Cain Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 Omg this is the first time I went to a movie and half the people were dressed up?? Like everyone was in hotpink minidresses and denim The audience cheered after America’s rant/speech and they laughed so hard at the I Am Kenough shirt What an experience 2

Blade Runner Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 Sadly, I didn't like Barbie THAT much. I just hate when movies are extra preachy and too obvious with its messages. The whole experience was kinda exhausting. I loved Margot, Ryan, Isa, the first 20 minutes, and the production value, of course. A 6/10 for me. Other than that, I still want this movie to make 598593688960930636 dollars. Rooting hard for it. 1
Blade Runner Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 The ending tho. Absolutely brilliant. That last sentence was genius. jsfffkk 1
Shinning Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 Watched it last night. It was nothing like I was expecting but I absolutely loved it. It was smart and clever and beautiful to look at and deeply meta and thought-inducing but most of all FUN. And the theater was PACKED and everyone dressed in pink and laughing their assess off. Barbie brought back fun to the movies. Margot Robbie is stunning and the perfect actress for Barbie but man Ryan Gosling is the star with one of the campest most ridiculous characters I've seen. But I couldn't help to think how ironic the gigantic marketing push for this movie kinda goes against the commentary it does on women's place in a capitalist patriarchy. Because I saw lots of little girls watching the movie and this is absolutely not a movie for kids. 3

Gossip_Boy Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 This might not be completely dead yet in China. Apparently it’s trending #1 on Weibo and word of mouth there is amazing. It keeps getting more and more showings each day too because of the hype. 1

However the word patriarchy gets mentioned so much that conservatives (who I’m sure don’t even ‘believe’ in that) would cringe watching it
cruelhprince Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 the What Was I Made For scene is living in my mind rent free 1
Harrier Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 This movie was sensational. 10\10. Never have I been in a movie theatre and felt like I was the target audience quite so much. It was just so good and so intelligently written. So political but in a really layered and nuanced way. I definitely feel that some of the more niche humour was lost on the normie Australian audience in my theatre, me and my gay bestie were definitely the only people cackling at some of the jokes. I could also feel some of the men in the theatre who'd come with their girlfriends were not liking it. Hopefully this inaccessibility doesn't hurt its legs because I want to see this reach 1 billion. 4
Saintlor Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) This definitely did not live up to the hype How could they make this BORING when they had so much to work with Don't see why Ryan's performance is so acclaimed, I thought his acting was actually cringeworthy. It was awful (and so was his singing) Margot and America did their best with a bad script. Edited July 22, 2023 by Saintlor 1 11
SmittenCake Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 bff bought tickets and we'll be seeing TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO EXCITED 1
ahzark97 Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 Amazing movie with a good message. The theater was packed. Give Ryan & Margot both oscars rn. 9.5/10
OreGuy Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 this was amazing. it was political bc Barbie's always been like that. You got to be a dumbass to assume they are gonna make a Barbie movie with just pretty clothes and make up when animated versions of that already exists. And it was not even that preachy, it was not also forced. loved it, everyone slayed movie of the year 1
pinkdiamond Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 Saw it last night and have mixed feelings. Gosling delivered a great performance and there were some funny scenes, but overall the movie felt a bit too on the nose. Like I was being bashed on the head with the message over and over.
Taylor fanboy Posted July 22, 2023 Posted July 22, 2023 This was my favorite scene. Spoiler That box scene had so much potential for a tearjerk but alas…
