A very rare thing should happen because ‘Barbie‘ don’t become the movie of the summereven premiering on the same day (this Thursday, July 20) than ‘Oppenheimer’ (2023) by Christopher Nolan. Everything is working in favor of the long-awaited movie about the Mattel doll. On the one hand, the mystery: How will the movie about Barbie be? What tone will it have? Will it be a parody? Can a movie about Barbie be feminist? Who is your audience? On the other hand, the curiosity that always arouses a proposal with many interesting people in charge: of Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird, Donets) as director and screenwriter (with Noah Baumbach) a Margot Robbie in the skin of the doll. And, of course, an irresistible promotional campaign that has painted the networks pink and this hot summer.
THE MOST ANTICIPATED MOVIE
Barbie is definitely one of the two most anticipated movies of this season. The other is Oppenheimer (2023), the new de Christopher Nolan. Since it was announced that both will be released on the same day, next July 20, the networks have been filled with memes crossing both films (the viral posters of “Barbenheimer”) as a metaphor for the difficulty of choose between one or the other on the day of the premiere. Which one will you see first?
PRINCESS SENSE REGNE
As usually happens with the most anticipated films, no details of the plot of ‘Barbie’ have been revealed. But the trailer gives some brushstrokes. Faced with some strange and unexpected symptoms, such as noticing that she no longer walks on tiptoes and her feet are flat, the famous doll (Margot Robbie) has to leave behind the wonderful world of Barbie to travel to the real world. She will not be alone in her adventure: she will be accompanied by Ken (Ryan Gosling).
MARGOT ROBBIE IS BARBIE
Not in her wildest dreams could Barbie have imagined that Margot Robbie, one of the stars of the moment and a magnificent actress, would give her life on the screen. The performer of ‘I, Tonya’ (2017) and ‘Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood’ (2019), Harley Quinn in ‘Suicide Squad’ (2016) and ‘Birds of Prey’ (2020), joined to the project when it passed into the hands of Warner Bros. And it’s not just its protagonist. The actress is also one of the film’s producers.
RYAN GOSLING AND KEN
Although his participation in the film was in jeopardy at some point due to scheduling problems, Ryan Gosling and Ken in the film, Barbie’s friend. Although it is not the first time that the actor has demonstrated his comic talent (‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’, ‘Dos tipus bons’), the expectation to see the protagonist of ‘Drive’ (2011) and ‘La La Land’ (2016) in the skin of the famous and very blond doll is great. Even more seen his fluorine styles in the trailer and promotional images.
GRETA GERWIG: THE FILMMAKER THAT ‘BARBIE’ DESERVED
The choice of Greta Gerwig as the director of the film about Barbie brought the best sensations. Because? Because she is one of the most interesting filmmakers of the moment, very intelligent, connected to the present and, as shown by her previous films ‘Lady Bird’ (2017) and ‘Donets’ (2019), obstinate in creating good female characters. Gerwig, who is also an actress, signs the script of ‘Barbie’ with Noah Baumbach (‘History of a marriage’), another splendid filmmaker.
A FEMINIST MOVIE ABOUT BARBIE?
May be feminist a barbie movie? We will see on the day of the premiere, but everything points to the fact that it is, considering that it has Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie at the controls. From their different spaces (Gerwig is an actress, screenwriter, producer and director; Robbie is an actress and producer), both are carrying out splendid work to defend and claim the space of female filmmakers and create interesting female characters.
