The Barbie movie isn't about girl power. It's not about how women can do everything they set their mind to. It's about how sometimes women are tired and average and that has to be okay too, because you don't have to do everything to be worth anything. (And that this is also true of men.)
sorry ur boyfriend got brainwashed by the patriarchy. yeah he thought that it meant horses run everything. sorry.
Saw Barbie. More horse themed than I expected

Barbie (2023) really had Barbie say “hey. I know the reason you hurt me is because I hurt you. I’m sorry I hurt you, because you didn’t deserve that. I know you are a better person than this, and you are fully capable of being that person. I can’t change the past, and I don’t think we can be in each other’s lives anymore without hurting each other, but i am sorry and I want you to be happy. I want you to find your identity and love yourself and live.” and then she realizes she’s also talking about herself.
she’s saying “I deserve to live. We both deserve to live.” it is one of the kindest things I have ever seen done to someone and to themselves in any piece of media ever
One thing that tickled me about the Barbie movie was how Gloria's husband is (imo) a 'Real World' Ken.
We see very little of him in the movie. In both of his scenes, he's trying to speak/learn Spanish. He does nothing important or if consequence in terms of the plot... But he's trying to learn a language his wife and daughter speak. He's not excelling, I'm not even sure if he's succeeding. But he is kensistently trying.
For all of the 'Real World' men who are antagonists or opponents to Barbie, El Esposo de Gloria (as he is listed in the credits) has true Kenergy.
Also, props to Allan???
He's a doll most people have never heard of. He got discontinued forever ago cause he was perceived as gay by consumers and they didn't like that.
But I love that he had an actual role in Barbie. He was very queer coded, yeah, but he didn't like when all the Kens turned to Patriarchy. He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to abandon Barbieland all together. He knew it was wrong.
And then he helped the Barbies get themselves back. He had a pink jumpsuit and sunglasses and went out all stealthy to get the Barbies in the van. He even voted at the end to keep the constitution the way it was.
Big Allan fan over here.

go watch Barbie
So the barbie movie happened 😭😭😭😭
there's just something inherently holy about a girl vibing alone in her room
i want to see barbie again but i honestly do not think that i can handle it 😭 it's sososososo good but it left me with the grossest sense of existential dread and I don't really know which will win out
just came back from the cinema and seeing everyone there dressing up in pink or pastel to go and see Barbie is so amazing i feel like I'm witnessing a real moment in pop culture history
“The idea of a loving God who’s a mother, a grandmother— who looks at you and says, ‘Honey, you’re doing OK’— is something I feel like I need and I wanted to give to other people. If I cut that scene, I don’t know why I’m making this movie.”
