I’ve been watching films for a VERY long time (at least three years). So i have gathered quite the expertise with films. HOWEVER, I cannot say I have ever left the cinema speechless before until I watched Barbie. I left the theatre a new man.
As a man, i related to the struggles of Ken (both of us are very handsome, strong males in society but we know our place). But as a feminist this movie also stood true as relatable and also entertaining exploring these themes of womanhood, independence and what it means to be a MAN!
One of the best films I have ever seen, it is not just watched… IT IS EXPERIENCED! I laughed, I chuckled, I giggled. It pulled on my heart strings, I shed two tears (I am a strong man and therefore saved my weeping like a baby until after I left the cinema). It was alright. Nothing to complain about.
I never understood the attraction to Ryan Gosling originally after he did La la Land (granted I haven’t watched it). However, after the life experience that is the Barbie movie I do now. Margot Robbie as well reminds me that I am not gay, as much as Ryan Gosling tempts me.
I believe there are many things in life that everybody should experience, such as first kisses, moving out, getting a job, falling in love even. The most most important life experience that I will lay out for the future generations is to watch the Barbara Movie.
Thank you.
