Oh, they’re planning to ban the Barbie movie because apparently the Barbie movie used a map that promotes China’s ownership of the West Philippine Sea.

Hmmm I don’t agree banning it, maybe remove the graphic? Or scene?

Vietnam already banned Barbie movie because of the use of the Nine Dash Line map.

About the Nine Dash Line:

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.

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.)

In Barbie (2023), directed by Greta Gerwig, Ken says he wants to spend the night with Barbie because they're boyfriend and girlfriend and when she asks him "to do what?", he replies "I'm actually not sure". This is a perfect analogy to kids playing with Barbie dolls, as they know that couples "do things" but are too young to know exactly what. In this essay I will

Is this anything?

The hanged man tarot card can often symbolize wisdom and enlightenment through sacrifice. Thought it was fitting for Barbie :)

I watched the Barbie movie, it was fun!

America Ferrera was great and I love the Woman speech and I can see the strings from that speech from Little Women.

Barbie has a great marketing! Like across the board, the Best.

Also, I saw Laura Bailey’s name roll by the credits and I was the only one who loudly said: “LAURA BAILEY WAS IN THIS??”

and it makes sense for the commercial bit in the middle of the movie.

One thing I appreciate about Barbie was the emphasis on age.

I was emotional when Barbie told the old woman how beautiful she was, and when Ruth came in and helped her become human.

It was also the fact that America Ferrera was the one having the crisis that caused Barbie to do the same.

The whole concept of the toy doesn't end in childhood. Cause she is an idea; Barbie is forever. She's everything. She's meant to inspire women to keep going for what they dream. You don't age out of these ideas, they grow with you, just like how Margot Robbie grew with America Ferrera.
