"Barbie" 8.9 points: Word of mouth and foreign box office have fully exploded, but they have been on the hot search because there are too few films in the mainland
This summer is destined to be a pink world.
When "Barbie" was announced, some netizens also made such a poster.
It hit Nolan's blockbuster "Oppenheimer".
One is the "great cause of nuclear construction" full of tough temperament.
One is the world of women pouring to powder.
Two very different styles, colliding together, is still very dramatic.
It is said that Nolan was not satisfied with the release of the two movies together and asked Warner to drive Barbie away.
However, the most dramatic scene appeared -
Barbie's Thursday advance closed $21.2 million.
It is the best result since the summer, and breaking 100 million in three days in the first weekend has become a foregone conclusion.
And Nolan's "Oppenheimer" also exceeds 10 million.
The success of both movies also made Warner a big profit.
Some netizens pointed out that Warner bet on "Oppenheimer", and did not expect that "Barbie" was a "pink horse".
Heat one minute on the minute.

In addition to North America, in France and Australia and even Latin America, the film also created the highest first-day box office of the year.
It also exceeded the box office of "Avatar 2" in the same period, setting a record for Warner.
However, unlike the blockbuster in North America and Europe, the film's box office in Asia is slightly flat.
In Chinese mainland, although the film market was not optimistic about it and only gave it 2% of the rankings, it eventually created a 21% attendance.
While the box office is rising, the reputation of "Barbie" is also quite out of the circle.
Rotten Tomatoes has a freshness rating of up to 90% and a popcorn index of 89%.
On Douban, it also soared to 8.9 points.
I believe that with the fermentation of word of mouth, it is only a matter of time before 9 points are broken.
It is the highest-rated film released at the same time, but the lowest in the ranking.
The value of the female audience is really immeasurable.
Which girl's childhood, no Barbie.
As early as 1959, Ruth Handler saw his daughter playing with a Barbie doll made of paper, so he thought of making this doll into plastic.
Since then, Barbie's name was born.
In addition to the classic Barbie we saw, the designers also invited more Barbie characters to join the team.
Put on a spacesuit, she is an astronaut.
Put on a white coat, she is a doctor.
Wearing a police uniform, she is a sassy policeman.
In the old editor's cabinet, there are at least five different Barbies, different skin tones, long hair and short hair, fat and thin.
For girls, no matter how old they are, liking Barbie is a trend.
02.
Director Greta Gerwig likes Barbie very much.
She also once said that when she stayed in Barbie's theater, she would secrete "dopamine".
She is willing to reinvent her childhood dreams for girls on the big screen.
In the movie, everyone sees a pink world.
It is understood that in order to shoot this movie well, Warner bought all the pink paint in the international market.
In the movie, there are two worlds.
One is the pink fantasy Barbie world, and the other is the real world.
In the dream world, Barbie wears a red dress, lives in a pink castle, and drives a pink car.
Even the mountains in the distance are a faint pink.
Leta Gerwig uses the delicacy of a female director to make Barbie's life real.
Across the big screen, you can feel the vivid personification of childhood "toys".
Here, women are dominant, and Barbie and her boyfriend Ken live a 100% perfect life.
However, the dolls of the Barbie world are no longer happy one day.
The heroine Barbie can sense the cold and warmth when she takes a bath.
Taste the bread that has been fried.
What made her even more unacceptable was that her calves, which usually wore high heels, were able to be flattened.
All this was unacceptable to her.
At the suggestion of her seniors, Barbie decided to come to the real world to find out.
She wants to find the person who influenced her and get her life "back on track".
Boyfriend Ken also jumped into the back seat of her car and came to the real world with her.
In the real world, she found that many men looked at her with bad intentions.
She found the real-life girl.
Only to find out that the girl has grown up and no longer plays with Barbie.
And I also face more uncertainty and imperfection.
The top management of the company that makes Barbie is all men.
These executives also want Barbie to return to the Barbie world.
At the same time, her boyfriend Ken found his "value".
He sees "patriarchy" in the real world and wants to bring "patriarchy" back to the Barbie world.
It also incited many Ken to join the organization.
Barbie faces an existential crisis.
The three girls band together and want to free more girls from Ken's control.
It's a struggle between survival and discourse.
Different from the grand war scenes in the past, the director has a very cute and delicate heart.
She presents war scenes with exaggerated dance and fighting scenes.
While singing and dancing, the other is playful and satirical.
A contest between two forces.
Highly saturated contrast picture, pompous and funny picture.
The collision made a different kind of wonderful.
03.
However, the director did not stop here abruptly, but continued to explore women's issues.
Who is Barbie and who is Ken?
They are no longer appendages attached to others, but themselves with soul and flesh and blood.
Being alive should not be easily defined by others.
Barbie's search for the real world in the movie.
It is also the process of her efforts to find herself.
The movie is not only very fantastical and good-looking, but also has certain practical significance.
Judging from the current box office and arrangement, the film is full of staying power.
Greta Gerwig uses a very gentle and warm technique to explain what true "feminism" is.
Born to be human, brain-opening, a real summer dopamine carnival.
Perfect for movies that girls go to watch.
The clown girl's acting skills are really amazing.
