Barbie movie breakdown is here!
Barbie movie breakdown is here! So on top of all the easter eggs, references, and little things you may have missed, we also want to explain how the film's final scenes bring this hyper-femme coming-of-age story full circle, showing us not only where the capitalistic approach to feminism fails but also how true beauty comes from our own imperfections.

#Barbie #Breakdown #EasterEggs
Barbie is a lot more than just a chew toy, Doug, and if this movie proves anything, she's a lot more than just a human toy! She’s a pop culture icon, and has been an influence to children across the globe for over 60 years!
The film is filled with deep Barbie cuts, and equally deep commentary on the transition from girlhood to womanhood. [clip]The final scenes are not only emblematic of the film's lighthearted and comedic approach to complex topics but its also perfectly encapsulate Barbie's metaphorical journey into womanhood.
Doug: in that case, shouldn't we have a woman talking about this?
Well, Doug, as the only employee in this shop, I may not be the Barbie you need, but I am the Ken you deserve…
Doug: Valid point… carry on
Now if you saw any of the film's trailers before seeing it in theaters, then Barbie is precisely what it says on the box - pun intended.
On paper, Barbie's ending is pretty cut and dry. The final scene of the film has Barbie introducing herself as Barbra Handler, seeking an appointment with a gynecologist.
This is a calls back to one of the first scenes in the real world, where Barbie and ken specifically distinguish themselves as different from “real people” because “they don't have genitals”
She has a brand new identity of her own, “Barbra Handler,” - which combines the last name of her creator, Ruth Handler, and the first name of her daughter - the same daughter who was the original inspiration for Barbie.
“Becoming a woman” - biologically speaking - is more than just a clever joke about the immediate need for women’s healthcare and bodily autonomy. It represents the culmination of Barbie's journey film's core message. While it speaks explicitly to the female experience it has a profound message that can resonate with anyone who sees themselves as less than perfect.
Doug: Even Doggos?
Of course, Doug. I mean its Greta Gerwig
Doug: The climate activist who sailed across the world and took down Andrew tate?
Different Greta Doug. Gerwing is known for her - anti-corporate coming-of-age stories, and Barbie is certainly no exception. However, there are also some distinctive sci-fi elements and themes that really distinguish it from her other films.
I mean, Barbie Land is essentially an alternate dimension. The settings and characters are incredibly detailed and visually engaging, but they also create a very Twilight Zone esc Uncanny valley feel, where not everything is as it seems.
Gerwig certainly pays hommage to these elements right out of the Gate, - with the first scene parodying 2001 A Space Odyssey, but with girls instead of monkeys and giant Magot Robbie replacing the ominous monolith.
The swimsuit chosen is not only the one from very first Barbie but also the same one that was she wore the cover of a very controversial ad of Sports Illustrated, with a caption that read, “ I belong here”. It's a perfect fit for not only the beginning of the movie but Barbie's story as well.
There is also a reference to the matrix when Kate Mikennon’s Barbie offers the choice between knowing the truth (Birkenstocks) or returning to her old life (heels), just like the ever-so-classic red pill vs. blue pill.
