bechdel test ... passed!?

And that the two ultimately enjoyed an insightful and informative exchange following. I wasn't sure how it was going to go either, but the three ended up communicating with different hats than I'd expected and I was enthralled in what they think and had to say.

👏🏼

i adore this comment

Margot is Cancerian, who can make for brilliant, empathetic leaders with high Emotional Intelligence.

Sorority is the best!

No, they are actually very dumb about reality.

I hope you have great fun watching the movie ,Sir.

This is so cute!

into weird barbie. Lmaoo. I adored barbie with all my heart (im a girl)

How nice to read your comment. ❤

This made me cry a little 😢. Thank you for sharing this ❤

Wow… you just took me down memory lane. I grew up with Barbie in the 60s & 70s. I had Skipper, Barbie’s friends, the townhouse, the pool, the sports car, the camping set and probably more. Can’t remember if I ever had a Ken doll🤔. Thank you!

I think that talk was mostly about Barbie's proportions and that she was feminine. But you can be feminine and a feminist. I think that the proportions of the doll was more the parents concerned that the kids paying attention to it. I'm sure there were some who did want to look like Barbie, but not as widespread as it was made to believe. Weight and body image issues wasn't just caused by Barbies, it was a whole culture.

I know someone who has an old barbie

Wasn't the barbie figure a copy of a Gernam sex doll? Its almost an identical copy.

@@gethelp6271 "sex doll" is not an accurate description of the Bild-Zeitung "Lilli" doll that Barbie was copied from. Lilli was a character doll, based on a cheeky, provocative character in a comic strip in the Bild-Zeitung newspaper in the 1950s. Today she would be more along the lines of a Funkopop or something, Lilli wasn't intended to be a plaything, but a 'gag gift' or a novelty gift, which would have a primarily adult male audience. The comic strip character was risqué by the standards of the day, kind of a 'gold-digger' archetype, but the doll was pretty tame all things considered. There wasn't any detailing of the naughty bits or anything like that, Lilli was much like a Barbie doll in appearance, even if the construction of the doll differed significantly. Barbie essentially took this overtly sexualized male-gaze archetype and turned it into an innocent teenage fashion model character, but the first iteration of the doll especially looked quite similar to the sultry vixen that was the original Bild Lilli doll.

Margot is the producer

@@forevertruth1206 She hired herself.

@@sienkiewiczmonika1161she didn’t. She came to greta with the idea and said i don’t care if i play Barbie, i just want this done right. And greta made the decision to cast her. Check yourself!

Do you know how the movie starts? 6-7 year old kids, bashing and slapping dolls, calling them "babies" and saying "now we don't have to be Mothers!!!"

Haven’t seen Promising Young Women. Thanks, ima have to check it out.

@@gamingtonight1526cool, on a metaphorical level can relate.

@@gamingtonight1526 You need to get a grip

It’s a misandrist movie

Agreed! The world needs more interviewers like her.

Orwell would be proud

I had the exact same thought

This is Sarah Ferguson, she's a prominent Australian Journalist who has release 3 critically acclaimed docuseries, headed Australia's leading current affair for 3 years, has grilled Prime Ministers of Australia and other countries as well as other prominent politicians in Australia on hundreds of Occasions, and is leading the top current affair program on Australia's public broadcaster. She is really one of the most impressive journalists in the whole world.

That's really great to hear about her reputation - will look out for other interviews with her

As the Mattel CEO says in the movie ‘No one cares about Ken’ And that’s exactly how it should always be 😂😂

They create the worst misandrist movie

The movie is misandrist.

Kkkkkk😂

⁠@@CristanioPeweyyy nope the movie hates only on men who disrespect women, not all men 👍

@@mangoshakeyumm Not true. They do not respect men. They respect simps. They hate men. When women disrespect men its okay. That is your logic.

what scary thing?

​@@alicia8577How is it possible that you need this explained to you?

Yeah, I got no idea what you’re on about

What scary thing??

I also don’t know. I don’t know because no one had told me. Can you?

Excellent points. This film is little more than an overrated, over-promoted, very expensive advertising campaign for Mattel's products. The sickening thing is that it's lauded as a feminist message. It's a narcissistic corporate promotion that further degrades people it is directed to - both men and women.

@@Ana-Karina virtually all movies are simply meant to be entertainment - "Barbie' is no exception. Anyone who objects to it's content is welcome to boycott it.

@@wylierichardson-tu6zs Why would anyone want to bring even more unmerited attention to the film by boycotting it?!

@@Ana-Karina Um, the only alternative to boycotting "Barbie" is to buy a ticket to see it.

@@wylierichardson-tu6zs When I initially considered the word boycott in your earlier reply, I thought you meant a loud kind of public protest. If you meant a quiet, personal refusal to watch the film, I see that now. As for the film simply being entertainment, we shall have to agree to disagree. Thanks for your messages :)

We must have watched a different video then because Greta was stuttering and not making any sense in her responses. This film will tank,only blue haired,unshaved pit,467 pronoun using freaks will watch it hence 0.0000005% of the population.

I hear its man hating

@@poocrayon4588 they said in this very video that's not what feminism is, nor is it what they do in the movie. They said it lifts up everyone

@@fyrewanderer2802 What they say and what the movie really is are two different things. I heard its super man hating and based on Margot Robbie banging on about patriachy thats what I'm now expecting. I have no clue what the other one was waffling on about, she seemed high.

@@poocrayon4588 Not really, if all the movie is showing Ken as a victim and an "accessory" to make a comparison about how some people see women. If you don't replicate those behaviors I don't see why it would affect you in the first place

The human ego is core problem and the fact some people glorify it instead of work to transcend it is what is problematic.....

I think that being good enough does not mean that all sorts of behaviour should be accepted. It means that first of all one should accept the true, deep self. So some kind of ego free love for oneself without identifying with form or things. Once you accept and love yourself you are more resilient against negatives from the outside world and stop judging them . Just like Ken had accepted his true self and stopped the crazy behaviour. That gives you the power to remove yourself from unpleasant situations or to express the way you want to be treated (and the way you do not want it) without making things worse or dramatic.

You’re good enough is in reference to imposter syndrome. Not a free pass to act abusive and/or be intolerant

@@steve19811 I think the ego might be a perception tool, an avatar for our spiritual consciousness to be able to interact and perceive other things and beings as separate things. Our spirits live an Earthly life to grow in some ways that are not possible in the more fluid, interconnected spiritual realms.

💯💯💯💯🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

If I hadn’t seen or known anything at all about this movie while watching this, I would immediately go and see it. They are so great together. I already need another Margot/ Greta produced/ directed/ written project and I haven’t seen this one yet.

Little Women sucked and this is a man hating movie

You make me not want to see the movie. I'm a guy, got my tickets, but im not going because it's made me women. Stop making everything about social 'issues'. I'm more going to see Ryan Gosling act his guts out as Ken, more than anything.

@@poocrayon4588 How have you seen it when it doesn't come out for another eight days?

I really liked it. It wasn't combative, the interviewer just seemed really curious and active listening to what they were saying.

​@@pcapussoAgreed. She gave them the floor and let them speak for themselves rather than directing the interview.

Yeah the interviewer lacked warmth and spoke over the interviewees at times as well. But I guess this kinda thing happens when it’s a supposed ‘serious’ interview on a news network 😏

Exactly. And this ladies and gentlemen, is actual feminism.

***SPOILER ALERT*** I felt like the scene where the two Kens are denied court seats by Issa Rae's character and instead given lower seats is much more related to the real world but the reverse. Women are denied positions of power and influence. It reminded me of the end of 9 to 5. I didn't see it as a man hating movie either. Quite the opposite actually. I thought it artfully showed how patriarchy hurts men as well.

Of course it is, it is a film that gives men and patriarchy as a villain, in order to "empower" the girls when they defeat them. Good message, but very dangerous in the long run.

It does lol thats why I'm happy with trans winning over women in sports deserved

@@sarov7658 ouch

Those men are smart and based for wanting to leave the plane.

Anything except fulfilling their biological destiny of having children.

Women can do everything! Except provide all the resources we use to live (Farming, Building, Drilling, Mining etc). Oh and inventions. They aren't into inventing things.

@@noogate2672 That ain't feminist, that's the patriarchy! Biology? How DARE you use that word around children.

@@noogate2672 I know. Modern women are a lose cause. Completely broken.

Yes, she's amazing! And watching this ladies together I don't get why feminism is still a thing worth taking about...

This movie deserves a Grammy Oscar and golden globe

Feminist clap trap , Barbie does not like men 😂

Movie barbie sucked hard I wanted to walk out but popcorn

So how about the treatment of Ken in the movie? Let's not pretend feminism is about equality any more. It's a vicious power grab by women hostile to almost every aspect of masculinity. It is divisive, unfair and ugly.

I love that there’s space for all types female characters. Sometimes I want to channel woman king other times I wanna channel Elle Woods!

@@Sophia-tv7kg exactly! Growing up I loved Lara Croft and Elle Woods. Recently we’ve been getting way more Lara Croft / woman king characters though. I think people are craving some Elle Woods energy

YEP

Except this still going to be cringe feminist. Watch.

@@Sophia-tv7kg Woman king wasn't even historically accurate lol.

lol adorable. Its like watching Idiocracy come alive.

until the old system gets put back in place...

Funny that a "21st century global gangster capitalism hellscape" would so richly reward a piece of hard feminist propaganda. Maybe the world is a bit further left than you realised...

An American interviewer would have asked, what was your workout routine to prepare for the role?

You are so right. @@Mrs.Currie

They will say whatever they need to say to sell millions and millions of barbies.

She wants to admit that the movie is a feminist diatribe, whereas business-head Margot knows that won't sell tickets.

😂😂😂 nice one

Lolzz

And misandry! Don't forget the misguided, agenda-pushing misandrist lies!

Irony how they obsess with men

Powerful women who are obsessed with men lmao😂

​@@kiwiwooqSays the girl who watched Barbie and then went home to her right hand

actually, all of the construction (which falls under bricklayer and manual labor) in barbieland is done by women. they already covered your complaints.

because misandry doesn’t kill men like misogyny kills women

@@gm.8805 Check the suicide rates of men in America. It's not a contest, but misandry causes a lot of that. Both sides suffer.

@@cavebear33 if anything, the higher rate of male suicide would be caused by the patriarchy, not by misandry

@@lankywheat7840 Your statement itself might be considered by some as an example of misandry.

@@cavebear33 declining mental health is not because of misandry. infact, it’s men themselves that bully other guys for ‘speaking about their emotions’. how is it the women’s fault

Hi! See from my perspective you got the main plot of the movie but your forgetting the ending! Throughout the whole movie the Barbie’s thought so little of the kens with the kens always wanting Barbie’s attention but the Barbie’s basically being off in their own little world and ignoring them most of the time. We then see it switched with the kens and the Kendom(I think that’s what it was called in the movie) where they took over and made Barbieland all about them and kind of made the Barbie’s their servants. Near the end of the movie when the Barbie’s take Barbieland over again the kens ask to be part of the government and help the Barbie’s run Barbieland. The Barbie’s were like sure you can help we’ll give you a job but your not ready to be president yet or anything big because you just don’t have the experience. So in the end you can believe that Barbieland would be equally run by both men and woman which is what feminism is. Also the whole movie kinda shows what woman go through on a daily basis, like when Barbie and ken originally got to the real world barbie felt very self conscious and was getting cat called while ken was soaking up the attention and felt noticed for the first time. I believe that cis another contributor to what Greta and Margot are talking about with the film being very feminist as it does talk about the, I want to say rare but I don’t think that’s the right word,but the rare side of being a woman that isn’t seen very much in cinema like it was in the Barbie movie. I don’t know I thought his movie was very feminist. I have only seen it once though so I don’t remember everything about the movie as it is a lot to take in at once. Anyways, I don’t know if this changes your view on this or just maybe jogs your memory from something you forgot about this movie and I’m not trying to make that happen! I just thought that the movie was great and yes most of the movie is very “violence on violence” as you talked about but that was kinda the lead up to the feminism I guess. Idk anyways have a great day:)))

It's a victim lower consciousness mindset where everyone vies for power. It's a product of lack of responsibility in an individuals personal life. I get arrogant vibes from both of them... Pride is not a good emotional state....

@@isabellaconnelly1157 Its Barbie land - not a one of them would make good leaders.If they wanted the message to be what they claim then you end the movie with the kens and the barbies recognizing the equality and right to be involved in leading together.

This might be a bit into your face but you didnt get the message right. Watch it again

@@maryfiero8122 I believe art is open to interpretation. Different people can see different things, and it's OK. Still, I only got such an impression of the film because of what was and wasn't said there. For me, the message wasn't complete in some way. I would've liked to hear more about how both Kens and Barbies are important and that they respect each other, that's it. And the fact that this point wasn't that clear when in fact they could've given more attention to it makes me wonder if they really wanted to. I do realise I might be diving a bit too deep, though. Could you possibly share the way you see the message? I would really love to explore other perceptions. Perhaps it would help me to see the points I missed

Ya it’s strange.

@@Karma-fp7hointernalized misogyny u got going on

I’m a feminists and I love Barbie

She is whatever she is paid millions to be. What annoys me is the preaching to girls and women telling them "you are enough" after having cosmetic surgery, other procedures, becoming blonde and being on a perpetual diet. Yeah, okay, whatever you say Hollyweird.

that phrase doesn't mean that they are the same biologically it means that they SHOULD have equal access to opportunities and neither should be treated as a second class citizen, sadly I think the film also misses that point

@@snule349 Then that will have to start from changing female psychology by females themselves. Females mate choice of bigger, taller, aggressive masculine, high status males resulted in male being bigger, and hyper competitive for power and status. If females changes themselves and stops rewarding males with those, nature and evolution will make men equal over thousands of years. Its the mate choice by females and their psychology of getting sexually attracted to someone large and aggressive enough to be able to kill them resulted the inequality you see.

@@user-ru7qn5om1q the reason that men are stronger biologically than women is because that's what testosterone does, I don't understand why you seem to be saying that women's tastes are what caused evolution to go the way it did. Also you seem to be ignoring that women have diverse taste, not every woman craves a masculine man and I'd say not a single one of my afab friends has ever said they desire an aggressive partner

Equality is not the same and it is not about masculinity or feminity. It means no gender is inherently better or more valuable than the other. No gender is subservient to the other. We can all play different roles but they are all valuable. The big lie is that a person who works outside the home is more valuable than a person who maintains a home, whether make or female.

@@JoanLBlack you should have seen what they said in the reply that got deleted

My interpretation of Ken meeting the "real world" was that Kens idea that being a man gets you anywhere is flawed. In order to get anywhere you need competence, something which Ken simply lacks. Why would it in that case be a class struggle? Is it because in USA you need to be wealthy in order to get a college degree?

I highly recommend it! Just saw it tonight at the theaters and it's really funny and meaningful but still light

Greta never played with Barbies as a kid I'm convinced after seeing the movie. Everything is a surface level wikipedia understanding of the dolls.

@@lukeshioshio Same...................it wasn't what I thought it would be after all- I loved the outfits and the sets though

@@LynnThreadzOfficial same!!! The costumes were amazing and Margot looked stunning

You is trying to teach the director about his own movie ? LOL.

@@arthursouza9641 not really: like everyone else I have my own impressions/ thoughts.

Yeah, your uncultured opinion.@@nickthepostpunk5766

agreed

Disagree. If Barbie hated Ken she could have lied and let him continue to worship her instead of encouraging to find himself and that he is more than his girlfriend. In the beginning it was a female dominated society...that is not feminism. Then when Mattel suggests everything should go back to the way it was, they reject that because they realize the Ken's should be treated better...closer to feminism but true equality would be feminism.

@@JoanLBlack What a joke. So basically because Barbie, still by the end, treated Ken like utter GARBAGE but "could have treated him even worse", that means it's not anti-male? I guess if a man now tells a woman to stfu & get back to the kitchen, that's not real misogyny because he also could have killed her for disobeying his male command. Also, the movie literally ends with Kens still being denied equality & Barbies getting back all the power. All that "changed" was Barbie giving one single apology & that's it. It speaks volumes that women see that as "equality". You are truly vile if you agree with this movie.

Don't worry if Barbie still continues her relationship w/Ken she will probably have to tell him a few more times.Kens don't usually get or pretend not to get what's said the 1st time.

There's no such thing as "equality." Feminism has always been a hate based female supremacy movement since its inception.

Lmaooooooo. Leave women alone dude

at the end the old matriarchy gets put back in place, very uplifting

So it polarized the nation more than unite? Bravo. Just...bravo.

Nice more propaganda and division what america needs how about tackling actual issues about trans taking over women sports they won't😅

@@sarov7658 That's not an actual issue either.

Men that have victims of women shouldn’t see.

True

Hahaha how funny are u mysogynist
