people with channels like these deserve the fricking rope
as do you for watching them, do you really value your time so little?
>movie created by a woman
>coherent

I read some anon post where the author wrote it first and foremost for her desired message (Toxic masculinity bad) and then tacked on a bunch of lolsorandum gags. Who knows if its true but it sounds like it
The "toxic masculinity" stuff can only happen with the Kens (women) revolting against the Barbies (men) controlling everything. It doesn't even make sense if "men bad" is supposed to be the message. The "patriarchy bad" doesn't make sense either because the Barbies are treated as a heroic for trying to make their world dominated by Barbies again. Nothing makes sense.
It's trying hard to sit on the fence while being feminist.
The message is buy Barbie Doll and only girls can play with Barbie but they also hide messages weird girls and the LGBT can also play with Barbie.
Does a movie have to tell you how to think? If so, why?
Movies don't need to tell you what to think, but they should have some kind of thought behind them. This movie acts like it has a message, but has nothing to say.
Its message is that it's funny that Ken dolls are still on the shelves when nobody wants to play with them.
Honestly, there really isn't one. It soft-balls every assertion, and moves on to the next one before you can question it.
Pulling off depth and entertainment simultaneously is why Paul Verhoeven is a genius.
being girly is fine but being a dude its also fine. truly a work of art
It's AGP kino so the message is that you should transition.
It's a comedy movie. Idk what you were expecting.
Ok, if it's a comedy, where were the jokes? For a movie that has no subtlety, it hides the jokes well.
Autistic people usually have a hard time picking up on humor
There's one every five minutes on average. They're not particularly deep or witty, so if you missed them you're too fricking stupid to have them explained in text.
It doesn't hide them at all. You just miss them because you're an idiot.
where were the bloody jokes?
It's secretly an incel movie about Ken learning to love himself and not require the affection of a woman to have self worth except that he needs the woman to explicitly tell him this but y'know whatever
the message is that my wife margot has very cute feet
The message is that Barbie toys are an important and good thing that everyone needs to love and buy and play with.
I watched it high on mushrooms. Honestly lots of pretty funny parts. It’s just about women having an identity for themselves. Sure the whole speech with the Barbie’s about women empowerment was an eye roller but otherwise it was pretty creative. Without the Ken storyline it probably would have been boring. People really get there personality invested in movies and tv too much.
You're Kenough. Stop simping. Live for yourself instead, King.
The Goose was unironically the only good thing in this
It's feminist propaganda.
>wearing a kennough t shirt right now
it's a shit movie and i stole this from target
The movie was pretty straightforward, in the end Barbie is given the decision to be a homosexual doll or a mother and she chooses motherhood. The movie pokes fun at the absurdities of both extremes and is basically a centrist comedy that endorses Barbies decision to wanna be a wife and mother. I enjoyed it, not sure why everyone got all fricking mad about it. Great performances by Margot and Gosling.
Yes: that Ken is fricking kino incarnate.
If you want a serious answer, the goal was clearly to talk about the struggles of being a woman and how in the end you need to take control of what you can in order to make beneficial changes for "society" (see: your group. A very tribal film).
What's funny is the Barbies "win" by throwing the Kens back in their holes and give them just barely any power when before they had none, retaining 99% of what they had. Sure, the Kens are morons, but do they even have homes? "Who cares!" says Barbie President. Not a very good community, but what the Kens had was unsustainable as well.
You can take the movie in several different ways. How you take it is a reflection of yourself and has nothing to do with what the filmmaker 'meant'.
Ultimately it was made to sell Barbie dolls and other merchandise, and people seem to either forget that or ignore it.
? How was it not coherent? It's probably the most in-your-face movie this century.
it felt like the writers wanted to write a deeper conflict more focused on the world they created but corporate meddling forced them to dumb it down and hamfist the feminist stuff in even more than what was originally intended (like it was obviously always going to be a feminist movie but it got a bit silly at times in the final product)
there were multiple parts where I noticed bits of dialogue from Ken that felt like they were the leftovers of an abandoned script that focused more on the fact that the Kens are basically an asterisk of a race created to be nothing more than accessories to the Barbies
I enjoyed it for what it was even if I cringed at lots of lines, but it really reeked of the writers wanting to write a deeper story but not being allowed to go that far into it so they can maintain a universal appeal
All I cared about was watching Margot Robbie wearing cute clothes.
You actually thought there was "controversy" lmao. You stupid frickin clickshit-guzzler
