Barbieland is like, totally a female utopia. But, like, by the end of the movie, you totally see the flaw in that – I mean, having a hierarchy in someone’s power isn’t always the best thing, you know? But it’s fun, it’s super pretty.

Barbie serves as a prominent symbol of feminism, residing in a society where women hold positions of power. This is evident in the film’s tagline:

“She’s Everything. He’s Just Ken.”

Ryan Gosling, the actor portraying Barbie’s romantic partner, expressed that his decision to participate in the film was influenced by his own children.

Ryan mentioned that both the Barbie doll and the accompanying film coincidentally arrived at their residence simultaneously. I encountered a situation resembling a Barbie avalanche, which required my attention and consideration.

One day, I unexpectedly discovered a Ken doll in the backyard. To my astonishment, I found myself transformed into the likeness of the doll in the blink of an eye. Ryan said.

It is challenging to recall another recent film that has generated such a high level of anticipation as this new Barbie film. In fact, it may even surpass the level of excitement surrounding Daniel Craig’s most recent portrayal of James Bond, which was eagerly awaited following numerous delays.

Barbie is seriously popular, like seriously! She’s been around for a whopping 64 years and still brings in crazy sales for Mattel. It’s pretty amazing, right? And get this, Gerwig, the director of the Barbie movie, had a blast working with the toymaker. They were super cool and let her have total creative freedom with their beloved brands. How awesome is that?

Similar to other successful brands, the doll has undergone diversification throughout its history. In addition to the physical toys, video games, TV shows, and films, Barbie has also served as an inspiration to various individuals.

Notably, British artist Emma Gibbons is presently showcasing her collection of “Barbiecore” artwork in an exhibition located in London.

Gerwig mentioned that they have incorporated various items, such as Barbie shoes, tiaras, and other miscellaneous objects, into their artistic endeavours for an extended period of time. The visual appeal, characterised by vibrant neon colours and shimmering elements, aligns seamlessly with my artistic style.

During my childhood, Barbie held a diverse range of esteemed professions such as a pilot, firefighter, and doctor.

Her portrayal as a multifaceted individual resonated with me, as she embodied the ideals of feminism during that time. She also assumed various professional roles in addition to being a housewife, which allowed children to have more opportunities to create their own games.

One of Gibbons’ artworks, titled “Bad Barbie,” features a vintage profile characterised by a stylish ponytail, meticulously crafted using the artist’s distinctive glittery pink pill capsules and crystals. This particular piece caught the attention of Robbie while she was engaged in filming, as her trainer fortuitously encountered it at an art fair and promptly acquired it.

Gibbons attributes the appeal of Barbie to its aesthetic qualities, as well as the nostalgia it evokes.

“Especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals express a genuine desire to experience a sense of upliftment,” she stated. The sentiment of nostalgia also holds significant influence, as it is a potent tool.

Additionally, there is a genuine sense of empowerment and liberation. Numerous individuals approached me during the exhibition opening, expressing their long-standing desire to wear the outfit they had on, but were previously hesitant to do so. Barbie provides individuals with the opportunity to express their extravagant and exuberant personalities. Please feel free to express your thoughts and opinions without any limitations.

Undoubtedly, Barbie has established herself as an iconic figure, and this upcoming film will undoubtedly solidify her status among a new generation of enthusiasts.

The future will determine how she will further adjust, but it appears highly likely that she will remain present long after the excitement surrounding this film has subsided.

The film “Barbie” will be released in cinemas across the United Kingdom on July 21st.
