Aren't the roles being reversed just how it is irl? I think that's part of the commentary the movie was trying to make. And the pain of not having full equality at the end is just a morsel of what women feel all the time

I agree. This video was to say the movie wasn’t being sexist towards men as a lot of critics claim. Maybe later, I'll do more of an in-depth analysis.

"not having full equality at the end is just a morsel of what women feel all the time" And that right there is what a lot of women - and men - are ticked off about. STOP speaking for other women. You do not have the right to be our voice. There are those who do NOT feel that all the time. That's just stupid and if you honestly feel that way, then that's YOUR issue. Not mine. Get over yourself.

Women are equal though. In most countries, apart from the middle eastern. It also portrayed men as bad, when everything that happened in the movie, happens to men too.

“I stopped watching Matt Walsh and I recommend everyone else does that as well.” 💀 thanks for the fun review! One thing I would say, though, it’s not about men and women seeing the world differently, it’s about the world treating them differently. I have explained to a man about certain dangerous situations I have been in while just walking down the street and their response was, “well what were you wearing.” They could not understand how simply existing in a public space put me on the radar of some unsavory people. I really don’t think it’s a problem of perception but a problem of the world genuinely treating men and women differently. Anyway, great video!

Thanks for watching all the way through. From the some of the comments I am getting, this is an eye opener for me too.

Where was the part in your gender reversal where they call her useless and at the end call her a little less useless. People aren't outraged because the film if attacking men, they're mad because the Kens are treated as shit on a sidewalk and then say that's how it is for women in the real world which is false. When the Kens took over they still showed love, respect and compassion towards the Barbies despite them being indifferent about their existance. Ryan plays the perfect role of an insecure teen with a crush. The movie spreads the perfect message to men: you are enough to become the best version of you. It also spreads the worst message to girls: you are perfect the way you are and you don't need to change, the world needs to change for you.

What movie did you watch? When the Kens took over they treated the Barbies like servants. Hear that? It’s the sound of the point flying riiiiiight over your head.

WoW excellent production, I'm blown away! Really good content! Agree with your take, the movie way better then it deserved to be. Felt pretty balanced except for the weird Mattel portrayal - I think they missed an opportunity there.

7:23 - I just can't take this line seriously. The movie was representing the real world as a place where women don't have any power and even had the mom monologue for a few minutes about everything that's expected from women. I felt like the line: "...and one day Ken's will have as much power and influence in Barbieland as women have in the real world" was a jab and a twist of the knife. Barbieland is staying the same, Kens won't even have a right to vote yet, but "one day" for sure, pinkie promise. That power and influence line wasn't saying to me that Kens and Barbies will be equal in Barbieland, it was saying it will be just as unequal as the real world, just with the genders flipped. I honestly don't know if that line was meant as a joke, but it was specifically pointing out the inequality between genders and whether you take the real world or the "real world in Barbie" as the comparison for how the Kens' future will it look like, it will not be equal until the real world changes to be equal.

Yes. At theaters, I remove my hearing aids and it's still too loud,. The opening sequence was worth the price of admission. I didn't take the movie personally because it seemed aimed at a stereotype rather than actual men. I think the sensitivity comes from a generation of TV commercials where the woman shows up the man. That gets very, very old. I was also out of sorts for days when a woman got in an elevator with me, and waited until I had exited before choosing a different floor. (A black college student said that he could stop people from crossing the street to avoid him by whistling Vivaldi). I take Morgan's point because in the mainstream media I read (Washington Post, New York Times), you'll see feminist, man-blaming articles often, but not one that blames women for anything. It's inconceivable. That makes me very tired. It primes the right-wing echo chamber to howls. I don't howl, but I do know what they mean.

I get what you’re saying. There are a lot of man-haters out there. I just didn’t see that in this movie.

I agree with you that this wasn't a movie that hated on men, but I also don't think this movie was feminist at all. I think there were a lot of layers underneath a feminist promotion. A lot of the messages were pretty anti-feminist. I'm not really looking to argue about it politically but I know there's going to be a few who do. But I agree with you for the most part. Barbie was kind of a bit evil, Ken wasn't dumb just naive and the movie doesn't hate on anyone in particular. It was more a movie about self discovery than it was anything else. The feminists will see it as feminists and will have good points to why they do and the antis will see it as anti and have good points too. I think that's what was done right. It was in your face funny without pushing any real specific agenda. I had to go see it with my niece and I thought I was going to be rolling my eyes the entire time but I actually got really invested. ... even as someone on the right with more conservative values. That was the magic of the movie for the most part. We live in a super divisive time and jump to conclusions too quickly. But if we could both right a college length essay on why the movie agrees with our side and both get a high grade than it probably doesn't align well with either. Edit** no never mind you lost me when you tried to reverse the movie lmao. No shade but I don't feel that it was even close to being similar. Like I said in my original part of the comment I think Barbie was just political enough to get people talking about it without being in your face. And the moment you take away the "supposed to be dating" aspect and trade it for "brother sister" you've already changed too much.

@thatguidewithglasses

Thanks for commenting. As you said, I don't want to get too political but the whole "supposed to be dating" wasn't the overarching point of the Barbie and Ken dynamic. It's more the main character (or in this case franchise) and the gender swapped to counterpart.

@@thatguidewithglasses The way I saw it, and this is what I love most about the movie, is that it can be viewed in so many ways. For me personally Ken felt like he had a duty to Barbie since they were literally made for each other. He even touched on it a few times. I'm sure you've heard this argument before but every Ken lived for the Barbies. But it's made clear they don't have a home to go in. My opinion is if you take away that drive for him... just wanting his Barbie ti acknowledge him. It was a bit sadl

Did you really just spend the past several months thinking about this? Wow. I'll be honest, it would've been less weird if you'd made this video last year. I thought the Barbie movie was fine except that it should've been a full-blown musical. It feels like a musical.
