Barbie is a contradiction

"Barbie has always symbolized that women have choices." (Ruth Handler: Barbie's inventor)*1

As the girls play with baby dolls, a huge and confident Barbie doll appears. A girls' rebellion begins. Angry girls. Shocked by the absolute impact of Barbie dolls, the girls destroy the baby dolls in their hands one after another. The opening scene of ``Barbie'' (23), which is a parody of Stanley Kubrick's timeless masterpiece ` `2001: A Space Odyssey '' (1968), accurately expresses the conflicting emotions presented by the film. There is. This opening scene is more than just a depiction of the birth of the Barbie doll, which replaced the popular baby dolls of the time. The birth of the Barbie doll is both new creation and destruction. It is both advanced and backward at the same time.

The history of admiration and hatred for Barbie dolls, and the birth of Barbie dolls, are depicted with grand absurdity.

Four years before Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, Barbie headed into space. Barbie has run for president every time since 1992.

Since its creation, Barbie has been at the forefront of the role of the adult role model that young girls dream of.

Meanwhile, Barbie (Margot Robbie), a white blonde with an impossibly toned waist and slender legs, is, as the film's girl Sasha (Ariana Greenblood) points out, ``an anti-feminist... He has been criticized for being the culprit for causing the country to retreat. In 1972, protests erupted over claims that it was sexist and materialistic. Looking like Barbie and dating a man like Ken isn't necessarily an "adult role model." That opinion is overwhelmingly correct. As cast member Issa Rae puts it, Barbie gives kids a chance to play an all-powerful god, but it also "makes them conscious of race at an early age."

But as an example of an answer to criticism of Barbie dolls, Meg Cabot, author of ``The Princess Diaries,'' taught us that Barbie's looks don't really matter and that we can be anything, just like Barbie. Some argue that this is what is important.

Directed by Greta Gerwig, who has worked with Saoirse Ronan on such defining films of the new era as ` `Lady Bird '' (2017) and ``Little Women '' (2019). This work does not completely deny the progressiveness and regressiveness, admiration and hatred of Barbie dolls, but depicts them as two sides of the same coin, as ambivalent and contradictory. Greta Gerwig loves the contradictions of Barbie and our world.
