If you’d told me five years ago that there would be a Barbie movie that somehow was not only just not a cash grab or nostalgia bait but also a genuinely amazing piece of cinema with an amazing message to boot I’d never believe you.

    Hm. Total cash grab in my eyes. Wasn’t necessarily a bad production, but the message the movie tried to get across has been heard far, wide, and loud by the time it was released. So they really just made something for a modern (if not to say “woke”) audience to maximize returns.

      Almost as if women have been saying the same things for ages while still being oppressed. Just barely a year before the release Roe v. Wade was overturned.
