Somebody should make a movie around this message of jaded adults refinding their humanity in an absurd, hyperconsumerist world through the rejection of cynicism and embracing of liking things again, but cleverly disguise it as a movie made to sell plastic dolls to little girls to play on the concept of hyperconsumerism.
I think this hypothetical movie will be a smashing success in the box office. And probably win the lead actress an Oscar this year.
Totally irrelevant to your comment, keep up the strike and hold the line! Assuming you're the real Margot Robbie and have a prolific platform. I know it's not fair, especially to the less recognizable members but a lot of other people who are thinking about unionizing are watching the WGA and SAG strikes to see if labour can still win. It's not just you guys, we're all with you. Even if they're too stupid to realize this strike is more important than a new season of NCIS. Labour winning this strike proves that labour isn't out of the fight and capital hasn't completely won. Stay strong! Hold the line!
Thank you.
I'd like to think even as a jaded adult this isn't just an impersonation.
And I assume the Ken dance off scene is an allegory to the obliteration of the ego resulting in self reflection?
Ok if you had the opportunity to make Ryan Gosling do a dumb song and dance number you would have done the same thing.
It's funny for actors to play against type because it's unexpected. Like Leslie Nielsen in "Airplane!", for example.
I absolutely agree, I think you ahem that lead actress should win an Oscar.
But I think it's important that we don't let enjoying things become synonymous with liking (mindless purchasing) the corporate products that are being sold to us at a breakneck pace.
What ways do we have to still create our own ways to have fun? How can we make our own "weird barbies"?
The difference is that you should enjoy things not because nothing matters in this world (that would be hedonism.), but because the world matters to you, and you will fight to make it better.
There comes a point in everybody's life where they are faced with their own mortality and finally figure out what they are meant to do. None of us will be here forever, so, I think we should use our short time on this Earth to fight for a world where everyone is free to find their way in life, and be themselves again.
Kinda vague, but everyone is different, so, everyone will have to figure it out on their own.
I really like your first sentence. Great take, thanks for sharing.
