![]() “Legally Blonde” is a great example of breaking the mold. I don’t think filmmakers understand what empowerment is because they always set up the expectation for women to choose between having a partner or a desired career path.? Must it always be a choice? Is it impossible for a woman have a healthy relationship and follow her dreams? Single women are shown in the name of ‘female empowerment.’ The film either starts with a boyfriend cheating or turning ‘evil’ halfway through for no reason. The issue with movies that have female leads is that most of the time, the lead does not have a supportive partner. In the second half, Ken suddenly turns evil and tries to take over Barbieland most strangely, Barbie states that she wants to be a real human even though she hated being a human and feeling emotion. ![]() In the first half, the Chief Executive Officer of Mattel is evil, and Barbie’s mission is to fix the relationship between stressed mother Gloria and angsty tween Sasha in the real world. Let’s be real here - the movie had many different plotlines with none of them tying together in the end. I personally think that the marketing for the Barbie movie was way more impactful in creating a cultural reset than watching the actual movie itself. I really enjoyed “Barbie,” but I just don’t think it lived up to the hype. As the lights dimmed in the theater, we all held our breaths to watch the movie of the year, if not the decade.Īt least, that’s what the advertisements told us. I went to see the film on the next day with my sister, my friend, and her younger sister of course, we all dressed in pink. It was Friday, July 21 when “Barbie” finally arrived in theater.
