Overview
Barbie and Ken are having the time of their lives in the colorful and seemingly perfect world of Barbie Land. However, when they get a chance to go to the real world, they soon discover the joys and perils of living among humans.
This film is amazing because it can be consumed on so many different levels. While at first it might seem that the backdrop of a kids toy would be restrictive, Gerwig and company used it has a giant canvass that allowed them to go in any direction that they wanted. I must have had 10,000 thoughts while watching this movie – I look forward to re-watching it with pen and paper. There is one thought that I couldn’t shake as I watched the movie. Its a shame that the culture war crowd attacked this movie as they did because it really is a beautiful story, if you want it. The movie wasn’t trying to put down men, it was trying to lift up humans in general and young women in particular. If you find this threatening, you might want to re-examine your beliefs.
