Lilja K Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Francis Ford Coppola Salutes ‘Barbenheimer’ Success: One-Offs Are a ‘Victory for Cinema’ “I have yet to see them, but the fact that people are filling big theaters to see them and that they are neither ‘sequels’ nor ‘prequels’… no number attached to them meaning they are true one-off’s is victory for Cinema,” he answered.

And knowing Mattel now wants to grow and become like Marvel by making more movies about their toys and games, yeah, it can definitely become a cultural phenomenon. It's definitely a cultural phenomenon. It's the symbol of the hatred and spite that have taken over a big chunk of our society. The producers/actors say they don't care about our opinions? Fine, it's their choice to be controlled by their resentment. I care about their opinion, but I can't respect a movie made out of hate.

She says she doesn't care about other people's opinion (which is already the proof she's an intolerant person), but she's inconsistent, since she brags and belittles other people. She is lead by her anger and spite. Like this movie. This is a terrible message. We used to be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico_sw Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Oh and the pink color is fine. Margot's esthetics is good in this movie. Her character looks pretty on the outside, but not on the inside. Hate, spite and resentment uglify people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico_sw Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 This is an actress that wears pink and is beautiful both on the inside and outside. She's kind, compassionate and courteous. These are forgotten qualities in 2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jade Bahr Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 The last thing I felt (before, during or after) BARBIE was hate. I had actually lots of fun while watching it and recognized myself in many things particular as a woman, yes. But Barbie isn't flawless she's actually miles away from being perfect (in both worlds, real and Barbieland) but that's the whole point of the movie. No one is perfect and even more important no one has to be. For me the movie is about solidarity, understanding, commitment for others and yourself, acceptance for others and yourself, equal rights - not only womens but mens too (or Kens lol) and learning not only from mistakes but each other to make it different/better in the future.

Yeah, cause Spider-man is a character. By definition it can't be a phenomenon just like Barbie. But a new Spider-man movie, game etc could be Interesting plan but not sure about other IPs they have, I think anything could be a great material if enough work is in it but none of the rest has as big potential as Barbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totals: ‘Barbie’ $93 Million “Barbie” made $93 million this weekend, A mere 43% drop from the previous weekend, bringing its total to $351 million in just two weeks.

Cult Icon Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I recall that 'Clueless' made a big splash for years. Didn't see Barbie and don't know if its that memorable or can be compared to something like Star Wars, Nolan's Batman, & Lord of the Rings. Maybe closer to 'Mean girls', if its meme-able. The thing is however that the toy industry is in great decline for years. Children don't play with physical toys very much anymore. Toys R Us across the US closed. Overall hollywood is a Gen X and earlier thing. It is also in relative decline both commercially & culturally and far surpassed by the gaming industry currently and in potential growth. In general social media has severely cut into the impact of hollywood. People used to worship stars & films a lot in the 2000s and earlier.

You don’t like the Barbie movie? Ok, to each their own. But if you don’t understand the meaning of the movie, don’t make up one and since you don’t personally know Margot, you have no rights to speak like that of her. You can say you don’t like her as an actress or physically speaking, but what you’re spreading is pure pointless non-sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
