A Summary of Barbie Movie Reviews
Jersey has graciously summarized hundreds of reviews of the Barbie movie.
The Barbie movie, directed by Greta Gerwig, has become a cultural phenomenon. It features Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, and it depicts their journey from the perfection of Barbie Land to the real world. The film has become a box office success, grossing over one billion dollars worldwide, and even setting records for Warner Bros.
Critics have lauded the film for its unique and unexpected approach to the classic toy story. Instead of being a simple children's movie, it has been praised as a “cinematic triumph” and a “miracle movie.” It's a film that movie theaters dream of and has become a cultural juggernaut. Barbie is described as “meta,” appealing to film critics and political theorists alike. The film is rated PG-13, indicating that it's not exclusively intended for younger viewers.
A significant theme in the film is the role reversal and exploration of gender norms. Ken, raised in the ultra-femininity of Barbieland, finds the real world an undreamt-of paradise where he can finally be treated the way he always knew he deserved. Meanwhile, Barbie experiences the real world differently, finding it not as perfect as Barbie Land. The film also introduces heavy topics such as racism and poverty, challenging the reactionary right wing of the ruling class.
The Barbie movie has also stirred controversy. It includes a Snyder Cut joke that angered fans, and it was banned in Vietnam over the infamous “nine dash line” dispute. Despite these issues, the film continues to be successful, with plans to re-release it in IMAX theaters with unseen post-credit footage.
The Barbie movie has also received praise for its soundtrack and cast. The film stars notable actors such as America Ferrera, who plays Gloria, a mother and Mattel employee from the real world who helps Barbie find her true purpose. Ncuti Gatwa, another star in the movie, has revealed that he overcame his “imposter syndrome” thanks to filming with Ryan Gosling.
In conclusion, the Barbie movie has transformed the classic children's toy into a cultural phenomenon that challenges societal norms and explores heavy topics. Despite its controversies, the film has achieved significant success and continues to impact viewers worldwide.
