The live-action version of "Barbie" starring "Harle" Margot Robbie and "High Commander" Ryan Gosling is about to hit theaters on July 21. Margot Robbie's protagonist Barbie will undoubtedly be a major attraction of the film: long blonde hair, long legs and a pink costume. In fact, the only condition that Margot Robbie agreed to play the role was that more different versions of Barbie be added to the film.
Margot Robbie admitted in an interview with Time magazine that if Mattel had not made a change to include a variety of Barbie dolls in the film, she might not have tried to make the film. Margot Robbie said that there should not be only one Barbie doll, and every woman wants to become the Barbie she wants to be.
So how many Barbie dolls are there in this movie "Barbie"? The role of the female Barbie alone includes white, black and transgender people, and if you look closely, isn't this standard American political correctness? Of course, some people will ask, why are there no Asians? There is also a "Shangqi" Liu Simu will play Barbie "Ken" in this film.
Among them, black actress Isa Ray, who plays Barbie, said that the diversity of the cast makes it easier to make her stand out in this "Barbie" movie. She also said that Barbie Land in the movie will be perfect, because if the standard of perfection is a group of white Barbie dolls, then it may be difficult for many people to accept.
And transgender actor Harley Neve, who also plays Barbie, is even more blunt about making this "Barbie" movie feel comfortable and excited. Harley Neve also said that the Barbie movie will be a fusion of contemporary feminist issues and the problem of self-image self-love (body positivity), and she also praised the issue of "Barbie" for bringing fun while not shying away from these worrying parts.
And Mattel president Richard Dixon said that for most people who have only one Barbie image in their minds, then Margot Robbie's Barbie will be the gateway to more Barbie worlds. Chad Dixon said that the Barbie in the movie are Barbie dolls, which represents the image of Barbie dolls in the most perfect lineup now.
Early reviews of the film Barbie actually included "feminist" criticism (not much), and Mattel executives came out to deny this criticism, because in fact the film may have a lot to say (enough to flaunt American political correctness) in addition to being full of joy.
Of course, it cannot simply be said that this movie version of "Barbie" was shot with American political correctness, because Mattel has actually launched various versions of Barbie, including traditional white Barbie, black Barbie, Asian Barbie, Latino Barbie, and transgender Barbie. So it can only be said that this "Barbie" movie is just the perfect presentation of Barbie toys. Of course, in fact, what the film is trying to present is indeed a kind of political correctness of American standards, otherwise it may be difficult to imagine that a movie full of white Barbie may receive more criticism.
