The acting was the worst part of the Barbie movie. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching it in the theater, but no one should be surprised that Margot Robbie didn't catch the nomination when she was up against actual films with real performances in it. The acting in Barbie is just memeable moments for the internet. Mind you, Barbie being nominated for Production Design and Original Song make perfect sense and it'll probably win those categories.
For me the plot was total crap. Like they just wanted men to be retards at any cost. It felt pretty sexist for a movie about equality.
It was also filled with bullshit, like the Mattel board being only male. Same for the supreme court.
It's insane that they also focused on white American women... The most privileged type of woman in the world. Real shit is happening in the middle east, not in New York.
I don't know, it was such a wasted opportunity to actually make a point... They were just too focused trying to make the perfect white woman into a victim and all the males into absolute retards.
“white women swung their Gucci boot over the fence of oppression and stuck themselves at the front of the line”
Their whole point was: "oh no, social expectations" because that's literally the only thing a white American woman can complain about.
"They want you to be nice, they want you to smile, they want you to be pretty"...
Bitch, I can give you a list of 10k lines of expectations women have for men.
"They need to be tall, they need to have money, they need a nice car, they need to provide"
I'm very impressed people actually think it was a good movie about feminism. This isn't what an oppressed woman looks like. An oppressed woman is forced to stay at home and gets her shit beat up if she tries to learn how to read.
"Oh no! The male patriarchy, they want me to dress with girly clothes, I'm oppressed!!" but they see a man wearing a skirt and they laugh.
