Based king. Love your reactions and seeing you being willing to call out these dipshits is nice.

It really is a shame that you didn’t seem to understand that that the movie was about feminism and kenism because for their entire existence the kens were treated very poorly. And I also want to point out the issue with the ending that if I remember correctly she says I can’t let you choose it without seeing what it’s like but bro literally didn’t show her anything bad.

👏👏

The movie has a good point about feminism (altough very basic, i guess that's still what we need) but we shouldn't forget the consumerism/capitalism that barbie was always about too. You were right when you said "this feels like a commercial" in the beginning. It is a commercial and marttell knows damn well that being selfaware about their flaws is the best advertisement they can get to sell more and not change anything.. i enjoyed your reaction though :)

@@MAJIMAXKIRYU69 As a non-woman you missed the joke at the end. One of the bad parts about being a woman is having to go to the gynecologist.😆🤣😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 So the secret, she told her at the end was all about her body, and how she would have to care for it.💜👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😂🤣😂🤷🏻‍♀️✌🏼

Why are you sorry? 😐

I’m 50/50 on it, it’s hilarious but it disrupts the tone of the scene

@@bombird8813 yeah, in the first time I saw I really liked it, but now rewatching it’s a little out of the line

While I was in the theatre everyone laughed it was great

@@Justaguy109it was definitely made for a theater laugh. I loved it in the moment but I haven’t rewatched it yet and I can see how it might rub some viewers the wrong way

Lol, now I want to see all the takes to see other things he yelled

I wanna know how many takes they did where everyone jsut cracked up laughing because of how unhinged Ryan was

Yeah, Greta said Margot cracked up at weird stuff that Ryan would do and ruined takes all the time. Ken putting on two pairs of sunglasses was a random Ryan thing that ended up in the movie. Greta said they’d have to cut away from Margot frames before she broke and if you watch closely you can see her start to fall apart all over the movie.

He did?

​@@jazzycat8917So do I

I had one of those - it was really cool 😊

I can see why people would find it weird even without the teen pregnancy aspect.

Midge was my most played with barbie! Loved her

@@FoxyGuyHeretbh, i think i was too young to understand anything beyond how cool the mechanic was. it was interesting bc it had like a false double tummy so when you'd pop the baby out (or put back in).. you had to push a normal cut out shape of her stomach in for the baby, then pop the stomach on top where it could click (iirc). thinking about it in hindsight.. it makes me wonder if there really was a statistical reason to worry about teen pregnancy correlating to a Barbie that i remember playing with when probably 5. idk, maybe weird, maybe a bit of an over exaggeration of Mattel. idk. i just thought it was a cool difference than other Barbies b/c of the mechanics.

@@sophie-yq5ft i don't have too much memory of her beyond just thinking it was a cool difference than other Barbies b/c it was just different. lol.. and i think the discontinuation mightve been a bit of a overexaggeration of Mattel bc Barbie's aren't typically played with by se*ually active teens. idk. i just know it never made me feel weird. i liked her too. you could put little polly pocket figures in there too! lol

This is so relatable. It makes me very sad for all of us. One time I commented on how thoughtful and nice a new coworker was, and he instantly started acting like I had a crush on him. It soured the budding friendship for a while because it made me so uncomfortable and I didn't even want to smile at him because I didn't want to fuel the rumors. I'm not usually out at work because homophobia sucks but I made it a point to come out to him as a lesbian so that I could escape the weirdness 😔😔

Kind of a weird strategy, but if you preface with “dude” or “bro,” guys are much less likely to take it as flirting (as confirmed by my guy friends). So something like, “Duuuude, I really like your tank top.” 😂

@@secondsea2in my experience the results were the same, because it seems that calling them dude or bro means that nothings off limits if that makes sense

Word

Same here

The set design was freaking incredible. They made it look exactly like the old play sets I used to have. Also the costume design, I’m pretty sure I used to have those roller skating outfits

My (male) partner made an interesting point about Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie - before they took these roles, both of them were known for playing roles within the gender stereotypes. Gosling is the guy from Drive, and was essentially the Chad figure all men aspired to be (in the most toxic way possible, as he put it) - and Margot played very se-ualised roles like Harley Quinn. So for them to act in this movie is almost a response and a REJECTION of the stereotypes that they previously embodied; which just adds a whole other layer. He actually said he didn't think the Ken storyline would work as well as it did if ANYONE other than Gosling had played that part.

They following Japanese rules lol (women get arrested for fighting back against molesters there)

@@BelBelle468 This happens everywhere. As far back as the Victorian era, there were issues with European women stabbing men with hat pins (because the men were trying to SA them, and they were defending themselves) and instead of dealing with the SA problem, the governments decided to ban the hat pins that women were using to defend themselves. Because to them, that was the problem. Not the fact that women were being SA'd to the point where they needed to stab the men - the problem, in the government's eyes, was the stabbing.

Let's take a look at the real law. Touching a butt cheek is not assault, sexual assault, or rape. However, in some states including California, it can be classified as "Sexual Battery" and is a misdemeanor unless certain other conditions exist, none of which existed in tha scene. So the guy who slapped Barbie's butt would be found guilty of Sexual Battery under California State Law if she presses charges and sufficient evidence can be presented. However, punching somebody in the face is also Battery, which could be a misdemeanor or could be a felony. Generally in California the difference is whether the victim is a public servant (police officer, mailman, etc.) or whether the victim suffered "great bodily injury". That second consideration is deliberately vague and often up to the victim and their lawyer to present justification, and then for the judge to decide. Generally, it's not a good idea to commit a felony in response to a misdemeanor. For example, if she broke the guy's nose and caused a concussion, two very real possible outcomes when punching a person in the face, this is likely felony assault and battery. The guy gets a misdemeanor charge for slapping her butt (generally just a fine) but she goes to jail, potentially for a year or two. Now, courts are interesting places. Maybe her lawyer could bargain that down for provocation and lack of premeditation. Also, for no good reason, courts and juries usually go very hard on male crimes against females but very soft on female crimes against males. It should not matter. None of the penal codes specify sex or gender in the definitions of the crimes or statutes for punishment, so judges and juries should treat all assault the same, regardless of what sex or gender the perpetrator and victim happen to be. In short: Barbie committed a crime. At a minimum, it's misdemeanor assault and battery. She will likely not be convicted or sent to jail because it was provoked and because she's a girl who hit a guy, fair or not. But that is not for the arresting officer to decide - she needs to be arrested and booked so that proper legal procedure can be followed and a court date can be set. The other guy committed a crime too: sexual battery. We only see Barbie's booking and not the slapper guy because seeing his booking isn't funny and doesn't move the story in any way.

yeah, I had two 9 year old girls in front of me with their mom when I saw it, there were a decent amount of kids there so it was a good move to go simple.

It's good representation

IMO, this movie felt like „How to feminism“ - in the best way possible. They just said almost everything that everyone needs to hear at some point in their life, if you know what I mean

As simple as it was, it sure pissed off a lot of dudes. 😂😂😂😂

@@karlmortoniv2951 It sure did 😏

I was alos thinking about how men laugh at Ken. But Ken's role in Barbieland is to be treated as women do irl, which I've seen women realise way quicker than men!

thanks for specifying "some men" as a man myself who enjoyed this movie i dont like how hatred of this movie by some men is labelled by pretty much every comment ive read before as "hatred by men"

That’s actually a really good theory and something I never thought about.

@@eKko0 oh there are def good men out there. There’s a thing called the “Barbie test”, where women take their boyfriends to this movie and see if they get offended. If they like the movie or arent offended, they’re a keeper.

El mismo Alan que literalmente casi no tiene líneas y cuya participación se reduce a celebrar la victoria vestido de rosa. Claro que gran ejemplo. El tipo es un extra!! De que rayos están hablando?? Y claro olvidemos como asumen que cada hombre en el mundo real o son acosadores o son estúpidos. Comparto que la película no es para tanto, no tiene sentido enojarse con una película, pero tampoco quieran convencer de lo contrario. De que es una maravilla y que representa bien a todos. Por favor no te mientas. Es una película para que las mujeres se sientan bien. Y no hay nada de malo en ello, pero no por eso voy a aplaudirla y llamarla de las mejores películas que he visto.

You dont say

@@paulinegallagher7821 haha, I do say, but which statement clicked w/you?

@@paulinegallagher7821 Judging by the video reactor’s comment, they didn’t get the reference either or at least didn’t mention getting the reference.

I actually downloaded I’m just Ken from iTunes after watching the movie cause it’s such a catchy song.

She is! She's been a costume designer for decades.

Ann Roth, two-time Oscar winner for costume design

One of them even said “isn’t this all people?” I think the difference is that it affects women way more than men. For women it’s like she’s talking about their personal issues, whereas for men it’s just “isn’t that me sometimes?? Isn’t that everyone sometimes?”.

​@@BelBelle468They just had to insert themselves in the narrative somehow. It's a movie about women and what they go through and that makes men uncomfortable. "but what about me?" IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU

@@erikperhs_ ...or maybe they were just empathizing

@@BelBelle468 Is that really such a terrible question to ask?

While I personally like and agree with the sentiment they were push him with that monologue it did feel a little too heavy handed, even for this movie

Fr, I mean personally I don't compliment anyone because I don't talk to anyone for the most part but some men really do be doing it to themselves. And it sucks because for the men who aren't like that, like my boyfriend for example, they won't see it as romantic they'll just see it as a compliment. But because of the guys who make it weird for women to compliment or for even compliments toward women from men, it's making everything just confusing and making everyone have to walk on eggshells. My boyfriend loves it when I compliment him or call him handsome or anything, so I like to do it a lot because he's always happy with being appreciated and showed love and care. It's men like him that suffer from the creeps. And don't get me wrong, some women are also at fault for that. Some do be nice and flirty with men and give them mixed signals whether it's for them to be a tease or for them to get into the guys pants. And in turn that hurts the women genuinely being nice and friendly and just trying to compliment people. Both genders are at fault at different sides of the spectrum. It's the men and women who make these trends and stereotypes who are basically what people think of when thinking men and women and it sucks. We need to normalise being human and just being good to each other. Normally. With no strings attached or underlying plans. Though I doubt we'll ever get that advanced mentally and emotionally because people are stupid, not everyone is the same or has that same mental capacity to understand that, and there will always be bad people in the world. I just hope that one day society will realise.

well said.

Crazy, stupid, love is such a good movie. Excellent casting

Would be a good movie to react too!!

Lol same. Ever seen ‘safety not guaranteed’?

Interesting. I found the scene superfluous. It did nothing for me emotionally. Yeah the old lady saying she knows she is beautiful is kinda funny. But who says „you’re beautiful“ to a random stranger? Yeah maybe it was supposed to emphasize the awe of aging vs the everlasting artificial beauty of Barbie, but meh. It was random and cringe. Although I like the movie there were several cringeworthy things in it that could have been left out. The speech for example. I absolutely loved the Ken fighting scenes, Ken‘s song and the dance battle. That was absolutely awesome.

Lars and the Real Girl is one of my fave movies of all time. Definitely quieter than the action films, but really really good.

*The Nice Guys

@@meganega123 The Kind Boys

The old lady was Ruth Handler, the creator of Barbie, and she named Barbie after her daughter Barbara.

Actress Rhea Perlman was Ruth Handler, the woman who created Barbie. Just to make sure there is no confusion--Ann Roth, a costume designer is the old woman Barbie meets at the park bench.

Never go to any movie with high expectations.

She was also in the new Always Sunny episode The Gang Gets Cursed (which makes sense given the Danny Devito connection)

@@corgio1260 yeah I forgot all about that one, I gotta rewatch Sunny, I’m a philly guy so Im always hyped with that show

From my understanding while they are still technically married they’ve separated and aren’t planning to get back together. They said they don’t see a need to go through actual divorce proceedings.

Found it absolutely cringe 😅😬

Her daughter is named Sasha, which is the name of the head Bratz doll, so I wouldn't be surprised if this were true! All her friends look like the other Bratz dolls. 😂

For real and it’s a shame but I also love how they did that. Like the Barbie with a TV screen in her back lmao “that’s no way to live”

Stay was weird, i liked it

Ryan gosling absolutely killed it in this. He was so funny

​@@roedhunt Maybe you should take some time away from the internet. Your comments seem quite restless and angry. Who hurt you?

Drive is also an amazing movie with Ryan Gosling. He’s sublime lol

But yeah oh my gosh, very happy you’re reacting to this movie, the music and sets are so nice- and I cried three times hsgfjgsgds

YES

So true I'm jealous of his hair
