I'm a BBQ, in your backyard. Melting plastic, it's fantastic!
Come on, J. Robert. Let's go party.
Feeling ko di iaaddress ng movie yung excessive consumerism associated with Barbie. Baka parang SATC yung take nila, na yung fashion and accessories ay kailangan para sa self-actualization, na totoo naman, kaso dapat ibalanse sa climate change issues and how the fashion industry is a contributor to the problem.
I'm so demanding, I know. ๐ Naniniwala kasi ako sa kasabihang, "with great power comes great expectations." So nag expect ang lola mo.
Knowing Gerwig, those themes might make it to the movie. But I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't either since hindi papayag Mattel na ilicense movie nila just to have their company criticized.
I don't mind spoilers. Kapag napanood mo na, please lemmy know if I'll be disappointed or not.
Here's Phil Dy's review of Barbie on Letterboxd.
An excerpt of the review
Thanks. I expected that naman, given it's Gerwig. At expected ko din na may commentary sa capitalism, given the characters in suits.
I just want more ๐
Isa pa pala na feeling ko hindi matatackle, yung class issue within the Barbie world, yung difference between playline at collector Barbie.
