Not to sound incredibly pretentious but I am genuinely concerned with how "strong visual aesthetic" is becoming conflated automatically with "good movie". Like the nightmare scenario is that movies just look pretty while saying absolutely nothing

#vio.rant #yes this is about barbie #like literally what did it truely say about feminism #like what did it contribute? that people should be a person outside of their gender? that there are double standards for women??#and THAT is radical and groundbreaking????? like it was a fun movie but it did not get snubbed lmao #it just was mattell's pr movie that quoted literally every canva hashtag instagram feminism graphic out there #like greta gurwig is a good director this was just not her best work at all. same goes for margot robbie #like sorry i just was not tuned into barbie's story arc at all.#also im just keg got a nom because it was. just the best song in the movie? both story incorporation wise and writing #ive always kinda felt that they uh prolly shouldnt have given ken the only musical number in a movie about barbie but eh thats what they did #but yeah. i feel like people only like it bc its v pretty (which. the set design is INCREDIBLE) but thats not the same as a good movie yunno #maybe thats just where cis people are in terms of gender theory which. that is unfortunate
