The pink wave has yet to crest, the ‘Barbie’ movie has sold more than a billion dollars worth of tickets at the global box office, after just 17 days on general release. The milestone makes #GretaGerwig the first woman to reach the such heights as a solo director.
I went into this movie not knowing what to expect. Honestly, I mostly went because my girlfriend wanted to see it.
I was pleasantly surprised. The movie is hilarious, well-acted, clever, and surprisingly touching. Also, the soundtrack has absolutely no business being as good as it is.
The poster sold me. The quote on it, “Barbie is everything. He’s just Ken.” I knew exactly what I was getting into then and it was going to be excellent.
It was fun, but I did not get what the movie was trying to say
It’s that we all belong and should be working together.
