Thank you for watching and please share your opinions even if they are opposed to my own.
The more reviews I watch the more I conclude that rule by man is good and viable option. Woman can contribute within this system, but it can and should never be the other way around.
A personal sore spot is the construction workers: My dad has worked many jobs of a similar nature, toiling for endless hours to provide enough for my mom, siblings, and I. My dad has been a hard laborer his entire life, and I've always held immense respect and love for him as his daughter for that. The arrogance of Hollywood is pitiful.
I'm so sorry. For me, the sore spot was them complaining about being “thin but not too thin”. I live in the South and have seen what the obesity epidemic does to people. So watching the movie disregard society promoting being a healthier size upset me, especially when the USA is the fattest nation.
I very much agree I work similar thankless hard jobs to pay my way through college and to know the contempt and lack of understanding they have in Hollywood for the average working man makes me irate. We work very long hours doing backbreaking labor for not nearly enough pay most of the guys I work with will be stuck there or jobs like it for the rest of their lives because in our society that’s their “place”. It’s no small wonder the male suicide rate is so high. People wonder why men feel isolated and hopeless it’s because for many of us we are. The types of people who make these productions will not understand until the infrastructure they depend upon starts collapsing when enough men take the comfort of a grave over the pain of life.
Im sure your dad was a fine man. The trope of a construction worker shouting sexist comments to women is nothing more than an old comedy stereotype. Although it's long established and shorthand for a certain type of bad behavior I don't think anyone really believes all construction workers behave like this. It's a cartoon style joke that belongs in this movie because it ia also a ridiculous cartoon like parody. Lighten up. You are the only person offended by this. The movie was not a personal attack on your father. It's an old trope that helps writers set up punchlines and nothing more. Hollywood is pitiful? wow.
They took an innocent Kid's toy and turned her into a cruel tyrant, made Ken, a typically forgotten accessory the underdog of this oppression and now everyone online is team Ken and hates Barbie. Wtf is this madness. It's fascinating.
What I find most impressive is how oblivious these "woke" writers are that they consistently and unintentionally make villains out of whom they intend to be the heroes, and heroes out of whomever they intend to be villains... And while the trend is stronger now they were doing it back in the 90's too. They must have lost all touch with reality.
define 'woke'. And I'll say it again - Barbie is not a villain of the story she is a flawed heroine. People always accept flaws in male main characters, such as Bojack Horseman, Eric Cartman, Peter Griffin, Homer Simpson, Sterling Archer, etc.@@vidard9863
She holds a party for her friends to have fun at? She has a meaningful conversation at the end with Ken to make him feel better even though he doesn't deserve it as he literally stole her house. She unbrainwashes her friends when they have been brainwashed into thinking they deserve less than they do.@@vidard9863
As an anecdote from an all-female workplace, I used to work part time at a research lab where all of the staff except me were women. Everyone of them talked shit about each other behind their backs, and especially of the research head who in turn treated her underlings like an absolute tyrant. I was present in one occasion where she ran into the darkroom where a girl had been measuring the breathing of bean weevils for the last 18 hours without sleep. She didn't notice me because we had partitioned the room and I was on the other side hidden from the door. She started screeching how the measuring results were garbage, how the girl is a worthless piece of shit and is actively trying to ruin her project. It went way beyond just reprimanding an employee. Also slammed the door as hard as she could for a finish. As soon as she was gone the girl cried for like 15 minutes straight and said this happened all the time. I told her maybe she should look for a project from another department, and lo and behold the next day she'd quit and the research head was crawling all over the walls panicking because now she had nobody to take the measurements 18 hours straight in a darkroom. Local man ruins everything, and I don't regret it. By the way everybody treated me like a king and I got a big box of chocolates from the research head at the end of my stint. Later in life I've ran into a lot of women who have worked in women-only environments and all of them have said those places desperately need men around in the mix to prevent the infighting and tyranny.
I worked in a (mostly) female GP surgery and I was bullied out of that job after only two months. The amount of backstabbing that went on when I wasn't working was insane- they decided I wasn't in their clique and turned on me within about a day. Absolutely awful
that's sad. the only place with all women I worked at which was conflict free, was a research lab. it was nice and calm, the head researcher was very thoughtful and considerate. There was this problematic girl but even that wasn't an issue since the other ladies didn't play into her toxicity. But I do agree, most women at workplaces can become like this, they (or, we) are conflicting and backstabbers. They'll be the ones who judge you, envy you, betray you, be hypocrites to... I much rather be around men,,they're more straightforward and relaxed.
I never worked in a women olny place, so I can't exactly say anything about that kind of situation. Altough so far in all of my jobs majority of workers are women. While it's true that some of them afe rather ficle with who is their bestie of the month, I consider most of them rather good co-workers. With the exception of two of the laziest people I've met so far - one of them was a woman, the other a man. I must admit though that my previous boss was the most viscious woman I've ever met. The kind that kindly smiles at you while stabbing you in the back multiple times. She was tormenting her employees and after a few months almost ten people resigned because of a break down or simply because they couldn't stand her. She was the single worst boss I had so far and I had a few. Most of them were men and they were descent or good people and easy to work with. The lady I mentioned before was the opposite. While I do belive there are a lot of competent women easy to work with I also admit that most of them are not in the highest position. From my experience women who want power are often willing to sacrifice others to achive their goal. That's why with my current work experience I prefer if my boss is a man. Not to mention that women sometimes take forever to make a decision. A worst type of boss is one who can't make his or her mind. And I am a woman myself, so I know what I'm taking about - at least where indecision is a factor 🙂
Apparently during the rollerblade scene Margot Robbie was mad that people came up and talked to Ken, joked with him, told him how good he looked, took pictures with him and were super friendly, while guys looked at her, but didn’t come up to try and talk to her. How mad would she be if a bunch of guys came up hugging her and asking for pictures and telling her how good she looked??
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. I believe it was the director that used that example as the proof of patriarchy. Let’s not forget the nonstop mainstream message is all men are rapists just waiting to happen and what the #metoo movement did. All feminists fault.
Because in 2023, even if you're a tweaked-out meth head sleeping on the street in Venice Beach, you know damn well that you don't ever approach Margot Robbie and talk with her. Under any circumstances.
At this point I kinda wish they try build a Barbie world so we can see them crumble as they have no "sexist" construction worker to build their houses.
@@user-bw6iq7dd8l Speaking of "toxic".... in fact the Left is going full-Malthusian. They despise the human race and resent being a part of it. This is why EVERYthing they say and do is so hideous, it is all designed to crush the human spirit and eliminate as many of us as possible.
If you replace "patriarchy" with "corporate California culture", then Boss Mom's screed becomes correct. Also, Will Ferrell calls Barbie a Jezebel. She was the wife of King Ahab, and she used false rumour to take out her enemies. Barbie takes back Barbieland by setting the Kens against each other.
Nailed it. And I wish I could give you extra thumbs up for knowing your Bible history! Some of those women in the Bible were straight up psychos, and others were what strong women are SUPPOSED to be like.
Also, from what I've read, Greta Gerwig depicts a caricature of the world as it was thought of 70 to a 100 years ago. Greta Gerwig is 40. She never even knew the world she depicts in her film. Even if we're generous in saying that her film tries to create empathy for women in men by reversing the roles... Things haven't been close to being like this in 100 years. If her social commentary is "look at how women have it hard", she's 100 years too late. Not only has this message been regurgitated over and over again in all media possible over the last 80 years, but it fails to account for today's challenges. She completely lacks understanding of the male psyche and modern men's issues. In targeting an adult audience (more precisely, people her age and older), she also selects the wrong audience for a political commentary. People her age and older already have ossified beliefs that are REALLY hard to change and adapt. As far as women are concerned, she fails to address what really eats away at modern women: being asked to perform like men, at the risk of denying their own femininity both in biology and in mindset, the slow realization that career is a useless rat race, defining a new paradigm for dating with the age of digitalization and its consequences,.. It would resonate with women in oppressive patriarchal structures... That is if the men allow their women to go to the movies in the first place. Also to my point about her message being vastly outdated: we're talking about a movie primarily made, planned and conceived by strong, independent, successful women, for women. Then you'll have women point out that there hasn't been a female president yet, and the answer is obvious: culturally, we're there already. Clinton almost made it (she wouldn't have been allowed to even compete in a "man's world", see how many prominent female politicians exist in Egypt...), and even some of the most patriarchal societies in Western Europe have elected female leaders, especially (interestingly) from conservative or far-right movements. And so rather than regurgitate that tired old tripe, she could go on about how, despite obvious progress in that department, the legal system still doesn't do justice to our collective lofty ideals. Or how the workplace is still plagued by a small, but extremely toxic minority. But they said "Nah, it'll be fine".
Worth noting further is that even the patriarchal world of yesteryear and far yonder that she imagines is modern America, is not anything like what she excoriates. This is one of the fundamental problems with all forms of feminism: their frankly insane conspiracy theory conception of patriarchy and "female subjugation." They'd have you believe that past societies where ruled by naked and brute male force and that women where seen as subhuman and basically enslaved. This description fits literally 0 societies and civilizations; *all* human societies are ruled by customs and and taboos that are primarily enforced by women, *all* human societies value the safety and sanctity of women highly and patriarchal structures exist precisely in order to ensure that. Depending on how much women can safely contribute they may have more or less overt influence; so arctic whale hunters or nomadic herders, where women simply cannot help with food gathering without risking death and kidnaping, have narrower roles for women and tropical hunter-gatherers or temperate semi-agriculturalists, where food gathering is basically 50-50, have much broader ones; but they all value and seek to protect women. In primitive and harsh societies, constantly facing famine and war, this protection may often *look* like subjugation from the outside, but only when one ignores the extreme danger and toil that the vast majority of men in such societies face.
So a thought has occurred to me. If the positions of the Ken dolls is supposed to be a comparison to what real world women go through, doesn't that mean the message of the movie is that we should remove women's rights? According to the plot's own logic the Kens rising up against the barbies is a bad thing. But the Kens are supposed to be a representation of the oppression women face. More over its considered a happy ending when the kens are repressed. So following the internal logic of the movie leads to the idea that oppressed groups should continue to be suppressed and leave the group majority in complete control.
Jeeh..I wonder what happened. It's almost like anything purely emotionally fueled lacks all logic and becomes hypocritical by design as it's not based in reality at all...😂😂😂
@@tsaralexis9459The President refuses to allow a Ken as a Supreme Court Judge but will only allow less consequential positions. Doesn't sound like she learned anything.
Tell me if you relate to the following scenario: You go watch the Barbie movie with male and female friends, and when it's over you start to ask them about a plot hole or something that didn't make sense in the movie and every time without fail your female friend will say: You're just nitpicking! You don't get what the movie is really about! You're overthinking too much! Maybe I'm alone on this one, but it's a phenomenon I witness more and more often.
it's the same thing as the crpto bro's when you tell them they're being scammed... all you can really do is watch your friend or whatever get burned...they won't listen until they lose their life savings... it's really cult-like behavior... the nice thing about it is, if these women who fall into this can't fall back out, at least the evolutionary traits that caused them to be that way will die with them...
Well if it helps any.... I'm a woman and I HATE this female take over of everything I loved. I hate this. I LIKED the MCU when it was new and fun. I LIKED DC comics back in the day. And yeah... I have been nitpicking this movie apart at the seams for a while. .... it's my mom who gets very angry and annoyed at me. my mom, 63 years old, who needs this movie to be deep and true... all though she also keeps talking about how GREAT it is she could finally go on pension and leave the work market she didn't like... and my dad is a communist too, they are both products of the 70's movement and pride themselves on being the amazing free thinkers that challenge society. (Yet believe EVERYTHING television tells them.) So yeah... I call out the bullshit, my parents think I am really stupid for even saying it.... And the funny thing is, when i was a kid I LOVED barbie dolls. my room was pink, I had loads of Barbie dolls and I loved them. I loved the direct to VHS movies as well... this SUCKS!
I, for the life of me, cannot understand what people are missing... When I point out the propagandandistic nature of this film people lose their minds! Its like they all have a script... The line is "did you even see the movie?!" Or something like that. They never address any of my points. They just insult me and call me stupid or an incel.
I keep hearing over and over that it’s a parody, that it’s my fault that I just don’t understand that it’s parody. Why can’t all these people who agree with you and I not see that it’s parody? The issue with that statement (besides how ridiculously condescending it is) is that if a parody cannot make its jokes clear, then it has failed to be a parody. It has failed to deliver any kind of biting or even minorly impactful commentary on the subject it parodies. So either this movie is the product of a comedically inept director not understanding how to execute a parody, or it is the result of a director not knowing how to form proper propaganda because of how contradictory her ideology is. Barbie is seen both as a feminist icon for her numerous careers, or a misogynistic icon because she’s a literal female object. Greta doesn’t seem to know whether to go the “women being objectified is sexually empowering” route or the “her sexual objectification belittles her achievements” route. Either way, her movie is not a parody of either one, or anything at all. It’s just a mess.
Hey, great news, since you made this review there HAS been an all-female space walk. Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara took part in a six hour and forty two minute space walk during which time they managed to replace hardware on the solar array of the ISS... They also managed to drop their tool-bag, which is now orbiting the earth at approximately 17,000 mph a few minutes ahead of the ISS. It has been given the designation 'space-junk' and the ID number: 58229/ 1998-067WC. It will descend into Earth's atmosphere and burn up at some point in the next few months. Great job gals, that's really sticking it to the patriarchy!
As a Taiwanese who dreads every day of war, your short, but substantial remark of us reassure me a lot. Thank you sir. We might die and/or made slaves eventually but I won't forget you.
Live in the philippines man, if China ever takes you guys, we're next on their list, so I feel you. I'm an american living here, an expat, me and my wife have been together for 17 years with 6 kids here - stay strong and realize that the west won't save you - at least, now while the dems are in power, sad to say Edit: btw, I'll never support someone who won't say you guys are your own thing - and I loved the subtitles that despot added to the John Cena cuck fest :P
As a Russian here, you starting out with the Battle of the Kalka River was an unexpected treat within a treat that your videos always are. Wow ❤ Thank you! 🎉 P. S. The name Mstislav comes from the words 'revenge' and 'glory'. Still popular, by the way. Just a bit of trivia I thought I'd share 😊
The name Mstislav most likely had a different meaning back then, the word for revenge in modern russian is related to the prefix "mis-" in modern english, as in "misconception"
I doubt it was different, “Mscić się” means to take revenge in Polish, and zemsta is their word for revenge (ze- msta) On a related note, the russian book “envy” was a really good read. It’s from soviet times and it’s a dark comedy about a sausage factory entrepeneur who takes in a drifter/layabout to inspire him to become a model soviet citizen. The layabout ends up ruining the benefactor’s career. Why? Envy. It’s a tale about what happens when you don’t understand the driving force of Lumpenproletarian politics- it’s the politics of envy, and the riot/theft/graffiti/robbery is not a byproduct of being Wokeist, it is the goal, which they hide under a veneer of wanting Justice.
Традиции сохраняются. Русские по-прежнему нажираются до поросячего визга на фронте. А алкаши генералы устраивают построения личного состава на открытой местности.
Maybe you are right. But given that this name is very old (it exists in many slavic languages, including polish) and words tend to change meanings I still do not agree. My pet theory is that it means "replenish the glory". ofc I don't have any evidence, but I think it makes more sense
Can feminists stop pretending like society is the 1960s and not 2023 when women can do whatever they want while also enjoying the majority being on anti-depressants? I like how delightfully un-self-aware the "depression Barbie" ad spot was. Women in my audience, literally, audibly said "true" during that segment.
The movie literally says that. There is a scene where Ken walks into a hospital and is disappointed that it isn't really a patriarchy like he had imagined (there's a women doctor and being a man doesn't earn him any privileges.)
@@themostbestwizardBut the movie did confirm that America is a patriarchy, they just hide it better. They're still pretending to be oppressed by societal expectations.
Same. I think it's because feminism is being taught by grandmothers that just remember their time. I experienced this with my parents or grandparents over different issues, they've seen a lot but forget that things are different. Which isn't to say they are stupid, but feminists need to stop focusing on the past and pay attention to the present. Also in post modern feminism (or fourth wave, whatever it's called), rights are a side note to correcting peoples psychology and "unconscious bias", because they are running out of things to fight for. It's also intrusive, and an unrealistic, lofty goal. Like they can't read minds.
At least you don't shadowban people who disagree with you like so many other TH-camrs who are TOTALLY for free speech until someone makes an argument they can't rebut.
I stumbled upon your comment while showing this video to a friend of mine, glad you won copyright trials. Despot, I have a request for you, with the decline of western entertainment industry, I have seen many people move from “classical” western movies to East Asian animation (aka anime). Pax Tube has an interesting video that provides some explanations for why would right wing people, especially among the younger generation, like anime (title: “why we like anime girls” but it goes deeper in the analysis than it may seem). This media is often overlooked by critics because it is often associated with the utter degeneracy some of its forms embodies, but regular cinema also ranges from peak art to dumpster on fire. This is why I would find very interesting to hear your thoughts as a movie critics on the subject. As an example of something you may appreciate, Hellsing Ultimate is, despite being edgy from time to time, absolutely gorgeous when it comes to the art and story and gives the audience what they want ( a lot of gunfights reminiscent of a better time of western movie industry). As always, LONG LIVE THE DESPOTATE. O7
@@vfbrs2382Interesting. I am familiar with Paxtube and actually realky like his channel. I will watch that video about Anime. I watch very little anime but will have to qatch more.
What is truly disturbing and disgusting is to see real woman in the real-world act like Barbie in the Barbie movie and then find a guy, after rejecting many men, or a guy like Ken who is perfect for her, and to see the guy she chooses, who if we go in depth, we'll see how horrible of a choice that guy really is. She wants a Minion, not a Man, not a 'real man', as she says, 'I want a real man'. She is not saying what she actually wants, and what she wants is conditioned by her PERCEPTION. These movies, like Barbie are designed to CONDITION the PERCEPTION of the perspective of the audience members, woman, but also males who view it. This movie is purely a Propaganda Film.
The actors still spewed the nonsense. People just didn't want to listen. Every interview was full of hot takes. White women would not be denied their black panther moment. So it is now our duty to appropriate this movie as a life lesson for men. No matter how much you give women it will never be Kenough. So save your Kenergy and Kenvest it in yourself.
I saw an entirely different lesson: 1) Patriarchy works 2) Women are brainwashable, it doesn't even take much time. So don't be an atomized loner, that's what they want. Pick one, "instruct" her properly, and have a big family.
@@marbellaotaiza801 Indeed, that was the best part of it all; it takes one man like 2 days to overthrow a matriarchy, install men in power, AND ALSO make all the women happy too. No wonder feminists fear men; just one of us is more powerful than their entire movement.
@@marbellaotaiza801exactly... because men are known for being extremely bad at organization 😂😂😂...then there's the "patriarchy" wich would be a male organized society....so wich is it now?... or it's a gender switch where the Kens are supposed to represent women the Barbies men...but then if the Kens represent women, when they go into the real "horrible" world run by themselves it would be a matriarchy, wich is equally sexist as hell. Then the women are actually the men; so they are the ones who are anxious, insecure and feel threatend all the time?...it just doesn't quite now work does it.....
As a Puerto Rican myself, there’s an old Spanish proverb that says, “Predicar la moral en los calzoncillos.” Which means, “Preaching morality only in their underwear!” And to me, this is the summary of the entire movie 🎥 🤦♂️
I thought it was funny when the Kens came to an agreement after finding out that there was no reason to fight eachother and that it was making them unhappy. Meanwhile, the Barbies are actually happy, but have to be told that they aren't and then use deception to regain control
I love how their plan is to turn the men against each other but men are much more likely to follow the bro code and stick up for each other and women are far more likely to tear each other at the slightest provocation
@@NightimeInDeepSpace except for corporate backstabbing, in gangs and war you usually do it for you Kengdom, so you're still sticking up for each other and following the Ken code.
@NightimeInDeepSpace Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Bathomy, Empress Wu Zetian, Bloddy Mary, Catherine The Great, Queen Mary of Teck, Queen Liliuokalani, Empress Dowager Cixi, Queen Tamar, Queen Ranavalona, Queen Amina Of Zazaau, Queen of Isabella. Yeah do not tell me lies that woman only tear each other down due to men, beacause these women prove they are just as evil and blood thirsty as men, if not worse!
The pure logic and analysis in this review is incredible. This is an absolute masterclass of exposing hypocrisy of feminism. Feminism is poision to a enlightened society, and no review proves it more than this one!!
Except that Barbie is fake feminism according to actual feminists. Kind of nuts, but there it is. I personally don't what I'm doing here, I'm just a bored 40 year old waiting for my holiday from my horrible job.
@@SevenEllen sorry to hear about the job. Modern feminists are liars though: Barbie world is an accurate representation of their political goals. The Despot was right when he mocked the sisterhood as this is the most economically successful feminist movie (which means it was seen by a lot of potential victims) and they can't wait to tear it apart by saying it's fake feminism...
I love that Barbieland is an ethno-nationalist world hellbent on maintaining power in only one demographic based purely on gender. It’s phenomenal what was accomplished with this film. It’s a feminist movie with far right political arguments.
I found it absolutely shocking the tropes of Barbie being smacked and catcalled. If you actually walk in the streets you realize that doesn't happen, especially after MuToo. A construction worker would be fully aware that a complaint from a woman could cost him his job. Its complete fiction, showing how detached from reality these feminists are.
The fact that the screenwriter wrote marriage story, a movie about divorce, I felt like I was watching a divorce between barbie and Ken. Barbie has already come to terms with the fact she doesn't love Ken anymore and Ken has no idea so he's still in love with her. Ken has to figure out who he is again, much like a long term relationship that's become one sided. As a child of divorce all the signs were screaming at me. It was so uncomfortable. But especially their insensitive jokes about depression. I felt more comfortable watching the Joker movie than the barbie movie. This movie is just midlife crisis divorce movie with barbie.
This movie turned out to be everything I expected it to be just from seeing a trailer. Also, the whole power=happiness thing completely cuts out the fact that some people, men and women both, can find happiness in many ways, including by being mothers and/or fathers while their partners are the ones who go out and work a day job. Some even split the responsibilities half-and-half, working part-time jobs and taking care of their children when not at work. Some people are perfectly happy to take up these roles and no one should be judged or shamed for that.
And infertile people? What about disabled people who derive their happiness from caring for animals for example? It’s not either be a parent or a charicarure of a feminist boss babe. It’s such a first world thing lmao go anywhere that’s not Europe and US and sadly you’ll find women forced to work even if they have children and they do it out of necessity not because they want to be powerful. They need to eat. Also a lot of women have lost their husbands either through death or have become disabled due to work place incidents, are they also trying to become powerful and should be shunned when they go to work so their kids can eat?
It's strange to see Barbie, a family friendly icon of female childhood and fashion become a feminist movie of political contradictions with a marketing that many consider deceptive and might've accidently exposed Mattel and their co-founder's controversial history. I also think it's feminist narrative is pretty much black and white when regarding men as evil and women as good despite life and history proving men and women of the past, present and future were both, would feminists have anything to say regarding evil women?
@@eastvilleholdingscorporate7881 Netflix could've done that African Kween and made a killing (pun intended) instead of committing commercial suicide with Cleopatra.
I am both shocked and deeply impressed by your analysis and counter arguments against this movie and the arguments made by the director. The one thing that upset me about this movie was the construction man trope. Hollywood has long made fun of the working class. Portraying us as moronic brutes. I don't care that it might make some women look down on us, but it bothers me that it might make any male who see's it feel less than, because of this constant portrayal.
They hate construction workers more than, I dunno, trash collectors or factory workers for some reason. Maybe it's the secret inner knowledge that they'd be living under a tree if it wasn't for you guys. Kenspect from an architect.
@@marbellaotaiza801 I liked a lot of things about the movie (though the breakup still made me sad) but I agree wholeheartedly that the anti-working-class elitism was vile.
As a carpenter myself women hate the fact that they are physically to weak to do the job, therefore in a narcissistic way try to push us down to make themselves feel ok about it
When Life in the Dreamhouse has better comedy than the actual live action Barbie movie, you know there’s a problem. In fact, not adding more of Barbie’s iconic sisters or the TRUE QUEEN RAQUELLE is an actual crime in itself. Seriously, get on that show, even if you’re a grown adult. You'll realize how much more relatable and funny Life in the Dreamhouse truly is. Raquelle basically was what carried the show.
I can't believe they really didn't give Barbie her sisters or Raquelle. I myself don't watch Life in the Dreamhouse because I prefer watching the fairytale Barbie lmao, but I know that it must have been sooo much better than this.
@@charlesruteal9062 , yeah... I always felt like that episode was a missed potential, to be honest. I mean, could you imagine if after getting no answers corrected during the game, the final question Skipper asks is something extremely hard to answer, that nobody, but for some reason Raquelle unintentionally answers correctly? It would go to show that despite how she feels about Barbie, Raquelle does, deep down, care about her to know the one thing that means a lot. Giving Raquelle a bit of growth and showing how her antagonism of Barbie is what will lead to her downfall. Have the two have a heart-to-heart in the conclusion of one of the seasons finally making peace with each other, Raquelle putting their differences aside, seeing that fighting Barbie is pointless. Heck, even throw in a poignant, "The things we could have been together.", from either Barbie or Raquelle, with Raquelle looking at herself when either hearing/saying that.
@@osmanyousif7849 Yeah, that would've been heartwarming. I don't think they wanted the villains (as in Raquelle and Ryan) to have much depth, so the writers made them incurably narcissistic. As it stands, that episode's plot is one-note, with the humor carrying it through. But it was the episode where I realized how hilarious Raquelle is (shoutout to the line right after Barbie spells out the moral), so I have a soft spot for it. That, and it ends with a (comedic) win for Ken, as he's the one who answers the question no one can answer. Also, the show has amazing visual gags throughout. I love how they play with the concept of everyone living in a toy world, even if it's not often in the focus (Raquelle using nail polish that's bigger than her torso comes to mind, alomg with Barbie shipping her clothes to sell them).
The mix of your extensive historical knowledge and hilarious take on this shite fil-lim is *chef’s kiss*!! Clever people are genuinely the most amusing. More please!! I’m glad I found you, new sub for sure! Xx
I have no idea if Margot Robbie is lying, but she seems to believe that this movie is a parody due to the outrageously mask-off approach to its political messaging.
Thing is, it's not possible to parody feminism; many level-headed people don't realize that the most bat-shit crazy takes from feminists are still 100% serious, and even if more "normal" feminists don't agree, they also will never call them out for being insane bigots, they will just say "There are many schools of feminism, we think differently, but we are all united in opposing patriarchy!" and then refuse to say anything further on the matter. I've seen many people make the same remarks about the movie, like "No one ACTUALLY thinks this!" and it's like, yes, yes they do.
@Frieza-yg4zpI was in a 4 hour discord chat last night and one of the speakers says he cant understand why this film is getting hated as it doesnt come off anti men to him
@@DespotofAntrim Just out of curiosity do you have a background in this field? Or do you just use historic conflicts as analogys for the current culture war? The cleopatra Video was full of historic corrections
The only people that expect women to always be extraordinary are femenists. You see it all the time in commercials, movies, tv shows, and music. Women are always perfect, they are always strong and powerful, and they are always smart and successful. So whenever a woman complains about feeling like she has to live up to impossible standards, you can tell them to thank feminism for that.
Which.. would probably make her feel more isolated? If it's a radical loud feminist saying it that makes sense but every woman?? Majority of which are generally fine with how things are?
@@Cardinal_claw yes. That's exactly what I said. The feminists are the ones doing this. It was right there in the very beginning of my original comment.
Honestly, we as men, should overall in society coalesce a movement of men to turn to our better halves to start laying the bricks, managing the plants, mending the roads, building the houses, cleaning the pipes, and carrying the boats. I truly would love to see how long the lights stay on if we bring Barbie land to real life.
It’s so poorly written that I actually couldn’t understand if she was for women or against women!… Btw, new favourite channel! Awesomeness personified! Thank you!❤
I love that the closed caption thinks you're saying pyre. Never change Despot, fight the pyre!! On a serious note, I LOVE your vids, especially the history lesson intro to every video.
The elephant in the room that is -Doctor- Troon Barbie. So the message is: completely removing the masculinity of a man through chemicals and surgery is not only acceptable, but Troon Kens would have more power (and their own dreamhouse!) than an unaltered Ken.🤔 Someone had to say it.
I've seen a lot of animated Barbie movies and shows with my girls. Barbie is pretty, smart, kind, resourceful, and will rise to the challenge under difficult circumstances. Usually the adversary is a power hungry evil woman, often with some magical powers. None of them have a "oh it's so hard to be a woman" rant that went on and on and sucked all the energy out of the film. Otherwise I thought the movie was colorful, creative, and funny. The exploration of how the Ken's feel at being so peripheral in Barbie world was fun. They are peripheral, it's Barbie world after all. I think a lot of the reviewers are making way too much of this movies though.
Hey, that intro was spot on, I'm surprised westerners know about the battle. It took us 250 years to overcome the Mongol yoke, but we did it. So there is still hope for good cinema.
What i don't like about ideologies is that there is no individuality. all men are the same, all men have the same experience and all men are privileged and all that, while all women are oppressed and whatever other nonsense they preach. The human experience is individual and that's why no ideology will ever be right.
Oh absolutely, that's the problem with intersectionality and critical theory of any kind. It by necessity put people into groups based on skin deep characteristics and says you MUST be a part of this group, and you have no individuality nor individual story. This group has a role, and this is now your role. and whatever you do affects the group, so you MUST act as part of this group and follow those rules. And this group can never actually break its status, because then we have no argument anymore. A woman can never NOT be a victim, because if she isn't, the feminists has no cause nor any argument why they should have special treatment.
Divide and conquer. Whatever divide and conquer tactic is pushed by those in power, must therefore be false, as it is merely a tactic. This would include men vs. Women, white vs. Black, gays vs. Straights, trans vs. Cis, etc. Whatever divisions are not allowed to be discussed must be the actual reality. So just ask yourself, what can we not talk about?
You are absolutely right dude, every case is individual. To believe all men are privileged is beyond dumb, and all women are victims off of the sheer fact they're a woman their life must be hard? Life is hard for everyone in different ways on different levels, but gender is only a small determining factor. Your background, your country, your race, your economic status, all of that can determine your quality of life, but gender alone? That's ridiculous
To determine what people are based off of things out of their control has some effect on them but what they do for the betterment of others and themself can be said and have positive effects
I tried to warn my coworker about this movie but she still intends to watch it because "it's satire and you're not supposed to take it seriously"-- you know, the usual BS free pass idiot audience members give that allows this trash to exist in the first place. Even after I told her it goes against everything that Barbie really is, she's just so blinded by what I assume she perceives as "brand loyalty" that I have no doubt it will all fly over her head. I'm doing myself a favor and sticking with the classic Barbie films.
It is satire! 😇 The plight of the Kens is designed to be an exaggerated version of what happens to women who are treated as accessories... but the film is also self-aware enough that it says in as many words that the real world isn't that sexist... which is why there is literally a scene where Ken gets schooled that in the real world, being a man doesn't entitle him to be a doctor unless he is actually qualified and a woman who is qualified CAN be a doctor or anything else. I'm not doing it justice because its really funny but it deliberately rebutts the idea that being a man is a cheatcode for life. Likewise, the character of Sasha (the hateful girl who calls Barbie a "fascist" is SUPPOSED to be off-base. She's a satire of a certain type of angry gender-Maoist who is literally so stupid and woke that she berates her own white father for daring to speak Spanish, a language that literally comes from Europe in the first place. If you watch the movie, I think that you may actually get it.
@@themostbestwizardpeople who have never watched a Barbie animated movie or show before won't get it. One part of the movie that was really bad though was the long "it's so hard to be a woman" rant. That is not part of Barbie's outlook at all.
@@themostbestwizardas for the Ken's, in the animated world most of the males are peripheral. That's ok, it's Barbie world. This movie gave them a chance to say how they feel about it, and it was funny to me.
@@themostbestwizardIt's not satire, the writer-director has multiple quotes contradicting this claim. Most damning that she regarded the angry teenager calling Barbie a fascist as having "well articulated and correct arguments from a smart character against Barbie." Little Platoon's video on the film has a section covering the claim. At best the film's a parody.
One of the best analyses of this film I have seen. Not only do you hit so many of my own talking points, but you come up with quite a few that I missed because at some point I just checked out of this film. Great work, mate.
Women can do anything, yea well, the first all female space walk was a group of female Astronaut having to fix something outside in space. One of the women accidentally kicked the tool bag and its not set to come through the atmosphere in March or April
Despot is again spot on. However we must admit the movie has been wildly popular with good word of mouth. I believe there are several reasons why. 1. The initial marketing, as Despot explained, downplayed the radical political views, and played on legitimate nostalgia among women for the toy Barbie. 2. Women are hungry for a movie that isn't a rom-com aimed squarely at them - that they can make "theirs". Thus, Barbie has become an event that you dress up for and go to see with your buds. 3. The film is actually well made, with beautiful colors and sets, elaborate wardrobe and practical effects. 4. The main characters are good looking and not androgynous ciphers - people like to see good looking feminine and masculine actors on the big screen. 5. The political messaging is so on the nose, so ludicrously exaggerated, and the Ken's so obviously oppressed, that, perhaps, it comes off as farce.
To be honest, every person ive heard say they liked it were men. 3 of my male coworkers liked, and two of my male friends said it was pretty good compared to what they expected. Two of them even bought Kenough merch. Meanwhile ive only met like 2 girls who actually liked it, despite knowing more females than males who saw it. It seems like a case of someone trying to be so woke they accidently gave men another power fantasy movie that isnt super depressing thru the inadvertent/unaware use of toxic feminity.
For the record, I like the thick, Irish accent. Between the Despot and Critical Drinker, the accents are one of the things that make these videos fun to listen to! Also, shout out to Metatron, who's Italian accent help make HIS videos fun, as well!!
@@GunnerRDS there's even a few different accents between us in NI. Despot obviously is from Country Antrim while us up in County Londonderry vastly different.
@@basedelon Yep, all you have to do is drive half an hour up the road for a completely different cadence and timbre of speech. Same in the South I imagine; Cork/Dublin/Galway all very very different.
i love barbie. i see it as a self own. it shows how feminism is oppressive towards men and at the end after feminism takes down the ken paradise , babie becomes a single working girl full of uncertainty.
@@plbentoncommunism, really. Not even in this movie, but In alot of other movies. All this shit about “capitalism bad” or whatever can only be said in this country, can’t say that in china, a communist country. Notice how things like trashing your own country on tv or TH-cam or something only exists in this country. Same with feminism.
All esg-aligned ideas are evil. Civilization spend thousands of years to get better solutions but now these inefficient and outright bad ideas are forcefully inserted back
There is nothing better on Monday morning than an hour long video from Despot! We have a +30C in Moscow, so my brain doesn't function properly, so I will go to my lunch break earlier and enjoy the newest video from one of my favorite TH-camrs! Thank you for making my day better!

The “I can hold both logic and feelings at the same time” line should not be interpreted as anything other than leftist seething about the Ben Shapiro meme. Any time this line is written in movies, that’s the only thought behind it.

46:07 A book on why men rule next to two books on cars, two books on military matters with a book on history's greatest baseball games thrown in the middle? Who's organizing this library?
food for thought and I really HOPE anybody reading is paying attention...... there are some prisons in the United States where exercising is banned and prohibited.... If the guards catch you doing ANY FORM of it you are told to stop and if it continues you're put into administrative segregation i.e. The Hole..... Now ask yourself, why would any prison want to STOP the Inmates from Getting *Stronger????* if you understand that question then you definitely understand one of the KEY VILE Statements this movie has sent out into the world... see this trash for what it is which is a VERY Successful Military Operation targeted at THE RIGHT Audience..... a movie like this IS the VISION of the Globalist to imprison us all into a servile matrix of drugs debauchery and just pure bulsht as we struggle to live on the edge of death NOT OWNING Anything and PRETENDING that we like it.... while also eating crackers w/roach paste..... this movie is our FUTURE and we MUST RESIST THIS!!!!!!
I'm actually amazed at the lack of cute-looking neon-colored bugs in Barbieworld's menus. I guess woke directors can't wrap their heads around more than one issue at the time, even though they're self-owning themselves in said issue...
Let's not forget that during Event 2020 they also made sure people didn't exercise, didn't catch sun or did anything to improve their immune system so they had a better chance at beating a certain thing.
The point that most perfectly encapsulates the failure of Barbie as a movie is when barbie calls the old woman at the bus stop beautiful, and instead of accepting the compliment like a regular person, says something insipid like "gurl I know it"
The movie made over a billion dollars. It's not a failure and it doesn't deserve to be. The Woman King was trash and it failed. Barbie is actually very self-aware. I didn't like the message about how it was OK to be single (it's not) but it wasn't a woke garbage fire.
@@bluelunarmonkeytarot8533 Barbie and Ken are a couple. Movies used to end with families and relationships becoming stronger. Now however, every other movie is de-population corpo propaganda designed to brainwash you into thinking that devoting your life to a corporation and eventually dying alone (possibly as a result of "euthanasia" like in Canada) is the best way to live... for you of course. The owner-class still intend to fly private and have kids.
I absolutely love your reviews! They're a mix of history, politics, film, art and many more things, which makes the reviews top notch! Keep up the amazing work 👏
Wow, im new to this channel, but this is one the greatest channels I have ever seen. You are one of the greats, along side Mauler, Little Platoon, Critical Drinker and Dave Cullen. Bravo Despot! Bravo!
I haven't finished watching this video, but I want to say this first: I read an article of America Ferrera gloating about her speech needing 50 takes and the crew cried listening to her speech. Assuming that the crew cried because it touched their hearts, but I thought the crew cried because they were happy it was finally over, 50 takes must have been such a torture lmao. And kudos for mentioning Spectre. I'm still salty about them rejecting it. Edit: America Ferrera gloated about the monologue not only took 30-50 takes, but also took TWO freaking DAYS. TWO DAYS. No wonder the crew cried.
Only a special type of actress who when taking "50 takes" to get her 'monologue' correct would believe the other cast & crew to tears was because of her passion and heartfelt message.....and nothing else !? #WOKE #BARBIE
That incoherent rant would make anyone cry tears of boredom. I have seen plenty of TH-cam comments from women saying it made them cry; feeling over logic.
Let's just make three realms: The masculine, the complimentary feminine, and the adversarial feminine. The wall off the third from the other two. Let them make themselves miserable and leave everyone else out of it.
That's the sequel. Barbie goes to G.I. Joe land and fixes it... Like it was fixed in the real world making their comic books so wonderful with the diversity and inclusion and then wondered why the sales of those comics tanked.
The angry boot neck today in his live stream mentioned that you were his favorite movie reviewer. I decided to come and check your channel out and you are awesome!! I absolutely loved your coverage of this movie from beginning to end and all of the references to the vapidness of feminism and all it's piss poor disgustingness. Your political references were spot on and they were just amazing! I have rarely been so thrilled to sub to a channel and I can't wait to see your back video archive and look forward to the ones you do in the future as well. Thank you so much for presenting the unfortunate truth of our current society and making it entertaining instead of depressing.
Sometimes, i reflect upon the Lego movies, which the franchise was marketed towards boys had great social messages and was a universally loved film series.
its honestly concerning that Amy Schumer turned down the lead role because she didn't think it was feminist enough. by the end all the men might of been sent to work camps and be forced too wear shock collars.
I doubt that's what really happened. The studio probably realized it would be harder to market the movie with her as the lead. People are already aware that she is a hard core woke feminist.
This is why no real problems ever get solved in our society; children's toys can spark ridiculous controversy, and we literally get canceled if we voice concern over obesity.
Just finished the video on 1.5x speed while feeding and changing my baby, as a man. Much patriarchy. This video is excellent but I have tow points I feel are worth raising: 1) I absolutely cannot wait until this film gets a home release. I am willing to bet money that within one month, there will be multiple "fan" edits that even further cement that Ken is the hero of the film and Barbie the villain. I may or may not be one of the people making that edit 2) The screed. The rant about "Barbie's" role as a woman strikes me really as a rant about "barbie" not knowing her place or station in the world and society. And I can't help but think that all of the problems that she has such as women having to be careerists and mothers at the same time is a self inflicted wound created by feminism itself. My wife, who is a Doctor herself for what it is worth, was quick to point out about her experience when we were watching reviews of the Barbie movie that never ever at any point ever has it been men that she has seen judging women about their life and career choices, only other women.
Not sure why you brought up "feeding" and "changing" your kid, which is just cringe, or stating that your wife is a doctor, but man dude you really should just get to your unintelligible points, instead of coming off like a joke, which is what you are. It's embarassing, unmanly, and just sad, man.
I wouldn't even watch this movie for free, but I'd watch a Ken edit. Also, IRL men not judging women for their life choices is one of the reasons why they make such poor ones.
Good point #2. And as an ominous warning, I'm sure the government is eager to offer up a solution for women's dilema: "We, your benevolent Government, will undertake the onerous burden of raising your children, since it interferes with your rise to top of the corporate ladder." Women seem to think that every one of them will get to be a girlboss or something. It's almost painful to think of them discovering, as men do, that those top spots too often go, not to the worthy, but the most amoral, vicious and manipulative among us. Painful, but also funny.
@@Trollificusv2do people forget that some women are genuinely POOR and need a job? Do you think factory workers are there to be boss babes? You don’t think that maybe just maaaaybe they need to be working to make some income to feed their kids or idk be able to afford rent? What about widows? What about women who’s husbands became disabled after a workplace accidents? Or just women who must work because one income isn’t enough? I don’t understand this recent colleration that any woman who had a job is some kind of boss babe who hates nuclear family and is out there to destroy it? Some people need to eat? Wtf
@@Bijoux4you ?? Sorry for the misunderstanding. I wasn't talking about the REALITY of women's lives, I was talking about what is promoted to them in media and from feminists. And from them, all you ever hear about is "empowerment" and "being you best self" when, as you point out, most women are in the work force to keep a roof over their heads, sometimes over their childrens' heads, or even to add income to their husbands' to create a better life. I don't think those women are much considered when we get "grrrl powrr" propaganda.
You are a treasure Despot, thank you for calling this stuff out and for not trying to sugarcoat it as some critics have. You are the best film reviewer on youtube. This movie is so hateful. I recall at the start of the film being taken back by barbie saying to ken "I dont want you here" when he wants to hang out with her. It is such an odd line. Rather than being simply oblivious to ken this line implies pure disdain for him and how he might feel when told that. That is psychopathic levels of lack of empathy. Even at the end when using the iconic barbie song they use a terrible remix version and they cut the male singer completely out. Telling women they are garbage if they are not a CEO makes 99.99% of women feel like garbage. Having these little girls at the start smashing babies ffs and the idea of motherhood and family in exchange for this ego driven, shallow swimsuit barbie image. Even saying that motherhood gets old quickly "just ask your mother". So your mother hates you it is saying lol. These things this woman complains about about not being able to be mean or rude. Why would you want to be these things? You are complaining you cannot abuse people without social consequence? What psychopath wrote this?
Barbie Land actually sounds like a dystopian hellscape but pink. All the power is concentrated in one demographic who will not stand for any disruption of their power and who will gaslight and manipulate anyone to keep their power. When you understand the motive, no matter how often the goal posts move or how many strawmen are erected, it’s all about power dynamics. It’s not about principles or justice or equality or equity. It’s always about the consolidation of power.
It's the definition of unearned power, utterly undeserving, and unlikable, and it's been lapped up because of the pink. I thought I was going crazy in the cinema because they weren't delivering a plot, they just kept whining and saying patriarchy. Perhaps it appeals to the reality TV generation?
A new synopsis for the Barbie movie, which in my mind I have now renamed Ken's Journey; "A story of a man trapped not just in a misandrist, profoundly unjust Matriarchal dystopia, but also in a relationship with a manipulative, narcissistic, borderline psychotic abuser. It all seems so bleak, and yet this man, so downtrodden, mocked and marginalised, sees a glimpse into another way of life. He sees what an equal society could be, and finds the inner strength to defy the culture which victimised him, and the woman who rejected his love and abused his good character, to break free and take back control of his life. Inspiring, uplifting, life-affirming - Ken is a new kind of hero for 2023. He is... Kenough!" I love it when fanatics go so far off the deep end that they accidentally highlight all the glaring flaws in their own delusional beliefs, and it seems Barbie has emerged as pretty much the Mount Everest of self-owns.
You don't understand. The plight of the Kens is literally meant to be an exaggerated version of what women go through when they aren't taken seriously. It's an exaggeration and the movie knows that (which is why they point out that in the real world, women can be doctors and men don't get to be unless they are actually qualified) but it's meant to make a point that sexism is wrong; NOT that it should be reversed. Even the part about how Ken needs to learn to be "Kenough" is meant to be an inversion of the "I'm enough" thing that is supposed to liberate women from seeing themselves as valuable only if they are part of a family.
@@themostbestwizard Actually I did get that. It's just that it wasn't as clever as the movie thought it was. So sick of people thinking that the movie is deep. It's about as deep as a birdbath and "THE MESSAGE" hits you like a sledgehammer to the face. Terrible movie.
If someone complains that Barbieworld is "misandrist" then they clearly do NOT get it. Complaining that the dystopia that is meant to be an exaggerated analogue for a bad thing that happens in real life isn't nice to men is like reading 1984 and complaining that it is authoritarian.
You nailed it. This was a grotesque watch. This is the most transed, anti-straight, anti-nuclear family propaganda piece I've ever seen. There is no shred of passion or romance in here. Not one frame sincerely depicting a man and a woman getting along - they're always turned against each other. Ken is very blatantly set up to be Barbie's foe - the toxic man standing in the way, who apologizes by the end and admits he didn't even know what he was pushing for. If the narrative has a bad guy, it's all men in the world added up to one - one problem. A problem that needed to be "fixed", going by the dialogue of the film. Any kind of passionate writing in a modern narrative where men and women end up on the same page at the end is deemed toxic and dangerous in 2023. Notice how the actual ending of Barbie hammers its anti-straight, pro-trans message home by saying that anyone can be a woman - even a doll with nothing down there (a detail that is fully established within the narrative) can carve out the right looking parts and that's all there is to it. Before you get to leave, Mattel's multi-million dollar motion picture Barbie smacks you and your family in the face with these words: "TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN!"
They dont want equality, they want men in chains. The most disturbing part is that my mother, sister and her friends all went to see the movie and loved it.
Because it’s not about putting men in chains. The people who hate Barbie very clearly do not understand it. The guy who made this video probably didn’t even watch the movie, and just watched Ben Shapiro’s take on it. How watch an actual analysis of the movie and tell me it hates men afterwards
@@marbellaotaiza801 yes but this isn’t forming an opinion, it’s just misunderstanding the movie. The point of the movie isn’t to hate men, it is meant to represent the opposite of our world. Barbie land is essentially a polar opposite of our world in terms of hierarchy. It is also an exaggerated version. It’s not saying “men suck”, it is simply commenting on the power structure. The fact that you didn’t get that and immediately thought “it hates men” really says a lot about who you are as a person
@@conorlynch8876 TLDR if you really think Barbie is a polar opposite to our world, then you didn't watch Despot's analysis. And you're more than a little brainwashed. And Barbie world is flat, so it has no poles, so it can't be a polar opposite of anything. lol you really got rekt on this one...
The critical thinking, expert logic, and effective illustrations and arguments - exquisite! I didn't want to see the Barbie movie almost skipped this review, but very please I watched it! Well done, benevolent, despot.
One thing I have to say about this movie and its future though... This was lightning in a bottle. It came out at the right time, where everything else is so incredibly boring. People are just desperate to have some fun, and the marketing made this look legit just fun and a relaxed time. Now WB is busy greenlighting a ton of stuff to recapture this, including a Polly Pocket movie directed by Lena Dunham, and a Barney movie as an adult comedy.... None of these movies are going to earn money. This is not going to happen again. They will chase the buzz of Barbie endlessly and loose an incredible amount of money. they will probably make a Barbie sequel with a higher budget, around 200 mio dollars, but only earn 500-600 mio on the sequel, which isn't bad, but will be diminishing returns. Of course, all of this assumes that Hollywood will still exist in a year which is not a guarantee. WB had this ONE box office hit in a year where everything else failed horribly, they are all big money pits where money goes to vanish and has been for a long time, so now it's finally just headed for collapse, which made the actors and writers panic, why they are not striking to ensure job security... Job security in a failing market where they need to cut so much stuff just to stay above water and cut down in budget on everything. The giga structure that could protect these things and push them forward is crumbling, it has been for a long time, but we are at a critical point, and it is entirely possible it is all just going to fall down and collapse within a year. Giving the perfect opportunity for alternative sources of media and entertainment to step in and pick up the slack, Anime, k-Drama, TH-camrs, and independent studios such as Angel Studios are there and ready for their moment. And while they are not as huge as Hollywood, they have a solid foundation making them so much more robust. So yeah... While this Barbie movie maybe saved WB from its immediate collapse, the aftermath of chasing this buzz is assured to bring them a slower more desperate collapse in the coming years.
The feedback i get i that a lot of the people who went and watched this movie really didn't like it. Mostly women, went out for a girl's night out because it was a Barbie movie after all and they liked the trailer. But left not liking the movie with the exception of hardcore feminists that agree with the message. They can't trick people twice with this. If there's a sequel, it will fail because most people who saw this one aren't looking forward to another and won't be fooled by the trailer again.
Lena Dunham is the one who wrote about molesting her little sister when she was young in her autobiography, isn't she? It's weird how her and Biden have that sort of thing on paper and yet remain unpunished.
Absolutely. I thought from the marketing that it was going to be a fun romp. Instead, this is probably one of the most offensive things I have ever seen and a lot of women I have spoken to agree. We won't be making the mistake of seeing another one of these
@@laredouter4792 Also of course, Hollywood learned all the wrong messages from this. This dumbass director came out and said. "This just proves we need more movies with female leads!" And I am just like... where the FUCK have you been the last five years? EVERY movie has a female lead right now! All of them. All the shows have female leads. And they ALL have the same, intolerable, feminist message of strong independent woman who is BETTER than all the men and doesn't need anyone else than herself, and she's perfect the way she is and should never have to change, and it's the MEN who has to realize she's perfect and they should feel so honored to merely be in her glorious presence. All the while the woman is acting like an angry and entitled DICK! I am so sick of it... I'm a woman and I am sick of it.... There's a reason why most things I watch right now is anime and Korean horror. Cause it's... You know... Good. And has other things to tell, more interesting things, and dares to have fun and stuff.
Lol. My sister-in-law's fiance wanted to take her to this movie because the entire time he thought it was going to be a romcom and thought it would be a cute and fun date night. My sister-in-law thought so, too, until they saw it. She told me yesterday about how I wouldn't like it. Oh I knew. But it was hilarious because she looked genuinely peeved about it. 😂😂😂
I sometimes forget that the NPCs like your sister in law and her fiance are numerous and the majority of the population. How he saw the trailers and thought this was going to be a romcom, I will never know. Oh well... atleast they both learnt their lessons
@@savioblanc They definitely did, but dude wtf. The marketing for this movie literally hid the fact that this garbage is a propaganda machine. They're not npc's. They hate sjxt like that. Their woke radars are just not as strong as mine.
@@-ninjanOodlez I stand by my statement. Margot Robbie's film trajectory has been into woke feminism b.s. for a while now but she gets a pass from most men because she's hot af and she doesn't spout asinine anti-Male statements on Twitter. We know Amy Schumer was attached to the Barbie project prior to Margot Robbie helming the movie. Greta Gerwig, the director, is known for her "empowering" feminist films. This is what I meant - all the signs were there but the average person isn't going to be aware of these signs. The marketing was brilliant but if people were paying attention, the fact that there was a transwoman appearing as a Barbie should have spiked on their radars, the opening scene of baby dolls being smashed by little girls should have been a major fkin clue something wasn't right about this film. There were numerous clues but an NPC was never gonna see it
@@savioblanc No I agree with you, but them not knowing anything doesn't make them an npc. Again: they stand against every message this movie tries to convey. They're just not as politically aware of the climate in pedo-wood and just wanted to see a movie over the weekend. They didn't watch any trailers for this movie. They know nothing about margot, or greta, or schumer like we do. He saw Barbie, he saw pink, he thought "hey maybe my girl would like to watch this with me." Again: I agree with you, but not everyone has time for politics, my dude. They're those who exist outside this political garbage and just wanna live their lives, and that's okay.
A funny take on the catcalling constructionworker trope was in King of Queens, where she felt empowered and young again BECAUSE they catcalled her. I bet almost every woman would like it (if tasteful of course) and only rich Hollywood women seem to hate it.
there is a female journalist for the guardian that made an article a decade or so ago complaining about the scourge of catcalls she got after me too (and she got older) she made an article complaining about how she misses catcalls despite hating them before ironic
I find it interesting that ken returned to Barbie land with an idea and NOT a device for mind control/brainwashing so the barbies were just as fully aware of their decisions as the kens. So it was barbie who brainwashed/mind controlled the rest of the Barbies: proof of who is the true villain is
Imagine being an actual mother or prengent woman seeing this movie and the way it portrays you, and seeing the trans barbie get more repsect and representation. Its why TURFs are a thing.
I'm reminded of a study done on tipping, things waitresses do nominally to get big tips from men, cleavage, good make up, ect get a bigger tip from men the first time. After the first meeting men gave tips based on friendliness. From women it got a bigger tip everytime. The waitresses friendliness was irrelevant.
Can I just say that I absolutely love all the American Psycho clips that have been so masterfully implemented in this video? Three cheers for the patriarchy!
Construction workers. I've spent the last 15 years living around contructions areas. Houses, condos. Construction areas are surrounded by fences, with heavy machinery and truck moving around. They are filthy dangerous places where men work. You never see any women around these filthy dusty/muddy areas and sane people avoid them. I've never seen construction workers heckling women. There are no women to heckle and they have better things to do.
My wife is a 93 pound russian ballerina. She fully impresses her natural Feminine rolls as a wife and a fantastic mother. We are in the United States right now and other women criticize her for being a stay at home mom. She reminds them that when they grow old with no man or family the only souls that will be around are their cats. Once the sad lonley women die the cats that love their boss babe so much will show their respect by eating the women's eyes out of her cold stiff corpse.
@@fitnessbearsmirnov17 I don't keep animals of any kind. I'm pointing out your need to state those specifics that have nothing to do with your wife's character, including her underweight body. Is she child size? Who is "us"? LOL. You're insecure and need your wife's looks as a crutch. Your wife, and the people who criticise her are two opposite extremes of idiot. They criticise her for being stay at home, they're pathetic. She retorts with baseless nonsense, as though those are the only options. Also, people drop dead everyday. A marriage does not guarantee anyone escape from loneliness. It's just luck. Pray you're alive to keep her safe and away from cats.
Once again, the most well articulated and concisely explained video since the last Despot release. I really enjoy these fact based videos. Again.....kudos!
I’m a construction worker and I agree with you I have no power all I do is live in a trailer I’m not rich I’m not invited to any expensive parties. I just go to work. Do my job and come home

To be honest, the teenage girl dumbly rambling about communist and feminist talking points is probably the most realistic part of this movie.
Yeah you’re not wrong about that, got a sister who talks that feminist crap too XD.
Yes. You almost underdsand the movie
She is more of a NPC than the actual doll she's talking to lol
that's the point! she's a preteen talking about things she knows nothing about, it's on purpose.
Nah, that is their college girl stage
A personal sore spot is the construction workers:
My dad has worked many jobs of a similar nature, toiling for endless hours to provide enough for my mom, siblings, and I.
My dad has been a hard laborer his entire life, and I've always held immense respect and love for him as his daughter for that.
The arrogance of Hollywood is pitiful.
I'm so sorry. For me, the sore spot was them complaining about being “thin but not too thin”. I live in the South and have seen what the obesity epidemic does to people. So watching the movie disregard society promoting being a healthier size upset me, especially when the USA is the fattest nation.
Hollywood hates working class folks. They are evil
@@newhappythoughts1628 after the mom says about being healty
I very much agree I work similar thankless hard jobs to pay my way through college and to know the contempt and lack of understanding they have in Hollywood for the average working man makes me irate. We work very long hours doing backbreaking labor for not nearly enough pay most of the guys I work with will be stuck there or jobs like it for the rest of their lives because in our society that’s their “place”. It’s no small wonder the male suicide rate is so high. People wonder why men feel isolated and hopeless it’s because for many of us we are. The types of people who make these productions will not understand until the infrastructure they depend upon starts collapsing when enough men take the comfort of a grave over the pain of life.
Im sure your dad was a fine man. The trope of a construction worker shouting sexist comments to women is nothing more than an old comedy stereotype. Although it's long established and shorthand for a certain type of bad behavior I don't think anyone really believes all construction workers behave like this. It's a cartoon style joke that belongs in this movie because it ia also a ridiculous cartoon like parody. Lighten up. You are the only person offended by this. The movie was not a personal attack on your father. It's an old trope that helps writers set up punchlines and nothing more. Hollywood is pitiful? wow.
They took an innocent Kid's toy and turned her into a cruel tyrant, made Ken, a typically forgotten accessory the underdog of this oppression and now everyone online is team Ken and hates Barbie. Wtf is this madness. It's fascinating.
She's not a cruel tyrant. She cares for other people. There are so many male characters in media who do worse and are loved for it if anything.
What I find most impressive is how oblivious these "woke" writers are that they consistently and unintentionally make villains out of whom they intend to be the heroes, and heroes out of whomever they intend to be villains... And while the trend is stronger now they were doing it back in the 90's too. They must have lost all touch with reality.
@@jacobrickayzen2744in what way does she care for anyone that doesn't benefit herself personally?
define 'woke'. And I'll say it again - Barbie is not a villain of the story she is a flawed heroine. People always accept flaws in male main characters, such as Bojack Horseman, Eric Cartman, Peter Griffin, Homer Simpson, Sterling Archer, etc.@@vidard9863
She holds a party for her friends to have fun at? She has a meaningful conversation at the end with Ken to make him feel better even though he doesn't deserve it as he literally stole her house. She unbrainwashes her friends when they have been brainwashed into thinking they deserve less than they do.@@vidard9863
As an anecdote from an all-female workplace, I used to work part time at a research lab where all of the staff except me were women. Everyone of them talked shit about each other behind their backs, and especially of the research head who in turn treated her underlings like an absolute tyrant. I was present in one occasion where she ran into the darkroom where a girl had been measuring the breathing of bean weevils for the last 18 hours without sleep. She didn't notice me because we had partitioned the room and I was on the other side hidden from the door. She started screeching how the measuring results were garbage, how the girl is a worthless piece of shit and is actively trying to ruin her project. It went way beyond just reprimanding an employee. Also slammed the door as hard as she could for a finish. As soon as she was gone the girl cried for like 15 minutes straight and said this happened all the time. I told her maybe she should look for a project from another department, and lo and behold the next day she'd quit and the research head was crawling all over the walls panicking because now she had nobody to take the measurements 18 hours straight in a darkroom. Local man ruins everything, and I don't regret it. By the way everybody treated me like a king and I got a big box of chocolates from the research head at the end of my stint.
Later in life I've ran into a lot of women who have worked in women-only environments and all of them have said those places desperately need men around in the mix to prevent the infighting and tyranny.
I worked in a (mostly) female GP surgery and I was bullied out of that job after only two months. The amount of backstabbing that went on when I wasn't working was insane- they decided I wasn't in their clique and turned on me within about a day. Absolutely awful
that's sad. the only place with all women I worked at which was conflict free, was a research lab. it was nice and calm, the head researcher was very thoughtful and considerate. There was this problematic girl but even that wasn't an issue since the other ladies didn't play into her toxicity. But I do agree, most women at workplaces can become like this, they (or, we) are conflicting and backstabbers. They'll be the ones who judge you, envy you, betray you, be hypocrites to... I much rather be around men,,they're more straightforward and relaxed.
Sounds like sometimes all women need for this feminist uptopia bs to crumble is a little dose of reality.
I never worked in a women olny place, so I can't exactly say anything about that kind of situation. Altough so far in all of my jobs majority of workers are women. While it's true that some of them afe rather ficle with who is their bestie of the month, I consider most of them rather good co-workers. With the exception of two of the laziest people I've met so far - one of them was a woman, the other a man. I must admit though that my previous boss was the most viscious woman I've ever met. The kind that kindly smiles at you while stabbing you in the back multiple times. She was tormenting her employees and after a few months almost ten people resigned because of a break down or simply because they couldn't stand her. She was the single worst boss I had so far and I had a few. Most of them were men and they were descent or good people and easy to work with. The lady I mentioned before was the opposite. While I do belive there are a lot of competent women easy to work with I also admit that most of them are not in the highest position. From my experience women who want power are often willing to sacrifice others to achive their goal. That's why with my current work experience I prefer if my boss is a man. Not to mention that women sometimes take forever to make a decision. A worst type of boss is one who can't make his or her mind. And I am a woman myself, so I know what I'm taking about - at least where indecision is a factor 🙂
It is simple: "The sisterhood does not exist"
Women are rivals, if they want it or not.
Apparently during the rollerblade scene Margot Robbie was mad that people came up and talked to Ken, joked with him, told him how good he looked, took pictures with him and were super friendly, while guys looked at her, but didn’t come up to try and talk to her. How mad would she be if a bunch of guys came up hugging her and asking for pictures and telling her how good she looked??
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. I believe it was the director that used that example as the proof of patriarchy. Let’s not forget the nonstop mainstream message is all men are rapists just waiting to happen and what the #metoo movement did. All feminists fault.
It was the director, Greta Gerwig, who commented on that. Margot herself didn't say anything on the matter.
Because in 2023, even if you're a tweaked-out meth head sleeping on the street in Venice Beach, you know damn well that you don't ever approach Margot Robbie and talk with her. Under any circumstances.
She'd just grin and act friendly while scheming to take their net worth in a metoo fueled lawsuit.

Also, Will Ferrell calls Barbie a Jezebel. She was the wife of King Ahab, and she used false rumour to take out her enemies. Barbie takes back Barbieland by setting the Kens against each other.

Crap, I can’t remember the title, but it is at least the third!
Ryan Gosling carrying the entirety of the movie on his back. Just classic Ken W.
Also, from what I've read, Greta Gerwig depicts a caricature of the world as it was thought of 70 to a 100 years ago. Greta Gerwig is 40. She never even knew the world she depicts in her film. Even if we're generous in saying that her film tries to create empathy for women in men by reversing the roles... Things haven't been close to being like this in 100 years. If her social commentary is "look at how women have it hard", she's 100 years too late. Not only has this message been regurgitated over and over again in all media possible over the last 80 years, but it fails to account for today's challenges. She completely lacks understanding of the male psyche and modern men's issues. In targeting an adult audience (more precisely, people her age and older), she also selects the wrong audience for a political commentary. People her age and older already have ossified beliefs that are REALLY hard to change and adapt. As far as women are concerned, she fails to address what really eats away at modern women: being asked to perform like men, at the risk of denying their own femininity both in biology and in mindset, the slow realization that career is a useless rat race, defining a new paradigm for dating with the age of digitalization and its consequences,.. It would resonate with women in oppressive patriarchal structures... That is if the men allow their women to go to the movies in the first place.
Also to my point about her message being vastly outdated: we're talking about a movie primarily made, planned and conceived by strong, independent, successful women, for women. Then you'll have women point out that there hasn't been a female president yet, and the answer is obvious: culturally, we're there already. Clinton almost made it (she wouldn't have been allowed to even compete in a "man's world", see how many prominent female politicians exist in Egypt...), and even some of the most patriarchal societies in Western Europe have elected female leaders, especially (interestingly) from conservative or far-right movements.
And so rather than regurgitate that tired old tripe, she could go on about how, despite obvious progress in that department, the legal system still doesn't do justice to our collective lofty ideals. Or how the workplace is still plagued by a small, but extremely toxic minority. But they said "Nah, it'll be fine".
Worth noting further is that even the patriarchal world of yesteryear and far yonder that she imagines is modern America, is not anything like what she excoriates. This is one of the fundamental problems with all forms of feminism: their frankly insane conspiracy theory conception of patriarchy and "female subjugation." They'd have you believe that past societies where ruled by naked and brute male force and that women where seen as subhuman and basically enslaved. This description fits literally 0 societies and civilizations; *all* human societies are ruled by customs and and taboos that are primarily enforced by women, *all* human societies value the safety and sanctity of women highly and patriarchal structures exist precisely in order to ensure that. Depending on how much women can safely contribute they may have more or less overt influence; so arctic whale hunters or nomadic herders, where women simply cannot help with food gathering without risking death and kidnaping, have narrower roles for women and tropical hunter-gatherers or temperate semi-agriculturalists, where food gathering is basically 50-50, have much broader ones; but they all value and seek to protect women. In primitive and harsh societies, constantly facing famine and war, this protection may often *look* like subjugation from the outside, but only when one ignores the extreme danger and toil that the vast majority of men in such societies face.
Gerwig: "Look at me, I'm wearing a man's suit that's too big for me." She's a virtue signaling fraud like most of Hollywood these days.
My mother, who is still alive, remembers when married women could be denied credit cards in their own name.
So a thought has occurred to me. If the positions of the Ken dolls is supposed to be a comparison to what real world women go through, doesn't that mean the message of the movie is that we should remove women's rights?
According to the plot's own logic the Kens rising up against the barbies is a bad thing. But the Kens are supposed to be a representation of the oppression women face. More over its considered a happy ending when the kens are repressed. So following the internal logic of the movie leads to the idea that oppressed groups should continue to be suppressed and leave the group majority in complete control.
Logic is anathema to feminists.
Accidentally based lol
Jeeh..I wonder what happened. It's almost like anything purely emotionally fueled lacks all logic and becomes hypocritical by design as it's not based in reality at all...😂😂😂
clearly you dont know much about he movie. It states that the kens deserved rights to and the movie shows both the patriarchy and matriarchy were bad
@@tsaralexis9459The President refuses to allow a Ken as a Supreme Court Judge but will only allow less consequential positions. Doesn't sound like she learned anything.
Tell me if you relate to the following scenario: You go watch the Barbie movie with male and female friends, and when it's over you start to ask them about a plot hole or something that didn't make sense in the movie and every time without fail your female friend will say: You're just nitpicking! You don't get what the movie is really about! You're overthinking too much!
Maybe I'm alone on this one, but it's a phenomenon I witness more and more often.
My wife was bored to tears after 15 minutes and didn't care about a single character.
it's the same thing as the crpto bro's when you tell them they're being scammed... all you can really do is watch your friend or whatever get burned...they won't listen until they lose their life savings... it's really cult-like behavior... the nice thing about it is, if these women who fall into this can't fall back out, at least the evolutionary traits that caused them to be that way will die with them...
Well if it helps any.... I'm a woman and I HATE this female take over of everything I loved. I hate this. I LIKED the MCU when it was new and fun. I LIKED DC comics back in the day. And yeah... I have been nitpicking this movie apart at the seams for a while.
.... it's my mom who gets very angry and annoyed at me. my mom, 63 years old, who needs this movie to be deep and true... all though she also keeps talking about how GREAT it is she could finally go on pension and leave the work market she didn't like... and my dad is a communist too, they are both products of the 70's movement and pride themselves on being the amazing free thinkers that challenge society. (Yet believe EVERYTHING television tells them.)
So yeah... I call out the bullshit, my parents think I am really stupid for even saying it.... And the funny thing is, when i was a kid I LOVED barbie dolls. my room was pink, I had loads of Barbie dolls and I loved them. I loved the direct to VHS movies as well... this SUCKS!

When I point out the propagandandistic nature of this film people lose their minds! Its like they all have a script... The line is "did you even see the movie?!" Or something like that. They never address any of my points. They just insult me and call me stupid or an incel.
A lot of people aren't CAPABLE of critical thinking nowadays. They can only parrot what their favourite celeb says 😞
I keep hearing over and over that it’s a parody, that it’s my fault that I just don’t understand that it’s parody. Why can’t all these people who agree with you and I not see that it’s parody? The issue with that statement (besides how ridiculously condescending it is) is that if a parody cannot make its jokes clear, then it has failed to be a parody. It has failed to deliver any kind of biting or even minorly impactful commentary on the subject it parodies. So either this movie is the product of a comedically inept director not understanding how to execute a parody, or it is the result of a director not knowing how to form proper propaganda because of how contradictory her ideology is. Barbie is seen both as a feminist icon for her numerous careers, or a misogynistic icon because she’s a literal female object. Greta doesn’t seem to know whether to go the “women being objectified is sexually empowering” route or the “her sexual objectification belittles her achievements” route. Either way, her movie is not a parody of either one, or anything at all. It’s just a mess.
I really am curious if you saw the movie, though.

Hey, great news, since you made this review there HAS been an all-female space walk. Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara took part in a six hour and forty two minute space walk during which time they managed to replace hardware on the solar array of the ISS... They also managed to drop their tool-bag, which is now orbiting the earth at approximately 17,000 mph a few minutes ahead of the ISS. It has been given the designation 'space-junk' and the ID number: 58229/ 1998-067WC. It will descend into Earth's atmosphere and burn up at some point in the next few months.

P. S. The name Mstislav comes from the words 'revenge' and 'glory'. Still popular, by the way. Just a bit of trivia I thought I'd share 😊
The name Mstislav most likely had a different meaning back then, the word for revenge in modern russian is related to the prefix "mis-" in modern english, as in "misconception"
I doubt it was different, “Mscić się” means to take revenge in Polish, and zemsta is their word for revenge (ze- msta)
On a related note, the russian book “envy” was a really good read. It’s from soviet times and it’s a dark comedy about a sausage factory entrepeneur who takes in a drifter/layabout to inspire him to become a model soviet citizen. The layabout ends up ruining the benefactor’s career. Why? Envy. It’s a tale about what happens when you don’t understand the driving force of Lumpenproletarian politics- it’s the politics of envy, and the riot/theft/graffiti/robbery is not a byproduct of being Wokeist, it is the goal, which they hide under a veneer of wanting Justice.

Hey, fellow Moscovite! Wanted to write exactly the same comment, it is awesome when foreigners are interested in Russian history/culture.
Maybe you are right. But given that this name is very old (it exists in many slavic languages, including polish) and words tend to change meanings I still do not agree. My pet theory is that it means "replenish the glory". ofc I don't have any evidence, but I think it makes more sense
Can feminists stop pretending like society is the 1960s and not 2023 when women can do whatever they want while also enjoying the majority being on anti-depressants? I like how delightfully un-self-aware the "depression Barbie" ad spot was. Women in my audience, literally, audibly said "true" during that segment.
But they can only justify their existence by hanging onto an oppression that's no longer there. Bit like black people do.
The movie literally says that. There is a scene where Ken walks into a hospital and is disappointed that it isn't really a patriarchy like he had imagined (there's a women doctor and being a man doesn't earn him any privileges.)
@@themostbestwizardBut the movie did confirm that America is a patriarchy, they just hide it better. They're still pretending to be oppressed by societal expectations.
Women in the 60s were allowed to do what they want.
Same. I think it's because feminism is being taught by grandmothers that just remember their time. I experienced this with my parents or grandparents over different issues, they've seen a lot but forget that things are different. Which isn't to say they are stupid, but feminists need to stop focusing on the past and pay attention to the present. Also in post modern feminism (or fourth wave, whatever it's called), rights are a side note to correcting peoples psychology and "unconscious bias", because they are running out of things to fight for. It's also intrusive, and an unrealistic, lofty goal. Like they can't read minds.
I wouldn't hate Barbie of it did not glorify power and suggest that as many women should have it as possible, unfortunate it does, and so, I do.

I stumbled upon your comment while showing this video to a friend of mine, glad you won copyright trials.
Despot, I have a request for you, with the decline of western entertainment industry, I have seen many people move from “classical” western movies to East Asian animation (aka anime).
Pax Tube has an interesting video that provides some explanations for why would right wing people, especially among the younger generation, like anime (title: “why we like anime girls” but it goes deeper in the analysis than it may seem).
This media is often overlooked by critics because it is often associated with the utter degeneracy some of its forms embodies, but regular cinema also ranges from peak art to dumpster on fire.
This is why I would find very interesting to hear your thoughts as a movie critics on the subject.
As an example of something you may appreciate, Hellsing Ultimate is, despite being edgy from time to time, absolutely gorgeous when it comes to the art and story and gives the audience what they want ( a lot of gunfights reminiscent of a better time of western movie industry).

What is truly disturbing and disgusting is to see real woman in the real-world act like Barbie in the Barbie movie and then find a guy, after rejecting many men, or a guy like Ken who is perfect for her, and to see the guy she chooses, who if we go in depth, we'll see how horrible of a choice that guy really is. She wants a Minion, not a Man, not a 'real man', as she says, 'I want a real man'. She is not saying what she actually wants, and what she wants is conditioned by her PERCEPTION. These movies, like Barbie are designed to CONDITION the PERCEPTION of the perspective of the audience members, woman, but also males who view it. This movie is purely a Propaganda Film.
The actors still spewed the nonsense. People just didn't want to listen. Every interview was full of hot takes.
White women would not be denied their black panther moment.
So it is now our duty to appropriate this movie as a life lesson for men. No matter how much you give women it will never be Kenough. So save your Kenergy and Kenvest it in yourself.
I saw an entirely different lesson:
1) Patriarchy works
2) Women are brainwashable, it doesn't even take much time.

@@marbellaotaiza801 Indeed, that was the best part of it all; it takes one man like 2 days to overthrow a matriarchy, install men in power, AND ALSO make all the women happy too. No wonder feminists fear men; just one of us is more powerful than their entire movement.

Seriously, the fact that Barbie is making more than MI - Dead Reckoning should be something to be investigated.
What's worse - they will try to recreate it. Hollywood's greed has no limits.
The Japan account for Barbie put out an apology for the Western account posting barbenhiemer memes
I find that funny but also sad
People probably thought that if doom and animal crossing worked, then this might too.
You think that's forced? Look at Saw Patrol and that will show you what a forced corporate meme looks like
This movie degrades construction workers while probably had a set construction crew of 99% men 😂
I thought it was funny when the Kens came to an agreement after finding out that there was no reason to fight eachother and that it was making them unhappy. Meanwhile, the Barbies are actually happy, but have to be told that they aren't and then use deception to regain control
I love how their plan is to turn the men against each other but men are much more likely to follow the bro code and stick up for each other and women are far more likely to tear each other at the slightest provocation
AH-UH! AH-UH! AH-UH!
Sure except for war, gang executions, corporate backstabbing, political shenanigans. Women tear each other down mainly over men
@@NightimeInDeepSpaceWell that's due to mostly power.
@@NightimeInDeepSpace except for corporate backstabbing, in gangs and war you usually do it for you Kengdom, so you're still sticking up for each other and following the Ken code.

Yeah do not tell me lies that woman only tear each other down due to men, beacause these women prove they are just as evil and blood thirsty as men, if not worse!
The pure logic and analysis in this review is incredible. This is an absolute masterclass of exposing hypocrisy of feminism. Feminism is poision to a enlightened society, and no review proves it more than this one!!
Perfectly stated, spot on comment !👍
I don't like feminism. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere...
Except that Barbie is fake feminism according to actual feminists. Kind of nuts, but there it is. I personally don't what I'm doing here, I'm just a bored 40 year old waiting for my holiday from my horrible job.
@@SevenEllen sorry to hear about the job. Modern feminists are liars though: Barbie world is an accurate representation of their political goals. The Despot was right when he mocked the sisterhood as this is the most economically successful feminist movie (which means it was seen by a lot of potential victims) and they can't wait to tear it apart by saying it's fake feminism...
I love that Barbieland is an ethno-nationalist world hellbent on maintaining power in only one demographic based purely on gender. It’s phenomenal what was accomplished with this film. It’s a feminist movie with far right political arguments.
I found it absolutely shocking the tropes of Barbie being smacked and catcalled. If you actually walk in the streets you realize that doesn't happen, especially after MuToo. A construction worker would be fully aware that a complaint from a woman could cost him his job. Its complete fiction, showing how detached from reality these feminists are.
talking about being attached from reality is ironic considering what you just typed 😭

The fact that the screenwriter wrote marriage story, a movie about divorce, I felt like I was watching a divorce between barbie and Ken. Barbie has already come to terms with the fact she doesn't love Ken anymore and Ken has no idea so he's still in love with her. Ken has to figure out who he is again, much like a long term relationship that's become one sided. As a child of divorce all the signs were screaming at me. It was so uncomfortable. But especially their insensitive jokes about depression. I felt more comfortable watching the Joker movie than the barbie movie.
This movie is just midlife crisis divorce movie with barbie.
This movie turned out to be everything I expected it to be just from seeing a trailer. Also, the whole power=happiness thing completely cuts out the fact that some people, men and women both, can find happiness in many ways, including by being mothers and/or fathers while their partners are the ones who go out and work a day job. Some even split the responsibilities half-and-half, working part-time jobs and taking care of their children when not at work. Some people are perfectly happy to take up these roles and no one should be judged or shamed for that.
And infertile people? What about disabled people who derive their happiness from caring for animals for example? It’s not either be a parent or a charicarure of a feminist boss babe. It’s such a first world thing lmao go anywhere that’s not Europe and US and sadly you’ll find women forced to work even if they have children and they do it out of necessity not because they want to be powerful. They need to eat.
Also a lot of women have lost their husbands either through death or have become disabled due to work place incidents, are they also trying to become powerful and should be shunned when they go to work so their kids can eat?
It's strange to see Barbie, a family friendly icon of female childhood and fashion become a feminist movie of political contradictions with a marketing that many consider deceptive and might've accidently exposed Mattel and their co-founder's controversial history.
I also think it's feminist narrative is pretty much black and white when regarding men as evil and women as good despite life and history proving men and women of the past, present and future were both, would feminists have anything to say regarding evil women?
It's = it is
Its = possesive

What's the controversial history of Mattel and it's co-founder?
I am both shocked and deeply impressed by your analysis and counter arguments against this movie and the arguments made by the director.
The one thing that upset me about this movie was the construction man trope. Hollywood has long made fun of the working class. Portraying us as moronic brutes. I don't care that it might make some women look down on us, but it bothers me that it might make any male who see's it feel less than, because of this constant portrayal.
They hate construction workers more than, I dunno, trash collectors or factory workers for some reason. Maybe it's the secret inner knowledge that they'd be living under a tree if it wasn't for you guys. Kenspect from an architect.
Also, are there even white construction workers in California anymore?
It's all Mexicans and South and Central Americans.
@@marbellaotaiza801 I liked a lot of things about the movie (though the breakup still made me sad) but I agree wholeheartedly that the anti-working-class elitism was vile.

When Life in the Dreamhouse has better comedy than the actual live action Barbie movie, you know there’s a problem. In fact, not adding more of Barbie’s iconic sisters or the TRUE QUEEN RAQUELLE is an actual crime in itself.
Seriously, get on that show, even if you’re a grown adult. You'll realize how much more relatable and funny Life in the Dreamhouse truly is. Raquelle basically was what carried the show.
The episode where they argue who Barbie's real "best friend" is is absolutely carried by Raquelle's apathy.
I can't believe they really didn't give Barbie her sisters or Raquelle. I myself don't watch Life in the Dreamhouse because I prefer watching the fairytale Barbie lmao, but I know that it must have been sooo much better than this.
@@charlesruteal9062 , yeah... I always felt like that episode was a missed potential, to be honest. I mean, could you imagine if after getting no answers corrected during the game, the final question Skipper asks is something extremely hard to answer, that nobody, but for some reason Raquelle unintentionally answers correctly? It would go to show that despite how she feels about Barbie, Raquelle does, deep down, care about her to know the one thing that means a lot.
Giving Raquelle a bit of growth and showing how her antagonism of Barbie is what will lead to her downfall. Have the two have a heart-to-heart in the conclusion of one of the seasons finally making peace with each other, Raquelle putting their differences aside, seeing that fighting Barbie is pointless. Heck, even throw in a poignant, "The things we could have been together.", from either Barbie or Raquelle, with Raquelle looking at herself when either hearing/saying that.
@@osmanyousif7849 Yeah, that would've been heartwarming. I don't think they wanted the villains (as in Raquelle and Ryan) to have much depth, so the writers made them incurably narcissistic. As it stands, that episode's plot is one-note, with the humor carrying it through. But it was the episode where I realized how hilarious Raquelle is (shoutout to the line right after Barbie spells out the moral), so I have a soft spot for it. That, and it ends with a (comedic) win for Ken, as he's the one who answers the question no one can answer.
Also, the show has amazing visual gags throughout. I love how they play with the concept of everyone living in a toy world, even if it's not often in the focus (Raquelle using nail polish that's bigger than her torso comes to mind, alomg with Barbie shipping her clothes to sell them).
I was so disappointed they didn't go with the Life In The Dreamhouse type of story.
The mix of your extensive historical knowledge and hilarious take on this shite fil-lim is *chef’s kiss*!!
Clever people are genuinely the most amusing.

Oppenheimer was a radical movie because they did not cast black actors to play white physicists. In the modern day Holywood, that was revolutionary.
I have no idea if Margot Robbie is lying, but she seems to believe that this movie is a parody due to the outrageously mask-off approach to its political messaging.
She's overrated, all looks, has no brain, and believes in whatever nonsense she hears or says.
Thing is, it's not possible to parody feminism; many level-headed people don't realize that the most bat-shit crazy takes from feminists are still 100% serious, and even if more "normal" feminists don't agree, they also will never call them out for being insane bigots, they will just say "There are many schools of feminism, we think differently, but we are all united in opposing patriarchy!" and then refuse to say anything further on the matter. I've seen many people make the same remarks about the movie, like "No one ACTUALLY thinks this!" and it's like, yes, yes they do.
I mean... she also starred in the weirdly feminist birds of prey, so I'd take her words with a pinch of salt if I were you
@Frieza-yg4zpI was in a 4 hour discord chat last night and one of the speakers says he cant understand why this film is getting hated as it doesnt come off anti men to him
The idea that it's a parody of feminism doesn't work. Nothing of what is stated is even controversial within modern feminism.
I love how the Despot always graces us with a fascinating history lesson each video.
It has become a trope / in joke now, the one in my upcoming video is fantastic.
@@DespotofAntrim Just out of curiosity do you have a background in this field? Or do you just use historic conflicts as analogys for the current culture war? The cleopatra Video was full of historic corrections
@@NiedfyrI think the Despot just really likes Total War. I can relate, I love Total War as well.
If you study history, you start seeing parallels everywhere. I studied Europe and Japan between the World Wars... The world is a scary place now... 😔
The only people that expect women to always be extraordinary are femenists. You see it all the time in commercials, movies, tv shows, and music. Women are always perfect, they are always strong and powerful, and they are always smart and successful. So whenever a woman complains about feeling like she has to live up to impossible standards, you can tell them to thank feminism for that.
Which is one reason I say that contemporary feminism is more harmful to women than anyone else.
Which.. would probably make her feel more isolated? If it's a radical loud feminist saying it that makes sense but every woman?? Majority of which are generally fine with how things are?
@@Cardinal_claw yes. That's exactly what I said. The feminists are the ones doing this. It was right there in the very beginning of my original comment.
Honestly, we as men, should overall in society coalesce a movement of men to turn to our better halves to start laying the bricks, managing the plants, mending the roads, building the houses, cleaning the pipes, and carrying the boats. I truly would love to see how long the lights stay on if we bring Barbie land to real life.
It’s so poorly written that I actually couldn’t understand if she was for women or against women!… Btw, new favourite channel! Awesomeness personified! Thank you!❤

The elephant in the room that is -Doctor- Troon Barbie.

Agree, he has a way with words like the Critical Drinker.
I've seen a lot of animated Barbie movies and shows with my girls. Barbie is pretty, smart, kind, resourceful, and will rise to the challenge under difficult circumstances. Usually the adversary is a power hungry evil woman, often with some magical powers. None of them have a "oh it's so hard to be a woman" rant that went on and on and sucked all the energy out of the film. Otherwise I thought the movie was colorful, creative, and funny. The exploration of how the Ken's feel at being so peripheral in Barbie world was fun. They are peripheral, it's Barbie world after all.
I think a lot of the reviewers are making way too much of this movies though.
Hey, that intro was spot on, I'm surprised westerners know about the battle. It took us 250 years to overcome the Mongol yoke, but we did it. So there is still hope for good cinema.
Man I don’t want to wait 200+ years for a good movie lmao
@Sharpshooter0890 men of culture know about the battle...
What i don't like about ideologies is that there is no individuality. all men are the same, all men have the same experience and all men are privileged and all that, while all women are oppressed and whatever other nonsense they preach. The human experience is individual and that's why no ideology will ever be right.
Oh absolutely, that's the problem with intersectionality and critical theory of any kind. It by necessity put people into groups based on skin deep characteristics and says you MUST be a part of this group, and you have no individuality nor individual story. This group has a role, and this is now your role. and whatever you do affects the group, so you MUST act as part of this group and follow those rules.
And this group can never actually break its status, because then we have no argument anymore. A woman can never NOT be a victim, because if she isn't, the feminists has no cause nor any argument why they should have special treatment.
yes because ideology = painting with a broad brush. you are truly a modern plato 😂
Divide and conquer.
Whatever divide and conquer tactic is pushed by those in power, must therefore be false, as it is merely a tactic. This would include men vs. Women, white vs. Black, gays vs. Straights, trans vs. Cis, etc.
Whatever divisions are not allowed to be discussed must be the actual reality. So just ask yourself, what can we not talk about?
You are absolutely right dude, every case is individual. To believe all men are privileged is beyond dumb, and all women are victims off of the sheer fact they're a woman their life must be hard? Life is hard for everyone in different ways on different levels, but gender is only a small determining factor. Your background, your country, your race, your economic status, all of that can determine your quality of life, but gender alone? That's ridiculous
To determine what people are based off of things out of their control has some effect on them but what they do for the betterment of others and themself can be said and have positive effects
I tried to warn my coworker about this movie but she still intends to watch it because "it's satire and you're not supposed to take it seriously"-- you know, the usual BS free pass idiot audience members give that allows this trash to exist in the first place. Even after I told her it goes against everything that Barbie really is, she's just so blinded by what I assume she perceives as "brand loyalty" that I have no doubt it will all fly over her head. I'm doing myself a favor and sticking with the classic Barbie films.
It is satire! 😇 The plight of the Kens is designed to be an exaggerated version of what happens to women who are treated as accessories... but the film is also self-aware enough that it says in as many words that the real world isn't that sexist... which is why there is literally a scene where Ken gets schooled that in the real world, being a man doesn't entitle him to be a doctor unless he is actually qualified and a woman who is qualified CAN be a doctor or anything else. I'm not doing it justice because its really funny but it deliberately rebutts the idea that being a man is a cheatcode for life.
Likewise, the character of Sasha (the hateful girl who calls Barbie a "fascist" is SUPPOSED to be off-base. She's a satire of a certain type of angry gender-Maoist who is literally so stupid and woke that she berates her own white father for daring to speak Spanish, a language that literally comes from Europe in the first place.
If you watch the movie, I think that you may actually get it.
@@themostbestwizardpeople who have never watched a Barbie animated movie or show before won't get it. One part of the movie that was really bad though was the long "it's so hard to be a woman" rant. That is not part of Barbie's outlook at all.
@@themostbestwizardas for the Ken's, in the animated world most of the males are peripheral. That's ok, it's Barbie world. This movie gave them a chance to say how they feel about it, and it was funny to me.
@@magsteel9891 I agree. I thought that would have been better if it were "being a human in the real world is HARD."
@@themostbestwizardIt's not satire, the writer-director has multiple quotes contradicting this claim. Most damning that she regarded the angry teenager calling Barbie a fascist as having "well articulated and correct arguments from a smart character against Barbie." Little Platoon's video on the film has a section covering the claim. At best the film's a parody.
One of the best analyses of this film I have seen. Not only do you hit so many of my own talking points, but you come up with quite a few that I missed because at some point I just checked out of this film. Great work, mate.
Women can do anything, yea well, the first all female space walk was a group of female Astronaut having to fix something outside in space. One of the women accidentally kicked the tool bag and its not set to come through the atmosphere in March or April
Despot is again spot on. However we must admit the movie has been wildly popular with good word of mouth. I believe there are several reasons why. 1. The initial marketing, as Despot explained, downplayed the radical political views, and played on legitimate nostalgia among women for the toy Barbie. 2. Women are hungry for a movie that isn't a rom-com aimed squarely at them - that they can make "theirs". Thus, Barbie has become an event that you dress up for and go to see with your buds. 3. The film is actually well made, with beautiful colors and sets, elaborate wardrobe and practical effects. 4. The main characters are good looking and not androgynous ciphers - people like to see good looking feminine and masculine actors on the big screen. 5. The political messaging is so on the nose, so ludicrously exaggerated, and the Ken's so obviously oppressed, that, perhaps, it comes off as farce.
It comes off as satire for sure, the main issue is the amount of young people watching the film who won't see that nuance.
@@Vespyr_ Fuck 'em. Young people ain't shit, we should raise the voting age to thirty.
@@Vespyr_ the irony of those not seeing the age demographics of this film lol opening weekend
Satire or not, it's still a garbage movie. My husband and I made it thirty minutes before turning it off.
To be honest, every person ive heard say they liked it were men. 3 of my male coworkers liked, and two of my male friends said it was pretty good compared to what they expected. Two of them even bought Kenough merch.
Meanwhile ive only met like 2 girls who actually liked it, despite knowing more females than males who saw it.
It seems like a case of someone trying to be so woke they accidently gave men another power fantasy movie that isnt super depressing thru the inadvertent/unaware use of toxic feminity.
I more excited about an hour and a thirty seven minute video from the Despot than I will ever be about an hour and fifty four minute Barbie show!!
For the record, I like the thick, Irish accent.
Between the Despot and Critical Drinker, the accents are one of the things that make these videos fun to listen to!

None of this relates to the Barbie movie.
The point that most perfectly encapsulates the failure of Barbie as a movie is when barbie calls the old woman at the bus stop beautiful, and instead of accepting the compliment like a regular person, says something insipid like "gurl I know it"
That legit made me roll my eyes
The movie made over a billion dollars. It's not a failure and it doesn't deserve to be. The Woman King was trash and it failed. Barbie is actually very self-aware. I didn't like the message about how it was OK to be single (it's not) but it wasn't a woke garbage fire.

I haven't finished watching this video, but I want to say this first: I read an article of America Ferrera gloating about her speech needing 50 takes and the crew cried listening to her speech. Assuming that the crew cried because it touched their hearts, but I thought the crew cried because they were happy it was finally over, 50 takes must have been such a torture lmao. And kudos for mentioning Spectre. I'm still salty about them rejecting it.
Edit: America Ferrera gloated about the monologue not only took 30-50 takes, but also took TWO freaking DAYS. TWO DAYS. No wonder the crew cried.
Only a special type of actress who when taking "50 takes" to get her 'monologue' correct would believe the other cast & crew to tears was because of her passion and heartfelt message.....and nothing else !?

That incoherent rant would make anyone cry tears of boredom. I have seen plenty of TH-cam comments from women saying it made them cry; feeling over logic.

They cried because their birth control stopped working, and they would be forced to care for another human

Let's just make three realms: The masculine, the complimentary feminine, and the adversarial feminine. The wall off the third from the other two. Let them make themselves miserable and leave everyone else out of it.

Exactly!
Sometimes, i reflect upon the Lego movies, which the franchise was marketed towards boys had great social messages and was a universally loved film series.
its honestly concerning that Amy Schumer turned down the lead role because she didn't think it was feminist enough. by the end all the men might of been sent to work camps and be forced too wear shock collars.
I doubt that's what really happened. The studio probably realized it would be harder to market the movie with her as the lead. People are already aware that she is a hard core woke feminist.
@@nerychristian good point
This is why no real problems ever get solved in our society; children's toys can spark ridiculous controversy, and we literally get canceled if we voice concern over obesity.
Just finished the video on 1.5x speed while feeding and changing my baby, as a man. Much patriarchy. This video is excellent but I have tow points I feel are worth raising:
1) I absolutely cannot wait until this film gets a home release. I am willing to bet money that within one month, there will be multiple "fan" edits that even further cement that Ken is the hero of the film and Barbie the villain. I may or may not be one of the people making that edit
2) The screed. The rant about "Barbie's" role as a woman strikes me really as a rant about "barbie" not knowing her place or station in the world and society. And I can't help but think that all of the problems that she has such as women having to be careerists and mothers at the same time is a self inflicted wound created by feminism itself. My wife, who is a Doctor herself for what it is worth, was quick to point out about her experience when we were watching reviews of the Barbie movie that never ever at any point ever has it been men that she has seen judging women about their life and career choices, only other women.
Not sure why you brought up "feeding" and "changing" your kid, which is just cringe, or stating that your wife is a doctor, but man dude you really should just get to your unintelligible points, instead of coming off like a joke, which is what you are. It's embarassing, unmanly, and just sad, man.
I wouldn't even watch this movie for free, but I'd watch a Ken edit.
Also, IRL men not judging women for their life choices is one of the reasons why they make such poor ones.
Good point #2. And as an ominous warning, I'm sure the government is eager to offer up a solution for women's dilema: "We, your benevolent Government, will undertake the onerous burden of raising your children, since it interferes with your rise to top of the corporate ladder."
Women seem to think that every one of them will get to be a girlboss or something. It's almost painful to think of them discovering, as men do, that those top spots too often go, not to the worthy, but the most amoral, vicious and manipulative among us. Painful, but also funny.
@@Trollificusv2do people forget that some women are genuinely POOR and need a job? Do you think factory workers are there to be boss babes? You don’t think that maybe just maaaaybe they need to be working to make some income to feed their kids or idk be able to afford rent? What about widows? What about women who’s husbands became disabled after a workplace accidents? Or just women who must work because one income isn’t enough? I don’t understand this recent colleration that any woman who had a job is some kind of boss babe who hates nuclear family and is out there to destroy it? Some people need to eat? Wtf
@@Bijoux4you ?? Sorry for the misunderstanding. I wasn't talking about the REALITY of women's lives, I was talking about what is promoted to them in media and from feminists. And from them, all you ever hear about is "empowerment" and "being you best self" when, as you point out, most women are in the work force to keep a roof over their heads, sometimes over their childrens' heads, or even to add income to their husbands' to create a better life.
I don't think those women are much considered when we get "grrrl powrr" propaganda.
You are a treasure Despot, thank you for calling this stuff out and for not trying to sugarcoat it as some critics have. You are the best film reviewer on youtube. This movie is so hateful. I recall at the start of the film being taken back by barbie saying to ken "I dont want you here" when he wants to hang out with her. It is such an odd line. Rather than being simply oblivious to ken this line implies pure disdain for him and how he might feel when told that. That is psychopathic levels of lack of empathy. Even at the end when using the iconic barbie song they use a terrible remix version and they cut the male singer completely out. Telling women they are garbage if they are not a CEO makes 99.99% of women feel like garbage. Having these little girls at the start smashing babies ffs and the idea of motherhood and family in exchange for this ego driven, shallow swimsuit barbie image. Even saying that motherhood gets old quickly "just ask your mother". So your mother hates you it is saying lol. These things this woman complains about about not being able to be mean or rude. Why would you want to be these things? You are complaining you cannot abuse people without social consequence? What psychopath wrote this?
Barbie Land actually sounds like a dystopian hellscape but pink. All the power is concentrated in one demographic who will not stand for any disruption of their power and who will gaslight and manipulate anyone to keep their power.
When you understand the motive, no matter how often the goal posts move or how many strawmen are erected, it’s all about power dynamics. It’s not about principles or justice or equality or equity. It’s always about the consolidation of power.
It's the definition of unearned power, utterly undeserving, and unlikable, and it's been lapped up because of the pink. I thought I was going crazy in the cinema because they weren't delivering a plot, they just kept whining and saying patriarchy. Perhaps it appeals to the reality TV generation?
A new synopsis for the Barbie movie, which in my mind I have now renamed Ken's Journey;
"A story of a man trapped not just in a misandrist, profoundly unjust Matriarchal dystopia, but also in a relationship with a manipulative, narcissistic, borderline psychotic abuser. It all seems so bleak, and yet this man, so downtrodden, mocked and marginalised, sees a glimpse into another way of life. He sees what an equal society could be, and finds the inner strength to defy the culture which victimised him, and the woman who rejected his love and abused his good character, to break free and take back control of his life. Inspiring, uplifting, life-affirming - Ken is a new kind of hero for 2023. He is... Kenough!"
I love it when fanatics go so far off the deep end that they accidentally highlight all the glaring flaws in their own delusional beliefs, and it seems Barbie has emerged as pretty much the Mount Everest of self-owns.
Like Gandalf The Pink said to Ken Baggins: "a traitor can betray herself and do good she does not intend".
You don't understand. The plight of the Kens is literally meant to be an exaggerated version of what women go through when they aren't taken seriously. It's an exaggeration and the movie knows that (which is why they point out that in the real world, women can be doctors and men don't get to be unless they are actually qualified) but it's meant to make a point that sexism is wrong; NOT that it should be reversed. Even the part about how Ken needs to learn to be "Kenough" is meant to be an inversion of the "I'm enough" thing that is supposed to liberate women from seeing themselves as valuable only if they are part of a family.
@@themostbestwizard Actually I did get that. It's just that it wasn't as clever as the movie thought it was. So sick of people thinking that the movie is deep. It's about as deep as a birdbath and "THE MESSAGE" hits you like a sledgehammer to the face. Terrible movie.
@@themostbestwizard except women themselves don't see themselves as valuable unless they have a family.
If someone complains that Barbieworld is "misandrist" then they clearly do NOT get it. Complaining that the dystopia that is meant to be an exaggerated analogue for a bad thing that happens in real life isn't nice to men is like reading 1984 and complaining that it is authoritarian.
You nailed it. This was a grotesque watch. This is the most transed, anti-straight, anti-nuclear family propaganda piece I've ever seen. There is no shred of passion or romance in here. Not one frame sincerely depicting a man and a woman getting along - they're always turned against each other. Ken is very blatantly set up to be Barbie's foe - the toxic man standing in the way, who apologizes by the end and admits he didn't even know what he was pushing for. If the narrative has a bad guy, it's all men in the world added up to one - one problem. A problem that needed to be "fixed", going by the dialogue of the film. Any kind of passionate writing in a modern narrative where men and women end up on the same page at the end is deemed toxic and dangerous in 2023.
Notice how the actual ending of Barbie hammers its anti-straight, pro-trans message home by saying that anyone can be a woman - even a doll with nothing down there (a detail that is fully established within the narrative) can carve out the right looking parts and that's all there is to it. Before you get to leave, Mattel's multi-million dollar motion picture Barbie smacks you and your family in the face with these words: "TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN!"
They dont want equality, they want men in chains. The most disturbing part is that my mother, sister and her friends all went to see the movie and loved it.
Get out! You're in a Piper Perri situation.
Because it’s not about putting men in chains. The people who hate Barbie very clearly do not understand it. The guy who made this video probably didn’t even watch the movie, and just watched Ben Shapiro’s take on it. How watch an actual analysis of the movie and tell me it hates men afterwards
@@conorlynch8876 lol, you're not supposed to say that. You're supposed to say "you should watch the movie yourself to form your own opinion"...
@@marbellaotaiza801 yes but this isn’t forming an opinion, it’s just misunderstanding the movie. The point of the movie isn’t to hate men, it is meant to represent the opposite of our world. Barbie land is essentially a polar opposite of our world in terms of hierarchy. It is also an exaggerated version. It’s not saying “men suck”, it is simply commenting on the power structure. The fact that you didn’t get that and immediately thought “it hates men” really says a lot about who you are as a person
@@conorlynch8876 TLDR if you really think Barbie is a polar opposite to our world, then you didn't watch Despot's analysis. And you're more than a little brainwashed. And Barbie world is flat, so it has no poles, so it can't be a polar opposite of anything. lol you really got rekt on this one...
This movie may have been hit with people for whatever odd reason, but it doesn't make up for the fact that so many other movies were absolute garbage.
The critical thinking, expert logic, and effective illustrations and arguments - exquisite! I didn't want to see the Barbie movie almost skipped this review, but very please I watched it! Well done, benevolent, despot.
One thing I have to say about this movie and its future though... This was lightning in a bottle. It came out at the right time, where everything else is so incredibly boring. People are just desperate to have some fun, and the marketing made this look legit just fun and a relaxed time.
Now WB is busy greenlighting a ton of stuff to recapture this, including a Polly Pocket movie directed by Lena Dunham, and a Barney movie as an adult comedy.... None of these movies are going to earn money. This is not going to happen again.
They will chase the buzz of Barbie endlessly and loose an incredible amount of money. they will probably make a Barbie sequel with a higher budget, around 200 mio dollars, but only earn 500-600 mio on the sequel, which isn't bad, but will be diminishing returns.
Of course, all of this assumes that Hollywood will still exist in a year which is not a guarantee. WB had this ONE box office hit in a year where everything else failed horribly, they are all big money pits where money goes to vanish and has been for a long time, so now it's finally just headed for collapse, which made the actors and writers panic, why they are not striking to ensure job security... Job security in a failing market where they need to cut so much stuff just to stay above water and cut down in budget on everything.
The giga structure that could protect these things and push them forward is crumbling, it has been for a long time, but we are at a critical point, and it is entirely possible it is all just going to fall down and collapse within a year.
Giving the perfect opportunity for alternative sources of media and entertainment to step in and pick up the slack, Anime, k-Drama, TH-camrs, and independent studios such as Angel Studios are there and ready for their moment. And while they are not as huge as Hollywood, they have a solid foundation making them so much more robust.
So yeah... While this Barbie movie maybe saved WB from its immediate collapse, the aftermath of chasing this buzz is assured to bring them a slower more desperate collapse in the coming years.
The feedback i get i that a lot of the people who went and watched this movie really didn't like it. Mostly women, went out for a girl's night out because it was a Barbie movie after all and they liked the trailer. But left not liking the movie with the exception of hardcore feminists that agree with the message.
They can't trick people twice with this. If there's a sequel, it will fail because most people who saw this one aren't looking forward to another and won't be fooled by the trailer again.
Lena Dunham is the one who wrote about molesting her little sister when she was young in her autobiography, isn't she? It's weird how her and Biden have that sort of thing on paper and yet remain unpunished.
Absolutely. I thought from the marketing that it was going to be a fun romp. Instead, this is probably one of the most offensive things I have ever seen and a lot of women I have spoken to agree. We won't be making the mistake of seeing another one of these
@@laredouter4792 Also of course, Hollywood learned all the wrong messages from this.
This dumbass director came out and said. "This just proves we need more movies with female leads!"
And I am just like... where the FUCK have you been the last five years? EVERY movie has a female lead right now! All of them. All the shows have female leads. And they ALL have the same, intolerable, feminist message of strong independent woman who is BETTER than all the men and doesn't need anyone else than herself, and she's perfect the way she is and should never have to change, and it's the MEN who has to realize she's perfect and they should feel so honored to merely be in her glorious presence. All the while the woman is acting like an angry and entitled DICK!
I am so sick of it... I'm a woman and I am sick of it.... There's a reason why most things I watch right now is anime and Korean horror. Cause it's... You know... Good. And has other things to tell, more interesting things, and dares to have fun and stuff.
Lol. My sister-in-law's fiance wanted to take her to this movie because the entire time he thought it was going to be a romcom and thought it would be a cute and fun date night. My sister-in-law thought so, too, until they saw it. She told me yesterday about how I wouldn't like it. Oh I knew. But it was hilarious because she looked genuinely peeved about it. 😂😂😂
A woman peeved by a feminist movie? YOU LIE, YOUVE BEEN CORRUPTED BY INTERNALIZED MISOGYNY! - some insane sjw hiding in a basement somewhere.
I sometimes forget that the NPCs like your sister in law and her fiance are numerous and the majority of the population.
How he saw the trailers and thought this was going to be a romcom, I will never know.
Oh well... atleast they both learnt their lessons
@@savioblanc They definitely did, but dude wtf. The marketing for this movie literally hid the fact that this garbage is a propaganda machine. They're not npc's. They hate sjxt like that. Their woke radars are just not as strong as mine.
@@-ninjanOodlez I stand by my statement. Margot Robbie's film trajectory has been into woke feminism b.s. for a while now but she gets a pass from most men because she's hot af and she doesn't spout asinine anti-Male statements on Twitter.
We know Amy Schumer was attached to the Barbie project prior to Margot Robbie helming the movie.
Greta Gerwig, the director, is known for her "empowering" feminist films.
This is what I meant - all the signs were there but the average person isn't going to be aware of these signs.
The marketing was brilliant but if people were paying attention, the fact that there was a transwoman appearing as a Barbie should have spiked on their radars, the opening scene of baby dolls being smashed by little girls should have been a major fkin clue something wasn't right about this film.
There were numerous clues but an NPC was never gonna see it
@@savioblanc No I agree with you, but them not knowing anything doesn't make them an npc. Again: they stand against every message this movie tries to convey. They're just not as politically aware of the climate in pedo-wood and just wanted to see a movie over the weekend. They didn't watch any trailers for this movie. They know nothing about margot, or greta, or schumer like we do. He saw Barbie, he saw pink, he thought "hey maybe my girl would like to watch this with me." Again: I agree with you, but not everyone has time for politics, my dude. They're those who exist outside this political garbage and just wanna live their lives, and that's okay.
A funny take on the catcalling constructionworker trope was in King of Queens, where she felt empowered and young again BECAUSE they catcalled her.
I bet almost every woman would like it (if tasteful of course) and only rich Hollywood women seem to hate it.
@druidofscosglen2868 exactly xD
there is a female journalist for the guardian that made an article a decade or so ago complaining about the scourge of catcalls she got
after me too (and she got older) she made an article complaining about how she misses catcalls despite hating them before
ironic
@@finalfantasy50 yup xD
I'm a native Spanish speaker, and I laughed so hard when you said that one phrase in Spanish! I wasn't expecting that.
I find it interesting that ken returned to Barbie land with an idea and NOT a device for mind control/brainwashing so the barbies were just as fully aware of their decisions as the kens. So it was barbie who brainwashed/mind controlled the rest of the Barbies: proof of who is the true villain is
Not only am I depriving the 'like' button of its "human rights", I am cruelly 'subjugating' the 'share' button! 😁
We must brutalize all features of content promotion and rule over them with an iron fist.
@@DespotofAntrim 😆👍
@@DespotofAntrimafter all, there is only power
Imagine being an actual mother or prengent woman seeing this movie and the way it portrays you, and seeing the trans barbie get more repsect and representation. Its why TURFs are a thing.
The irony of the consumerism+ fast fashion driven marketing of a plastic doll producing company’s movie chastising capitalism…
I'm reminded of a study done on tipping, things waitresses do nominally to get big tips from men, cleavage, good make up, ect get a bigger tip from men the first time. After the first meeting men gave tips based on friendliness. From women it got a bigger tip everytime. The waitresses friendliness was irrelevant.
Thanks Despot! I needed you to make this analysis just as much as you needed Caesar to be bold.
#notmycaesar
Can I just say that I absolutely love all the American Psycho clips that have been so masterfully implemented in this video? Three cheers for the patriarchy!
Hip hip hooray!
Have you seen The Despot's business card? So subtle, off-white colouring. My God! It even has a watermark.
Your "pawaah" comment had me laughing.
Well done, as always.
A Matriarchy can only exist within a Patriarchy. Remember that, ladies
Construction workers. I've spent the last 15 years living around contructions areas. Houses, condos. Construction areas are surrounded by fences, with heavy machinery and truck moving around. They are filthy dangerous places where men work. You never see any women around these filthy dusty/muddy areas and sane people avoid them. I've never seen construction workers heckling women. There are no women to heckle and they have better things to do.
Great video as always. Insightful and funny. This channel is really underrated.
My wife is a 93 pound russian ballerina. She fully impresses her natural Feminine rolls as a wife and a fantastic mother. We are in the United States right now and other women criticize her for being a stay at home mom.
She reminds them that when they grow old with no man or family the only souls that will be around are their cats. Once the sad lonley women die the cats that love their boss babe so much will show their respect by eating the women's eyes out of her cold stiff corpse.
You have a bloody unicorn. Don’t lose her.
@@duncanharrell5009A woman staying at home is not a unicorn mate. Even in L.A.
Sounds about underweight
@pearlosibu Sounds perfect to us, but you can always continue this conversation with your cats.
@@fitnessbearsmirnov17 I don't keep animals of any kind. I'm pointing out your need to state those specifics that have nothing to do with your wife's character, including her underweight body. Is she child size? Who is "us"? LOL. You're insecure and need your wife's looks as a crutch. Your wife, and the people who criticise her are two opposite extremes of idiot. They criticise her for being stay at home, they're pathetic. She retorts with baseless nonsense, as though those are the only options. Also, people drop dead everyday. A marriage does not guarantee anyone escape from loneliness. It's just luck. Pray you're alive to keep her safe and away from cats.
Once again, the most well articulated and concisely explained video since the last Despot release. I really enjoy these fact based videos. Again.....kudos!
This intro is absolutely genius for a Barbie movie review lmfao
What if Ken instead assumed she was a nurse because she wasn't dressed up fabulously enough?
As a Spanish person, your spanish was absolutely amazing 😂
Thank you!
I’m a construction worker and I agree with you I have no power all I do is live in a trailer I’m not rich I’m not invited to any expensive parties. I just go to work. Do my job and come home
As someone who was born into a trailer and has gone to those parties, you are not missing much.
