In my opinion, Barbie is the role Margot Robbie was born to play. Yes, her as Harley Quinn is iconic, but Barbie has surpassed that for me. She's the glue that holds the film together, even during moments when it doesn't completely fire on all cylinders, delivering a wonderful performance that allows her journey to become something more to play out in a believable manner.

[@dantebudi9016]

Agreed! People tend to focus more on the comedic aspect of the movie that is Ryan as Ken and that kind of overshadowed their perception of the movie, but if it is not for Margot’s pitch-perfect nuanced performance as Barbie, the movie wouldn’t have worked.

Allan was 'Ken's buddy' and he fit all Ken's clothes. He was later rebranded 'Alan' as part of 'Happy Family Midge and Alan' . Almost all of the dolls were real dolls--Depression Barbie, Weird Barbie, and Stereotypical Barbie--being the outliers. That pooping dog? Real. The dad is the real-life husband of the actress playing the mom, FYI, and the kid, Sasha, and her friends are styled after the Bratz dolls. ETA: This movie is really a love letter to adult women. My twenty-three year old son thought it was great but he went into it knowing it wasn't a kids movie.

36:32 Billy, my friend, that's how women feel all the time.

I say this with all the respect in my heart but the point is that women are Barbie and Barbie is the embodiment of the expectation for our perfection. Not conforming to a Barbie standard is seen as a failure by men in society even when the failure to conform is something the woman can't control.

Bratz and Barbie nerd here!

Which *never* happened before) because the creator initially pitched the idea to them in the 90s and Mattel rejected it. He then went to work for MGA and the rest is history. In fact, Mattel actually tried competing with Bratz by creating MyScene that came out a year after Bratz did in 2002.

Yeah, I got the feeling that this was a nod to him being "Malibu" Ken, but I'm not sure about that. Just as with Barbie, the original doll made his debut wearing only a swimsuit. From Mattel's lore, he is named after founders Ruth and Elliot Handler's son, Ken, and met Barbie on the set of their first television commercial together, where it was "love at first sight." Clad in just red swim trunks with a yellow towel, he was listed as her boyfriend, according to promotional box inscriptions from his debut until 2018. He was always branded as Barbie's boyfriend, and though Barbie and Ken aren’t officially engaged or married, wedding clothing and gift boxes have been released since the 60s so that children could play that they were marrying because it has always been expected (until recently) that little girls are supposed to dream of getting married. Mattel released a statement in 2004 that Barbie and Ken had broken up, but they were reunited in 2011.

about the razor burn/irritation: make sure you’re exfoliating before shaving, don’t shave until you’ve let the hair follicles open up by using hot water (either in the shower or soak a dish towel and let it sit on your skin for a minute), change your razor every 2-4 weeks depending on how often you use it (it gets dull which irritates the skin), make sure you’re using shaving cream and if you already are then make sure it’s actually working for you and not adding extra irritation, and use a fragrance free moisturizer after you’re done. hope that helps :)

[@BillyBinges]

More than you know gabby!! ❤️

[@nidhipatel6446]

Just adding to this, you can get some great chemical exfoliators (as opposed to scrubs) that should really help! From Target, you can get the Pixi glow tonic, or if your Target has an Ulta, The Ordinary brand has a glycolic acid toner or a lactic acid exfoliating serum you can use at night, maybe once every couple of days or so. You can also use a scrub but depending on how sensitive your skin is, it may increase your irritation, especially if you already have razor bumps.

Sea Breeze astringent helps as well after fresh shaves. Brace yourself…my hubs says it stings some. But he never has a skin issue around his shaving points.

This movie is basically a tribute to Ruth, the creator of the barbie. And she named it after her own daughter, Barbara aka barbie. The ending is just that, a tribute to Ruth, which is why they said thank you, because in real life, Ruth passed away. As a kid, we play with barbies and Ken's and had our own little things that we would do, having them put on concerts or whatever you felt. So it intertwined everything from how we were young, to growing up and getting older.

MILLIONS, millions of people saw and loved this movie, it is a bona fide classic and a HIT, and to this day is still considered to be probably THE best filmed adaptation of Austen's "Pride and Prejudice." It was Colin Firth's breakout hit movie role, I believe, and was even lovingly referenced in "Bridget Jones' Diary" complete with a scene from the miniseries (it is a miniseries, not a movie) being included. It's kind of a parody because "Bridget Jones' Diary" borrows a lot from that story and Colin Firth plays the romantic lead, AND his character's last name is once again Darcy. Trust me, MOST women of a certain age have seen and loved that movie, and it's a great one to watch when we need our faith in love and romance to be restored.

People who say this movie is about hating men or anti-motherhood either didn't get it or have not seen it. It's a commentary about how women are viewed as less than in the real world. But the message is not that women are superior to men, it's that we're equal and each have a purpose. Barbie doesn't just exist to look good and Ken doesn't just exist to be by Barbie's side. They are both worthy of happiness and love as individuals. And America Ferrera's character specifically says that it's okay to "just" be a mum. You don't have to have a career or choose between a career and being a mum. Plus the pregnant Barbie was a real Barbie that was discontinued because people thought the idea of it was funny seeing as she didn't have a vagina. Speaking of, the ending with her going to the gynecologist, now that she has a vagina, is actually genius. Margot Robbie is fabulous as always but Ryan Gosling just took it to another level!

I'm not sure this has been said yet, and haven't finished the video at this point. But I just wanted to say that this is not a kids movie, it's rated PG-13. When you see the trailers and read the title Barbie you would think "movie for kids", but it's not. Barbie was created to help show that women can be and do anything. And today, women are not really looked at with respect. Yes we are able to vote and rights were given to us, and we can do any job we want. But we are still looked at like objects to a lot of men. That is what I think this movie is trying to do. The ending of this movie when Barbie is with the creator and she closes her eyes and opens them, along with the women speech at weird Barbie's house made me cry. I felt seen when watching this movie.

Barbie saying the woman at the bus stop is beautiful and the woman knowing it.

Many men tend to gloss over the movies message about how women are treated in society and their experiences. Not because they are mean or don’t care but because it’s hard for them to relate to it. So they tend to focus on the humor of the movie instead

Alan so real 😂 every time Michael Cera was on the screen I was happy. But yea Alan is a real doll that was married to Midge, the pregnant Barbie. So many easter eggs in the movie and it was so fun going to see it with a group in theater. Didn’t know where the movie was going but still enjoyed it. The cast was packed and amazing.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but during the production of this movie, there was a global shortage of pink paint, because of all the pink used in the sets. That said, pink is actually one of my favorite colors. As for the razor burn, cool compresses, don't scrub it, or anything. Astringents, like maybe adding apple cider vinegar, or tea tree oil, or witch hazel can help. Also, oil, like coconut, olive, or avocado oil, can soften the skin, to help it a bit. As for avoiding it, you should definitely try to get a skin routine. Shave after showering, or washing the area, so the hair's soft from the water. Always use something to soften the skin, like an oil. Add exfoliation, so that there's no skin to force the hair to remain underneath. Use rubbing alcohol on your razors to sanitize them between uses, too. Rinse with cold water and moisturize after shaving.

Honestly, when my own parents were complaining about my siblings seeing Barbie and the amount of children in the theater. I looked at them like they were the crazy ones because the movie IS NOT INTENDED FOR KIDS at least not without proper pre-knowledge and/or parental supervision. I wanted to say “WELL ITS PG-13 WHAT DID YOU EXPECT!?” Because it is. They weren’t supposed to be in there anyway. They knew it was probably gonna have mature themes occasionally. So to the people complaining about it, that’s on you, and that’s on Period 🤷🏽

[@bulletsandbracelets4140]

I think a lot of people were expecting the movie to just be typical feminism, but it's actually a humanist movie about a doll XD which I thought was brilliant! Like you caught in the bus scene, she saw the beauty of humanity and the real world and the emotions that come with it. And she felt real connection with other real people too, so it's likely she'd never have been happy as a doll, knowing there was more out there. Change is scary, and life is scary, but the montage at the end shows that the joy and love you get to feel in life makes it worth it. That's why she chooses to become human rather than stay. "I want to make ideas, not just be one" It's definitely a movie for my age group, since younger kids don't play much with barbies anymore. At least not the way they used to! I feel the demographic was millennials, those of us growing up in the 80s-90s and early 00s. (Though some outside of that probably did enjoy it too) Enjoyed seeing your take on it though! Allen def deserved more respect, best dude in the movie.

[@amcp2078]

It is 100% a feminist movie though... Like, criticizing the patriarchy and it's negative effects on EVERYONE is one of the focal points of the movie, just as it is the focal point of feminism 🤔

[@bulletsandbracelets4140]

@@amcp2078 It isn't just a feminist film is my point. There are a lot of themes around feminism in the film, obviously! But all of them focus on women not feeling like they are enough just the way they are, and that connects with Ken's struggle too. Feminism and humanism are intrinsically connected, so it's neat that they tied the two themes together into one movie. Basically - I agree that it's a feminist film, but appreciate that there's more to it. It isn't just "feminism 101" like some people complain.

Billy reacting to Barbie wasn't a want but a need

[@gray7433]

I watched Barbie in the theater and was sitting next to a woman with a teen-ish girl. My sister and I laughed through much of the movie, as did the woman with the girl. The girl would ask the woman "why's it funny" and she would say "it's just funny". If that's not a good gauge of who the movie is for, idk what is.

[@FeatheredWingz]

Yeah, I had a pregnant Midge doll! The belly was removable; held on with magnets. And a tiny plastic baby was inside that you could take out. The baby was scaled to fit in the crook of Midge's arm and she could be played as either pregnant or a new-mom (ironic, considering the open scene of the film, now that I think of it). Both Midge and Allen were introduced in the 1960's to be the "youthful & sporty teen" look to contrast Barbie & Ken's "mature fashion teen" look. The pregnant Midge was a 2000's release of her. Midge & Allen are supposed to be paired together. But Allen is rarely re-issued. And Midge hasn't really been re-issued until very recently, since her pregnant version caused such a pearl-clutching uproar lol. Anyway, the costume, set, and props department were on fire for this film. You can tell they were thoroughly enjoying immersing themselves in the Barbie lore & bringing it to life lol.

I mean ken was literally created to be an accessory to barbie...he wasn't really marketed as a proper doll himself so despite how everyone in barbie land is praised for what ever their job is this is a line drawn to not include ken despite how the barbies said he was great at beach just because he's a ken which I kindof get why he'd be upset...the kens are seen as superfulous even though they have just as much ability to be anything as the barbie's do..but just where never taught they could. heck even in real life there ARE kens with better jobs like doctor ken or veternarian ken but little girls arent going to play with them since they are kens and mattel only treated barbie like a proper doll. you know he lowkey thought beach was stupid and not a real job but the barbies told him he was great at it...but then don't really celebrate/include the kens the way they do other barbies...i mean mattle was probably relying on how everything else in the regular world would show how guys can do a bunch of stuff too....but it does touch on how littel girls and little boys get kindof separated or pick up they arent suppoused to play certian things together. honestly I lowkey picture it as kids playing barbies together but the one kid who brought the ken doll doesnt get allowed to play in the dream house no matter how they try to awkwardly ask or hint they want to be included more since the other kid has no interest in any romance subplot despite agreeing ken is the boyfriend..which puts ken in a 'other' box than normal friends which just increased ken being excluded..and then the kid who owns the dreeam house leaves the room and returns to the kid they had been uncontiously excluding... havimg taken over the dream house out of hurt and refuses to give it back until the 'plot' the kids made lead them taking the barbie house back and talking about it where the kid who got excluded admits they didnt actually like excluding them back and had just also wanted to play in the house TOGETHER.

✨For the beard/shaving✨if this is a problem that has been with you for a long time, it could be a condition known as “pseudofolliculitis barbae”. It’s where your hair’s are so coarse and curly that instead of growing out, they grow *in* and it causes irritation, inflammation, bumps, etc. One of the best solutions is to grow out your beard or use an electric razor (leaving the cut not quite as short which helps ease the irritation). Any kind of AHA or BHA skincare is also known to help tremendously! Love your videos and the laughs you bring 🩷 from Michigan

So yeah this movie is mostly for adults who grew up with Barbie aka millennials and older. But also an introduction of Barbie to the newer generation. While there is some light or funny moments, this is a movie with a message. Take whatever resonates with you and of course people will have different interpretations of the message. Alan is REAL.. he’s Ken’s best friend, but his doll I guess didn’t sell as much so it got discontinued. Which is a similar story to Midge aka pregnant Barbie, many parents at that time didn’t like the idea of a pregnant Barbie. Which is funny because even before Barbie, didn’t kids pretend to play house and use baby dolls as their actually babies? So…but I guess the image of Barbie was different at that time. Even though Barbie ended up having a “family”… be it with Ken or not. Also the different ethnicities of Ken only happened recently or at least the updated versions of them. 😆 Margo’s Barbie got tired of the Barbieland and like she said in the end..she wants to be a person who comes up with the ideas/imagination..NOT BE THE IDEA. She knows the difficulties of the real world, but still decides to go to the real world. She became HUMAN..she’s not a doll anymore.

Honestly it was probably for the best that stereotypical Barbie and Ken broke up. I'm assuming since Margot was in the first ever barbie outfit at the beginning, Ken is the original Ken as well. Ruth Handler (ghost grandma in the movie) originally named Barbie and Ken after her own children, Barbara and Kenneth (that's why Barbie takes that name in the end). It's very very very weird to name a dating couple after a pair of SIBLINGS 😬. And yes Billy, Ruth and her husband lost control of Mattel because of tax evasion lol
