I used to play with barbie and actually liked barbie movies so I was very excited and eager to watch this movie.
Majority of reviews dislike the movie because of feminism, diminishing men, or mattel horses office. But why WHY no one talks about how Barbie in the movie had some very gross explicit adult sexism and genital remarks?? It is gross to hear even for adults, making it so inappropriate to watch even with teenagers. The movie yes didn’t have sex scenes, but they so explicitly talked about genitals and stuff making it a p*orno. Sad and also disgusting.
I always believed the Barbie was about empowering girls and women inspiring them to achieve their dreams but in actuality behind this whimsical pink splash and fancy wrap and pretty girls this Barbie even denying Ken showcases sexism, heavy body perfection look that makes all watching young adult girls question their own appearance, maybe they too have to wax all body, dye hair blond and always wear heels and short skirts.
Turns out behind that fancy pink barbie wrap there is explicit adult genital sexism remarks, and girls as again sexism targets. Nothing changed in the world only that the Barbi s*lutting explicitly and advertising that herself. So much for innocent pretty doll being too concerned about her genitals in the movie.
