Barbie, one of the most eagerly awaited films of 2023, sparked an unprecedented level of anticipation among fans and non-fans alike since the release of teasers and news about the movie. Despite the perceptions of the film being ‘too pink’ and seemingly childish due to its subject matter, what lies beneath is a profound and captivating life reflection.
The Book Behind Some of the Movie Inspiration
The movie’s story is partially based on the best-selling book Reviving Ophelia of 1994. In an interview for Vogue, Greta confessed that she read the book when she was a kid. The book is about the challenges faced by girls during adolescence and the impact of societal pressures on their lives.
My mom would check out books from the library about parenting, and then I would read them… They’re funny and brash and confident, and then they just—stop. How is this journey the same thing that a teenage girl feels? All of a sudden, she thinks, «Oh, I’m not good enough”—Greta Gerwing.
Interview With LOS40
Gaby Cam from LOS40 and DePelícula interviewed the movie protagonists Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and America Ferrera, during which they offered a profound reflection not only on the movie itself but also on life. The movie delved into what it means to be a woman, a man, and ultimately, what it means to be a human being.
The movie particularly emphasizes the challenges women face daily and how difficult it can be when they are pressured to be perfect. However, it reminds us that nothing can truly be perfect because perfection lacks authenticity. As humans, we are not made of plastic; our imperfections make us genuine and real.
