Margot Barbie - Blog Posts

Okay I've watched Barbie (yes I'm late but shhh).

This movie had me in TEARS. I went to the cinema with my mother and my little brother, and when I tell you that I cried, it's not like was teary, I really cried like a baby. And I hugged my mom so tight after the movie.

Its just and fucking masterpiece and everything about it was beautiful. The speech of Sacha's mother was powerful, and I do not regret going to the movie with my mom.

The fact that Barbie felt uncomfortable while rollerskating when Ken felt admired was the most relatable thing ever.

I just loved it from the beginning to the end.

(And my brother just said it sucked, so we told him that he didn't understand the movie at all) (he is 13 btw)

i love the fact that Weird Barbie is weird.

And I mean this in the sense that, they show the impact the real world has had on this toy, this inanimate object that those playing with viewed as devoid of emotion, incomprehensibly inhuman.

But the alterations, the pain she’s endured has stuck with her, become a part of her. People label her by her struggles, by what she’s been through. Externally, she is different, and it doesn’t matter how she feels internally because she will forever be labeled by her struggles.

She’s embraced it and she’s accepted this piece of herself as a whole, even helping those who perceive themselves as “weird” or “malfunctioning”. She knows how it feels to be out of place, to be thought of in this negative light because you don’t adhere to how Barbie is meant to be — perfect.

She has struggled and her struggles make her wonderful, make her the person she is, that is her real beauty

Yet in the end, Weird Barbie is as much a Barbie as anyone else, as much an embodiment of perfect as one can hope to achieve.

Barbie is Barbie, and no matter her struggles, she is perfect as she is, because perfection is a state of mind. Perfection is what you make it. It is flaws, it is pain and tears. But it also love, it is light and it the happiness you feel knowing you are with flaw — but flaw is what makes you unapologetically yourself, it is what makes you Barbie.

Thank you Greta.
