To be fair this movie was a bit too forceful with the message in the second part. I do agree with the message but it was literally shoved down our throats.

[@hannahhudson9335]

@@jakubgodyn7413The message for men was literally to find their own worth and value without relating it to women or in the service of finding a gf/wife/partner. It’s a great message for todays men/boys where a lot of the podcast bros try to convince them that money and women are to use as disposables, or that they should only better themselves in the service of money and getting women. Men are Kenough as it it’s. It’s Barbie AND it’s Ken.

​@@jakubgodyn7413 I am a middle aged man, and I say, with total respect (maybe) this one BARBIE movie shoves it down our throats? the second half shoves its message "down your throat"?? as opposed to something happening like someone trying to "grab 'em by the pu**y" which someone did. our former president did this. and bragged about it. and is now paying millions of dollars in damages because of "grabbing someone by the pu**y", this movie shoves down your throat as opposed to the 82 cents a woman makes for the $1 every man makes, as opposed to roe v. wade being taken away after 50 years of precedent, the recent ruling in Alabama, a 10 year old girl getting pregnant from being raped, yet couldn't get an abortion to save her own life in her own state because of these new restrictive laws they just passed? a bunch of old men passed these laws about women's body autonomy. -how about that for shoving something down your throat if you are a woman in America, as opposed to the 2nd half of the BARBIE movie for you. (??) there are no current laws that restrict any procedure or any action for a mans body. nothing. men are free from this equation. yet, it takes both the sperm and the egg to create this precious baby. that means the male and the female created this half and half right?? -why does the woman have to go to jail only. why isn't the man arrested like the women are being arrested?? that baby is half of the males creation. (in the case of the rape of a 10 year old girl I would say that baby is maybe even more the males responsibility than just half-come on?! This is the world every day for women-yet the BARBIE movie's second half shoved it down your throat? you poor thing. god love you. what do you do when it rains? or when the wind blows really loud? it must be just awful for you. do you walk around with special packaging around you so you don't accidentally get broken? think about getting pregnant from being raped at 10 years old if you want to think about something shoved down someones throat. and don't even try it. it is all part of one thing. they are linked. they all come from intolerance and a fight for power. which is what you are describing and illustrating with your comment. make no mistake,. we see it.

[@nehankhan1584]

Fun fact: When Greta Gerwig went to Mattel about Ken, they had a similar reaction to that in the movie. They didn’t care what they did with Ken. Only focused on Barbie.

[@wwaxwork]

That's what gets me, all the idiots out there saying that the movie was Anti men, yet the men in charge didn't care about Ken, Greta was the one that thought Ken deserved a storyline and some personal growth too.

Fun facts about the film! 1. There was a pink paint shortage due to all the paint used in the film 2. The old lady next to Barbie at the bus stop is Ann Roth, an Oscar-winning costume designer and a friend of Gerwig's 3. The montage of woman at the end were home videos sent in by the crew of women they admired. 3. One of the women shown in the montage was a woman named Kimberly. She passed away a year before the film came out and a friend of hers got to interview Greta where he tells her about Kimberly and how he appreciated seeing his friend one more time.

Ok, the fact that the Barbies literally Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss their way back into a matriarchy HAS to be done ironically.

[@bespectacledheroine7292]

Barbie choosing the real world (The patriarchy over the matriarchy) is pretty significant in that sense so I would have to think so. She would rather work to become an equal than being granted privileges within her original society. Even when that world is "fixed" is it really? I do believe the movie asks these questions pretty obviously.

[@marslara]

I almost thought it was weird until the line "One day the kens will have the same level of power in that world as women do in the real world" and then I think I understood why they purposely went back to the matriarchy instead of going the equality route. I think it was just the final nail in the coffin on the themes of the movie 😅

[@Connor-ONeill]

So the Ken's will get to become doctors, lawyers, mayors president's and the like? Fair enough.

The earinging Ken is sometimes referred to as gay Ken. Due to when they were trying to make more outfits for ken, they would go to clubs to see what men where wearing but during that time it was alot of gay people who they saw and the necklace that ken is wearing is actually supposed to he a pp ring, because that's what gay men where wearing at that time. This ken was the most sold barbie doll of it's time before it was recalled because they found out that gay man where purchasing it due to his fashion being the gay fashion of its time.

[@bespectacledheroine7292]

When they have all that empty stage to dance on during Ken's big number it's a big ol' homage to a similar sequence in Singin' in the Rain and that's what I love most about Barbie, it's full of moments like that of paying respects to the classics but at no point does it feel like it steals from them like so many movies do, it's extremely modern and classic at the same time, like any great movie. I adore it. Barbie speaking with her maker at the end is such a Truman Show-esque moment and it's glorious. A creation becoming a person is such a beautiful kind of story to tell....

The Ken that’s next to the Sugar Daddy doll (I think) was based off what they thought was hip fashion (in a bid to make Ken more appealing), was based off gay night club outfits.

[@bravobytz1820]

Allan was an early released doll along w Midge. On first release the cover of his box had looked a little... gay. The box art mimicked the Midge/Barbie box but the image of Ken behind him "Ken's clothes fit him" looked too gay for the 50's customers and he was almost immediately discontinued. They made a brief revival of the doll in the 90's w a backstreet boys look and that didn't help lol. Once again they stopped making him. Thats why they make the boy band joke. All thats left in barbieland is the OG Allan. My mom actually has an Allan doll lol. The doll looked a bit like Archie from archie comics.

[@bravobytz1820]

The clothes are a sort of real. Most of the outfits are straight out of barbie doll history even using thicker fabrick to mimic the stiffness of doll clothes. As for the rest most barbie clothes are based on real fashion lines so they went back to those original clothes that the doll clothes were based on.

Back in the 80s, the barbie for boys was G.I Joe, Real American Heroes. We also had Ninja Turtles, Voltron, Power Rangers.. list goes on.. And instead of Polly-Pocket boys got Mighty-Max.. he had a hat that could teleport him to places and had adventures, so you'd have what looked like a coiled snake that could just about fit in your pocket, and you'd open it up and it was a jungle scene to have your adventures in.

[@MoviesR4Life1]

Mighty Max also had a super great show the toys where awesome but sadly I lost most of the pieces but still have the main "world" parts still umm I Believe I have 4 still 😂🤔

[@redwolf9966]

For the question of “They’re All Barbie?” So Mattel did come out with many Varieties of Friends for Both Barbie & Ken (Allan and Midge for example were the First Friends and Friends that were also a Couple they Had) There are Many other Friends like Christie, Theresa, Nicki, Kira, Becky, Ryan, Blaine (Barbie’s Australian Ex funny enough), Steven and so much more she even has Cousins too. But what I think is the Reason they’re called Barbie is because the Barbie dolls that are sold now are mostly just Packaged as Barbie on the box and you kinda don’t see many lines with names of Barbie’s Friends on them that much anymore. Also think they just called them all Barbie cuz it’s easier instead of them all having individual names. *Edit:* so towards the end when you were looking up if Barbie’s are expensive it depends on the doll, like the Discontinued ones some of them sell (if In the box with all contents can go up in price value sometimes), not all Dolls from certain lines but some can be Valuable, in some cases the doll can still be valuable without the box and sometimes not depending on the Specific doll like some of the Discontinued and Cancelled.

[@LangkeeLongkee]

They still sell the named dolls but the named dolls they sell only show up in other media if that makes sense. So they sell dolls from Barbie movies where she's playing a character and Barbie shows/movies where she's still Barbie. So Theresa for example is still sold as Theresa because she's still used as one of Barbie's friends a lot. I haven't seen the newest Barbie series though I've heard it very good, they sell her friends from that show too.

Once, I slid a skirt down on to my thumb, and forgot about it there for a while. When I was eating dinner, my family suddenly called out, and drew attention to my thumb, which had turned purple. I panicked, and was told to take it off immediately. I thought I was going to lose my thumb, but it's still there and perfectly functional today!

[@zeroknight4517]

this is such an important movie. Especially when Barbie says at the end she doesn't want to be an idea, she wants to deliver ideas. This is such a projectile of a woman seen as a "product" or idea, but in fact (many) women want to do stuff and also inspire. Ken realising he doesn't need stuff (not even other woman) to accept him as who he is... that's how every human should see himself. Ken was also designed as a Buddy or a couple part, because Barbie was getting too independent and it was unheard of to have a female role model being on her own (without a man/husband/boyfriend etc). It was also never Barbies fault Ken didn't have anything other than her, since her world was designed for girls and they wouldn't play with a Kens house or anything :D which applies to the company sacrifying Kens individuality for profit. You don't need cars or a coat (or other people) to define you for who you are and you never shouldn't fall for all the commerce shit telling you "this is what you need". That's why you also can rip off the patriarchy, but ofcourse the system won't let you.

As for "Magic Earring Ken"... he was designed to be "fashionable", but the designer didn't really understand what he was doing. He thought he was co-opting club fashion, but he was actually co-opting gay fashion, and the ring he thought was an earring was actually a cock ring.

Ruff unintentionally stumbles on the fact the patriarchy already made all the movies about boys toys lmao.

[@MoviesR4Life1]

[@danielanjos1986]

[@ambergr1smarch]

im expecting yall to cry cuz im bawling my eyes like insane when the first note of "what was i made for" comes on

[@ellehcimbelle]

Now I need to see them react to 2001: A Space Odyssey since they got none of the references in the beginning scene lmao

[@MediaLoverChris02]

I loved watching this with you guys! If you haven’t seen them, you should watch all the Jurassic movies (all 4 of you)

[@thecluckster3908]

I loved the movie so much, cried twice actually. I think it’ll probably at least win a few Oscar’s and it deserves it.

Ryan Gosling had to learn Roller Blading.

Erik is fresh, love it.

Oh my god yes the rubbery clothes! I was told when I was little I accidentally swallowed a Polly pocket’s head. I think I was 3 when it happened but I feel bad for her.

[@lindala2602]

I keep forgetting that Polly Pockets grew bigger after my time (feeling old)

[@lka9900]

Can confirm. Polly Pocket was a very big deal.

People collect Barbies and the discontinued ones are very valuable, especially in the original boxes. I worked a Christmas at a Walmart in Oklahoma City and we got a carton of Malibu Baribies and one of them had her swimsuit top above her boobs, in the box. We kept putting her in the front and conservative Oklahoma customers kept hiding her in the back. I finally bought it and we had a dirty Santa family thing and my teenage nephew ended up with her. I don't know if she still has it. He is 50 now.

Digimon is actually a spin off of Tamagochi aimed more towards boys. Some Digimon are also canonically Tamagochi, like Nanimon whos Oyajitchi, and others like Digitamon, Wizarmon, and Belphemon Sleep Mode have the Tamagochi eggshell apart of their designs. Within Digimon canon (Tamagochis own continuity is different) the Tamagochi world is a "Digital World of another dimension"

I had a Polly Pocket yacht and it was incredible (and I generally didn't even like playing with dolls), justice for PP!

[@ColinTedford]

Re: the "other toys" discussion at the tend, one thing that makes comparisons a little harder is that Barbie has been around for so long. There aren't many in that category, and maybe none with the same cultural weight.

[@Grf1556]

I love 2001 a Space Odyssey, which the beginning of this movie is parodying.

[@ilovemyfriends32]

I absolutely remember chewing on my Polly Pocket’s clothes 😂
