    Walden Bello’s review of Barbie favorably compares it to Marxism for Gen Z.

    Even though it’s an ideal world, Barbieland is not seamlessly constructed. There’s a crack in Barbie’s world — she wakes up and finds out she has cellulite and flat feet — and she is forced to come down to earth to be “fixed” and discovers that the world is full of contradictions and conflicts that the elite, the black-suited directors of Mattel, don’t want people to grapple with and solve collectively, by focusing their attention instead on the ideal relationships of Barbieland. Barbie’s unexpected appearance threatens the long-standing equilibrium between the ideal and the real.

      Feeling ko talaga marami din dapat iunpack dyan sa movie na yan. Nadadamihan lang ako sa tao sa mga sinehan kaya baka sa streaming ko na panoorin.
