Barbie is officially out, and online conversation is already taking shape over the film's direction. In today's society, sadly, we can no longer sit back and enjoy a movie for what it is. Either studios inject their politics into the film, or Journalists find a way to do it. They will find a way to blast a movie for not reflecting their view of the world, or they will read meaning where there is none. The recent Barbie movie is the perfect example of that. This IP has a long-standing history and might be one of the most iconic names in the entertainment industry.
When it was announced that a live-action movie would be made, it immediately caught the attention of everyone. Fans of the IP had high hopes for their film, mixed in with nervousness. Modern-day Hollywood tends to reimagine movies and update them for a modern audience. This means changing everything that made the original special. Thus fans had no idea of what to expect from this new film. Many expected the worst unsure of where the new Barbie would look like her former self. There was a strong possibility that they would go the Disney Live Action route and cast someone completely different.
