The Barbie Movie Review: Nostalgia Reimagined

07/25/23 • 68 min

In this episode of the Platinum Perspective Podcast, hosts Sarah and Dr. Megan, both millennials who grew up with Barbies, come together to review the latest Barbie movie! As a child psychologist and a former child educator, now a beauty industry executive and mothers of little girls, they approach the movie from various lenses, eager to explore its depth, address Barbie's controversial past, and examine how it challenges traditional gender roles.
Sarah and Dr. Megan start the podcast by expressing their excitement over the new Barbie movie. Having grown up with Barbie dolls, they were initially skeptical about the portrayal of beauty standards and gender roles in historical Barbie culture. However, this time, they were pleasantly surprised to see the movie delving into more meaningful themes.
One of the most striking aspects of the new Barbie movie was its acknowledgment of the criticisms and controversies that surrounded Barbie in the past. The hosts discuss how, in previous generations, Barbie was often criticized for promoting unrealistic beauty standards and perpetuating traditional gender roles. However, this movie cleverly confronts those issues and takes a bold step towards making amends. They highlight the empowering and diverse portrayal of Barbie and her friends.
In this insightful and engaging episode, Sarah and Dr. Megan deliver a compelling review of the new Barbie movie. They appreciate its depth, exploration of societal issues, and its positive impact on audiences, but advise that it is not a children's movie as it deals with mature themes like death and depression. As advocates for positive child development and empowerment, they commend the film for challenging outdated norms and celebrating the essence of being true to oneself. Through their discussion, listeners gain a profound understanding of how the movie fuses nostalgia with self-realization to create a memorable and transformative viewing experience.
