Barbie's first live action movie revives the name of the toy franchise created by Mattel that after many years seemed to be forgotten along with other titles like Max Steel. This film manages to revive this franchise by presenting us with a magical world made up of many of the versions of Barbie and Ken that have been made throughout history. Barbieland recreates many of the elements and characteristics of the toys that marked the childhood of many girls. The movie is quite colorful, cartoony and wacky, with a rather childish goofiness and cartoonish humor that can if it can make some people cringe. She has all the femininity that has always characterized the Barbie franchise and becomes feminine enough to respect the vision of the franchise, while adapting to current times. Margot Robbie is very charismatic in her role as Barbie and Ryan Gosling manages to play a very nice Ken.

As Barbie and Ken begin their great adventure into the real world, the film begins to gradually turn deep and philosophical, raising existential and social questions. In Barbieland everything is happiness and a dream land, but the real world is the opposite, this being a symbolism about discovering that reality is not as one imagines or dreams. Topics such as paradigm shifts, gender roles and human identity beyond being a man or a woman are also touched on. Barbie comes to question a lot about what her purpose is and Ken feels so isolated that he tries to be much more in a world where Barbies have had everything in their hands. The fundamental message that this film ends up being the human identity that exists beyond being a man or a woman, whose purpose is only defined by what society or social groups dictate. Barbie is clearly a movie that can generate different interpretations, that some will see it in a positive or negative way, but that makes it very clear the true and only message that this movie has and it is like the ideologies or positions implemented by society or groups Social networks have created a division about what to be or what to be, ignoring human identity. It not only questions right-wing ideas, but also left-wing ideas at the same time in the form of satire. In conclusion, Barbie is not only a film that gloriously revives the franchise and awakens some nostalgia in those who played with the toys or grew up with the animated films, it is a philosophical work on how society itself implants ideas or illusions that They make us forget our identity as human beings and who we really are, questioning our very existence. My final rating for this movie is 9/10.
