HA! gynecologist, like vagina? it's a gina cologist, get it? like gina davis? get it? like drinking with the fine gina? for all the tea in gina? one small step for man, one gina leap for all mangina?? like ames and the gina peach?? jack the gina slayer?? ?
It's about her growing up into a real woman.
If you don't get the underlying message of the movie, when it spells it out for you in such a simple way that little girls even get it, then you're a brainlet and should stick to watching Michael Bay slop.
The movie was good. Get over it.
I have sex regularly, I'm just not so brainwarped by vaginas that I need to base my whole personality around liking it and defending everyone who has one
What a lying homosexual, lol. Nothing makes a man hate women more than actually interacting with them. I loved women until I finally had sex and got a gf. Then I realized how awful they actually are.
You know I thought he was trash, but honestly upon review, maybe we've been a little biased here. He churns out trash, but he also creates some great stuff.
>anon I… AGREE! The Rock is kino in all his roles. I loved the two new jumanjis and the river cruise movie he was in! He is also great in fast and the furious and every action movie he stars in is an absolute blast!
Well thank you anon, I’m glad we agree on the fact that the Rock is the greatest actor of our generation and we’re looking forward to all his future projects!
Come on, bro. Michael Bay movies have moments of pure, undiluted kino, Even something like Transformers: Age of Extinction mogs Barbie purely on a cinematic level.
>It's about her growing up into a real woman.
It's not about that at all, though. The movie is actually very unclear about what it's underlying message is. So when you say >it spells it out in such a simple way
I'm even more confused.
I'm neither, it's just hard to understand what the movie is trying to say. I don't think the film makers had a very clear idea themselves, and since they didn't have a very clear idea themselves, it was of course impossible for them to convey it to others.
What it's trying to say isn't difficult to pick up on. The problem is that it's a very lopsided film where it really doesn't bring home it's central point until the final few scenes and up until then it's very easy to assume it's "saying" something else, especially if you spend all day every day crying about "woke" this and "feminist" that. But it kind of has to be lopsided for it's characterization of Ken to work. Spend any more time outside of the independent feminist woman realm and it inevitably becomes a film that's more about the Kens or at least portrays Ken in a much more traditional manner and this isn't supposed to be that kind of movie.
The filmmakers know that over 50% of the population are fatties who are miserable.
Since feminism is “just be yourself and the world has to accept you for who you are” [which leads to loneliness and unhappiness], they can’t comment on that directly. The audience would actually be happier and have a better life if they strives to be in shape like Barbie dolls.
In short, feminism was a mistake, but it’s crucial to Democrats being in charge, so they’d rather keep the lie going than understand how detrimental it has become.
my roastie blue eye blonde aunt was telling me how much she loved this slop and how it was so funny some teens in front of her watching it wouldn't understand the vagina scene. Margot looks old AF and busted
Ok fine I'll explain it to you brainlets since you don't understand: Visiting the gynecologist is a must for women, but for little girls it can be daunting and a difficult experience the first couple of times. Seeing Barbie doing it after "growing up" normalizes it for them.
How hard is that to understand?
>circumcised men constantly need "dick doctors" aka urologists for all the nasty infections and problems their lack of foreskin causes
ftfy anon, sorry a chunk of your dick is missing
Lmao what sort of bullshit is this ffs. A 5 min conversation with young women from their parents is all that is needed, the Barbie movie is not an instruction manual for women and their vaginas. Holy fucking saviour complex.
Yes Mrs Barbie, it's vital I suck my fingers repeatedly during the exam. Relax, Ma'am.
> now just a quick prostate exam and we… *ugh* should…. *UGH* be done here *HMMPH*. Ok I’m just going to hold your hips with both hands so the probe remains in place
Barbie is an excellent example of a movie giving the fans what they want.
People who actually care about Barbie (women consooomers) want validation for their feelings of inadequacy by reassuring them that even attractive successful women have the same struggles, and that in any case it’s not their fault.
Oh and that all women actually have each others back so relax sister. You got this!
Did the movie make sense? Not to me it didn’t. It felt like a bit of a mess and every time I thought I could identify a coherent theme or thought, it was immediately undermined by subsequent events.
But this movie wasn’t for me. It was black panther for white women, and it strongly resonated with its target audience.
If I had to pick a problem it was in the marketing, which was a dishonest flood-the-zone approach that tried its best to pretend this was *the* movie of the summer and that there was something in it for everyone.
The sigma grindset memes with gosling on social media. Do you think those were organic.
I went to see it because the promotional materials suggested that Ken would have a satisfying arc too, and this is obviously not the case.

A few years ago I went to the doctor for a checkup and he had to touch my balls.
I hate when that happens.
I've hated it since childhood.
I'll never forget one time when I was in my mid-teens and the doctor inspected my junk and said >There's some fat there
And I said >They're big?
And he said >No. Fat.
And I never forgot that I had fat balls.
>and he had to touch my balls.
They don't "have" to. Some just do. Usually because they're fag doctors. You got serially molested by fag doctors trying to turn you into a gay.
Don't do it. All these threads are for exactly this, tricking stragglers with FOMO. If you aren't a women or some beta that does what he's told, don't give them money/attention. They literally hate us bruh.
What was the catalyst for her wanting to be human? The first time she experiences human emotions she becomes inconsolably despondent and then Ugly Betty gives her a speech about how much life sucks. There was never any inclination that she wanted anything other than to go back to her idyllic life in Barbieland and get things back to normal.
How can going to the gynecologist be a right of passage for women if any homosexual in a dress can be considered a woman (as endorsed by the movie itself)?
>white women don't have families and attack your brothers >white men accept your world being destroyed
seems pretty much simple
The movie literally starts by girls who are playing with baby dolls to be subverted by the giant Barbie and turn to smash their baby dolls.
This is suppose to show the message of the Barbie doll. The israeliteess who created Barbie said it was a feminist product to replace the traditional baby dolls that girls used to play with, and to teach girls to do other things instead of families >Ruth Handler watched her daughter Barbara play with paper dolls, and noticed that she often enjoyed giving them adult roles. At the time, most children's toy dolls were representations of infants. Realizing that there could be a gap in the market, Handler suggested the idea of an adult-bodied doll to her husband Elliot, a co-founder of the Mattel toy company. >My whole philosophy was that through the doll, a little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman has choices.
Ruth Handler in the movie returns to tell the character that Barbie played an part in 'liberating women' aka motherhood
>Handler suggested the idea of an adult-bodied doll to her husband Elliot, a co-founder of the Mattel toy company.
This will always, and forever, be the funniest part of this entire story.
The woman had a good idea, sure, but what did she do? Just casually mention it to her HUSBAND, who just so happens to casually be one of the FOUNDERS of the biggest toy companies on the planet.
Really fucking "empowering." What a crock of shit.
The craziest part about this movie is the fact that they know if it's not a pretty girl saying something, no one is going to pay attention, and then insists upon itself to do so while being "tongue in cheek" about it
This slop would've been way better if Ken won at the end and Barbie understood Barbieland is doomed and she has to "grow" and become a woman in the real world.
Basically same movie and ending but without the dumb part of "saving all Barbie by spewing bullshit & nonsense at them"
This is not about her changing from a girl to a woman or a rite of passage. It's a gag about how as a doll she had no vagina but presumably got one when she became human. It's supposed to make you go "HAHAHAH WHAAAT ah man what a movie"
I feel horrible for giving that writer way more credit than she deserves.
I thought of it more like "You can wish for your dream to come true, you can wish to become a real woman in the real world -- and that means you're going to have to bleed out of your vagina every month." In a kind of cosmic, "everything sucks no matter what you do, so do the best you can" kind of way.
I went to see this with my girlfriend. In the kinoplex hardly anyone laughed at all except some black girls in the front row.
My girlfriend didn’t really like it, either. We had a talk about it afterwards because I thought it was more feminist propaganda (and specially the 5 minute rant scene about how bad women have things)
It has 2 layers. Bottom layer is for the average western woman who actually and unironically thinks she is being oppressed by having a secretary job that pays 6 figures that has so much free time that you start drawing barbies to kill time. The second layer is for anyone else with an IQ higher than 80 that won't spend 2 hours watching a movie about a female toy and try to find hidden meanings.
>ITT: anons seething about the pay-off from an earlier joke where barbie explains neither her nor ken have genitals
I can’t believe the simplest joke in the film has been this triggering. Go ahead, tell me you wouldn’t want to know how your dick works if you randomly woke up with one having not had one for the previous thirty years of life.
My friend said that she'd never seen a movie before where the jokes were exclusively for women and only women laughed and how freeing that felt.
Crazy how up until now all movies have been made for men.
If you are even slightly triggered by women, you won't get the movie. You have to transcend them and be able to truly laugh at them, which zoomers and young millennials can't do because they have been dominated by women all their lives and told that women are better. Because the movie in fact is way gayer than people give it credit for. Which is to say, it mocks women. That is, until the very end scene, when in true femmoid fashion it hedges it's bet and decides it wants an implied traditional ending with the happy intact family driving Barbie to a reproductive health check.
It's accurate, but the film doesn't pull its final twist until the last minute or so. In a way, it's like saying Fury Road wasn't feminist because the women fuck everything up in the end, but you're still watching a movie full of feminism, no matter how you cope. The truth is that Barbie is visually a feminist/gay movie that triggers man-babies but also contains kernels of truth about what women actually want and what they know will make them happy (and what they want is fairly traditional).
But should they be going? Like supposedly we're not supposed to get our arseholes fingered until we're 40 (and then get them fingered every year)
Does anybody know any women and can ask them?
I dunno what it's like in your socialized medicine Bongoid shithole but in America our prostate exams can be performed by blood test now. No finger. You'll probably be getting that technology soon as that's how this thing works. As for women, they probably should get felt-up and poked but honestly women are just frail by nature. One of the most eye-opening things I learned once I started understanding women better is that they're all constantly fucked up by something and if they're not as much its usually just due to superior genetics and living in rural small towns. Modernity just hits them harder physically and psychologically.
They go to get out on birth control, so they can have sex with lots of men and ruin their chances at a happy future.
Data doesn’t support feminism.
The more sexual partners a woman has, the less likely she is to stay married and have happy relationships.
Women with fewer sexual partners report higher levels of satisfaction with life.
She's getting her pussgina checked out so she can be a mom. The whole movie whenever it's not about Ken is about finding fulfillment as a woman through being a mom. The main conflict is driven by Ugly Betty losing her sense of self worth because her daughter was growing up and drifting away. And then when Barbie becomes real the first thing she does is get her reproductive plumbing organised. Undeniably the film inextricably earth's what it means to be a woman in being a mom. >B-but the narration at the start
Is at the START.
>>B-but the narration at the start >Is at the START.
It's also tongue-in-cheek, just like the later scene with the daughter who is sperging about Antifa buzzwords. The narrator is being sarcastic. I think a lot of the criticism and reaction is literally ESLs who can't pick up that it's not serious.
It's just a funny joke to end the movie on because it implies she only received genitals after becoming a human, it's not any deeper than that you retard.
she became a real woman, its Pinocchio. Also the joke is you think she's like going into her big new executive job at Mattel or something but it's really the pussy doctor.
when barbie and ken were roaming the real world the movie remained kino but the second they came back to barbieland the film turned to shit, to a underscriptible level
>Doesn’t start a business >Doesn’t direct a film >Doesn’t write a song >Doesn’t become a doctor >Doesn’t become an airline pilot >Goes to see a gynecologist
This movie is terrible, but it’s actually based, and basically admits that feminism is a dead ideology, and women were much better off not working, voting, or doing anything other than raising families.
Kind of funny how heavy-handed the movie is with the "Barbie needs to be a depressed, underachieving career woman" theme but the new Barbie cartoon on Netflix is about her finding a pegasus and magic dragons and shit.
Ngl, watched it and thought it was ok. The first and last 15-20 mins are kino as well as some select bits in the middle.
There were quite a few themes which if they had been explored in depth would have made it kino.
E.g. The concept of enlightenment and the fact that once you have been enlightened it's difficult to go back to your previous life (see space odyssey and matrix references), mortality and the fear of death being a driver for self-development. These link in with the idea of adam and eve and the garden of eden. Eve is created from Adam, bites the apple and convinces Adam to. They're both cast out and although they have a new perspective on things, it comes with a cost. In this case the roles are sort of reversed as Ken was created after Barbie and struggles to find an identity for himself outside of that (especially in a matriarchal society). He goes to the real world and comes to the realization of what he could be but also realizes it isn't as easy as it looks. Ken's story is about the female struggle for equality but it's also about finding peace internally rather than trying to validate yourself through external influences - another type of enlightenment. Themes of enlightenment are also seen when the Barbie's are freed from their brainwashing.
There's more I could write on this but I don't really feel like it anymore. Plus it's been a few weeks since I saw the movie now. I will say that the feminism stuff in the middle of the movie hits with all the subtly of a sledgehammer. That's the main thing that makes the movie only decent. It's like two different people wrote the beginning and end vs the middle. A shame. Maybe the writers felt it would come off as bland to most audiences otherwise.
I mean it's a pretty basic template but that's the point. My point was that it was almost executed really well. I dunno why but I feel like it might have been a too many cooks situation where someone messed it up.
It's just feminist slop
Lose virginity
>I am insulted sir, clearly you just need to worship my genitals more
Open your legs then
I really don't think you want that.
>says the fucker so inept at getting women he tried becoming the girl he could never get
make me
highest grossing movie of 2023
chuds lost
Lost what?
still kino, it doesn't pretend to be anything else and ironically puts a gloss on barbie which feminists have shit on for decades, it is femkino

the problem with this movie is that it's actually incredibly sexist and not feminist at all despite trying to hard.

actually, it's pronounced with a hard g.
It's about her growing up into a real woman.
If you don't get the underlying message of the movie, when it spells it out for you in such a simple way that little girls even get it, then you're a brainlet and should stick to watching Michael Bay slop.
The movie was good. Get over it.
Yes, another useless whore.
>UGH! UGH! UGH! GET OVER ITT GODDDUH
I'm a man, but I've also had sex. Maybe that's why female positivity doesn't scare me.
The movie was FUN and GOOD!
I have sex regularly, I'm just not so brainwarped by vaginas that I need to base my whole personality around liking it and defending everyone who has one
same. But I don't have to base my whole personality around hating it and hating everyone who has a vagina.
I liked the movie anon. Thats all
>I'm a man
Debatable when you simp for women
He's a man. A basedboy man, but the xy is there
That's definitely why
>female positivity
You're braindead if you can't understand what this movie does.
youve had sex with a DUDE cause youre GAY
What a lying homosexual, lol. Nothing makes a man hate women more than actually interacting with them. I loved women until I finally had sex and got a gf. Then I realized how awful they actually are.

Having relationships with women made me more misogynist, and I mean that unironically.

But they mentioned earlier in the film they have no genitals, so why would she be at a gynecologist? How did she grow a vagina?
Deus ex machina.
She became a real girl by wishing to stay in the real world.
Meh b8.

dark of the moon is unironically kino
Come on, bro. Michael Bay movies have moments of pure, undiluted kino, Even something like Transformers: Age of Extinction mogs Barbie purely on a cinematic level.
>It's about her growing up into a real woman.
but that clashes with the "barbie is an idea" speech at the end
It really fuckin wasnt, we didnt need a 10348304th movie about WOMAN JUST BE URSELF. White women, especially, have life on fucking easy mode
>this is a feminist monolith, chud!!
>*brought to you by Mattel(R)*
>It's about her growing up into a real woman.
It's not about that at all, though. The movie is actually very unclear about what it's underlying message is. So when you say

You being too retarded or triggerable to get the film isn't the fault of the film
I'm neither, it's just hard to understand what the movie is trying to say. I don't think the film makers had a very clear idea themselves, and since they didn't have a very clear idea themselves, it was of course impossible for them to convey it to others.

This slop would've been way better if Ken won at the end and Barbie understood Barbieland is doomed and she has to "grow" and become a woman in the real world.
Basically same movie and ending but without the dumb part of "saving all Barbie by spewing bullshit & nonsense at them"
Bunch of Alans itt
alanbros... why wont she fuck us? why are they into disgusting kens?
This is not about her changing from a girl to a woman or a rite of passage. It's a gag about how as a doll she had no vagina but presumably got one when she became human. It's supposed to make you go "HAHAHAH WHAAAT ah man what a movie"
Well that's embarrassing. For me and for Gerwig for intending that
I feel horrible for giving that writer way more credit than she deserves.
I thought of it more like "You can wish for your dream to come true, you can wish to become a real woman in the real world -- and that means you're going to have to bleed out of your vagina every month." In a kind of cosmic, "everything sucks no matter what you do, so do the best you can" kind of way.
shame on me I guess
>woman think about higher things for even a brief moment challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
>it felt like everything had to be hidden
something something right about women
Who doesn't feel embarrassed about their body as a teenager? At least for a little bit.
is OP the final line of the movie? pathetic.
I went to see this with my girlfriend. In the kinoplex hardly anyone laughed at all except some black girls in the front row.
My girlfriend didn’t really like it, either. We had a talk about it afterwards because I thought it was more feminist propaganda (and specially the 5 minute rant scene about how bad women have things)
Why does Barbie know nothing about the real world except for what fascism entail??
they know nothing about our world yet their olitical system is strangely the same as ours, odd
>This was considered a 10/10 in world of wall street and the big short
It has 2 layers. Bottom layer is for the average western woman who actually and unironically thinks she is being oppressed by having a secretary job that pays 6 figures that has so much free time that you start drawing barbies to kill time. The second layer is for anyone else with an IQ higher than 80 that won't spend 2 hours watching a movie about a female toy and try to find hidden meanings.
braindead maid barbie was the best
>What are you doing? You're a man!
>ITT: anons seething about the pay-off from an earlier joke where barbie explains neither her nor ken have genitals
I can’t believe the simplest joke in the film has been this triggering. Go ahead, tell me you wouldn’t want to know how your dick works if you randomly woke up with one having not had one for the previous thirty years of life.
it was shit
My friend said that she'd never seen a movie before where the jokes were exclusively for women and only women laughed and how freeing that felt.
Crazy how up until now all movies have been made for men.
My wife said it was fun but she loved way more turning red
Your friend is a zoomer who doesn't remember Vagina Monologues or soap operas
Barbie dolls have no genitals
But she wished to become human, so now she has genitals
If you are even slightly triggered by women, you won't get the movie. You have to transcend them and be able to truly laugh at them, which zoomers and young millennials can't do because they have been dominated by women all their lives and told that women are better. Because the movie in fact is way gayer than people give it credit for. Which is to say, it mocks women. That is, until the very end scene, when in true femmoid fashion it hedges it's bet and decides it wants an implied traditional ending with the happy intact family driving Barbie to a reproductive health check.
hmmm
It's accurate, but the film doesn't pull its final twist until the last minute or so. In a way, it's like saying Fury Road wasn't feminist because the women fuck everything up in the end, but you're still watching a movie full of feminism, no matter how you cope. The truth is that Barbie is visually a feminist/gay movie that triggers man-babies but also contains kernels of truth about what women actually want and what they know will make them happy (and what they want is fairly traditional).
>gynecologist
Do young girls go to gynecologists? Or are the writers betraying their age?
I know girls in their 20's who claim they've never been and wont go.
But should they be going? Like supposedly we're not supposed to get our arseholes fingered until we're 40 (and then get them fingered every year)
Does anybody know any women and can ask them?
I dunno what it's like in your socialized medicine Bongoid shithole but in America our prostate exams can be performed by blood test now. No finger. You'll probably be getting that technology soon as that's how this thing works. As for women, they probably should get felt-up and poked but honestly women are just frail by nature. One of the most eye-opening things I learned once I started understanding women better is that they're all constantly fucked up by something and if they're not as much its usually just due to superior genetics and living in rural small towns. Modernity just hits them harder physically and psychologically.
They go to get out on birth control, so they can have sex with lots of men and ruin their chances at a happy future.
Data doesn’t support feminism.
The more sexual partners a woman has, the less likely she is to stay married and have happy relationships.
Women with fewer sexual partners report higher levels of satisfaction with life.
Where do you download movies from now, anon?
1337 and piratevay, but i'm sure there Must be some other source
Will try them, man I miss rarbg

>movie ends stating real women have vaginas
cool it with the transphobia greta
have u been never to a gynecologist before
No straight man should be watching this movie by himself.
*Tentatively raises paw*
What if he did?
Watched it for /our guy/ the goose, no regrets, he was great.
>becomes real woman
>goes to the gynecologist to get her pussy checked
Wow, didn't know Greta was such a TERFstacy. Meanwhile trancels defend this based movie a full force
trans women can go to the gynecologist bigot
Honestly the real feminist ending would have had barbie going in for an abortion.
>Men are... LE BAD
the end of the movie is the Barbies (women) giving the Kens (men) more control in their society. Why would they do that if 'men are bad'?
She's getting her pussgina checked out so she can be a mom. The whole movie whenever it's not about Ken is about finding fulfillment as a woman through being a mom. The main conflict is driven by Ugly Betty losing her sense of self worth because her daughter was growing up and drifting away. And then when Barbie becomes real the first thing she does is get her reproductive plumbing organised. Undeniably the film inextricably earth's what it means to be a woman in being a mom.
>B-but the narration at the start
Is at the START.
>>B-but the narration at the start
>Is at the START.
It's also tongue-in-cheek, just like the later scene with the daughter who is sperging about Antifa buzzwords. The narrator is being sarcastic. I think a lot of the criticism and reaction is literally ESLs who can't pick up that it's not serious.
It's just a funny joke to end the movie on because it implies she only received genitals after becoming a human, it's not any deeper than that you retard.
she became a real woman, its Pinocchio. Also the joke is you think she's like going into her big new executive job at Mattel or something but it's really the pussy doctor.
wait
so the meme ending that Cinemaphile talked about was true?
unbeliavable
when barbie and ken were roaming the real world the movie remained kino but the second they came back to barbieland the film turned to shit, to a underscriptible level
>Doesn’t start a business
>Doesn’t direct a film
>Doesn’t write a song
>Doesn’t become a doctor
>Doesn’t become an airline pilot
>Goes to see a gynecologist
This movie is terrible, but it’s actually based, and basically admits that feminism is a dead ideology, and women were much better off not working, voting, or doing anything other than raising families.
What do women go to the gynecologist for? Why do they have to go?
Pussy re-tightening
>get called a fascist
>start ugly crying
Do women really? It is such a nonsensical insult I would just laugh it off
It was feminist, anti-relationship propoganda. I found it's messaging to be fairly obvious
Saw many trannies being mad that Barbie getting a real body with a vagina at the end is "transphobic" cuz a vagina doesn't make you a woman kek
wall hit imminent
>all those age spots on her neck and chest
Kind of funny how heavy-handed the movie is with the "Barbie needs to be a depressed, underachieving career woman" theme but the new Barbie cartoon on Netflix is about her finding a pegasus and magic dragons and shit.
you just know
Ngl, watched it and thought it was ok. The first and last 15-20 mins are kino as well as some select bits in the middle.
There were quite a few themes which if they had been explored in depth would have made it kino.
E.g. The concept of enlightenment and the fact that once you have been enlightened it's difficult to go back to your previous life (see space odyssey and matrix references), mortality and the fear of death being a driver for self-development. These link in with the idea of adam and eve and the garden of eden. Eve is created from Adam, bites the apple and convinces Adam to. They're both cast out and although they have a new perspective on things, it comes with a cost. In this case the roles are sort of reversed as Ken was created after Barbie and struggles to find an identity for himself outside of that (especially in a matriarchal society). He goes to the real world and comes to the realization of what he could be but also realizes it isn't as easy as it looks. Ken's story is about the female struggle for equality but it's also about finding peace internally rather than trying to validate yourself through external influences - another type of enlightenment. Themes of enlightenment are also seen when the Barbie's are freed from their brainwashing.
There's more I could write on this but I don't really feel like it anymore. Plus it's been a few weeks since I saw the movie now. I will say that the feminism stuff in the middle of the movie hits with all the subtly of a sledgehammer. That's the main thing that makes the movie only decent. It's like two different people wrote the beginning and end vs the middle. A shame. Maybe the writers felt it would come off as bland to most audiences otherwise.
Forgot to mention it also follows a pretty classic hero's journey template. Pretty decent writers were probably involved.
I mean it's a pretty basic template but that's the point. My point was that it was almost executed really well. I dunno why but I feel like it might have been a too many cooks situation where someone messed it up.
>barbies manipulate the kens' romantic feelings to achieve a political victory
aint boys silly?
>exploiting feminism as a marketing strategy
that's another theme for the sequel
Barbie was made to take money from roasties and give it to rich white men. It succeeded.
she's got a great smile
