This is the most I've ever had that feeling like I watched a different movie than everyone else. It's not just that I thought it was a mediocre movie that people overrate. I actually think it's a bad very poorly made movie. The fact that anyone thinks it deserves any sort of Oscar recognition outside of categories nobody cares about like costume or make up is
It was a bit of a mess overall, but I couldn't stop laughing once they got to Ken's version of Barbieland. It was perfect, every Ken joke landed with me. The grills, the cars, the horse decorations EVERYWHERE. Gosling carried it so hard with physical comedy and actually putting some real emotion into the role in the couple spots that required it. After seeing the dance battle I couldn't tell anyone that I didn't like the movie. Plenty of the jokes were meant to pander to women in a way I found uninteresting, but I expected that considering its Barbie.

We went to a musical called "Oh Africa, Brave Africa". It was a laugh riot.

I really enjoyed the Ken parts. He legit deserves an award for saving the movie. Probably because Noah Baumbach co-wrote it, he probably did the male parts and hes a good writer/director.
Barbie is a 2023 American fantasy comedy film directed by Greta Gerwig from a screenplay she wrote with Noah Baumbach.
It's the complete opposite son. Foids are depicted as vapid looksmaxxers in that movie that don't learn shit from Ken's story and don't change a thing about their relationship to men in the end. Complete anti feminism

That's the problem though. That was supposed to be empowering. The conclusion is Barbieland is better when the women are in control. Greta thought the story made women look good. It was feminist, but the completely r-slurred "kill all men" kind.
The messaging is a little mixed, but it wasn't an accident on Greta's part that Ken was so sympathetic and likeable. A huge part of the movie is Ken's struggle for respect and appreciation. They did the wink and nod "lets not give them full rights yet" joke that appealed to the kill men feminists, but the real conclusion was Barbie realizing how she mistreated the Kens and apologizing to a crying Ken.
Barbie was a rorschach test and people who hate men will see him as a villain but most level headed people will see Ken as a sympathetic character.

But that's not the only moment like that. For example when Barbie is showing the mother and daughter around Barbieland one of them asks "Do the Kens have their own houses too?" and Barbie replies with "You know, I never thought about it" or something like that. There is zero self-reflection in that joke. This is right when she returns from the real world and experienced gender inequality and would be the perfect time to trigger some introspection within Barbie, but it's just a throw away joke.
On top of that the whole climax where all the Barbies are actually enjoying themselves in the new version of Barbieland under Ken, but they are wrong to do so for no particular reason and Barbie has to "unbrainwash" them. This is no different then feminists who get things like ring girls banned from sporting events even though the ring girls actually enjoy doing it and it's a source of income for them. It's more dumb feminist stuff where women can't enjoy different things and it's "internalized misogyny" if they do and they have to be corrected. And this is all done with zero self-awareness. This is why I think Ken being a sympathetic character was just a failure on Greta's part to make him unlikeable. The movie just lacks too much in self-awarness. I think she truly believed Ken was just an unlikeable douchebag.
The director literally said that the latinx teenager's rant about capitalism is the correct analysis of Barbie and that it was put in the movie for that reason.

You falling for r-slurred gender wars doesn't automatically make the worst stereotypical characteristics of each side their defining feature.
