Barbie: An essay. Accepting Hyperfeminity

A Film Beyond Feminism

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧

Yesterday I had the biggest privilege to watch Barbie and it really got me thinking that I do indeed have a lot of things to say about it. This purely how I feel and all of my emotions that I am pouring into the screen, some may agree some may not and that is okay.

Phase one : Feminism, Love & War

The theme of the film is indeed feminism but what a lot of people are not talking enough about or overlooking is the fact what a huge impact being girly had been over the years, since the 90's to 2000's the whole plot of girly being associated with being a bimbo really made a lot of women hate or look down upon being a girly girl. To this day even after the release of the film I do feel sorry to say but there are still a lot of people especially women who feel uncomfortable to be girly, they are afraid of being judged for being not smart enough or not being able to be taken seriously.

This whole hate has extended even towards disney princessess. So many parenting books, videos and even women themselves hating on disney princess just because a man saved them when as a matter of fact disney characters go way beyond man saviour. Cinderella just wanted to go to ball and enjoy, despite being in an abusive household she still loved and appreciated people around her she didn't let bad things influence her, if someone says this is toxic positivity then I have to disagree because she genuinely didn't seem delusional. She was smart, witty, cracked jokes, used sarcasm and found peace in talking to animals. This to me at least is mentally strong not toxic positivity. Ariel just wanted to see the human world but she just happened to fall in love along the way, Belle loved the beast because she taught him how to be free from his own demons, she saw, she taught, she gave him the warmth and love he was lacking.

Other thing is people always look down upon love, my question is why shouldn't there be love? One can be independent and yet still be in love. One can dream and still be in love. People these days are so heartbroken and bitter they have shut themselves off of the whole love scene but might I say that love is more than just romantic feelings, love can be between parents and a kid, love can be between you and your dreams/passion/goals, love can be between you and your pet, love can be between you and the stuffed animal toy you have had since you were a baby, love can even be with knowing when you come home everything is same as it was and it can even be when it comes to changes.

I do believe and hope that after the impact of this film people especially women aren't afraid to be girly because a woman who is girly, love shopping, getting nails done, lives for colour pink, does makeup is just as much of a feminist as a woman who opposes the girly girl spectrum.

Phase two: I Kennot even

Ken was one of the most well written second lead character, I cannot stress on this enough. How I see the film is that in the beginning Barbie land was actually never really equal per say because the playout of it was so co dependent, yes, I understand that was the intention but I would love to dive deeper. Barbie land is the opposite of real world so just like in the real world the power disbalance was so real. I was really reminded of those days when all men did was work and women weren't allowed to do anything so they just longed for their husbands ro return from work. They dresses up for them, made plans for them and practically lived for them. I loved this scene so much because it really showed that Greta knows about feminism because indeed feminism means women and men are equal and either disbalance can really cause a huge harm and we saw that when kens were constantly fighting for all barbie's approvals and lived life through their partners.

When ken went to real world, he was exposed to patriarchy and for once when he saw men being valued he ran with it, the whole reason he even did patriarchy to Barbie land was just to get Barbie's attention when he said "it doesn't feel nice does it" and "when I came to know patriarchy wasn't about horses I instantly lost all interest" shows that he did all of that just so Barbie notices him.

In a way, well like my opinion I see both Barbie and Ken as victims.

Barbie has been shammed by extremist over the years because people think Barbie has unreleastic body but no one see the fact that barbies were created to give girls hope, Barbie has all the careers and can be huge inspiration to little girls everywhere that a girl can be beauty and brains. Barbie was never about making little girls feel bad they were meant to see as "bad" all because of extremists.

Ken was indeed just created to be Barbie's boyfriend and indeed lives up to the name "just Ken" but this film really made us feel his importance too! Towards the end when kens finally have a job assigned by president they have somewhere to start and have their own identity. They will be more than just kens and partners.

Phase three: Conclusion

Both of them had their own journey of self discovery, both of them also had break downs, gave up and kens made bad decisions but they didn't know any better but along the way they really grew up and mentally became mature.

Greta really knows what she did and really captured the prefect ambiance of what needs to be showed. She really gave both characters such depth and love, she really is very talented and I love her for making a film that goes beyond feminism, it is much more than women empowerment. This film not only showed us strong woman power but also showed that patriarchy is taught never learned, people don't know any better, power of influence and accepting women for wanting traditional life as well as accepting who opposes.

I will forever be in favour for this brilliant film. Much love to Greta, cast and behind the scenes cast and of course the colour pink.

● random music recommendations

1. Aimyon - Ai wo Tsutaetaidatoka

this well known masterpiece recently became my everyday anthem. the song, the cinematography - chef's kiss

2. Dawn - Abyss

my absolute favorite mv from the last year and one of my favorite song ever. it grew on me significantly even though i like it from the day one. so beautiful and so sensual, i recomend to check it out more than anything

3. Taemin - Guilty

do i even need to say something? taemin was, is and always will be one of the greatest artists. all of his works are incredible pieces of art and 'guilty' is another brilliant example of it

one thing i will say though is that i really recommend everyone to watch the trailer before the actual mv for better concept understanding (i linked it first here)

it's just another piece of art i promise you

oof these are huge lists lmao.. im more versed in jpop, whereas all the playlists i have for kpop are for groups ive listened to a decent amount of times to remember a few songs, and for the most part they're all mainstream. i kinda wanna look into nct but rn i don't get the difference between all their units(?)

anyways, i'd love to get some recommendations, especially for kpop and anime song artists that i may have missed! even songs from other languages that have edm or chill vibes i'll also take! maybe opm too but i'll think about that for now XD

[sanstropfremir]

Have you listened to Ay-Yo or the other new singles part of NCT 127’s repackaged album? I always enjoy diving into your perspective on groups artistic vision! I never really gave them much time but was sucked into their recent music (I think it’s because of Dem Jointz and Kenzie who helped produce some of the album??). The AY MV wasn’t as flashy as 2 Baddies but I do love a cunt moment and Taeyong delivered for me. I am now so curious about NCT!! You’ve mentioned before that they’re one of the backbones of 4th gen. What do you think it is about the group that has established them beyond others? I appreciate that the songs are experimental and unafraid. The music videos always feel like being sucked into an intense video game and I am here for it lol. Thanks for running such a thoughtful blog btw! Most times I feel like I’m in a little island with too many thoughts but it’s always a fun time checking out your posts.

yes! i love ay yo and the new songs on the repack! skyscraper is my fave of the three but i also really dig dj. dem jointz has actually produced quite a few of 127's title tracks, including cherry bomb, punch, kick it, sticker, and some bsides like right now, time lapse, designer, and nct dream's arcade! kenzie has also done a few 127 tracks including limitless, favourite, and several of my all time fave nct songs ok! and music dance.

sm obvs has big three privilege and for a reason, they have a really long history as one of the founding pillars of the industry since they pretty much invented it. bc of the company's status and their consistency with training their idols + the legacy of the popularity of their groups + the quality of their music, any new group that sm debuts automatically garners a lot of attention, both from the gp and from others in the industry. because of that, they tend to be imitated just by nature of having that much publicity, but nct made a splash with weird choreo and ''noise'' music. the seventh sense was a very unusual debut and no one's managed to level up to it since, even if nct wasn't exactly doing anything that new for the era they debuted in. they're spiritually continuing f(x)'s musical legacy, and the weird choreo + acrobatics of late third gen you can see in other groups that debuted in 2016, like knk and sf9. it's just that they had the higher visibility and outlasted a lot of other groups, so the combination of all those factors is what solidified them as being a significant influence on the subsequent generations.

#sm groups are never TOTALLY new. theyre almost always building on a concept taken from another gen and pointing in a different direction #which is how you should build a group tbh #nct is very strange as a kpop group and profoundly underutilized but even the thing theyre known for (units) isnt even unique to them lol #lsm is so desperately chasing after the jpop mega group model even though it very dramatically failed with suju and exo #bc kpop fans are not receptive to altering established group structures #the fact that nobody's left nct yet is a MIRACLE when you look at how how their predecessors fared #but the basis of their success has to do with being from sm specifically #plus theyre all very well trained musicians (not as in playing instruments as in understanding music) #also all the typical things like: good music good concepts and theyre good performers etc etc #and theyve kind of become the epitome of 'good artists pulling off insane/''bad'' music/concepts bc of their skills' #id recommend watching their dingo killing voice bc you can see them absolutely wipe the fucking floor #actually there's also a drunk version of designer that they did and where the rapline totally forgets their verses #(even though they have lyrics in front of them) #i have a TONNE of nct playlists if you want recs they have a huge catalogue and it's so good #kpop questions #nct #nct w #text #answers #the tldr of this is nct is the backbone of 4th gen bc sm knows how to build a group

Akuma

Macaroom, Swimming Classroom (2018)

Genre: Electropop, trip hop, organic electronica, "future memories" Feel: Peaceful, industrial, adorable, ethereal, a little penetrating (if you're into that), Japanese as hell, artsy as fuck

When to Listen

You'd listen to Fiona Apple but that's a little intense right now.

You'd listen to industrial but that's a little intense right now.

It's a gorgeous day out and you'd like the feeling of warm sun on your face but that's a little intense right now.

A road trip during that lull where hype music is a little intense right now.

Why I Deem This Song Toasty

The Artsiness Factor

macaroom is weird.

And way cooler than me.

According to their Bandcamp:

macaroom is a Japanese electro-pop band founded by vocalist emaru and composer Asahi. macaroom makes and plays pop music adopted from “phonelyrics”, studied by Asahi. This relates to the sound function of words. The band also worked on a project to transform one of John Cage’s works into pop. 

What are phonelyrics? How do you transform John Cage into pop?
