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.
