BARBIE - A Misunderstood & Misrepresented Cinematic Triumph for Women Everywhere 

watch til the end 👀

The fact that Barbie managed to be more divisve and political than Oppenheimer is insane.

2:10 I think Alan actually serves a very important role in the movie. When he tries to leave Barbie Land, he explains to the mother and daughter that he doesn’t fit in with the other Ken’s and he can’t take it. I think Alan is a good representation of how the patriarchy alienates OTHER MEN who are told they’re supposed to conform to what a patriarchal society thinks a man is supposed to be. Also, super fun character haha.

Parents when the movie rated PG-13 ends up being unsuitable for young kids: 😱

Can someone explain to me why people are screaming that Barbie's 'a kids movie' when it's PG-13 and the trailers made it abundantly clear it wouldn't be?

The "Margot Robbie isn't a good pick for 'I feel ugly'"-joke really got me, since 1) the narrator interacted with the barbie-world quite a lot when it was introduced in the beginning and first songs, so we know they exist. 2) of course we all know it, but it was really unexpected to have it addressed in a movie. It was just a quick one-off with great timing and surprise

I really liked the Barbie movie, a few days after watching it I realized how accurate it is to how you play with the dolls as a kid. For example everyone saying hi to each other, if you even have a Ken he’s never as involved in stuff as the Barbies, everyone shallowly doing their one job. Barbieland isn’t a utopia because man bad, it’s because kids play with dolls the way they do.

When stereotypical Barbie says that she doesn't feel pretty, the narrator doesn't say that Margot Robbie wasn't a good fit for this role, she says that Margot was the wrong person to make this specific point about beauty standards with, the idea being that her exposure to the real world has changed her self-perception and worldview so much that she doesn't feel like a stereotypical Barbie anymore, because she clearly fits mainstream beauty standards very well. When I saw the movie in the cinema, that joke actually got a laugh out of most women in the audience.

i rather liked the whole "ken discovers the patriarchy" plot beat. it actually made it more understandable how this sort of stuff develops irl, and it made it clear that the movie advocates more for equality than for the whole "barbie hates men" idea. flipping who's on top doesn't actually solve anything, whether that's men in barbieland or women irl.

5:00 So it's basically like Nightmare Before Christmas where Jack misunderstands Christmas and tries to implement it in Halloween Town.

I love how Ben Shapiro somehow thinks that this movie is a danger to society.💀

I think the reason there's only one "Weird Barbie" is because the Barbies are all meant to be avatars for how girls typically play with them, hence why the main Barbie is called "stereotypical Barbie". They're not individual playthings, they're ideas, so Weird Barbie is just a physical representation of all the roughed up Barbies out there rather than any one particular doll. And it's also why Stereotypical Barbie is the one experiencing the main conflict because she's being played with by a grown adult woman who likely gave up any imaginary ideals for her doll in order to project onto her.

As a historian, it's amazing how backward we have become while thinking we are more progressive than we used to be. For example: the pandemic and the fit people were having over masks and quarantine. During the Black Plague, both were created and people used them to protect themselves and others from dying. Also, while working on a book about 15-17th Century France, the number of women regents for their sons was remarkably larger than I even knew. I learned about one of the greatest baroque artist (a woman) who's entire career was derailed because of her being a r*pe survivor. There were female authors, composers (and the book on fly fishing that men still use today was written by a woman). Society puts more emphasis on men being greater like their achievements cannot stand alongside the achievements of women. I don't know where that comes from. Oh, Oppenheimer looks pretty awesome. I think the double release is why that weird Shapiro dude et. al. are against Barbie. Somehow (again), he and others feel that a woman is overshadowing a man. I love how they forget they came out of one while trying to downplay the contributions of women to civilization.

Elvis turning pink to fit with the movies theme really shows his engagement to his content

I used to play with babyborn dolls and barbies as well and the difference between the two couldn't be wider. I treated the baby doll like I would my own child, played house with my brother and took good care of her. The barbies on the other hand were sacrificed to the gods. I think both are ok.

I actually really like how exaggerated the "real world" is in Barbie - because think of it from the perspective of Barbie. She's lived her whole life in a paradise where women run everything and women can be anything, and now she is for the first time in her life stepping into something different. She's going to be hyper-aware of the differences and of how she's treated in the real world compared to Barbieland - hence the exaggeration. I also personally interpret this movie to have a sort of abstract coming-of-age theme to it. I interpret Barbie as this little girl who's all of a sudden experiences changes to her body, and at the same time is noticing that the people around her are looking at her with a very different lense from before. She doesn't know why it's happening and wants to escape from it and return to when she was younger and the world was simpler but she can't, and by the end of the movie she accepts it and embraces being a woman - embracing both the beauty and the horrors that come with holding that role in our society.

I assumed Weird Barbie was like Jesus in a way. Suffering for our sins. And that's why she's the only "weird" Barbie

If I were to criticize Barbie, it would be because of how Mattel, while being shown as the villain, is ultimately cheered on to make more money from more Barbie products, while also being shown as clumsy and not really dangerous at all. It seemed like sometimes the movie didn't know if it wants to prove a point, what the point is, or if it just wants to push the plot forward - Kendom was shown as a place when everybody was happy, the brainwashing was introduced in a sloppy way, Barbies won the election via seduction and manipulation, which doesn't go well with the empowerment message. The whole role reversal concept was really cool, but sometimes I wondered "soo... is Ken patriarchy now? Or is Barbie patriarchy now?", like with the beach night manipulation scene. There's a lot more that could be said about the movie, it actually is a great conversation topic if people are speaking in good faith. Despite me mostly bitching in my comment, I gotta say I loved the movie, it was funny, had great vibe, the acting was great and it was one of the more interesting women empowerment products of recent years. It wasn't perfect, but it was Kenough.

This movie IS pg13 I don't understand how people are complaining about it being inappropriate

For what it's worth, the narrator cutting in out of left field (when Barbie says "I don't feel barbie perfect pretty" to say "note to film makers, margot robie is the wrong person to cast to make this point") did catch me off guard and made me laugh like a moron. The movie was fun as hell though, everyone was great. Margot's excellent, and I feel like Ryan Gosling's musical and comedic talents both are severely under-appreciated because the man's talented as hell. The "fight" scene had me on the damn floor. Also, Barbie sobbing over being called a fascist killed me.

I saw this with my youngest daughter and her friend a couple days ago and I admit I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. I had heard how it was an Anti-Men Feminist Hit-Piece designed to destroy the Patriarchy and all that junk, but I went in with an open mind and was pleasantly surprised. I think you hit the nail on the head that it didn't hate men and it also didn't necessarily make women out to be the saviors of all humankind. Barbieland was not perfect even at the end, they didn't have true equality (not allowing men on the Supreme Court, for instance) and Kens were still "second class", but as a girl-imagination-fueled mirror of reality, that makes a lot of sense. I never had Barbies as a kid, being a boy, though I did often play with them with my cousins and have bought them for my cousins and my daughters. The easter eggs and cameos from some of the weird Barbies I remember were great (Earring Magic Ken and the camera Barbie were ones I remember well), and I laughed the hardest at the pooping dog cameo because I literally bought my daughters that set when it was on the market. My daughter and her friend loved the movie and they can't wait to see it again with my oldest daughter when she returns later this week.

One thing I strongly disagree with you on; that 4th wall break with the narrator calling Margot Robbie pretty was hilarious. That easily got the biggest laugh from me and everybody elae in the theather.

The Margot Robbie joke is technique called “hanging the lantern” it’s a classic technique that has been used time and time before. I thought it worked really well

The best part about the movie is how it’s not only about women their problems and how they are treated, it also has an underlying message about men and people’s mental health being a man or woman. Yes it focuses on mainly women but the fact that the movie has a little bit of everything makes it such a good movie.

I think it’s not for children mostly because they’ll be bored and confused not because it’ll corrupt them. I saw this first hand by the two 5 and 7 yr old nieces I brought with me. They like the fun antics, but got lost easily in the ample dialogue parts that discuss issues way above their pay grade in none simple langue. Totally agree with the 13 and up rating though.

Come on. Morbius clearly made MCU an unforgettable thing!

I think I laughed equally while watching Oppenheimer and Barbie. And both movies had GREAT soundtrack. The Oppenheimer's was majestic and Barbie's was so groovy and just great making me vibe while watching.

Elvis, this movie isn't for little children. It's PG-13. There's a joke about the Kens beating each other off that goes on for like half a minute.

"We still live in patriarchy, but it will take me too long to explain why" Most dangerous jobs done by men. Most people who die on job are men. Gross jobs are done exclusively by men. People who die in wars are mostly men. People who are conscripted into army against their will are men. Majority of homeless people are men. There are no "bureau of men's affairs", but there is one for women's affairs. There is no female-hating male-supremacy cult for men, but there is male-hating female supremacy cult for women. "Misogyny" is treated as a slur, but most people don't even know what "misandry" means. Women are more likely to graduate from school (where majority of teachers are also women). Women are more likely to go to university and thus are more likely to get easy and high paying job. Majority of voters are women. Women are sentenced less severely for committing exactly same crime. Breast cancer have received over 200 times more funding that prostate cancer. There are no laws who were made exclusively to help/defend men, but there are for women. Female-only scholarships and hiring quotas exists, but male-only doesn't. A man can be fired for saying any joke about women, but no such thing will ever happen to a woman. You can make a career and get loads of money for falsely accusing man of grape if you are a woman. Woman-on-man grape is treated as joke and any man who complains is mocked. Etc. I dare you to explain why we live in "patriarchy". I double dare you.

i feel like the world is ready for rock'em sock'em robots on the silver screen.

I would give the Barbie movie a 7.5 out of 10, I really enjoyed it. Basic Barbie played my Margot Robbie was extremely fun and acted very well, Ken was acted very well from Ryan Gosling.

Except Barbie and the women didn't learn anything. They go back to Barbie land and immediately the men are 2nd class citizens. Nobody learns anything

I like your view. I like the emphasis you put on the fact that this, on it's surface, is a movie about dolls that children play with. However, as a parent, watching it with my teenage son, I had this moment where I realized I failed him in some way. There was a point when my son was probably 8 years old and all of his friends were girls, only because that's who lived on our street that was his age. They were all at our house with their Barbie dolls sitting around the coffee table playing, and he was laying under the coffee table just staring straight up looking like he wished he were dead. When I asked him about it he said, he hated Barbies and so he was the dog... his choice. When we left the movie I asked him if he remembered that. He did. And then he says the words that made me realize I really failed him in that moment. "I didn't even know there was a Ken doll. If I had it would have wanted one so I could play with them (the girls)." It never even occurred to me. Probably because I grew up hating Barbie. 🙄 You try so hard not to let your personal problems interfere with you raising a child. Like if you're the oldest and that child's the youngest. If you're a girl and your child's a boy. You try not to put your feelings of conflict onto them. You want them to grow up to be their own person and to be securing themselves. And I realized in that moment I let my feelings be put on him. In many ways it was small and it was insignificant, but it stung a little. Especially, since I could see him and so many other boys I know and boys I knew in the struggle that the Ken's were having. Yes, ultimately it is a movie about dolls, but there's a lot more there than just dolls.

The first movie I ever saw in theaters was Brave, with my mom. And we went to see Barbie together just us again. And honestly we really enjoyed it. And for me it hurt a bit. Because my relationship with my mother has really changed and we’re kind of distant now. So this movie honestly felt like the perfect movie for us to see and I didn’t even realize it until we started watching it. Overall, my advice to people is to chill. It’s not my absolute favorite but it’s genuinely good. And if you at least give it a fair shot you might get something nice out of it

6:42 honestly both times I saw it the entire theater burst out laughing 😅😂

I work at a movie theater and a lady came up to me and asked what I thought about Barbie and I said it was all right and she said “that’s just because you’re afraid of women”😅

This has no impact on the way people feel about this movie, but I had tons of Barbie’s growing up and my most cherished Barbie was at my grandmas house, I would play with her when I visited my grandparents and I would always put her in a yellow dress. When I saw Barbie wearing a yellow dress during the most emotionally heavy scenes, when she was telling ken he’s important even without her and when she decided to be a human instead, I cried the second I saw it. I recently lost my grandma so the memories I’ve been having of being at her house playing with my Barbie in a yellow dress with her playing along with me and my brother have been floating around my head a lot since you couldn’t take two breaths without hearing about it. Ok bye, I miss and love my grandma and Barbie is cool

It was surprisingly funny in a unique way, i literally havent seen unique comedy in a long time.

I just love how ken learns about the patriarchy while barbie does her barbie thing

I love how the obvious critics to the movie about a doll representing femininity and empowerment are upset it has themes of femininity and empowerment. Yeah, I’m not always a fan of “pandering,” but come on! It’s fucking Barbie! It fits well with what she means to women! What we’re these people honestly expecting?

Ah god. People arguing about the Barbie movie was not on my checklist for this year. I got into an argument with a bunch of ladies because I said I felt bad for the Kens. Some brought good arguments, some said I am a sexist, didnt get the point of the movie, and some said "You are a man because you are stupid to think to pity Ken". Well... I am sadly female. And I feel bad for the Kens because they literally all have one goal in life, and they don't have freaking houses. And aside from the patriarchy thing, you're SUPPOSED to feel bad for the Kens!

It took an Alien to perfectly explain this movie.

I know it’s a movie for women by women, but honestly adding just one male character who isn’t an asshole, idiot, or a pervert (and isn’t Alan) would prevent most of the hate this movie gets.

I feel like not enough people are talking about the pro-men's mental health message at the end of the movie. It shows near the end of the movie how men sometimes feel alone in the world, with no proper way to express their emotions without being considered "weak" or "ungrateful" by society. The important thing to remember about Barbie is that while it is a pro-woman movie, it also makes sure to include a pro-man message as well; that way, both genders feel properly represented in a well-written comedic fashion. That's how I felt about it anyway.

I find it so funny how for Barbie, we see how Ken's are treated just like an extension of Barbie, and you mention how in real life women are often treated as extensions of men, and then for Oppenheimer we have a perfect example of that, where the female characters have no real depth besides "women that are there to love Oppenheimer"

I fully agree with both reviews. Jean Tatlock actually led a fascinating life all on her own. She was one of the few women in her Stanford med school program back in the early-mid 1930s and was very involved in the emerging science of psychology. She’s the one who introduced Oppenheimer to a lot of his lifelong friends outside of the world of physics. I’m reading the biography the movie is based on and it’s very good at covering everyone, including the women, in Oppenheimer’s life. Recommend it to anyone willing to read a 1000 page book.

I'm transmasc and my partner is nonbinary but born male. We both loved Barbie and watched it a second time with our 9 year old daughter and 11 year old son. The only remotely non-kid friendly thing I can think of is the "beach off" joke, which they didn't understand anyways. I want to add that another message that I picked up on was to let yourself feel and express your emotions. Barbie cries twice, and both times directly afterwards she seems to figure something out and progress. Ken cries at the climax for the first time, and through talking with Barbie grows and starts to understand himself. It's a very big part of toxic masculinity, and the worst parts of our culture in general, that pressures men and women to hide their feelings, especially sadness.

I think the fact that the political message was so hand fisted and not very subtle, was very much intentional. I think it's mostly because we are living with audiences who have little to no media literacy that sometimes subtlety will not work and the messages of a movie will be misinterpreted. So I think that Greta just was like "fuck it, treat the audience like children" because, after all, Barbie is directed at children.

The thing I love most about Barbie is it brought the masses from all walks of life together for a fun bright pink time. Although there’s discourse, from what I’ve seen the overwhelming majority of people liked it. I thought it was funny & original and although it’s not even an 8/10 for me as a movie I just love that it brought going to the THEATER back again. I haven’t seen the movies packed in over 10 years personally at least in my local area. So I thank Barbie (and Oppenheimer) for that. I couldn’t tell you the last movie I saw with a packed theater and a wide range of people spanning all ages & genders. The Barbenheimer phenomenon made humanity seem kinda normal and cozy for a blip in time

People taking this movie more seriously than the own movie takes itself serious haha, it's a silly funny movie with very charismatic performances and couple of messages behind, not only, women-men, also self identity issues and so. Not so clever at script, kind of take easy some resolutions, but again, the movie do not take itself seriously.

I actually like the old title better - “Barbie - a silly movie with dumb discourse”.

I recently lost an eye, watching your videos helped me get through it. Love you buddy! Thank you!

I love the reason Ken hates the patriarchy is because no horses are involved.

People ruin Barbie coming soon

You nailed it; the analysis is insightful, the observations and commentary tie the themes and messages together perfectly, and that the point of Barbie is one which society needs to attend to, for the mental health of this country. Siskel and Ebert would be proud! Well done.

I mean hating these messages in movies like this doesn't mean I don't think women deserve respect. But the movie tells it itself. Ken wants a patriarchy because for the first time in the real world he felt seen and respected. This movie preaches a world were women are respected and men are not instead of a world were both are respected.

Why is the Pinnacle of womanhood "eschewing the shackles of motherhood?"

Thanks for this review. I found it strange that a lot of guy reviewers kept saying that this is not a movie meant for them over and over, like you can't take a message if it's Barbie. So pretty happy Elvis reviewed this

I get the message behind the girls breaking the baby dolls but why does it portray motherhood in such a negative way? Motherhood is supposed to be a good thing.

It would be interesting if Mattel made Ken dolls as popular as Barbie. They can have Ken and his buddies, including Allan, go on adventures and have different occupations like Barbie. That's not just great marketing but makes it more inclusive to little boys as well.

This movie plays SO safe that I feel kinda cheated by all the fuss, I was expecting some actually intelligent and revolutionary critique

3:55 Dead ass i thought oppenheimer was the person ho made barbie think about death 💀💀💀

Regarding the women in Oppenheimer: this is a biopic about Oppenheimer and the film primarily takes place through his perspective and his memory. The women feel unreal and extra bc thats how he views women. Oppenheimer is also extremely self centered, even when the president himself said its not all about you. Jean was just a fuck buddy that he pumped and dumped after he cheated on her with another fuck buddy and got her pregnant. He's had numerous affairs throughout the film and pays absolutely no mind to his wife or kids bc they're simply not important to him, the bomb is. It's interesting to see how he (and the other men most likely) never consider womens intelligence. There are lines in the movie mentioning that these scientists wives also have masters in things like chemical engineering. But since they're women and married they are completely disregarded and downgraded to mere housewives, even when there's a small but important mention on how.when these scientists go home they talk about the project with theor wives and they end up helping woth the problem solving... And then never give them any credit or pay them any mind. Women simply aren't considered in this movie bc that's how Opeheimer and his group see women. I actually really liked how this was portrayed in the movie. We're experiencing these women through a selfish shitty person who happens to be a brilliant scientist. We see that Katherine is very clearly suffering but since it's through his perspective we see his priorities. He doesn't care she's unhappy, doesn't care that she's got postpartum or nearly killed their kid. He views her as a nuisance that is obligated to stay by his side, which she does but.looks miserable the entire time, knowing he's having affairs and has been reduced to the "loyal wife" role forced to lie to the government for him. I like that we the more consciencious audience can see that the women in his life are suffering (or dead) and see how shitty of a person, husband, and father Oppenheimer is (like we his kids twice in the whole movie) but because it's through his perspective we can see what he truly cares about and views as important: the bomb, fame, fortune, ego. I thought it was well done though it may not have been done intentionally since Nolan doesn't do women or romance well at all to the point that I wouldn't be surprised if he's a virgin who's only ever heard of women from dime novels

The stance that its a childrens movie is the biggest problem. Its a PG13 movie. Its meant to be a movie for the adults who grew up with Barbie and like teenagers closer to 20. This isn't for children, its BASED on a kids toy yes. But they are just using that as the trope. This is like Anchorman, or like Nacho Libre, its dumb fun, and all of these people going THIS MOVIE ISNT FOR CHILDREN!!! No shit Tammy.

I haven't watched this yet, but I love the concept that they used the basis of the real life status of ken as a secondary product to barbie dolls to make a movie in which theman/men is/are flipped into the role of characters entirely defined by being the protagonist's love interest, which otherwise generally only exists for female characters.

I'll be honest, I didn't find _Barbie_ empowering in the slightest. So it was hard for me to enjoy it as it bashed me over the head with a message that I think is either willfully blind or ignorant. If I want to enjoy a movie about a plastic doll having to deal with the real world that _does_ have good messaging, I'll just watch _Life-Size_ again.

There’s a theory going around saying all of the colored scenes are fake and what Oppenheimer sees, and the black and white scenes are the real world and what actually happens. So the fact that the women feel fake is due to the fact that Oppenheimer didn’t spend much time outside of work and so lost in thought that he didn’t see them as anything aside from love machines made for him. This also explains why his wife goes from loving to alcoholic from one scene to another, he never noticed until one day it became really obvious

I really enjoyed your analysis, well done!

i put my phone down right before the bonus review and was so confused how the movie took such a turn.

You are the first person to review this movie that I think actually understood all the nuances of it. Bravo!

Barbillion happened! The prophecy came true. A barbillion doll hairs.

I really truly loved the Barbie movie. It shows how both men and women need to realize that the world should be equal and how everyone should try to become who they want to be. The real world is controlled by men and the Barbie world is controlled by women, but it showed that the other sides are suffering. Everyone needs to be equal and we all need to work together to find each other to find happiness with each other by respecting each others hopes and dreams.

I don’t know if I understand the movie 100% but what I got from this video is that Barbie leaving Barbieland is her moving on from a fantasy land where everything is about girls to a men dominated world. Basically she not only needed but she also wanted to grow up and mature, just like the kids who played with Barbie dolls.

The only men mad at this movie are snowflakes who need to seek therapy immediately.

Maybe the film was accurate and Mattel really is run by a manchild who now just wants to make movies about all his toys. We live in the goofiest timeline

Barbie is one of my favorite movies of this year. Period. I grew up playing with Barbie's and I've even done school reports on Barbie, it holds a special place in my heart. Very nostalgic for me watching this, I would buy the DVD when and if it comes out.

Honestly, if you brought your little kid to the Barbie movie and got upset that it was too raunchy, it’s your own fault for ignoring the PG13 rating

Exactly political messages that are so in your face no,, subtle things yes but in a Barbie movie it seems unnecessary .Especially since every other movie does the exact same thing becoming way too much,, even if a movie is subtle with it people will get pissed because they're going to the movies to escape that. So whats the point if you want politics go to a political rally,, watch political media,, it doesn't have to be every single movie and remake. And if thats the perception of men from women in Barbie land because they haven't been played with by young boys its a little spiteful tbh if thats the logic. Idk each to their own im glad people are enjoying it tho even if it wasn't quite to my taste. Thanks Elvis you're a legend.

It's really refreshing to see an actually good review of this movie.

I laugh with guys who makes reviews like "Don't watch barbie!! It makes your boys depressed and your daughters lesbians"

My favourite part in Barbie was when Margot Robbie looked right into the camera and said "it's barbin' time" and then brainwashed all the little girls in the world into becoming man hating feminists with blue hair and septum piercings. 10/10 moment.

Oppenheimer was a bunch of context around a few key experiences (especially at IMAX). I definitely agree with review of it being tedious, but weirdly felt none of the tedium while watching it. Haven't seen Barbie yet, but after your review I think I will.

I thought the movie made positive arguments for conservatism, the real world, and the illusion of patriarchy. The problem, or success, with the movie is that whatever it's message was, if it had one at all, it could be interpreted in so many different ways. People who hated it saw some message they didn't like and the people who liked it saw some message they did like. I liked it for the reasons I stated in my first sentence.

Man This doesn't feel like a real review It feels like a overreaction to the negative Like because people don't like it you gotta defend it You really start to sound alien elvis.

Women are not discouraged or told they are nothing without someone else nowadays. I know of no parent that does this. Hasn't been like that for a long time now. Quit using the 50's. But it does seem like we're being told that men can't do anything without women. Seems to be a major character arch in entertainment lately.

Let’s face it…if your reaction to a Barbie Movie is RAGE…the problem is not the movie.

The film is PG-13 and has the F-word; I don't think it's for kids. Secondly, the patriarchy isn't real in the US; society is not solely run by men. There are women in congress, the supreme court, as vice president, and recently as speaker of the house.

I'm of the idea that Barbie felt like it was more targeted at an adult audience than kids.

Lol "I like how they built the world of barbie" *Margot robbie feet* the timing is so great🤣🤣

The thing people needs to understand is in real life the ken doll was made as an accessory for Barbie

Bro barbie has always been about female empowerment. Literally look up the old school commercials. The whole patriarchy shit is ridiculous.

I really appreciated your analysis on the movie! It helped deepen my perspective about it! Nice vid man!

Wow, what a really good and insightful review. This has given me a whole lot to think about. I feel some of the points you made went over my head. I think I need to watch the movie again now that I have all of this knowledge lol

Cant have empowerment without establishing how youre a victim in the first place right

If we're talking about things that bothered us in the Barbie movie then my main sticking point is how the Barbie's took back power. They literally used seduction techniques and feigning interest in the activities that the Ken's liked to get close to them. Then, when they were close enough for the Kens they were targeting to let their guard down, they switched Kens to stir up animosity between them causing them to fight among themselves. While they were fighting they used this opportunity to take power back. Like, this sounds suspiciously close to how incels think and they just played it straight?

Elvis! You echoed so much of my own thinking on this movie, I loved it as well.

I think the women in Oppenehiemer's life portrayed in the movie dont feel like much of a character because Oppeheimer himself didnt have a strong focus on his relationships with the women in his life. Its from Oppenheimer's perspective.

I am currently taking a shit, there’s a bug in the corner. There’s no toilet paper. Send help.

The title of the video has changed like 7 times

The movie was made for us grandmas, too. Barbie was born in 1959. I was born in 1956. We grandmas had Barbies, too.
