How was the Barbie movie, which showed that it was ambitious enough to be released on the same day as Oppenheimer? Our comments about the movie we watched are in the continuation of the news..
“Barbie or Oppenheimer?” Today we had the opportunity to preview Barbie, the first element of the equation. First of all, I would like to point out that before I start the article; The movie theater, where the preview was held, was really wonderfully designed. It had decorative decorations all over it, unique to the “Barbie” brand. Before watching the movie, I can say that we were fascinated while walking around.

First of all, if I need to talk about the main subject of the movie; Living “perfectly and happily” in their own worlds, Barbie and Ken travel from their own worlds to the real world we live in for various reasons. After the characters transition to the real world, some events develop within the film, with emphasis on Feminism, patriarchy and Feminaziism.
Although Barbie is enjoyable to watch and has a high tempo, it is a very simple and not good movie to be objective, especially in terms of the scenario. While watching the movie, he contradicted himself at some points and said, “How can this be now? So how did this happen? It can’t be logically possible?” You find yourself asking such questions.
Unfortunately, such incidents prevent you from concentrating on the film seriously. The movie, which started so well, turns into an almost mandatory PSA after the last half hour. In this way, I can say that he ignores everything he has built throughout the whole movie.
As I said while talking about the main subject of the movie, you feel like you are watching a commercial that wants to convey a social message by defending both the male and female sides in various places about feminism, patriarchy and feminazi that you knew during the film process. A message flows from every corner of the film, and after a while, the audience faints. Especially the last 30 minutes of the movie takes you completely away from the movie.
Besides all this, if we look at the good aspects of the movie, I have to say that Barbie is definitely one of the interesting and unique movies. In particular, the venue designs and the costumes of the characters in the movie were very beautiful to fascinate the audience.
If we talk about the actor performances, this is one of the best parts of the movie. Especially Ryan Gosling has shown an excellent acting, I seriously can’t imagine what it would be like if another actor played the character of Ken instead of Ryan Gosling, because it just doesn’t fit my head. Likewise, Margot Robbie portrayed the character of Barbie in the best way possible and was able to make the audience experience certain special emotions in certain scenes.
I want to open a separate title for the humor of the movie because certain jokes seriously had the whole audience laughing. There were also very good messages for both the women’s side, the men’s side and the whole society directly in the film.
To sum it up, Barbie was a movie exactly as I expected. I wish the intense PR work that was not done in any movie was done in better movies instead of Barbie. It’s not a legendary movie, but I’d say it was a good experience. We can say that Greta Gerwig has adapted Barbie beautifully to the cinema. I wish the issue of sexism hadn’t been taken up so much. I think I’d say get #Barbie out of the way before watching a more complicated movie like the Oppenheimer movie.
