mannn i still think the most disappointing thing about the barbie movie is how it had the bones to be such a good movie about accepting your human flaws and growing up and getting older and the harmful societal expectations of aging and how they affect women. and just overall a fun and touching commentary on being human through the eyes of a doll. but then they watered it down with facebook level muddy feminist writing and jokes about indigenous genocide. like what happened
#genuienly my favourite part is barbie sitting on the bench realizing how messy and beautiful life is#and seeing the older woman and realizing that beauty isnt just Barbie(tm) and that she can be so much more#i feel like if they focused more on barbie existential crisis and less about making the Feminism super obvious they would have made a bette#feminist movie#imo the first third and last third of the movie feels like what it shouldve been but the middle is just not great#also the commentary on mattel just felt weird when its a movie produced by mattel???? why didnt they just pick one thing to write about
