Yes, this. I am also surprised when people discuss the message that resonated. We've been hearing the message over and over for years, e.g., here https://vimeo.com/393253445

What's new and eye-opening did the movie do with the message?

Well, since the issue is still very real, I think it's resonating b/c it's talking to a new generation and the video you posted didn't change anything. I think people are getting riled up b/c it's a movie that really was *for* women and that doesn't happen a lot. It makes people uncomfortable.

And the movie will change everything? You are treating it as a feminist manifesto of sorts, which it is not.

And about a movie for women? Are you posting from the 1950s?

The fact that the movie is a huge financial success will actually make a real difference in terms of what material gets greenlighted and backed, and who gets to write and direct. That’s the point Gerwig made when Little Women was a big success but was snubbed at the Oscars. And it seems like she was right

Maybe, although I am not so sure. The success is very much due to marketing. With a budget of $140 mil, it would be surprising if the move flopped.

This is just not accurate. Many heavily marketed movies don’t meet expectations. This movie made nearly $350 million worldwide in the first weekend it was out. That is just staggering. It far exceeded the modeled box office numbers.

Like which ones?

That’s the point Gerwig made when Little Women was a big success but was snubbed at the Oscars. And it seems like she was right

So are we in for an influx of superficial pretentious movies?

If superficial and pretentious is actually code for female empowerment, then I certainly hope so.

We must have different ideas about female empowerment. Legally Blond was more empowering than Barbie.

I like them both. It's OK. That doesn't mean Barbie isn't empowering for some. Let's not prove the daughter right.

Nothing wrong with liking Barbie, I agree. It did not meet my expectations, and that's ok too.

Yep.

Margot Robbie bought the rights and got the movie made. She is going to make a huge amount of money as a producer. Gerwig too.

Sounds pretty empowered.

“ It’s safe to attribute some of Barbie’s anticipated success to an onslaught of marketing from Mattel and Warner Bros.”

Some, for sure. Also, it kind of beat the box office predictions in an article. Just saying.

It is really interesting how women like to heap scorn on hugely successful projects that are imagined and brought to fruition by other women.

I did not realize you were talking about the empowerment of (two?) specific females. On this point, I agree.

Womanhood is not unified in anyway other than the fact we are women. There have been terrible people in the world who are women, I am glad they were not successful. "Barbie" was just a movie. It is not culturally, socially, or historically significant in anyway. There isn't anything important about it. Nothing. Movie studios are in the business of making money. Barbie was a money making venture, that for some reason some found to be entertaining.

Hey, good for them. They worked hard to make a movie that many liked. I did not and found the message heavy-handed. Not sure why you think I can't critique it. Most of my favorite writers happen to be women, although I appreciate their ideas and not their money-making skills.

I’m one of the PPs and I guess I’m not seeing your comments in this movie. I don’t understand why it’s resonating- it seems so dumbed down. And I’m a woman. I didn’t feel uncomfortable I felt like I was treated like I’m dumb. Let’s say patriarchy 10 times in case you missed it? And America Ferrera’s character was basically ‘my tween hates me and I’m sad. I go to Barbie world and she likes me and now I’m happy.’ I just didn’t get the love for this movie.

This is exactly how I felt. Like the filmmaker thought I was stupid.
