I actually loved The Barbie Movie. I was worried it would be all about how men are bad, but it actually had something far more nuanced to say. It illustrated that both women and men face challenges as part of their gender group. Women and men experience different pressures. Both men & women need personal development and to get beyond shallow answers about what success looks like. Sometimes Ken was the antagonist, but in the 3rd act they made him a true protagonist, as well. It was really well done. I feel they gave Ken a great opportunity to speak for the pressures and heartbreak that men experience. It was really funny even as your heart went out to him. Well done.

People criticize Barbie for being an unrealistic role model...which i understand to a degree. But i think kids have far more imagination than that. Rather than saying "I'm going to be like this doll" they say "I'm going to make this doll be what I want it to be." It can be a catalyst for creativity. Hence the "weird Barbies" like Kate McKinnon plays in the movie...with the mismatched outfits and the choppy haircut that never grows out. 😂

Proud of these two women hailing from Sacramento, Ca. They produced a thought-provoking movie about finding our true selves, instead of following this path that we have been brainwashed in that we have to look like stereo type Barbie, and fall for Ken, rather than Ken being a friend. Our Barbies played with our brother's action figures/ WWE figures, so It was funny seeing John Cena as a Merman/Barbie Mermaid's Boyfriend. . . It was fun seeing so many groups of women and girls and even some men, of all ages donning pink/ or the stripes in support of one or most famous toys for girls growing up. It was actually fun, and had cameos with Rhea Pearlman as Barbies Creator, and Will Ferrell as Mattel's CEO, Kate McKinnon as Weird Barbie, etc.

You are correct: 1968 - Mattel produced 'Christie' an African American Doll that is a FOB - 'Friend of Barbie. In 1980, Mattel produced the first African American Doll that was actually named 'Barbie'. So, there was black representation by Mattel in 1968 ... but she was named 'Christie' instead of 'Barbie'. So, Sunny could have played with a black doll by Mattel when she was a child, the doll just would have been named 'Christie' instead of 'Barbie'. These facts can be verified with simple Google searches using these key words.

Sunny is incorrect. The first black Barbie came out in 1967. Therefore there were black Barbies when Sunny was a little girl. I had to confirm the date, but I was pretty sure I played with them when I was a little girl I wish she hadn’t gone there with the conversation because it didn’t add anything to the discussion of what the movie is actually presenting. I saw the movie last night. It is much better than I expected. It’s very deep and thoughtful. Also, I am putting it out there, I was not a Ryan Gosling fan until this movie.

Barbie was not originally a Bill Lili doll. Barbie was INSPIRED by her and merely modified to be marketed as a fashion doll towards children. but Bild Lili was not a fashion doll as her shoes couldn’t come off and she was not created to be undressed. Bild Lili was based on a newspaper comic about a call girl, who was then created as a souvenir as a gag toy for adults. Ruth Handler then saw the potential in this item and created a DOLL based on an idea that combined paper dolls with Bild lily. The original Barbie looked like Bild lily but was different in the terms of her internal mechanics & the ability to undress and redress. She was also modified to be able to be targeted towards children.

So what?

Wow, Ms. Gerwig is so thoughtful and impressive. By thoughtfully taking on a project that her own mother -- to say nothing of Gloria Steinem & the editorial staff of "Ms. Magazine" -- have mixed feelings about, she reminds us what it means to be an "artist"...and how artists can and always have prevailed, even in the most difficult of times...by inviting us to think, and presenting us with questions & ideas -- in the guise of entertainment. (And while truly entertaining us.) For those of us who are old enough to have actually experienced 2 of the things Ms. Gerwig references in this interview -- the Apollo 11 mission & the advent and widespread use of Credit Cards -- it's heartbreaking that American society has come to a place where people are motivated to gin-up controversy around Ms. Gerwig's film...rather than having an honest conversation about the thoughts & feelings the ideas in film gives rise to. In the end, many great works of art over the centuries have tackled the question: "What does it mean to be human?" And it seems that -- in an ingenious twist on how "science fiction," by presenting the author or filmmaker's vision of "the future," is often a commentary on "the way we live now" -- Ms. Gerwig asks the eternal artistic question, by presenting us with (not to put too fine a point on it) "a doll's life." Granted, it's a simple idea -- but one that's breathtaking in its ambition and chutzpah, given Barbie's iconic status and universal presence in American homes. It may be a tad melodramatic, to compare Ms. Gerwig's film to Theo Angelopoulos making "The Travelling Players" during the Regime of the Colonels -- but I can't deny that's what came to mind. And finally, there's this: Isn't "art" supposed to reflect the word around us? When we're in-line these days at a WalMart or Costco -- or we're walking through Disneyland or New York City with our families on vacation -- doesn't the environment today more resemble Barbie's beach in Ms. Gerwig's film -- than it does an episode of "Father Knows Best" or "The Andy Griffith Show"? People tend to forget, I think, that the artist's "job" is to reflect the world as it is -- and then contemplate what that means -- all in the knowledge that "no matter what," the so-called Human Condition has never changed. (Which is why Greek tragedies & Shakespeare still speak so powerfully to us today, despite their absence of airplane travel and microwave ovens.) At the end of the day, people who make their living on social media arguing about Ms. Gerwig's casting choices -- whether they're "Pro" or "Con" -- are missing the point, I think. Something 100% of we humans has, is an internal life...and that's something no amount of "diversity" -- or lack thereof -- is capable of changing, any more than it can change the fact that fish swim, and birds fly. It's one of the things that makes each of our lives so unique, and so precious. And like all works of art, I suspect that will enable Ms. Gerwig's film to endure -- to be pondered by future generations, many of whom won't have "grown up with" Barbie dolls. Last but not least, a final measure of Ms. Gerwig's artistry, is the song Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas wrote for the film. Their music has always been intensely personal, but sometimes one artist can "inspire" another -- and the moving lyrics to their Barbie theme song would suggest that this is what happened here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lYtsuK58adHUhNI.html

@@kbanghart Thanks, I didn't know that was an option. I don't usually comment, but while the movie isn't for me -- you can't help but notice what a big deal it seems to be...and I just thought Ms. Gerwig was very impressive. I guess it's possible to be happy someone who's trying to make art -- while being entertaining at the same time -- is having notable success...without buying a ticket to their film.

Sunny is one of the most divisive people in media. People like her are the biggest reason that this country is so divided.

Leave it to sunny to make it about her and her struggles . God forbidden she doesn’t mention her suggest and hardship she had to go through. Sunny genuinely loves playing the victim in everything

1968 - Mattel produced 'Christie' an African American Doll that is a FOB - 'Friend of Barbie. In 1980, Mattel produced the first African American Doll that was actually named 'Barbie'. So, there was black representation by Mattel in 1968 ... but she was named 'Christie' instead of 'Barbie'. So, Sunny could have played with a black doll by Mattel when she was a child, the doll just would have been named 'Christie' instead of 'Barbie'. These facts can be verified with simple Google searches using these key words.

1968 1st black barbie

I didn't ever think about Barbie as a standard when I was a little girl. I just wanted all the clothes and the accessories to change.

there's an idea for the sequel ken tells his side of the story

The first weekend of Barbie brought in Internationally $377 Million Dollars. I didn’t think this type of movie would be that successful. It broke multiple records. Curious if it breaks even more records.

barbie is famous in every country of the world so it has a fan base.

This interview is so telling xD A feminist movie made by almost women and only women here as talkshow guests - And they talked literally only about the only male actor in the movie.

I have "Barbie Girl" on continuous loop!!! Hi ya barbie!!!

Everyone talks about how Margot is “objectified”. Then the *ENTIRE* panel objectifies Ryan Gosling. 🤦‍♂️

The lady in the black dress kills the vibes everytime she speaks,,

Sunny is such a downer. She said she didn't grow up with Barbie cause she was biracial and didn't have dolls that represented her. B.S. In, the 1970s, I, a little blonde girl, had a black Barbie (Christy) and a Cher doll (American Indian) to go with my blonde Barbies. I loved them all.

She has major problems.. identity obsession

Not true, Whoopie - according to the creator, Ken was assigned a "bump". Lmao😂 Btw ❤ the set.

Whoppi was present on this interivew and then she says on another outlet that Conservatives are going crazy and this is JUST A DOLL MOVIE. But Whoopi, The writer of the movie herself was on your show and SHE explained that this sis NOT just a doll movie! Were you at your own show? lol...This is NOT a kid's movie, that's the point. This is not JUST a doll movie, that's the point. Whoppi, I love you, but you've MISSED THE POINT of how the movie wanted to be seen. We WISH this was just a doll movie, but unfortunately, it's not :(

Two movies, Oppenheimer and Barbie. One is a real bomb, The other is Oppenheimer!!!!!!!!

What was Whoopi rambling about at the end? Loved Greta. She radiates intelligence to me and I really love what she has to say

gretas face during whoopies takes😬

It's interesting how Sunny keeps this "interracial" talking point into blocks, but yet normal, she is like, "I'm black," lol ... why because your mommy is there today and you normally exclude your other side

I burst out laughing when teenage girl delivered her NPC speech about Barbie dolls.

I loved Barbie growing up. Not once, did I ever think I had to look like Barbie.

The View 🤢 and playing the double standard card, its not ok to criticize Barbie (Margot) but Ken (Ryan) abs thats totally fine. Smh.

And yet we never hear a peep about the "unrealistic body image" of literally every boys action figure, comic book character, cartoon, superhero, or action star... wonder why that is.

Sunny wrong! I had two black Barbies. I bought those with my owe $$$ In the 70’s. I was born in 1964!

It’s clear that none of them saw the film. Or they would RAVE about it more than the go see it it’s a lot of fun….I’ve seen it and it’s a riot!!!

At least one of them did.

Joy Behar could have at least watched the film before Greta Gerwig came to the show. She is a respected director and it's not a stretch to watch the film.

Greta is a phenomenal talent.

for me it was light brite and spirograph and science kits, then came the hippie dolls, Angie, Dawn, etc. liked them more, all different colors, but all with long straight hair. Anyone else remember them? no clothes to buy, etc. just cool ladies being cool/

Sunny can’t hide the fact she preferred Oppenheimer

Ryan gosling made that movie 🎥 iconic. Period. I laughed and cried 🎉

We a laughed at Tec Kaczynski but a cabin in northen idaho is looking pretty good rn

Well even though I personally think Ryan was perfect for Ken, I think the issue people had was the age.
