I finally went to see the Barbie movie yesterday. Overall, I enjoyed it. I was expecting something like Life-Size or Disney's Enchanted,and that's basically what we got--except even more meta and existential. I had read that was what it would be like, but I still wasn't ready for it! I'd really like to see more of Greta Gerwig's work now since I also enjoyed her version of Little Women (Which is actually the only version of Little Women that I am familiar with in any medium).
I also absolutely loved the soundtrack. I was listening to the songs before the movie came out and will continue doing so now that I've seen it. I could list my favorites, but I would probably list half of the songs in the process. I may make a post about it later.
The movie was pretty quotable, too, and I plan to watch it again once it comes out on streaming! Allan was definitely my favorite and weird Barbie was fun too.
I don't really have anything else to say about it for now. In the meantime, check out these articles about the movie:
Queer Easter eggs in the movie (spoilers)
It is not an explicitly queer film, but the Barbie movie does have quite a few queer references.
The discontinued dolls in the Barbie movie
As the link says, this is an article about the various discontinued and controversial dolls featured in the movie. I knew about Earring Magic Ken and pregnant Midge, but I had no idea about the history of the others.
