The Real-World Effects onBarbie
WhileBarbiewas this hilarious film that never took itself too seriously, brilliant themes of societal toxicity and how it pertains to both masculinity and feminism grounded this satire in something deeply real. Once Ken and Barbie put on those rollerblades their lives would forever change. Barbie had the soul-crushing revelation that she and her fellow Barbies haven’t helped women in the real world, while Ken hysterically gets power-hungry when he finds out that men have all the power. This leads tothe Kenstaking overBarbie Landwith horses, trucks, campfire singalongs, and boys' nights. The implications of this lovable pair going to the real world put a spotlight on how different Barbie and Ken actually are. Ken was so desperately trying to get Barbie to love him that he was blind to the fact that he didn’t even know himself and Barbie’s realization of what women deal with on a daily basis started the famous doll’s emotional path to become human. Those two separate journeys all started with Ken and Barbie putting on those rollerblades.
