Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling is a box-office hit for good reason
A Barbie film featuring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling and directed by Greta Gerwig surely came as a surprise to everyone following its announcement. However, months since then and a number of trailers and promotions in between, it seems like Mattel’s almost-two-hour advertisement featuring some of the biggest names in Hollywood worked to perfection—”Barbie” just recently grossedMinor spoilers ahead., the perfect Ken, simply stole the show.
From a visual standpoint, the film does not care much for realism and perfection. At times, the background used, or the scenes with Stereotypical Barbie floating down from her dream house looked as if it came straight out of the 2000s, albeit, beautifully done. After all, the film is literally about a fictional world; there’s no sense in limiting themselves to boring reality.
“Barbie” understands the unlikely pairing they have on their hands; a film that is trying to explore and deliver messages of feminism, identity, and purpose, through the use of a well-established IP from a company that arguably does not really care much for these.
The most memorable of these jokes however, was when Stereotypical Barbie was lamenting about how ugly she had become, the narrator played by Helen Mirren, butted in, stating that this point could be driven better had they not cast Margot Robbie in the first place.At face value, “Barbie” seems like a feminist movie. It is, there’s no denying that, but it’s more than that.
