The Movie

Margot Robbie & Ryan Gosling are far from vainglorious as Barbie & Ken in recent movie Barbie. I admit I managed to watch 1/2 of it on video (due to not having hired it myself). They outline a Mattel endorsed lifestyle that is walking a tightrope and is destined to change due to Barbie’s discovering existencey of a real life beyond the materialistic confines of the present known doll’s life. The elements of ’real life’ suggest danger and disarray compared with the predictability of a doll’s life. It provokes discussion of thé clash between dolls’s or their imagined ‘perfect’ lifestyles and reallife and the problems each situation brings mechanistically.
