[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 9075404, member: 5889"] Probably the one big "swing and a miss" for me on Barbie was: [Spoiler] When the Barbie's took back the government, they gave teh Ken's a "a few little rights" rather than full inclusion. Effectively providing the idea that women would be just like men given positions of power, that nothing really was learned. It was to me the obvious chance to "do things better". Margot's Barbie, realizing how poorly she treated Ken, pushes for the Barbie's to "do better" and really give the Ken's a stake in things, creating the "perfect inclusive world" that Barbie was supposed to represent. Instead it provides the message "to bring someone up, you got to keep someone else down"[/Spoiler] There is also one scene in the movie that didn't work for me but did for my girlfriend. A scene where one character does a monologue talking about all the contradictions women have to go through. I personally found it a rough scene, it came across as very preachy and expository. Ultimately I thought other aspects of the movie did it better by "showing not telling". However, my girlfriend found that scene powerful and she really "felt what she was talking about". So ultimately its a reminder to me that I'm not really the target audience here. [/QUOTE]
