The beauty of pink and "Barbie" should not be underestimated

On a hot summer evening, I walked into the cinema and watched the movie "Barbie".

After watching the movie, the feeling is like Margot Robbie, who plays Barbie, said in the promotional film: "This movie is very superficial and profound. ”

Lin Fengjun highly recommends all mothers, sisters, and daughters, and if the man next to him is also understanding, he can also walk into the cinema together, and feel the profound discussion of feminism in this light comedy under the romantic visual effect of "dopamine powder".

 (80% spoiler for this article, but the joy of walking into the theater will not be discounted)

 You can be beautiful or you can be outstanding,

 The two are not contradictory.

The heroine is a classic Barbie, that is, a Barbie doll with shiny blonde hair, big eyes, white skin, perfect facial features and figure.

At the same time, she is also rich, delicate, loved by everyone, will not get old, will not become ugly, and live happily every day, we know that such a perfect woman, of course, does not exist in the real world.

Indeed, when Barbie came to the real world to get the hugs and compliments of the girls, she was dealt a fatal blow by the stereotype: Barbie's overly perfect body image and excessive praise of consumerism set the feminist movement back at least fifty years.

 But in fact, the birth of Barbie is not superficial.

 Barbie can be anyone,

 Women can be anyone.

Barbie's founder, Ruth Handler, had the vision to "make all girls aware that they can be whatever kind of person they dream to be." ”

In addition to the classic Barbie played by Margot Robbie, Barbie has at least more than 200 professions.

Singers, nurses, policemen, archaeologists, McDonald's cashiers, secretaries, physicists, astronauts and presidents. In the little girl's childhood, Barbie was both a gender enlightenment about self and a career enlightenment about bravely chasing her dreams.

There are also Barbie of various body types, wheelchair Barbie and prosthetic Barbie, bald Barbie, alluding to the imperfect beauty of women and the beauty of stepping out of the norm.

Barbieland和Kendom，

 It is precisely the mirror world of subverted reality.

At the beginning of the movie, it is from the birth of Barbie that the children throw away the baby dolls and stop playing the games of mothers and wives, and they also plant a small fire in their hearts, and they can also engage in many careers when they grow up.

In addition to the heroine in the movie, there are 174 Barbie with different skin colors, figures, and occupations, and even Barbie in a wheelchair appeared at the girlsnight party.

In an era when women couldn't even have their own bank accounts, Barbie had her own house and career, and her boyfriend Ken was only an ancillary, and without Ken, there was only Barbie and Ken.

Ironically, Realword subverts the world built by Barbieland, with the female Barbiland as the female Barbiland and the male Ken as the "second sex", which is exactly the opposite of the real world.

In the real world, under the shell of the patriarchal social operating system, women are oppressed and gazed at by men everywhere.

Ken, who came to the real world with Barbie, learned all about it and changed Barbieland to Kendom and began to implement gender inequality in the real world.

Fortunately, in the end, the Barbie unite and with the help of the real human mother and daughter Sasha, they recapture Barbieland and also show the kind and calm side, Barbie unexpectedly apologizes to Ken "It's no longer Barbie and Ken, but just Barbie, just Ken...... I shouldn't take you for granted. ”

In fact, this is exactly the idea of feminism, women are not hateful to men on the road of chasing their dreams, all we want is to be able to control our own destiny and be treated fairly.

 "Clothing is Barbie's way of expressing herself."

Finally, let's enjoy the wonderful pink outfits in this drama!

Barbie's costumes were taken care of by Jacqueline Durran, who was also the costume designer for "Little Women" and won the 92nd Academy Awards for "Little Women"; Best Costume Design.

 The movie reproduces Barbie's classic look.

Also go back to the 90s when Barbie was born for inspiration. So many of Barbie's looks are more retro, which is very exciting.

After the filming of the movie, the heroine Margot Robbie is still continuing to make Barbie, and the styling during the promotion period of the film is all dreamy Barbie fans.

Just like in the movie, we were sponsored by luxury goods such as CHANEL, FENDI, Bottega Veneta, Versace, etc., and gave us a lot of tips on how to dress in pink.
