#not that stanley kubrick movies are bad but i think he also wasnt the greatest towards his actresses either

Opening with a parallel to 2001: A Space Odyssey is not only very funny for Barbie but also I think it carries the message of how female directors don't receive the same amount respect for their work male directors like Stanley Kubrick get from the offset. Like I can't name a single female director with the same sort of filmbro cult reverence Kubrick has. (Barbie touches on this again with the Godfather joke too). But also making that statement while premiering the same day as Oppenheimer, mainly hyped because of Christopher Nolan, a male director who has a bad track record with female characters and has said cult following really makes it stronger.

#not that stanley kubrick movies are bad but i think he also wasnt the greatest towards his actresses either #and Christopher Nolan movies are not for me. they're all bland and not in a good way plus he kind plagiarized Inception so... #interstellar is good though. mainly the soundtrack. #I can't stop thinking about Barbie #barbie #barbie spoilers #barbie movie #barbie 2023
