If you really want a good movie about forging your own destiny, look at Across the spiderverse.
Barbie, like a lot of movies today, made me wish for another top gun. Not just because planes and guns go brr but because it was a good movie for the sake of entertainment. Didn’t need to say a thing about anything. If you really want to pass the message on that life is what it is and being yourself, don’t muddy the water with telling people how it is, or should or shouldn’t be. I liked the movie, but in my eyes it fell hard cuz it fed in to that.
