#barbie#barbenheimer#im sorry but its impossible to not dismiss the entire movie out of hand when it was always meant to be a marketing scheme#you cannot do the thing and subvert the thing when the thing you are doing is a green lit ad paid by the people selling the thing#so its nice that gerwig had her moment with the most hegemonic woman in the planet calling an old lady beautiful but#the movie you are making will be making good cash by selling barbie stamped anti aging products#so sadly your pro age scene feels like youre taking your audience for idiots#and yet the bar is so low that conservatives are calling this movie subversive feminist indoctrination so i dont even know anymore#subversiveness is in the eye of the beholder i guess maybe this movie managed to have its cake and eat it too#greta gerwig#margot robbie#ryan gosling
