From “Barbieland” to the real world – that’s what “Barbie” is about
For Barbie (Margot Robbie, 33) and all the other Barbies (Issa Rae, Hari Nef, Dua Lipa and more), every day in Barbieland is the best day ever. And when it’s Girls’ Night at Barbie’s pink dream house every night, Ken (Ryan Gosling, 42) and the other Kens (Kingsley Ben-Adir, Simu Liu, John Cena and more) have to see what they’re doing with themselves. In “Barbieland” the matriarchy rules: Barbie is president, Barbie is a federal judge, Barbie is a doctor. And Ken? It’s really just for fun.
But then little imperfections appear in Barbie’s previously perfect toy world. Not only does her morning milk go bad and the breakfast waffle burns in the toaster, the doll suddenly thinks about dying and develops flat feet in the other Barbies, causing them to gag. There is only one way to get the problems under control again: a trip into the real world. In Los Angeles, both Barbie and Ken quickly realize that men are in charge here. Patriarchy still rules the world…
