Women created the patriarchy. And still are even post-Barbie without even realizing it. THIS is what REAL critical thinking is: women only seek the best of the best men to mate with. As a result men overachieve to be qualified by women and ended up dominating most areas of life just to get women's approval. As women have gained more power, their hypergamous need hasn't gone away, but they want to dismantle this "patriarchy," the VERY thing creating the men they want and that they benefit from. Women want men who are on their level or better, men only really try in life deep down in the hopes they can attract a woman... If ANY achievement you have in life is due to this "patriarchy" (which is characterized as sexist/oppressive), then the logical thing to do as a "lover" or "ally" of women would be to sit back and let women have their time to shine, correct? But oh wait, women STILL want men on their level or higher... Sooooo... Women have not only painted men into a corner, but themselves. Now they wonder why men are staying home playing video games and quitting on life. You've given us no other options and the safest/most peaceful is to escape from this insane contradictory misandry. Feminism today has given men and women a no win scenario other than to I guess guilt trip successful men to be simps for them... But they've successfully disincentivized and demoralized every new generation of men from trying... Sooo....
Where are all the good men? Now ignoring women in one fashion or another because there's literally no point anymore in trying. They're never satisfied, they still think they're oppressed and it's men's or this (actually very gynocentric) western "patriarchy's" fault. So the top men are fxcking around, never having to settle because all women want them because they're so rare and you have bottom men not even trying, staying home with parents playing video games to escape reality.
Congrats, women. You won and now we see why successful civilizations slowly collapse over time. You confuse, demoralize, shame and disincentivize men (who have an out-group bias FOR women and argue IN FAVOR of their rights because they're in such a successful/free society and raised with it's values) from keeping society afloat because they realize it's all sacrifice with no appreciation or reward. In fact, just condemnation and expected self-flagellation. And for what? Building/maintaining/protecting a society FOR women and children to thrive in? You see the paradox now?
You guys completely missed that the opening of the movie is a copy of the opening of the movie '2001: A Space Odyssey'. You need to watch that, and then come back to this movie. The opening of Barbie was friggin' hilarious, but it passed you guys right by... Sad.
You understand that Ryan Gosling gets an Oscar nomination, but Margo Robbie (Barbie) or the female Director Greta Gerwig did NOT get any Oscar nominations but Barbie is nominated for Best Picture. But not the Director or the Star?
The thing is, Ken is not the villain here. Patriarchy is. Ken is just another victim, he's made to think he's just an accessory and his whole life should revolve around a girl. I've met A LOT of guys like that! And they never notice it's harmful for them too.
@@tayzk5929 You're just stup1d. It's ok though
@@tayzk5929patriarchy is a word that represents the system of performative gender expectations and roles, expectations that are unattainable thus harmful to everyone involved.
@@tayzk5929damn you're real butt hurt about this film. Replying to every comment like it's your job.
You are literally in every comment saying anything even remotely nice about this movie. Get therapy. @@tayzk5929
"When I found out patriarchy wasn't about horses, I lost interest anyway"
When the mother gave the speech about what is expected of a woman the whole theater got quiet and I remember I had to fight back tears. That really got to me.
❤️
I couldn't help myself in that moment in the theater and I started clapping - the next thing I knew a ton of people were.
@@kathryngordon5115 She delivered it so well. The applause was well deserved.
I took my mom to see it for my birthday. I’d already cried so I just held her hand.
@@kathryngordon5115same 😭 was tearing up
In case it hasn't been pointed out already, that 'home footage' of the mothers and daughters at the end is submitted by/featuring the women who worked on the movie. That's a really cool idea.
OMGG really that just made me tear up. Watching the movie in theatres I just thought it was clips of woman and certain experiences but that just made a lot more sense.
That’s totally beautiful, thx for this fantastic factoid @theaikidoka! (Leave it to Greta to leave no directorial stone unturned.)💗🎬📼
And when Billie Eilish performed for SNL, that did this again with the women cast of snl and their childhood home videos 😭
I LOVE IT WHEN NIKKI CRIES, because then I cry, and then we’re all crying, and it feels like a group hug!!! 🥲❤
She wears her heart on her sleeve and her care for kids and animals is magical when it comes through their reactions. Even better is the scary movies where she yells obscenities and claws chunks of arm meat out of poor Steven. lol
same😿
I cried when she cried too 😭 I'm also the mother of a daughter so I feel this movie on that level as well!
yes! all of this! I knew that last part would break her and I was looking forward to it, weirdly enough lol 😅
💯
My favorite scene was Barbie’s reaction to seeing her first old woman . She doesn’t associate age with anything negative . She just saw the beauty of the woman .
oh wow i never thought about that scene in that way. you're so right it was the first time she saw someone who has aged! makes the sentiment even better!
@@edo27right?
I also think that she has no experience with ugliness. Even when she thinks she’s “not pretty” later on, she never says ugly, she just feels like she’s lost smth- which turns out to be her own sense of self.
I think that’s important bc when she looks at ppl, she expects beauty, endless variations of beauty. And so it’s particularly special when she looks at the elderly woman and sees simply a different kind of beauty, not anything lacking. It’s not like seeing a woman and comparing her to who she used to be. It’s seeing her exactly as she is right now, and the goodness of that. It’s like, this is “senior barbie” and she is beautiful.
According to the trivia section on IMDb, "Greta Gerwig refused to cut a scene with the older lady by holding her ground against studio executives saying "I love that scene so much, and the older woman on the bench is the costume designer Ann Roth. She's a legend. It's a cul-de-sac of a moment, in a way - it doesn't lead anywhere. And in early cuts, looking at the movie, it was suggested, 'Well, you could cut it. And actually, the story would move on just the same.' And I said, 'If I cut the scene, I don't know what this movie is about." "
I literally tear up at that scene every single time i see it. It's a gut punch in the best way 🥺🥰
As a father of 4 daughters, I fully support every laugh and tear in this reaction. I have also seen this about 20 times, and regardless of the social commentary it hits home on the relationship of a daughter to a parent.
Your daughters are very lucky to have a strong father, not afraid to say he likes the movie made “ for girls” and not afraid to show emotion
20 times. 5 times with each daughter.
The social commentary is integral to the film, dude. Sit with it for a while. Try to take in just a little.
@@andrewcrowder4958 i understand all of that but was meaning that portion of it aside as it was not what we focused on while watching it. My girls are too young to appreciate it or fully understand it, so was not the takeaway emotion or lesson. What Nikki cried at was when they were showing the emotions and feelings of the daughters and mothers reacting to moments together, and her own personally with their kid growing up too fast and not needing her anymore.
As part of the film, I thought it was great, especially when tongue in cheek and with small jabs comically to show the reality of a lot of it through the eyes of the world where it seems ridiculous and to the real world equivalent where it was done in the same way. That's a whole new conversation and another 20 viewings with them when that time comes.
@@ssotkow that's pretty accurate lol.
I cried when watching this movie... I am a dad with a daughter...she's three years old now and already growing up so fast. And I always felt like she was born yesterday
Cherish every second, they grow up fast. I feel like I blinked and we had a middle schooler.
Your daughter is very lucky strong father who’s not afraid to show emotion and they like a movie “ for girls”
I have 4 daughters from 10-19, and i will tell ya brother, it doesn't get any better! make the time to snag every moment.
@@tayzk5929the f
I don’t have my own kids, but I have three nieces and one nephew. My oldest niece is just 17 and I still can’t believe yesterday she was a beautiful baby girl and now she is almost a grown up. I Maybe am her uncle, but I love her like she was my own, including her sister
“as a mother we stand still so our daughter can look back and see how far they’ve gotten” HITS as a parent. i knew you guys would love this movie & Nikki’s reaction was me watching the end 😂
I don’t understand why people hated this movie. It’s just so much fun
A lot of people thought it's a feminist movie, but that's not the case at all. As a man, I really enjoyed this film.
@nyuszicsib Men can be feminists and enjoy feminist movies too lol... There's nothing wrong with that. Feminism means equal rights for all.
Lots of people hate women and simultaneously get mad they won’t date them. They’re called incels and they should be called out at every oppor
@@nyuszicsibit definitely is a feminist movie, the problem is the people that think that a movie having a feminist message is a bad thing.
They're just bitter, miserable weirdos lol
im not even a mom, but nikki crying made ME cry and miss my mom.
same, but then again Nikki crying always makes me cry
the way society is going you're probably not going to be a mom, more and more women are ending up childless. Recent data predicts that 45% of women aged between 25-44 will be single and childless by 2030. fertility rates are dropping.
I love how Steve always makes fun of Nikki, but when it comes to mum stuff, he's a whole sweetheart ❤️
The interesting thing is that there were no bad guys in this movie. There was no villain. Ken wasn’t a bad person. Will Farrell’s character wasn’t bad. Part of the point is that there are a lot of good men out there but they can be victims of this system too. They’re told that their worth is defined by their job or their girlfriend or their body type. And even men who are “enlightened” can fall into these traps just like even smart strong capable women can.
@@tayzk5929 Dude, just say the girl movie hurt your tiny male feelings. It's ok! There's really no reason to spam it all down the thread
So agree, I don’t think anyone was actually a bad guy or person in this! That wasn’t the message. I feel like it’s a love letter to people in general.
You nailed it.
The use of the song "Push" was a perfect representation of that. "Push" is about someone who was in a toxic relationship, and as a result ended up becoming toxic themselves in their next relationship. It fits Ken so perfectly: he spent his whole life in a society where he (and all [MK]en) are treated as inferior, unimportant accessories to women/Barbies -- the way women are treated in the real world, although somehow to an even more exaggerated extent. So when he finally gets a chance to feel respected, he latches onto that, but does so using the only social framework he knows: treating people as worthless.
That's something I think some people don't get about the movie: it's about promoting equality, not villainizing Ken or putting men down as a whole.
@@IceMetalPunkthat was beautifully said. I couldn’t agree more!
Barbie really surprised this year with some very heavy and powerful messages.
While it's definitely not a children's movie. It's definitely a great "Coming of Age" film.
i agree. i expected it be way more childish and geared towards a younger audience which i was okay with and prepared for. did not at all expect this going in to the theatre’s and i enjoyed every second of it
Powerful messages that this movie added nothing to & instead thew it in our faces & hit us over the head with the message instead of caring to do it in a more subtle way. Yet these issues that they push in our faces … they end without giving any solutions. Instead their ideal solution was “take the power away from every single man & give it to all the women & maybe someday they will be contempt with never reaching the top just because the movie says so”. One of if not the worst movie of the year
It definitely is a children’s movie the way they spoon-feed the message throughout the film pretending like we the audience couldn’t get it ourselves unless the constantly told us it throughout the movie a hundred times. Which is the type of movie only 3 y/o children can enjoy. The jokes were also for the most part just childish. So I can’t see how you could think this is a movie just for adults
@@packedentertainment2866it’s. not a movie suited for children even though Barbie dolls are for children but they can still enjoy
@@packedentertainment2866 I see we found the incel
I love how both of their reactions were completely opposite, you can clearly see the movie talking to her and him being like an Alien watching it. Even her reaction of disgust to Ken discovering the Patriarchy and him laughing at this part was actually hilarious. I loved watching this React, was the best because it was really a reaction and you can see how still they watched two completely different movies, and the cherry on top is her reaction to Gloria speech and him finally becoming serious and dry swallowing because it is tough to be put in our position. This is why this movie is a master piece.
I watched with my partner too, and even though he is the most feminist he can be, he got out of the movie theater quiet and asked “do you feel like that?” Immediately I thought, it worthed every penny, with one movie he got the knowledge I have been trying to show him for years. BTW he listens to “I’m just Ken” everyday to the point I don’t like this song anymore… there is a Christmas version, he showed me… and after the movie, he is more comprehensive if I just make comparison to any scene from the movie.
I was surprised at how much I loved this movie! It would have been so easy for Mattel to just make a no-effort 90 minute doll commercial, but instead they hired the right people to make this movie, who actually cared about making a smart, entertaining film with something important to say for both men and women. Also, Ryan Gosling as Ken may be one of the best comedic performances I’ve ever seen.
There is a difference between men who are nice to women when it benefits them and in front of others and men who are just nice to everyone no matter what, and that is the scary thing about being a woman. It only takes once. Anyways, great review..love you guys 🩷🩷
why don't you just use that womens intuition, if only those victims of Ted Bundy had used theirs, they wouldn't have become his victims.
The Billie Eilish song/ montage makes every woman emotional and I find that to be a powerful thing. I have some issues with the movie overall but I can respect the fact that it resonates with so many people.
I felt like I was on the verge of tears during that montage when I saw it in theaters because my god, that was so emotional. It made me think of my mom and all the things she'd gone through raising me and my siblings. 😢
It just made me think of the beauty of life even with all its struggles and I broke down
@@emmetstone1660womanhood is beautiful
I remember watching an interview when a guy interviewing Greta Gerwig told her that her friend who passed away got into the montage and that made it even more real for me. I cried again T.T
Its actually my least favourite part of the movie
Ken was made as just another accessory for Barbie.
If the Millenials knew the back story before they saw the film they would understand Barbie is not a man hating movie.
yeah i agree. while watching this i never felt like i was trying to be made to hate men just a play on what goes on in the real world anyways. all of the things they did are actively happening irl so i’m not sure what the confusion is about for them
This movie was made by a millennial. I don’t know any millennial who didn’t understand that Ken was an accessory.
@@agatkaaacocoyeah
@@agatkaaacoco Ben Shapiro?
This isn’t a “Millennial” thing. I am a Millennial and played with Barbie and understood it just fine
This film was amazing. Truly original. It was about a doll, and yet it was just about the most human movie I've ever seen. It's a masterpiece.
As soon as I saw that you'd posted this, I knew the line "We mothers stand still so that our daughters can look back and see how far they've come" was going to fuck Nikki up 😭
Steven looks so confused throughout whilst Nikki is having a nostalgic time full of laughs 🤣😂🤣
"My names Ken and I'm enough. And I'm great at doin' stuff"
Those flashbacks were kicking Nikki’s ass. She teared up everytime 😂
I knew this movie would get Nikki because she’s so empathetic and she’s such a strong mother, love this reaction. You two rock!! ❤️
As a 23 yo daughter, I'll always need my mom. Maybe not the same way I used to when I was 12, but just knowing my mom is there to support me gives me so much strenght
nikki made me sad 😭 i will tell you i’m 22 and my mom is back to being my best friend and you seem like an amazing mother ❤ they’ll always be your and stevens girls
As a daughter, I just want to say that your daughter will come back to you! It's important for adolescents' development that they have their time to figure out who they are apart from their parents but when the parents are as caring and loving as you guys are, they always come back!
Who would have believed that "Barbie" could deliver on such a deep, meaningful level. Nikki cried because the movie touched on the beauty of what it means to be a mom and a daughter. Thank you for reacting to this movie.
As a mom of 4 teen girls (and 1 boy), that line "mother's stand still so their daughters can see how far they've come" always makes me cry.
8:48 “hurry up the presidents here”.. “I am you’re welcome” 😂😂😂😂😂
I SO feel you Nikki, dad here with a boy and a girl, and just like you, our daughter is 11 years old and is going through the same thing.... It's heartbreaking even when it's just a part of life and growing up and just UUGHH. Definitely shed my fair share of tears and seeing you cry about it, made me shed mine again too... Such a powerful movie.
He looked so smug as his wife breaks into tears. It's funny, because HIS eyes were watering too.
Nice reactions... To this 69 year old, best movie of the year.
So glad a man is interested in a movie like Barbie. Speaks volume on that man. Open minded and a great guy all around
Great reaction! I don’t blame you for crying. I was in the exact same state in the theatre when I watched it. The mother’s monologue gutted me but the sentence “we mother stand still so our daughter can look back and see how far they’ve come “ just broke me!
Do a shot whenever Steve gives a confused shake of the head, haha 😵
The older woman on the bench is costume designer Ann Roth. She didn’t do the costumes for this movie but director Greta Gerwig fought the studio to keep her scene in the movie.
'Did you think the Barbie movie was gonna make you cry?' is pretty much what happened to me. I went to see it with my mom and we did NOT expect these gut punches. We're both grown-ass adult women, I'm 36 years old, she's 63, we went because of the nostalgia of playing with Barbie when I was a kid, and because it seemed like a fun thing to watch. We got out of the theatre with tears on our faces and just hugged for a real long time, called grandma from the way home and scheduled to come over for coffee the next day. Like, even if you ignore all the feminist messages of this movie, it's still just a very lovely piece of media about the meaningful relationships between women - friendship and familial alike.
As to the kids watching the movie, my 10 yr old son watched it with me. He liked it, and America’s woman speech, Ken’s patriarchy rant, and mom and daughters little talk, he understood most of it and he took something away from it. And he laughed mostly at Will Ferrel because a lot of jokes were over his head lol I think it’s important to teach lessons early, even little boys. He’s definitely still a kid, not growing up/maturing beyond his years yet and I think it’s amazing he listens to me enough to understand some of this movie
Idk how anyone could not “understand” this movie when the message is clear & in your face the whole time while it spoon-feeds the audience these messages as if we wouldn’t understand it by ourselves so they needed to throw it in our faces
@@packedentertainment2866 lol no one threw in your face, it was just to the point. Also, apparently a lot of people missed the point and message, whether intentional or not.
My grandma always said: *little kids - little problems, big kids - big problems.*
I think Steven misunderstood the message of this film. This wasn’t about hating men - it’s about how patriarchy is bad for EVERYONE. How patriarchy mad the Kens just as unhappy as the women. This was never meant to be a kid’s movie. It is a film aimed at women who grew up with Barbie.
Edit: also I want to add that you cannot tell an HONEST story about women’s lived experiences without talking about patriarchy. Because it is something every woman deals with. Telling that story through the lens of Barbie - a doll who most girl’s played with and who for a LOT of women represent both good and bad things makes it a more a digestible story. This was never just about the doll itself
so is matriarchy
@@queenxx1690 well Matriarchy isn’t a real thing. Patriarchy is.
Yeah I agree, they could dive deeper into this movie and maybe watch an analysis video or something, because if you come out of this movie feeling attacked and insulted, but don't feel like you are a "bad dude", then you probably missed the point. Which is fine, I can understand why some men miss the point. I just hope they could get past their defensiveness and look a little further. Natalie Gold had a pretty good post reaction talk, so did Professor No Name.
Honestly I kinda wanna hear Nikki sit down and talk about her though on the movie alone, she probably had a lot to say about the mom/daughter aspect of the movie, and other things too.
@AmeerahMuhammad Hum it is a real thing, since many civilization in the past was a matriarchy, maybe you should look into it.
Well, you are both right. Its not all men, but it is a lot of men and most of all, it is every women. I dont know a single woman who wasnt sexual assaultet in any way. I dont know any woman who feels safe walking alone outside in the streets. And if you point that out to men, most of them think we a crazy and over reacting. Because of that, this movie is rly, rly important.
Nikki and Steven, art is meant to illuminate and reinforce our human experience. This movie’s mission was so clearly successful. The conversation about your own experience is proof that this film was successful and connected to a need in audiences. Thank you for sharing.
It's amazing how that speech at the end applies for us men too. It's exactly how we feel. Lead, but be a team player, be fit but can't say you want to be fit, have muscles but not enough that it intimidates women or threatens other men because you're supposed to be part of a brotherhood. Have money. Can't fall, can't fail. And answer for the errors made for other men and it'll always all be our fault. It made me understand women more, because it showed me that they feel exactly how we feel. The movie was great on showing how our system created by the patriarchy is harmful to us all, men & women. I've watched it like 4 times now, took all of my nieces to it lol
@@tayzk5929 A man can only feel attacked by this movie when he sees masculinity and toxic masculinity as the same. The system IS patriarchy. If you think it is not, it's because you see "normal" as "male". That's the only possibility. Because if you see this overwhelmingly biased system as unbiased, it's because things revolve around yourself to yourself.
It'd be like a lion sitting with a group of deer saying the system isn't rigged in his favor. If he can't see it it's because he feels the system where he's the only one not in danger is so normal and correct that he can't recognize it.
In order to break away from that you'll have to truly live in the shoes of another, and the first step is acquiring the skill of "understanding without agreeing". Work on a topic that's not as close to you, like what do people think about ____. Then work on understanding the other side, without needing to agree with them. Truly understand them, read about it, pretend you're them agreeing as them. Without you needing to agree.
Pick a topic like white privilege, black lives matter, homophobia, social rights, refugees. Once you learn to understand others even if you don't agree with them, then you'll be in the right step towards being more sympathetic.
You "got" the movie, totally.
Ryan Gosling stole every scene he in.
I live in a super conservative state so I was shocked when the theatre I was in cheered after the speech about how hard it is to be a woman. I teared up lol
That’s hopeful lol
Thank goodness men don't have it heart am I right?
Not everything has to be about you @@ThatShyGuyMatt
Ah, so your saying men are not important? @@spencedbuddy6343
go cry somewhere else@@ThatShyGuyMatt
This movie was actually a lot more sad then I thought it would be lol. Also side note love your videos on The Fall of the House of Usher cant wait for the last 2 reaction videos to come out
As parents of young girls the movie certainly hit a lot harder than expected
Bro did not want to accept this movie for what it was lol. Every single joke or silly part he just shook his head like he was in disbelief of what he just heard or saw. Just enjoy the film for being the stupid good time that it is.
I was laughing harder than most anything else we’ve posted here most of the movie, what do you mean? I generally don’t care for anything that’s meant to be fun to get too serious, that’s why I watch movies. I don’t need or expect a movie about Barbie to remind me the reality of the world I’m raising daughters in.
@@NikkiStevenReact full disclosure I meant no disrespect with my comment but looking back I can see how it may have come off sort of with a rude undertone so that’s my fault and I want to apologize for that. I’ve watched numerous of your reactions over the years and always enjoy them. I just couldn’t tell you if enjoyed this movie or not 😂
Didn’t view it as rude just wanted to share what I thought. Appreciate you being around and watching us.
What I love about this movie is that even if is indeed about women of course, it talk about the way men are viewed by society too. The speech Barbie do at the end to Ken is important, because just like us too many little boys grow up being told "you're a boy, you can't do this and that". We're all the same, we all need to find ourselves and know how to fit in this world without going crazy. And the fact that they put them at the same level at the end with Barbie's speech it is for real a deep and important thing. It helps both women and men to understand that at the end of the day we all need to only find our place in the world as we want, feel free to do that by our own, not as just men or women but as humans.
We feel like men can already do that, but having men in my family and watching them struggle the same it always made me wonder since I was little how much everyone of us is crushed by society.
I loved it, as a woman with an amazing mother and father who always told me to be myself in my life, and taught me to make choices for me without listening to people who can put me down or judge me, this at least for me was a really beautiful message. Again, we have to respect us as humans not as women or men because believe it or not, expecially in the years we live, this is irrelevant in our life.
don’t worry babe, i’m 29 years old. i have no children. i just love my mama. and i STILL cried in theaters unexpectedly 🤣 this movie hits on all levels i loved it
Sasha and her friends at the table are ment to be the original bratz dolls. This movie really surprised me. Loved it
When I heard about this movie I laughed and laughed and just disregarded it. Then I watched it and it's really brilliant. Seeing the dude bro discourse on social media about this movie was just added entertainment. This movie is the perfect example of a director taking a historically iconic landmark in Barbie and mixes it with modern social realities. Huge shout out to Mattel for letting Greta Gerwig do her thing.
I saw this on my mom's birthday, 12 years after she passed, and that ode to mothers at the end absolutely wrecked me.
My favourite movie of the year. 💖 Margot Robbie is the perfect Barbie and she managed to portray this role in such a sincere manner.
She was a major reason the film got made. Notice her producer’s credit.
I like how they even had to break the 4th wall in the film to specifically point that out! lol
Guessing you haven’t seen many movies this year
@@packedentertainment2866Actually, I watch & enjoy all genres of movies. This is my favourite movie of the year. Take your passive-aggressive incel comments elsewhere. Thanks.
was watching live with yall but fell asleep RIGHT before the Im Just Ken sequence😩😩 the plight of an east coast stikker. so glad to see yalls reaction lmao
our start time for the movie streams are brutal for you east coasters... wish we could get it done earlier
I think Stephen made an understandable point about there being "good dudes" in the world, however a good dude should know that already without the need to point it out. But even then it's difficult to stay silent about it since we there's the want to speak up. And of course the movie knows that as well. Ken is an example of that, he's not a bad person he was just got a little misguided from feeling overlooked.
Of course I’m going to call out what I feel. This movie just made pretty all the dudes in this movie total doofuses, which is funny and fit the tone of the movie. I honestly don’t even care that much, media doesn’t impact me one way or the other. Just funny but as a girl dad, I get it.
@@NikkiStevenReact sure media can impact some people or most, subliminal brainwashing, programming, etc.
Sorry, i just had to pause the watch through to tell Nikki, as someone who lost their mother 2 years ago, you never not need your mum. I was 25 when she passed, the same age she was when she had me, and i miss her every single day. I barely have the strength to say her name still. Youre an amazing mum and your girls are so lucky to have yous 😫💚
For what it's worth - you're right on track with where I was 2 years in - it will keep getting easier. I don't think it will EVER be ok - but it does get easier.
I didn’t cry at this movie, but watching Nikki get emotional, it really made the movie better for me. I haven’t had the joy of being a mother yet, but makes me see the joy in doing so ❤ great reaction as always guys ❤
I love Nikki's heart. I love how much she loves being a mother ❤️ it's always amazing when Steven is so supportive. You both sound like amazing parents. My daughter is 12 so I can completely relate as well.
Margot Robbie's Barbie is literally one of the best movie herione's ever. She not only is instantly likeable but she goes on such a emotional and thought provoking journey and is not the same character at the end as she is at the beginning!
Steven is watching this movie in a totally dude glasses, and its fine, it doesnt always have to resonate with everyone. Because it shouldnt be a problem when movie goes back and forth in between serious and silly. There's no rules for that. But Nikki got it and we hear you. Im sure you're a wonderful and strong mom. Your girls are gonna grow up into beautiful strong women, in part ofc their dad is awesome too. And you dont have to water down your feelings or commentary. We hear you 😊
When it started getting serious I was actually watching it with my girl dad glasses on. Just wasn’t expecting the seriousness and the depth of the story.
I can see you're a very supportive partner. Its great to see a reaction/commentary from both sides. A girl mom and a girl dad, especially with tweens age. Please tell Nikki what I said if you dont mind ☺ oh and I havent been watching every videos you put up lately because of life stuff, and I dont know if it's a new format, but I really like the part in the end when you put the stream questions and do some Q&A. A good upgrade from the usual end commentary@@NikkiStevenReact
Ryan Gosling has that Golden Globe for best actor in a comedy or musical on lock. 😆
He was awesome!!
I’m so glad to see you both watching this film! It is interesting that you both ended up being almost a perfect test couple for this film because you both had what has been the overwhelming response from women and from men.
truth!! they’re both awesome ppl at heart so i knew i’d enjoy their reaction. you never know what you’re gonna get when some men watch this movie and what their response will be bc i’ve seen some pretty outlandish reactions but i didn’t expect anything short of their reaction being awesome
What’s funny is the song I’m Just Ken was originally written as a joke, but they loved it so much that they worked it into the film.
yes, this movie is totally for women who used to love barbies back in the 90s-2000's. it's like a gift for them! love you guys' recap! :)
I think this movie is for everyone. I never liked barbies and I loved the movie. Men can like it too.
@@casie6609I don’t think so. It’s definitely for women that think men are stupid & that men don’t deserve power & that all the power that men have should be taken away & given to all women in existence just cause the movie said so. This movie thinks that the only way equality can be solved is by pushing men down & elevating woman so that men have no power & women have all the power which in the end does the opposite of equality by not evening the leveling field.
They said right in the trailer "If you love Barbie, this movie is for you. If you hate Barbie, this movie is for you." I never had a Barbie, just her friend Francie who never really played with, anyway. I LOVE this movie.
Not me crying my eyes out with Nikki, AGAIN, as if I wasn't in the livestream crying my eyes out there too 😩
I loved this, and really enjoyed your reactions. Nikki, your tears actually made the movie more meaningful and emotional for me -- I cried watching it with you even though I didn't cry when watching alone. I admit that I was a little disappointed in Steven's reaction, as I hoped he would be more open-minded to the film's message given that he's a guy with such a strong wife and daughters. (Hopefully it resonated more later.)
Steven, how many, many, many movies have you guys reacted to that were hugely focused on male POVs by default (the vast majority) -- and you never paused to question that? Just because this one had something to say about the female POV, or because it was serious as well as funny, doesn't make it less worthy.
Thanks as always!
Fun fact shasha and her friends at school are a reference to the Bratz dolls
I remember everyone in the theater being so excited when they walked in and when they walked out everyone had tear stains down their cheeks. Wasn’t expecting to have an existential crisis in a Barbie movie!
The way everyone movie / show reaction is so genuine and heartfelt and true is the reason I love this channel .
As a mother of two young men, I love how Ken has his own journey towards feeling good in his own skin- with or without a Barbie by his side.
There're some deeper stuff hidden under layers of goofy.
Watching this film in a packed theater cackling and crying in the same runtime was an experience I will cherish. It's lovely to know that even some home reactions, that same emotion is still felt.
"That's because they're Dreamhouses Motha#$%*"
You guys sound like amazing parents, I know the kids do go through their phase of wanting to be their own person BUT as they mature they are going to realize how amazing and lucky they are to have you as parents.
The movie acknowledges that there are good dudes. You meet Allen, he is a guy that doesn't go along with the BS. You can tell Steven is a good dude when Nikki was crying, he comforted her and didn't try to make a joke or belittle her feelings.
Oh Nikki, I know how you feel about your kid pulling away, just remember they come back, and being friends as adults with your child is one of the biggest best blessings you can't even imagine, you can't get there without going through this so don't worry, you will be so happy with the bond you have once she's a bit older.
Aw, Nikki honey, I really felt for you there. That you're sad to be losing that connection makes me so happy for them, that you love them so much. Such a beautiful thing to share that with us, sending big hugs 💕🌠
It’s very touching hearing your insights on being parents of two girls growing up. As I was listening to you I thought you should watch Lady Bird. It’s the film debut of the director of this movie and I think it’s going to move you both in a good way.
It’s out of what you regularly watch on your channel but I just think you’ll love it.
Edit: love the inclusion of the live comments and questions ❤
I saw this movie just a couple weeks ago and it was more hilarious than I could have imagined. Until the end. I'm a single guy with no kids and even I was tearing up at that part with all the old family movies. I loved everything about this movie. All the comedy makes all the serious bits hit that much harder, I loved that about it.
According to the trainer, directors and anyone else, Ryan Gosling is a dream to work with, never complains and he really is built like that.
Could have done without all the eyerolls from Steven, but I appreciate him taking the time to watch this in the first place. This film isn't for everyone but it hits hard and powerfully for a lot of us. The depth was welcomed.
Idk I think he was just reacting to the over-the-top ness of the whole thing, and it was very over the top!
I feel like my overall opinion is fair regardless of my eye rolls, which Gray is correct, mostly for how way over the top the movie is.
I mean is reaction was pretty good, since the whole movie doesn't show any good/positive representation of men. All mention of what men struggles with are either a punchline/butt of a joke (dumb, useless, jealous, vain, being a bro) or brushed over (barely mentioned or sandwich between patriarchy is bad/women as it worst speech). They only mentioned bad women once in the entire movie and again it was sandwich between men are this and men are that points of Sasha's speech. So it was extremely polarized making most of the movie polorizing and exaggerated.
Even America's speech about what women are is over the top and most of those requirements are pushed on women by other women, but they don't mention that part. Blaming Barbie for women's poor self esteem is ridiculous, bc no one said you have to look like her, just bc women assumed that it was what men wanted women to be (even tho a women created Barbie) isn't the dolls fault but women's fault for assuming it was. Like there isn't one point in the movie where there is women accountability for the bad experience women have. It's always blamed on patriarchy (men, since the term is mainly about men) or men. When a women is bad, it's "internal misogyny, men manipulation, patriarchy, etc." It's never that women is like that, it has to be a result of men's actions/patriarchy.
17:00 - Nikki, I cried in exactly the same spot. And I don't even have kids. I was having a good time till then. That's when I realized this movie is serious. I literally had to pause for a couple of minutes to catch my breath till the shocked tears slowed.
42:00 - And I cried again here too my first time around, just as hard as you did. Wow. I was telling a friend about crying twice at the movie and she laughed because she can't imagine how well-done it is. I can't convince her to see it.
This thing could have sucked so hard if left to Hollywood committee. Instead it's a surprisingly great movie by an award-bait creative team.
I am trying to convince my wife and son to watch this. I know they would love it.
From a 20-something daughter looking back- as the 11-year-old who pulled away, pull harder. If my mom hadn't stood by me unwaveringly, I would not be here today. Remind her she's beautiful, talented, and beyond anything any middle schooler could ever conceptualize. Have faith in your motherhood, she still loves you. The only difference now is she's aware of the expectations of society instead of just yours. You are a good mom, remind yourself of that.
11:13 They did make a Weird Barbie doll for this movie! I guarantee it sold-out fast.
Take a shot every time Steven shakes his head 😅
Ruined the reaction
It’s so cool that your grandpa made your Barbie house 🥹
Any movie that makes me laugh AND cry is a winner.
it’s not abt this movie saying all men behave that way. or saying that “good guys exist” it’s not attacking men. it’s simply telling what patriarchy does. and patriarchy is very real. men are the default. men are given more power over women. men make more money than women. it’s all unfair and not equal whatsoever. barbie land was something created to give girls and women a safe space to feel empowered. there are PLENTY of films where men are put on the pedestal and given the light. this movie represents the women. and in a way that doesn’t revolve around a man either. so it bugs me when men get all irked or feel attacked in any way shape or form because there are literally SO many movies that depict women in such negative lights that men can’t even let this ONE movie be for the women and not abt the men. if women can go on abt their lives after watching movie after movie where the woman revolves around the man, or is an asset to a man or only talks to other women if it’s abt a man, and not complain then why can’t men not complain abt this movie? u know? men literally have everything and they still want more!!! replay that montage that ken saw when he got to the real world. men have SO much representation and love in this world. but the women are still fighting for their rights today. and u don’t need to explain that ur a “good guy” or ur family has “good guys” it’s NOT ABT MEN. period. this movies in the view from a women. and this is how most women feel!!! so men will never understand because they are NOT WOMEN. listen to women’s voices. listen to their stories. dont dismiss them. men need to be more like allen also. acknowledging the struggles women face in this world and using their privilege to support them!!!
This movie was never advertised like a kids movie. It was exactly what you would expect from a Greta+Noah script: brilliant writing, existential stuff 😆 and it made feel so seen. 🎉
Adorable reaction. Nikki you are beautiful. Loved your feels. So many great messages. Have a fabulous day 😁
All of the characters in the movie were real Mattel dolls. If you watch the credits close, they show the real dolls, the Allan doll actually says on the packaging "I'm Ken's best friend, all of his clothes fit me" The pooping dog was real, and believe it or not, "Growing Up Skipper" was real too. When you moved her arm, not only did her boobs grow, but she got a little taller as well! Ahhh growing up in the 70's and 80's was so much fun, because there weren't really any rules. It is hard for us that did grow up in those times now, because every little thing seems to upset somebody. It was just a much more fun time, as if everybody was in on the jokes.
This was the most wholesome reaction to this movie I've seen. Thanks for sharing all your personal thoughts. I wish I still had my mom ... You're such wonderful parents! ❤
Fun fact:The daughter played little Gamora and Ashoka
Holy shit her playing young Gamora makes so much sense
I love the community questions at the end 🥺
My grandma still has her original Barbie doll with the swimsuit and she also still has some of the skipper and midge dolls
As a 25-year-old, I sobbed when Nikki said "my eleven-year-old is pulling away :( " This movie made me think how as an adolescent I could have been nicer to my mom because it was her first time raising a girl, a child, and at the time I wasn't aware she was just trying. This movie gave me a profound appreciation for women and mothers. Great reaction!
The movie making a billion $ frequently confuses the heck out of many (not all) men. Many men think the best thing about the movie was Ryan Gosling instead of the main story arc for Barbie. The movie was made to primarily speak to women and their issues. Many women are feeling unseen most of the time and the movie was able to make them feel seen and heard which is a big part of why so many women saw the movie multiple times. Some male reactors have even said that there was “too much” emphasis on Barbie’s “issues” and “self-actualization” and there should have been more Ken and emphasis on his mental health and expectations. Like, WHAT? 😅 The film director industry is primarily male dominated and yet many men felt the one movie directed by a woman about a female doll that females (and effeminate males) primarily played with should have been more MALE focused? Why don’t men just petition their male directors to make such a movie; not about blowing things up, hunting a killer terrorizing a small town, nor trying to plot how to trick their way into bed with a female? Instead, make a movie for Ken and show him growing and learning about himself, maybe. Why should Gretchen change her project for a movie called, “Barbie” but then focus on Ken? Because the men don’t understand what the movie did/does for women they are constantly doubting that it “deserves” its billion+ $. They’ve even been mad that Oppenheimer didn’t make as much $; the stories are not comparable and there is no need to tear a woman nor her works down because it doesn’t speak to them. Like how, again, (not all but many) men question the success of Beyoncé and Taylor Swift. 🤷🏽♀️What’s up with that?
Le sigh.😔
All of the women are fantastic and Ryan Gosling is amazing. The mother speech broke my hear. Only women will understand that.
Im a new mom to a wonderful little girl , shes 2 now and when I watched this I got extremely emotional especially when Ruth said the part about Mothers standing back and watching their daughters move forward . This is such a special movie and it really hits you in the feels , thankyou for your reaction.
I've watched a few Barbie reactions... and your reaction was the first to make me cry!! 😭😭😭😭😭 I'm a mom of 3 adult Barbies and 2 Kens( and survived them with some major scars) ..so I GOT this movie 100 percent. Thanks guys...❤❤
