Life in plastic, it's fantastic? How Barbie reimagines a childhood icon through a feminist lens

Retrieved on: 
Monday, July 24, 2023

Barbie is a fabulous spectacle, offering nostalgic delights to audiences, reflexive nods for film buffs and turning a feminist lens on the world’s most famous doll.

Key Points: 
  • Barbie is a fabulous spectacle, offering nostalgic delights to audiences, reflexive nods for film buffs and turning a feminist lens on the world’s most famous doll.
  • Most excitingly, Barbie is an intersectional and liberal feminist comedy, sitting alongside mainstream successes Legally Blonde (2001) and Mean Girls (2004).

Liberal feminism

    • In contrast to radical feminism, which throws out existing systems to start afresh, liberal feminism works to effect change within systems.
    • Liberal feminists work towards gender equality through raising awareness and political action.
    • This is an industry where powerful roles are still dominated by men, and women’s and LGBTQI+ voices are often sidelined.

Strong female characters

    • Gerwig’s films have often explored how strong female characters overcome challenges on their journey to adulthood.
    • In Little Women (2019), Gerwig gives her characters greater agency than previous adaptations.
    • Jo negotiates a strong book contract, while also accepting editorial direction to choose a marketable ending of marriage – or death – for her female protagonist.

Facing the real world

    • The diverse Barbies believe they have empowered women everywhere through choice (a goal Barbie creator Ruth Handler espoused).
    • Weird Barbie (Kate McKinnon) advises dark thoughts have opened a portal to her owner and offers a Matrix-style choice between a pretty heel (Barbieland) and a brown Birkenstock (the Real World).
    • In the Real World (Los Angeles), Barbie and Ken experience confronting ideas.
    • Witnessing male dominance in the Real World, Ken introduces patriarchy to Barbieland, creating a bro-topia where Barbies are subservient to Kens.

Doing the imagining

    • Feminist film theory critiques the male gaze, which renders women in film as objects to be gazed upon for the pleasure of male viewers.
    • Robbie’s Barbie works to escape the role of object, both literally and through the cinematography.
    • Supported by Ruth’s ghost, Barbie expresses the desire to be not “just the idea”, but the one “doing the imagining”.
    • Much like Gerwig and Robbie, Barbie opts for the role of active changemaker, working to shift the system from within.

In Greta Gerwig’s Barbie Land, the matriarchy can be just as bad as the patriarchy

Thursday, July 20, 2023

At last – after the hype and advance mass-merchandising – the Barbie movie is here.

Key Points: 
  • At last – after the hype and advance mass-merchandising – the Barbie movie is here.
  • Part spoof, part action fantasy, part Barbie doll virtual museum, it’s a full-blown product placement experience – but ironic as much as iconic.
  • Given Barbie first appeared in 1959 as a baby boomer’s plastic mini-mannequin, dress-up fashion doll, that’s real inter-generational reach.
  • To feminists seeking women’s liberation, Barbie symbolised a culture that objectified women, treating them quite literally as living dolls.

‘I am Kennough’

    • With Ken largely invisible in the film’s merchandising and girls-night-out launches, we’ve been set up for the surprising plot twist.
    • Gosling proceeds to own the screen and make this the Ken Movie.
    • He rejects being “just Ken” and instead acts, dances, prowls and flexes to steal the show.
    • But as the inhabitants of Barbie Land discover in the film, matriarchy can be just as damaging as patriarchy.

Rejects save the day

    • Enter Weird Barbie (Kate McKinnon) and Alan (Michael Cera), outcasts and rejects of Barbie Land, who want “nobody in the shadows”.
    • These are the real heroes who save the day, deprogramming the brainwashed Barbies.
    • It is one more layer of irony in a film about a doll once accused of brainwashing girls.
    • Replete with genitalia, she liberates herself from her plastic-fantastic dream world – without Ken – to live in the unruly real world.
