wasn't amazing...I would've yelled Hi Barbie back to you!
I’m in the US. We did have the box and wear pink. We also did do hey Barbie and hey Ken! I’m so sorry you were robbed.😭
I did not catch the Bratz names! I loved Barbie and the Bratz
We appreciate your reactions. They're always fun and enjoyable to watch.
I watched it with my sister last week and i guess the hype died down a bit because we had the whole theater to ourselves during that showing. It was really fun though we got to do commentary together and we wore pink
I had a lot of Barbies, but my favorites were all of the gymnast Barbies. I loved the fact that they had hand grips so they could swing on the bar.
I was also more of a Bratz girl, though I did own both. And I completely understand your rant about there not being a box or anything Barbie related. Me and my friends were SO disappointed our local cinema had absolutely NOTHING (also in the UK) 🙄 Most people were wearing pink or something Barbie related (I don’t own anything pink apart from socks, which I did wear 😅 and I bought some Barbie earrings that I’m still wearing at least once a week 🤭). Love your videos!
this is such an important movie. Especially when Barbie says at the end she doesn't want to be an idea, she wants to deliver ideas. This is such a projectile of a woman seen as a "product" or idea, but in fact (many) women want to do stuff and also inspire. Ken realising he doesn't need stuff (not even other woman) to accept him as who he is... that's how every human should see himself. Ken was also designed as a Buddy or a couple part, because Barbie was getting too independent and it was unheard of to have a female role model being on her own (without a man/husband/boyfriend etc). It was also never Barbies fault Ken didn't have anything other than her, since her world was designed for girls and they wouldn't play with a Kens house or anything :D which applies to the company sacrifying Kens individuality for profit. You don't need cars or a coat (or other people) to define you for who you are and you never shouldn't fall for all the commerce shit telling you "this is what you need". That's why you also can rip off the patriarchy, but ofcourse the system won't let you. Also the ending scene, at the gynecologist, so many take it as a funny joke to end the movie (ofcourse it's made that way), but it's important for women to know about what's in their system. Young girls hate what's down there, because it's "dirty" etc and even after the menstruation, it's only annoying. Back in the days, when sex wasn't meant for the woman to feel pleasure, women used to hate this part.
Ryan as ken was my favourite, always loved the actor and he nailed this role. I loved margo as barbie too and i still wish they were a couple cause they would've been cute together but oh well. If we had a sequel they should get together then 😊❤
23:17-24:14 that speech was so powerful and so true
I was so gutted about the lack of barbie box as well! We just went too late I guess.
To be honest I didn't think that this movie would be for me but I loved it SO much. Everything was so fun and the message really hit
THE FIT IS EVERYTHING!!! YOU ARE STUNNING!!! 💕
21:51-21:58 i didn't even notice him dancing 😂😂
15:08 i love her fit, tbh i love all her outfits 🔥🔥
I love your reactions!!!! This was awesome!! I love this movie 💗 👏
Anybody else notice the korean subtitles on the top?? 😂
I choreographed a Barbie dance after I saw this movie
22:28-22:30 allen really kicked their asses 👏🏾👏🏾
Aw congratulation to your mother mon 💕
i saw this a few days ago and loved it
My theatre didn't even have a poster. I was so mad. My friends and I drove to another theatre to take pictures. Lol
Also Hi Barbie
Love the dedication😭
HI BARBIE!!
In the "GOODLIGHT"-Box is also a collecteable card! I had a lot of the Movie-Barbies like "Barbie and the 12 dancing Princesses", "Barbie in the Nutcracker", "Barbie as Rapunzel", ect. I still own the two Barbies from "Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper" because they are my favorites. ^^ I wish I still had all the other ones - I really regret selling them on a flea market. Maybe I will buy them again someday - but they are very expensive now. I also had some regular barbies, and I think I had the pooping dog and at least one horse and some of the kens from the barbie movies. (Gosh I was spoiled with toys I guess xD I also had polly pocket and playmobile and sooo many plushies - I had a whole closet just for them.) Wish I could go back to my childhood and just play with my toys without knowing about all the problems we have in the world. 😅
Real movie, that is a perfect description to this movie... This movie tackle both side to criticize with laughter.
thank you so much for reacting to this, your videos are always so funny
I have two Barbie cars, three Barbies one Barbie house
i love ur vids they get me into good mood ❤s
32:20 i want that sweater
Not a woman but the speech is everything
18:53 I DIDN'T HAVE A BARBIE BOX EITHER, I was FURIOUS! I knew nothing about Barbie and didn't play with them growing up (I didn't discover my queerness until later in life), but this movie had me in my FEELINGS and I wanted pictures and they had no box and everyone else on my Insta had pictures in the box!
How dare you not sing along to “Closer I am to fi-i-i-i-i-ne”
9:34-9:40 wait i didn't even notice!
23:05-23:14 same 😂😂
Thank you for the video! LOVE the new glasses❤ and Will Ferrell unnerves me too, I get it lol😅
11:12-11:26 same 😂😂
Girl, the official hoodie is on the mattel website besides other cute film merch😂❤️
Those prices are extortionate though😭😭😭💀
Gloria husband is actually The actress real husband 😊
I love this Barbie movie so very much. I love your reaction so very. I’m so very happily.
Ryan Gosling had to learn to roller blade.
Omg I loved this movie waaaay too much…
Omg the pink is really giving!!!💖😙
omg, not chris evans brother, scott being stereotypical ken!
Good movie 🤩🤩❤️❤️
I already bought one from another CZcamsr tbh. Haja. But what person did you get? As I was hoping for Charlie Spring, but nope. I gotten Nick Nelson tbh. Aha.
My fave barbie movie is The magic of pegasus
HEY BARBIE!
HI BARBIE!
Omg, is one of the barbies that girl from Derry Girls? 😮🤩
Yes!! And she’s from Bridgerton too!😍
Heeey Monica!!! I watched Nimona and I absolutely LOVED it and I think u should do the reaction to that ❤ and also elemental came out too and it was so good as well
nimona is great
YES . nimona is absolutely amazing
Hey Barbie, it’s a sometimes Ken 😆 gotta say, now I want to see your reactions to the barbie animated movies haha. Also yes to the Korean subtitles for the movie - I’m watching most things with Korean subs while I try to learn the language
Do you have Spotify? Spotify have that song it’s called pink (bad day)
Not gonna lie, my jaw dropped when I saw that Dua Lipa was both in the movie and on the Soundtrack of this movie
Iconic
It was so good!!! So was the soundtrack
Songs getting stuck in your head! Great video! 😂❤
This is for you Monica
Hi Barbie!
Hi Barbie!!
Ken is actually the unsung hero of this movie all he really wanted was for him and the other Ken's to be respected, loved and treated equally. He changed the social structure of Barbie land and gave the Ken's new found purpose and authority. And the Barbie's weren't forced into it they willingly accepted this new change and showed to be happy with it.
Sadly cinema culture is different here in general, e.g. people don't really talk or laugh that loudly in the cinema and people rarely dress up for movies. I did wear pink though and I wore it proudly
This is my third comment but I had to say this. America's speech should be the anthem of every women out there
Expectations were so high for this movie that I kinda walked away disappointed. It was good, even great, but it was obvious that it was written with the idea that a significant portion of audience will be pre-teens that generally lack media literacy (basically beating you over the head with the main point). But I can totally see how it almost made 1,5 bil. dollars. We need more original movies like this.
i agree! the feminist stuff felt so surface level to me! it wasn’t anything special. the barbie stuff was great tho
@@lilly50821someone on twitter made a great point that it seems surface level but they’re dolls! That’s why key thought patriarchy was about horses. Makes sense for the Barbies it’s feminism 101. Tbh so many ppl aren’t well versed in feminist theory. They made it accessible for everyone. Also the more I rewatch the movie I marvel at how tight and smart the script is. They pack in so much
My sister had Odette (Swan Lake) and her carriage as well as Erica (Princes & the Pauper). I had Rapunzel, Annelise (Princess & the Pauper), and Ro (Island Princess) with her elephant.
We had the barbie box, australia just built different! Loved this movie, everyone knew the assignment and they delivered. Very smart screenplay (also the fact this just passed the highest grossing harry potter movie in all time box office and this movie has [the awesome] hari neff in it is just chefs kiss poetry).
Happy you went to theatres but sad we wont get to see a first reaction TT
32:44 what about the cat :[
BRATZ GIRLIES LETS GOOOOO!!! For real though I had wayyy too many bratz dolls. And accessories. Did anyone have the red tour bus or the denim clothes suitcase!??? 😩😂
Pink (bad day) is available just not on the album
I live in the middle of no where and we had a Barbie box, I'm so sad for you!
That’s it, I gotta rent this movie eventually 😂
As a tomboy, I never saw myself liking this movie. Let alone having such fun watching it 😊
Sugar Daddy Ken, Magic Earring Ken and Growing up Skipper! It was a miss opportunity for Warner Brothers to not include Black Canary Barbie among the discontinued Barbies.
One word Barbietastic I know I sound stupid but this is what I got from this video 🤩
Love this!
@@MonicaCatapusan Thank you I love you and your videos and appreciate everything you do to make them have a happy and healthy life 😁
Yasssss I was waiting for your reaction this film is definitely going to be talked about for nice to see a fellow southeast Asian doing reactions but barbie is cinema
Amazing movie 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I love it so much. I did a video of this on my channel
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
Not Monica not knowing Kate McKinnon 😭 💀
Bild Lilli doll, Adult German Barbie of 1955-1964. Ruth Handler bought one for her daughter, Barbara. Barbie doll entered stores in 1959. Barbie killed Lilli.
👍
I watch movies to escape the real world too. I don’t like historical movies.
You would sell very well as a dall
I love that movie so much but I just wish we had focused more time for Gloria than Ken
It's funny, Alan can hear the narrator. I'm confused about that. So, NSYNC are all Alans? I'm confused about that.
Tax Evasion Barbie, Ruth Handler.

I just Ken, anywhere else I'd be a ten. Can you feel the Kenergy? Feels so real, my Kenergy.
Doctor Who is a Ken.
i hate how much this movie babies the men. i understand what they were going for but come on. ken sexualizes all of them and steals their house and yet the women are the one who have to fix everything and say sorry not a single ken actually apologizes. as well as ken trying to kiss barbie after she says no twice! he was gross till the end. being a himbo didn’t make it cute for me 🤷🏻♀️
Come to my party on Saturday morning at 5pm
SUBLIME!
😇🙏🏾 the womxn and girls seen during Billie Eilish's song were all someone's Barbie 🩷 the crew that worked on the film sent in homemade videos when Greta asked. some of them still living. Some have passed on. But all perfect and strong in their own way
Had the Barbie red Corvette 🚗 ❤ and the set i could play with in the bathtub 🛁 🫧🧼 that had a little slide 🛝 i remember it was SO hard to find a Black Barbie which is why i liked Krissy or Skipper more because i could easily find those dolls that looked like me
