Amid the summer season, the much-awaited movie ‘Barbie’ starring the talented duo of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken left an indelible impression on audiences worldwide. The movie premiered July 21, 2023, in the US and won the hearts of people across all age groups. The ‘Barbie’ movie was a unifying experience that brought different generations together to enjoy a common experience.
The story follows Margot Robbie’s character, who is often referred to as “stereotypical Barbie.” She appears to be living her best life until she is hit with some unpleasant surprises: flat feet, cellulite, and thoughts of death. To address these issues, she is forced to travel to the real world. Ken, portrayed by Ryan Gosling, is the perfect complement to Barbie. He plays a character who has little sense of self-worth unless he is in Barbie’s direct gaze.
The film incorporates many elements of the classic Barbie brand, such as the iconic pink color, the classic Barbie logo, and the inclusion of classic Barbie characters. These elements transport fans back to their childhood and allow them to relive their favorite memories. The movie proved to be a delightful trip down memory lane as many people bought a new Barbie doll or unearthed their old ones after watching the movie. Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Barbie was captivating and received universal acclaim. The movie’s popularity even led to the release of a new Barbie doll that looked exactly like Margot Robbie in the movie, complete with the same dress she wore in the film.
In addition to Robbie and Gosling, other talented actors, such as Simu Lui, Ariana Greenblatt, and Emerald Fennell, starred in the movie. Overall the ‘Barbie’ movie was a huge success, and everybody should go see it at least once in their lifetime.
