Barbie - MOVIE REACTION!!

hey guys cre BL way back I'm Aaron I'm Calvin I'm jansy Eric and we are here with Barbie uh in fact we're gonna be having the whole barbon Heimer thing going on because next week is also going to be Oppenheimer which is going to be great and if you're watching this on YouTube you can find it early access already over at blindwave docomo we have outfits for Oppenheimer uh I do I do um Barbie Barbie I have actually already seen this it was one of the things we did uh uh for kids birthday stuff and whatnot so got um but you guys don't believe any of you have seen it right I have not but I I kind of got the gist on Tik Tok like I tried to skip them yeah if I point hand me tissues tissues uh much like other Mattel Properties like Battleship I'm I'm I would think that this is a movie devoid of much themes and thought and we're just here to sell some toys but from what I understand that's not the case and people really uh really Jud with this movie so I'm here to see what the commotion is about this time people picking sides of stuff that like but it's a toy but what it mean why so we we'll have to discuss that on watch see like wait until they come out with like the biopic of Mr Potato Head that that stuff will really get you right here you know true story I don't know I know I'm making fun of it a little bit but I am ready to be impressed because the standards are high cuz I heard some really good things yeah all right well we get into this there is going to be a full length version you can find that over at blind wave.com just make sure you have your own reference footage uh because it will just be our reaction no no footage of that um otherwise I can't say anything else I don't want to spoil these people so let's start pink this is my kind of movie yeah oh Warner this is a movie they didn't turn in why is it rated for violence and sexual content I remember this trailer being pretty crazy so I'm I'm excited you remember a lot of the trailer yeah it had the monolith from 2001 of Space Odyssey how did he even watch the trailer the girls who played with them could only ever play at being mothers which can be fun at least for a while anyway look how much fun they're having ask your mother oh my God she's [Music] huge that girl's so cute look at her eyes are so wide I deny this [Music] baby H the bits of tea Setter going flying I hate you baby oh gosh I hate you baby I expected them to be plastic they were wow what an intro all right and that was your trailer right yeah I felt the freedom yes Barbie changed everything then she changed it all again because Barbie can be anything women can be anything and this has been reflected back onto the little girls of today in the real world the real world okay girls can grow into women who can achieve everything and anything they set their mind to thanks to Barbie all problems of feminism and equal rights have been solved that would be nice ni that's what the Barbers think they're living in Barbie land who am I to burst their bubble I like how the road spells Barbie one of those Barbies now living her best day ever in the dream house she slept with makeup she never takes it off or maybe in Barbie land there is no makeup and you just don't have [Music] Force wait I remember that from the trailer walks like that what you wearing the Barbie's feet were always like that yeah they had to fit in the low high heels I had an April O'Neal Barbie a what April O'Neal y from F Turtles whoa yeah is she Jesus oh no okay I get it this is literally the dream Margot Robbie wanted that slide that was one of their stipulations of being in this movie like I need a slide that goes to the bull that's what she that's what her toy had I have one demand and it's really weird she had it's not weird it's Barbie I think she had a second one too I think she had two I wanted a dream house when I was little I remember that I don't think I had one cow I love that's funny okay just look so good on us hey so Barbie land is a geographical location apart from The Real World what that it's not in the real world yeah it's like Toontown kind of kind of yeah she flies now that's what Barbie did you take your Barbie and you put it down in your car you know no elevators and you have to angle her just like that stairs are a waste of space on a toy they're hard to make Barbie both hands in the wheel it's driving itself it's not like she can hold it or someone else would Dy good y SP gosh all right now we know the status quo this looks like Santa mon what layers do we Ken if Barbie looks at him hi Barbie hi Barbie hi Barbie hey I didn't know he was in this did I I can I can I got us both ice cream cool oh my gosh oh my gosh that was the second thing she wanted to mermaid Barbie okay hi Barbie

Dad hi I'm kind of reminded of the Barbie and Ken from what Toy Story 2 yeah is that what is yeah there was Barb K that mhm this is the best day ever it is the best day ever and so I feel like I'm going to go crazy after tomorrow and even Wednesdays and every it's also superficial and shallow yeah it's the same Circle over and over what' you say I don't know why I just said that I'm just dying to dance all right you almost broke reality or the illusion we tell ourselves is reality she mentioned death you don't do that when we play you're busy like it's all the same Circle they say the same thing all the time and then they said something different you're like Bo what happened I'm good that's what I was expecting to happen you can go now I thought I might stay over tonight why cuz we're girlfriend boyfriend to do what I'm actually not [Laughter] sure most everything they made for the sets too Barbie's like 23% bigger than everything just like in the toys mhm good night Barbies I'm

how she looks now yep they're real in the Barbie land hi oh cool okay the sound effects yeah flat yeah I'd like to see what kind of nude blob he's packing under those jeans glob and then you're going to start getting sad and Wishy and complicated no her eyes she's getting really excited about it go to the real world and never the twain shall cross the twain is crossing yes and so the reality is not loal she must be sad and her thoughts and feelings and humanness are interfering with your dullness if you do not find her and fix things what's ugly will become uglier and what's weird will become weirder and then you look like [Laughter] me like cellulite is the worst thing in the world they don't know anything worse closer I [Music] am closer oh God what are you doing here I'm coming

years ago a woman named Skipper turned up at some family's home in Key West asked to babysit the kids she then tried to take their toddler surfing jeez I know they were able to straighten it out keep it under wraps but this is serious I had a skipper yeah that was like Barbie's friend wasn't it it was like her little sister little sister something yeah I think there were two girls little younger

patriarchy which to my understanding is where men and horses run everything men and horses I shall seek my fortune there all right you think it's a place high level high paying job with influence please okay you'll need at least an NBA and a lot of our people have phds isn't being a man enough actually right now it's kind of the opposite you guys are clearly not doing patriarchy very well no

be healthy but also you have to be thin you have to have money but you can't ask for money because that's crass but never forget that the system is rigged so find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful you have to never get old never be rude never show off never be selfish never fall down never fail never show Fear never get out of line it's too hard it's too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you and it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong but also everything is your fault and if all of that is also true for a doll just representing a woman then I don't even know I like that scene wait yeah I did write a book it's like I've been in a dream where I was somehow really invested in the Zack Snyder cut of [Laughter]

had a belly you could flip over and take the baby out oh man I remember that yeah I never own found I found one at a yard sale and I I thought it was the weirdest thing ice spice and Nicki Minaj I SP ice spice okay I thought there was a third but I do like these credits showing like all the different like there's The Growing Up Skipper I remember that Skipper too I found it weird a working video camera no the one with their her boobs grow no that one this one has it's a video camera in the front and a screen in the back was more recent actually I think that's crazy looks pan CR mhm I like that looks good against black black pink oh my God in double layered yeah I didn't know if I was going to have to change wa oh there's badley Cooper in there somewhere yeah he's the carpenter yeah it's like that like hey you want to be in this movie like yeah sure we will me do build steps hold a hammer definitely not the same but it would be funny to be in the same industry is a very much more famous person yeah like you think you're getting Bradley Cooper but it's not the Bradley Cooper calling for Restoration in La you know yeah right yeah Party of Five table it's Bradley name bradle and then he comes in everyone thinks he's lying it's the car here's my driver's license yeah like a doctor yeah who's my patient next Bradley Cooper and then just the disappointment everywhere you go yeah that would be that would be terrible actually I feel bad for that guy it's like Michael Bolton in office bace yeah Michael Bolton is that why Rick goes by Rick and not like Ricky you used to go by Ricky and Ricky Martin people made it made like they it was in the 90s so he was po like oh Ricky Martin huh Ricky get tired of it I'll Rick yeah he got sick of it I grew up calling him Rich what the [ __ ] Richard I'm going to need some Obi cuddles after that movie yeah that was I felt like I I fell into an alternate reality where this movie exists and is awesome and it shouldn't be cuz it's a movie about Barbie and it's so good what are you expecting it to be good though well I I was but I wasn't expecting to be that one point I thought this movie was supposed to happy well yeah I mean like I like it but I just noticed it's a different feeling than just negative things in the world yeah like why do why do people watch this well I guess it's like a pallet cleanser I guess for Oppenheimer I me there's problem problems in that right yeah problems in the world I mean it's for me it's like it's it's it's feeling it's good feelings and it's bad feelings it's a mixture it's a it's an acceptance and a and a I don't know just a really cool way of looking at everything should be in balance a cultural Milestone of a toy and what the toy means not what the toy uh well she invented Barbie with the intentions of it you know being you can be whatever you want girls are equal to boys you know all that but the problem that stayed in Barbie land and didn't make it out to the real world is that girls grow up and they start to experience the real world and they find out the hard way all of these other problems that life brings and sure yeah yeah and the movie shows like in Barbie land and in the real world there's this despairing gap between like here over here it's like oh this is a perfect world with the Barbies like yeah but then you also have the kins who are like where they don't have an identity where is the Ken's houses yeah yeah huh I don't know you know like they're they're they're just also there like they even start at the beginning where it's like Ken has a good day if Barbie look like when they went to motel and he's like well you still have Ken you could have Ken and he's like no you know like they need Barbie we don't them yeah like Ken doesn't exist or have meaning he's so IL defined that his job is Beach he is an accessory to take to the beach in your Malibu car and then you jump over to like the real world and you have things kind of flipped with that where like he's looking at all the men control the world here and you know Barbie is a response to this Sasha is talking about how like oh Barbie put us back and you know you set unrealistic expectations of women stuff like that you know that was a big thing there's a lot of aspects of that that she says where it's like yeah I can definitely see that for it took a long time even when I was the age to play with Barbies and stuff there were there was no diversity in Barbies at that time too you know and there were starting to Branch out into like oh the doctor Barbie and all of that stuff but I never had a Ken you know like he he was always just kind of Superfluous he was an add-on even Barbie said that in the movie right he was extraneous so it's kind of like the two opposite Extremes in the real world and the Barbie he was accessory to the Barbie and like the women are a little bit less like powerful less like accomplished it's harder to get up in the world yeah and I find a lot of hard truth when they showed that Mattel the top people in all the guys around it can I talk to the woman in charge CEO CFO Co Barbie president like all these but I had the the right goals when I started in this position so I represent you but no will FAL you don't yeah I like the uh relationship between Sasha and the mom too kind refle a lot of that too where it's like here's what we're playing and you're being here's a woman and you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up and stuff then she grows up and there's distance but there's also the connection of family and you know I used to be able to play with my daughter now my daughter doesn't want me to play with her and stuff you know I think her playing with the Barbie and that broke everything too is because when you grow up you grow out of Barbies like the daughter did you give them away they you know you stop playing with them and you forget about them whereas the mom remembered and she went back and tried to get back that age of innocence for her and you know the good times when she didn't have so much to think about and worry about on her shoulders and stuff and the Barbie she's thinking of being the kids Barbie but it's like the mom's Barbie mom's the one holding on and playing with it even when you cut back um when you watching she's like thinking about her Barbie being played with when you look at Sasha who she's playing with she has two different Barbies she doesn't have the stereotypical Barbie which is what the mom holding yeah it's such an it's so interesting to me like uh I I definitely feel like I have a a point of view of like an outsider looking in just because like in my you know I still collect toys but you know the my relationship with toys was never emulate a vocation or behavior to prepare myself for adulthood it wasn't like care for a baby or play house or be a firefighter it was always Batman and turtles and Star Wars and just I want a new one so that I have a a new Avatar to create my stories and and my imagination go crazy it was never about emulating a uh uh something like that and it is kind of yeah but but then I think about the girls aisle and they didn't really have a whole lot more options there wasn't a lot of variety and there wasn't a lot of like I also feel like commercials and how it's marketed has a lot to do with how you play with toys sure well between the toys and stuff too that's one of the main differences a lot of the girls toys often were like in the very beginning here's the baby doll take care of the baby and then it's like prend to be a mother kind of things or you end up getting like the initial Barbies and maybe they have like kitchens and they have like you know these aspects of like well when you grow up you do so it was like a step towards feminism it was trying to give girls more you know confidence to grow up and stuff and become other things and they did spearhead that you know by doing but they they stopped growing with the times at some point you know with it's a yeah it's it's progress but it's not Perfection right just like Barbie in this movie like she she isn't perfect because the the image of perfection has all these other things under it that you have to ignore to be able to go on sure it's really man it's a really layered movie I respect the H out of it man Kate McKinnon's character most of my Barbies look like yeah I had my mom used to worry about me cuz my Barbie she would come in my room and there would be disembodied legs and the heads would be off and she was worried about me like why are you like in here pulling and I was like no I was trying to play with her the way I would play with you know another girl and I want to brush their hair if they go swimming I want to comb their hair off their hair gets Tangled and I RI their heads off with the brush you know like and then like the legs thing was like well I took dance a lot so I could do the splits but when it came to the center splits Barbie's legs do not move that way and they would pop out you know so with me it was I empathize with that Barbie it wasn't unintentional I would pull them apart and then sort them by body part oh so you did the Toy Story thing where you I did the Toy Story well no I didn't I didn't put like five heads on one Coro or anything like that I just yeah I would just pull them apart and you wonder why we thought you could be a serial killer Calvin I sorted them by body part trying to move away I mean yeah yeah the Barbie in my toy box is the weird Barbie just because that's like the only Barbie that like I can't play with the nice one here take this one you know I'm like okay and I would go and make my own stories such good casting with Kate McKinnon yeah yeah and Ryan gos Ryan Gosling was I read somewhere I don't know if you've seen it too like Margot Robbie wanted Ryan Gosling in this movie and she had to make a deal with him that she would give him a present every single day of filming for him to accept it yeah and it was like little things sometimes you know just little but he got a gift every day that they filmed okay her I saw that it was on like a bucket list of hers of like meet Ryan Gosling and stuff I see I see that I loved when Sasha called her a fascist she's like I don't control the real way the flow of commer that was so funny I like I like the uh the big speech that Sasha's mom gives yeah man my favorite part like you got to be pretty but you can't be too pretty cuz then you're What dra too much ATT to like you've heard me say that too like oh I gained weight I don't want to gain I can't gain you know you want to be thin but you can't say thin you say healthy but you just want to be thin and yeah like that whole Spiel that she has that like speech or monologue whatever you want to call it is just has a lot of reflection on just like what it feels like in the real world when she's telling and then it wakes up these Barbies cuz you're like what was it all the Barbies either brainwashed or were ugly and weird or discontinued yeah those discontinued ones I I like that they shed light on a lot of these discontinued ones where it's like oh there's mij she was pregnant we got rid of her you know yeah it's kind of like it speaks to society too like like which ones were not successful you know although that TV1 is a little weird TV1 was weird yeah that's true no um mij was Allen's like girlfriend and then wife and then they had kids and they made a pregnant MCH then discon that so that's where Alan they felt like it was promoting girls getting pregnant yeah huh or something I can I can see that I guess I never really but also it it it does like create kind of a a stigma it Stig around it do because like oh no like being pregnant is wrong so we're discontinuing this yeah well it implies sex yeah right but they don't have Parts can we stay the night tonight and do what I don't know I don't know yeah so the the blow up boob Barbie was real yeah yeah it's a real Barbie the skipper Skipper grows up or something yeah okay Grown Up Skipper yep wow I know I never thought of like the intention of Barbie versus the reality effect of Barbie you know like the intention was there to broen girls minds and you know but the reality effect was all of a sudden she became this unattainable you know that you were supposed to look like she was put in a box yeah you have Barbie and it's like this Marilyn Monroe kind of figure thing and then people are looking oh that's how I'm supposed to look if I don't look like that I'm the one that's wrong not Barbie's the one that's wrong yeah and then you also are holding up gender stereotypes that are something that we create as a society not necessarily something that's inherent about being a person or a human right like this the color pink is like well that's for girls yeah sure they never change the pink yeah me too even when the even when the Ken took over they didn't change the pink you know everything was still pink still there yeah it goes both ways too it's not just about how women are treated or have to you know survive in today's world right like it's also the men too it's how men aren't taught to like yeah use their masculinity in safe and nonviolent ways sometimes but it was also like when they were manr with the decoy Barbies it's kind of like they don't have to do that they could sit down some of the tens and try to logically you know talk to them but they treated them like AirHeads you know and they like went to them to get them to mansplain to them just to do other stuff but that's not how men should be treated either you know like it's it goes both that's the one thing I liked about whenever I had seen it before was like it's not just saying like well Ken's evil yeah it's not just doing that and like Ken comes back and all the kin come back and it's like a the men have taken over and this is bad we have to fix it it's shedding more light on like well there's not there's not an equality between all right there an imbalance mid one or the other yeah yeah but I mean like you don't see until like he gives it up and then Barbies take back like how Ken really did feel like he had no identity yeah he just trying to learn about he was well the um the song that they sing the um I'm just kin song um apparently was written as a joke by the composer and then Greta liked it so much and then whenever Ryan Gosling got it he pushed for it to be a musical number in in the movie because he connected and understood it and thought that it had more meaning and the composer was like the the the meaning he took from this and the way he looked at it made it better like a lot of the lines in it or talking like he says like I'm I'm a kin and anywhere else I'd be a 10 so he's like you know I look good but all these kins look good so I don't stand out at all and he's like am I enough will she look at me like his value is completely 100% off of it's all about finding Barbie and getting her to acknowledge Him and his existence and his like all that but when brought into the real world Barbie has so many different challenges than he has like he can walk around and be like wow this is amazing and she walks around like I'm afraid yeah being the first time there was no fear there was no pain there was no aging or sickness in Barbie land you know so yeah you know it's a very this sound weird it's a very Adam and Eve story right Adam the first man created by God gets lonely so God creates for man a companion so he won't be lonely it's kind of like Ken has created forie barie yeah Ken's created for Barbie and then you have Ruth taking the god walking through the garden roll and trying to explain it more it's it's a very uh mythological story in there I really it it it should not be this good I I never seen Battleship and I made the joke but I I'm sure it's not this good it is not I also like the line where she said like mothers stand still so their daughters can look back and see how far they've come yeah that was amazing yeah yeah yeah I'm seeing my gynecologist that was a great ending that was perfect that was a great ending cuz it's so real too yeah did you know that her hair had to be tinted for every outfit she wore really just so it would keep that pinky blondness for whatever color she was wearing Mar yeah I I think she also wore like 18 wigs to the movie or something like that too Mak sense had to like tint it you want that color temperature not to click yeah I get you to turn brassy or man they probably had to think a lot about color temperature with the studio lights and how it interacts with that yeah I mean like so many bright colors and like those roller blades right like how do you adjust for all of that and so much neon they also did as much as they could practically yeah I think even the transitions from Barbie land to the real world is like a practical like filming thing like it's not like CGI on those things so like when things are moving in the background or like the birds there like it's a real bird that they have it's not like a CGI fake bird they did as much of that as they could oh yeah it was like on a string yeah I got like it looked silly and fake it wasn't it wasn't a real bird but it was physically there it was a physical real bird it wasn't flapping but it doesn't have life yeah I thought will frell's specific brand of humor matched the tone of the movie very well I think it did especially just like the over-the-top like Dy CEO the makes decisions based on money yeah generally you bring him in he changes the tone the performative inclusivity and I'm the son of a mother I'm a mother of a son I have Jewish friends what was it like like wait what I don't know if you took it the same way but like you know after when she has the conversation with Ken he's crying and he's like he came back from The Real World he's like crying's not weak I'm a liberated man or something that I kind of like that Jus position where like Barbie land froze in time so he was always under that Mas like what is it to be a man from like the 1950s or you can't cry you can't show emotion and stuff but then there was some progress made because when he did go to the real world it he discovered it is okay for men to cry it is okay for men to you know have emotions and feel other stuff well and Barbie's being played with by people too like like Ken's always going to be played not always wants to be with he's primarily being played by girls so like men in the real world or boys in the real world aren't putting their thoughts and Futures and dreams on him which is why he doesn't have that stable base so you're thinking that because he went to the real world he was liberated to be able to cry he had that cuz he he was always so tried to be the macho guy try to be the most you know like see I was thinking of it more of like because like he was liberated from the rule and all that kind of stuff from being in the patriarch I guess it could be both after the song and stuff and they're like put your manly hand in mine and I mean it's AIT it's it's both right like in moderation all of those things are good it's just when you go too far with it and obviously he goes too far with it because he's never experienced it before so he's chasing the dragon in a way and trying to bring it back to the others uh and I like the ending too where they're like the Ken can work their way up like it will their aim is to be equal you they're like can we bu on the Supreme Court like no but how about a smaller court judge and then I think it's the narrators like can work the way do that part when they're like directors no obviously this message doesn't work as well when Margo Robie to the fil person to cast I I mean it is a break of the fourth wall but it was I love good bit of like relief right before a man that speech that just guts you sure I mean the movie is already a commentary so it didn't feel like it like intruded in on the storytelling for sure and they have narration throughout different parts and stuff too yeah I know Melanie and I think her friend that when we watched it was like she's like I'm not beautiful she's like what she talking about and then they say that like okay good they shed light on it too it's not just yeah yeah exactly she's all that cuz she was never ugly to begin with movies where they cast like an actually beautiful girl and then like do her hair bad sorry gles they put her hair up right like back here or something they give her glasses and they give her baggy clothes braces yeah and then they take all that stuff off and oh look at this you cast a beautiful girl to play beautiful girl I guess the message is slightly different with the Barbie thing is that she is perfect she is gorgeous and it it's still not enough no you know like what my favorite part of it is like discovering crying and even though it's causing her pain and grief it's kind of amazing because she can finally vent feelings she didn't know that she had and of course Ken gets to do that too I like when uh look at me I like a few of the surreal moments when like she's looking at like the uh Park and she sees like these kids playing this guy's sad these people arguing these people hugging the emotions they in the world yeah and then she looks over at like the old lady next to her and she's like you're beautiful and she's like I know yeah I love the confidence I just I like that whole segment there but it it works too with like what you're saying about like she's beautiful and all this and like she she still isn't happy or whatever too but like the old yeah there's the old lady is content and she's passed a lot of those issues that as we grow older we kind of like Drop and let go and they're not they don't they don't sting as much and it's like yeah I am she's gotten that self-confidence and some for some of us it takes a lot longer than others to get yeah um the lady that played that was like an Oscar winning like uh like costume oh wow sweet something maybe she made the costumes I like a costume designer yeah like Greta apparently fought for her to stay there the executives wanted to like cut that like older lady scene out of there the best stop no that was like the best part of that I lik her like like getting that tear you know and then like looks over no man the girl who plays Sasha has been in some crazy franchises she in this movie which is the biggest movie of this year she was in Marvel and then Star Wars that's crazy yeah I don't know her name I'm sorry I apologize don't know why I feel relieved yeah after watching the movie like like they get it yeah do you guys see like where controversy or whatever came from yeah like I know like there's different people who are like I see where it came from people burning where Barbie was going to solve all ISM and create equality and all that I'm like uhhuh I mean if if if if forc to go there that's sure but I think I the thing I love the most is you you don't feel Studio interference here it feels like an artist communicating a point and it got to me I'm really it feels more like they fought to get what they wanted I'm glad to and to stay true to what they wanted the story to be but I can see like how some people out there might have be offended or like not like the way they portray Ken or other stuff you know but I think I think those people have have problems with themselves more than they do with the movie learn something and the movie Just highlighted it or maybe they're just the the people who were never allowed to cry like 10 at the end stuff and so they just like one way or another there there's a conflict there that they haven't I can see why it's controversy and there's people out there who would watch the first beginning part get to the feminism and be like nope yeah right you know duck out there's a part in the middle that if you just stop watching there you're like this what's this movie doing I can't believe what they're and they just walk out like that's not good time to end it like 17 minutes in well I think like when you get spee yeah I think if you get to the point where like they've gone to the real world and there's like you're seeing what's happening with Barbie you see K looking at him looking at like hey can I be a doctor I a sharp thing pie pin you know like I'm a man to listen to me yeah there just there gets to a point where you're just kind of like wait what story are they trying to tell here like you don't get back to the resolution in Barbie land and everything and there's not the talk about like well things haven't been balanced Ken you aren't it's not you're important because of Barbie you you can just be Ken and I can just be Barbie yeah I like the inclusion of Allan too that not all men are Ken Not all men are going to be the same you know like yeah I like him kicking a bunch of Ken's buts yeah that was that was cool once they start learning to build that sideways we'll be in trouble I don't want to say it I guess well I I guess forgive the gendered expression but a lot of these jokes just had some balls to them like the the small poox joke about how they had no defenses against this and that's why it was able to spread through so quickly like Studio Movie like that's that's a hell of a joke that generally people like War are going to come in like hey can we like not do that and maybe find something else that's why I feel like like man that's a that's an that's an artist just saying what they want I think it's also a good way of explaining what they're talking about like they don't know what a patriarch is they understand don't know the Trap that they're falling into like that's that's a joke in a movie about a kid's toy you know from like the company like Mattel's involved with this like from the company that makes the kids toy and still needs to continue to Market it to Children you know like if you make a Transformers movie but you're actually talking about the human Spirit you know like how many Transformers to sell so I I respect that at least Warner and Mattel gave Greta was the name of the director did she write too I don't know who wrote it but Margo was highly involved too okay oh yeah sure but uh yeah I don't knowbe I might be wrong and people tell me stories but it felt like a a lack of interference from the studio which it's not like Warner has the best reputation right now when it comes to I think she signed one of those Ben Affleck type contracts where she has so many movies that she can do with she wants you know something or make them the way she wants or that if she stays exclusive with Warner or something I don't know feel like I remember that being said years ago like when I was still at Warner yeah it's white savior Barbie yeah that was funny that was so good I love the choice I mean it's probably in the script but like Ken like hears that from Barbie and goes into his house Sublime yeah I was wondering what he was going to do I like when he comes out like call me read oh yeah oh after he's like scrambling and there's no door and there's no walls in the Barbie dream house you can see everything no a lot of the things too of like the misunderstanding of things is great like I I I really love when he like tries to do the cool like put the sunglasses on puts another pair on his slide down the truck like he's trying to do the cool things but he doesn't understand the cool things either yeah and I like how it was like they were both at fault Barbie never tried to understand Ken you know like it took it until the end where she was like I never realized that you have no identity yeah and that's all he wanted is his own identity right they were trying to find the same thing yeah they are and I love the way they both play the characters like I think Maro plays Barbie really well I think Ryan played his kin great I love when you be like like whenever he was like take your this and this and then he's just like he's destroying stuff and I was like it's just it's so funny it's just over the top like this too wasil hilarious oppos for I telling C there's a thing I read that talked about simu uh he did a flip when they were doing like dance rehearsal stuffs and apparently Ryan Gosling's reaction to that made Greta want to make the kin and his kin and his kin like more Riv rather than like just being just kin and friends and stuff I was like well that's funny like was his reaction to that was he like yeah you know I just wonder I mean all that training that he did with the Shan Chi like the intention even in that theatrical play fighting they were doing like all the intention was still there and the lines in the body relative to the camera like it's all it's a muscle that he's just flexed a lot recently you know like it's like the dance fight yeah me too I love the dance fight it's weird to say this but this is like a award-winning movie for me it's up there no it's definitely good yeah really good yeah and it's Barbie and it's commercially something I've never played with no it has deeper meaning than just being like here's a here's a show about a toy you know it's not like it's like a it's like when you watch Toy Story and you're like oh it's kids toys com to life going to be about and like really stuff in this you know you get a couple movies in and you're crying like oh no so no it's it's done really well covers some important themes and stuff too and just sheds light and different things while also I think honoring what the idea for Barbie is supposed to be and what they're trying to do for Barbie yeah Point having the Creator's character in there it it helped highlight like the intent behind it but then also admit the flaws mhm that it cre it got out of her hands it got away from her like cuz she created it for her daughter you know she's not going to aim for this sexualized version of a woman you know for her daughter and stuff it was the corporation took over right like flat finish yeah you're breath I woke up with bad breath flat feet I love all the fake stuff too in the Barbie world they do the milk and the drink and you want some sparkling water and it just pours water in her face oh I'm not used to that having anything in it the milk being expired just with a stamp of expir on it and stuff and when they throw the clothes it like freezes like a Barbie clothes ading yeah like a commercial yeah that would be ads or it' be like in the uh in like a newspaper on and and have a little circle with like like new whatever Malibu Barbie you know bathing suit or whatever it is yeah just funny a lot of them were reminiscent for me like cuz i' I had a lot of those especially in the end credits and stuff some of those I remember those distinctly and I know I had a skipper babysitting Skipper or Growing Up Skipper or regular sker I think and then there was a younger girl too who was supposed to be her youngest sister I don't remember her my sister used to collect Barbies and stuff she used always be mad cuz like she wasn't allowed to open them like she was collecting them that's what my mom was like like to she would want me to collect them like she would never get me the Holiday Barbie cuz she knew I would take it out of the box and rip its head off and his legs would probably pop off at some point then I had the that's another thing too when you talking about toys and stuff like boys in the boy toy aisle would be like Nintendo like that's where that started being instead of it being its own thing so it's like this is a boy toy M so like I had video games and my sister had Barbies that she couldn't open yeah all right we want to see the He-Man movie next right I wonder what that would be like which one very different great movie uh the feeling that I got from it is not what I expected and then the ending is great the ending when when there like I want you to understand what you're looking at um apparently it's all cast and crew like real footage of like people that worked on the movie A that's good so like whenever she's seeing like the bowling and the kids playing and all that kind of stuff too like that's that's old footage from like family members and stuff of the cast and crew so it's it's done really well and has like that Slice of Life like what is this meant to be those were the moments that I was like just tearing up on on its own yeah not they don't even have to say anything now next time we watch op Hummer I won't be here for that problem hey everybody thank you so much
