hi everyone I hope you're all well so unless you've been living under a rock for the past
week you'll know the Barbie movie came out in cinemas on July 21st and you'll know that on
its opening weekend it did absolute gangbusters in fact Barbie director Greta gerbig has made history
since Barbie had the biggest opening weekend ever for a film directed by a woman now generally
speaking the film has been reviewed exceptionally well by the mainstream media and even scored an
equal critics and viewer consensus of 90 on review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes which is rare
and I suppose it does make sense I mean Barbie is a cultural icon spanning generations of course
it's going to evoke a certain Nostalgia among audiences both young and old at least among the
politically apathetic however for those of us who are attuned to cultural Trends shall we say
and to the nefarious forces that control them we could clearly sense the ideological spearm
that permeates this ROM pretty much from start to finish it's about as subtle as a sledgehammer
to the face in short despite its Chic exterior the Barbie movie is a flaming pile of 90s Third
Way feminist garbage and it made me want to pull out my own teeth not only that the movie
is emblematic of what I have been saying for years which is that feminists don't actually
want equality they don't even just want special treatment they literally want Female Supremacy
they want to wreak revenge on the entirety of the male species for a patriarchal past even the men
who had nothing to do with that and the world and themes presented in the Barbie movie are a
disturbing glimpse into the neo-fascist feminist oppression state in which those feminists would
like to put men it's like a dictatorial misandrist fever dream disguised as simply trying to subvert
certain cult societal tropes the rank hatred of and contempt for men that must pump through
the veins of the people who wrote and directed this film for them to unironically and in good
conscience even think of this as a concept for any movie let alone to actually create
the thing and put it on screen should make every man in the world very very frightened
but look I'll start this video with a few things that were good about the film I don't want to be
all doom and gloom and as the saying goes no blessed oblige Ryan Gosling as Ken is amazing
he is so funny he's completely adorable and his performance is also really moving like you really
feel for the character and I was wholly impressed by his quite excellent dancing skills which is
really no surprise given his you know performance history behold Ryan Gosling in 1992. [Music]
thank you
similarly Margot Robbie is just gorgeous aside from being just about the most genetically blessed
person ever to walk planet Earth she's also a wonderful actress and makes what is ultimately
written as a very Bland boring role into a very sweet heartfelt performance there was honestly a
point during the film after I realized the whole thing was a feminist hellscape when I whispered
to my husband who was sitting next to me oh well I'll just sit here and enjoy looking at Margot
Robbie for the rest of the film love her also the sets costumes and general design are beautiful I
want to live in one of the Barbie dream houses and obviously I want to own all of the Barbie
dresses Barbie land looks real enough that you can Envision yourself living there but still
artificial enough that it's totally distinct from The Real World great job on all of that and also
is quite interesting that throughout the movie they mentioned various discontinued Barbies and
Ken's like pregnant Barbie and sugar daddy Ken all of which is quite cool so it's not like I hated
the whole thing it was a visual Feast with some lovely performances but sadly that wasn't enough
to save this film from itself it being of course a tacky feminist romp that does nothing but crap
on about culture War battles that were fought and won in the 90s and early 2000s this is one
of the things I really hate about Gen X and Gen Y third wave feminists they insist on rehashing the
same stuff over and over and over again like there's been zero progress made even though
actually nowadays just about everyone agrees with them yes Greta Gerwig we agree that cat
calling is bad we agree that it can be difficult and contradictory being a woman sometimes we agree
that women shouldn't be bossed around by Men We agree that women should have equal opportunity
for political and workplace representation we agree we agree we agree we agree we agree
so why did you make a movie that whines about this kind of stuff when it is nothing but Pasay wanky
unfashionable girl boss lean in feminism that lost its relevance in about 2012. some context
for those who haven't seen the movie or watched any commentary on Barbie yet so Barbie lives
in Barbie land which is depicted as the perfect state for society to be in and where the Barbies
have perfect lives however this perfect world is actually a raging matriarchy where the Barbies
have all the political social and corporate power while the Kens are depicted as stupid
and subservient with no influence or power at all and while I know Greta goig is trying to
make some comment on oh no but they're just subverting the way women have been for like
forever girl please women have been running the patriarchy for centuries sure well for a long
time they were relegated to the home they ran the household made all the rules managed the weekly
budget and in some cases actually had control of their husband's paycheck each week spending what
was needed on stuff of the house and then granting their husbands an allowance with whatever happened
to be left over generally speaking the main reason that men do pretty much anything and have ever
done anything is to facilitate the women in their lives and by proxy their children I guarantee
you there has been many a male corporate Tycoon throughout history who has seemingly Run the World
by day but gone home and been scolded relentlessly by his wife for not being home in time for dinner
and told that no he can't actually buy that new set of golf clubs because Jenny and John need to
go to the dentist again plus their private school fees are due and there just isn't enough money for
extras seriously Greta Gerwig learn a few things about men so Margaret Robbie's Barbie character
has to go to the real world for various reasons I'll try not to give too many spoilers and she
is followed there by her boyfriend Ryan Gosling Ken who by the way she leads on and treats like
absolute crap throughout the movie he loves her more than anything and is due devoted to her while
she keeps him at arm's length prioritizes her friends over him constantly and ultimately reveals
that she doesn't feel the same way about him as he does about her and that's all present just fine by
the film so they go to the real world to discover that apparently it's an impressive patriarchy
where men run everything and women get cat called and slapped on the bum the minute they walked down
the street and are then apparently arrested and blamed for trying to defend themselves oh and
also they get objectified and condescended to by the police instead of helped and supported
because yeah that's a realistic depiction of the will of the real world right see what I mean about
rehashing ancient culture War battles anyway while Barbie is mortified at the real world and feels
very very oppressed and judged and objectified Ken loves the real world not because he's a bad person
who Wants to Rule everything and oppress women but because the real world is the first time in
his life he's been treated with anything even close to respect so he realizes that in actual
fact his life under the matriarchy that is Barbie land is awful and Powerless and that he's being
chronically emotionally and materially abused by the Bobbies and by his girlfriend the Kens don't
even have anywhere to sleep in Barbie land they just appear and disappear at the start and end of
each day so Ken goes back to Barbie land before Barbie does and because Barbie is finishing off
some business in the in the real world then she goes back to Barbie land this time accompanied by
America ferreira's character who is a fully grown adult woman who has become very depressed and has
started playing with Barbie dolls again but in increasingly doomy scenarios plus her Sullen
communistic teenage daughter who has about as much charm as a wet sock however when Barbie gets there
she discovers that Ken has turned Barbie land into a patriarchy where the Ken's have all the
power and the Barbie spend their days waiting on them hand and foot rather than being president
Barbie and Dr Barbie and Nobel prize-winning Barbie and all the other Barbie archetypes that
have come out over the years now here is where Greta going tries to make some sort of point but
it really Falls flat see the part the Barbies are depicted as being really happy under patriarchy
like seriously Margaret Robbie's Barbie goes up to the formerly president Barbie and is like what
are you doing and the president Bobby responds by saying words the effect of oh running things is
really hard I actually prefer serving drinks to the cans so you've now got all these Barbies who
seem happier under Ken's patriarchy than they were in the Barbie matriarchy and yet Margot Robbie's
Barbie Barbie is somehow really upset about that and tries to hypnotize the Barbies out of their
patriarchal Bliss which succeeds in making them all really unhappy am I missing something anyway
after deep patriarchifying the Bobbies they said about retaking Bobby Land by turning the
Kens against each other now the Barbies do this by each flirting with an individual Ken but then
making that Ken Jealous by going and flooding with another individual can this results in the Ken's
hating each other and splitting into two teams that eventually fight each other thus somehow
handing Barbie land back over to the Barbies however again Greta go I get all revealed that
while they evidently hate men they know nothing about them that's not how women manipulate men
that's how men manipulate women Greta Gerwig is literally projecting what women are manipulated
by that is men being flirty with their friends onto men men don't genuinely respond to that by
turning on each other in a vengeful spiteful way I mean if anything it brings them closer together
because they start some friendly competition between themselves to see who can win the
girl then when the girl has picked to the guy she wants they proverbially shake hands and leave it
all alone don't try to make a movie denigrating men if you don't know anything about men in the
first place seriously now at this point in the movie I was thinking Hmm maybe the film
will actually make a good choice here about what kind of message to send its viewers it had the
opportunity to make Barbie land a place where both the Barbies and the cans are equal and share power
peacefully and happily thus leading to an range of teamwork respect and prosperity for all you know
the message that both matriarchy and patriarchy are bad and that men and women working together
with mutual respect is always the best way to go but did the movie do that no no it didn't
of course it didn't instead the Barbies pointedly insist that while the cans may have slightly more
power and representation than they did previously they still won't be anywhere near equal to the
Barbies and will remain largely their servants and subordinates although they may work their
way up the ranks in the future in other words the film triples down on the notion that a matriarchal
dictatorship where men have zero influence is an ideal state for society to be in but patriarchy
is bad can't have patriarchy matriarchy yes but patriarchy no and again while I get the Greta
Gerwig was trying to make some sort of point about women supposedly not having much power
or influence in the real world that also falls flat because at least in the Western World women
have masses more corporate social and political power than the Kens eventually do in Barbie land
it's just this garbage 90s third wave feminist talking point rehashed because the women who
pushed these talking points are so privileged that they have literally nothing real to complain about
all in all the Barbie movie was a colossal disappointment and while understandably lots
of people have said to me okay Daisy what did you expect from a movie about Bobby directed by
Greta Gerwig well I expected at least the script to be well written but the script was terrible
well they look were a couple of funny jokes it had no punch and the scenes were just so long
they just went on and on and on forever the whole movie legit could have been like a full half hour
shorter than it was would I recommend you see it yes like I said Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie
are wonderful and it is very pretty and also you really need to see this flaming heap of
trash for yourselves just so you can experience How Deep The hatred of men runs in the veins of
our cultural Elites it literally has to be seen to be believed if you like that video
