Barbie, the most chosen movie by New Yorkers in 2023

‘Barbie’ exceeds 800 million dollars in revenue, entering the 100 highest-grossing films of all time at the expense of Harry Potter.

The Barbie movie was born as one of those difficult projects. Announced in 2014, it has undergone countless changes in its direction and its leading actress. First it was Jenny Bicks, the screenwriter for Sex and the City, who was going to take charge of the film; later, Amy Schumer would put herself under Diablo Cody’s orders; Later, Anne Hathaway was the actress who applied for the role, although the project was on standby. Now, the world’s most famous doll is played by Margot Robbie, and finally the movie, Barbie, was released in theaters on July 20.

Barbie doll is kicked out of Barbieland for not being perfect enough and then embarks on an adventure in the real world.

On any given day, Barbie’s colorful life changes when suddenly she discovers that her shower is running cold water, that she can’t fly into her pink convertible, that she wonders about death and that she no longer walks on tiptoes. Increasingly more human and less doll, Barbie will decide to travel to the real world to answer all her questions. Of course, she will be accompanied during this trip, by her inseparable, as well as clingy, Ken. He is only Ken, it has been possible to read over the months in the publicity that has accompanied the film. The male character is here relegated to the background.

The actress Margot Robbie is the one who puts herself in the skin of Barbie and maintained: “She comes with a lot of accessories! And lots of nostalgic connections. With it there are also many ways to approach the story.” People listen to Barbie and think they know what the movie is going to be.”

Ryan Gosling is in charge of giving life to Ken, Barbie’s eternal boyfriend. The film’s director said, “She’s everything, he’s just Ken.”

Along with the protagonists, they are accompanied by a great cast: Hari Nef and Kate McKinnon will take the role of the doll. In addition to them, Issa Rae, Emma Mackey, Sharon Rooney, Nicola Coughlan, Emerald Fenell and even Dua Lipa, among other actresses, will take on the role of different Barbies. In addition, there will be other characters, such as America Ferrera, as a human in the real world and Helen Mirren, the narrator of this story.

As for the male dolls, not only Gosling will be Ken. The actor is joined by Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, Michael Cera, Scott Evans and Kingsley Ben-Adir in the same role. That is to say, the universe planned by Greta Gerwig does not adhere to the much-discussed canons of beauty from the early years of this toy.

Greta Gerwig, the director of the film Barbie will be the third film that the filmmaker directs alone. Since she released Lady Bird in 2017 and Little Women in 2019, Gerwig has become one of the industry’s favorites and her very particular approach to the stories she decides to tell makes this next project generate even more curiosity.

The story and the script were written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach. The couple is responsible for the scripts for Frances Ha and Mistress America, which makes it possible to think of a future Barbie doll with a major personality crisis.

Margot Robbie herself has been involved from the first moment the film finally started at Warner Bros, as a producer and as a screenwriter. Together with Greta Gerwig, she has developed the story of her character, the typical Barbie, but also of all the others. The protagonist is a happy and independent woman, who does not need anyone else to function. Betting on Gerwig in the direction was a leap of faith for the studies involved. The total freedom of the creative duo that she forms with her husband Noah Baumbach was something that, in the words of the actress, took a lot of work and effort. It was achieved.

At the moment, all the opinions about the tape are being more than positive. For example, Variety editor Katcy Stephan praises Barbie as “perfect” and notes that “Greta Gerwig offers a nuanced commentary on what it means to be a woman in a whimsical, wonderful and hilarious romp that makes you laugh out loud.” ScreenRant’s Joseph Deckelmeier calls the film “funny, bombastic and very clever. Greta Gerwig aims high and wins.”

Also, the comment from Jamie Jirak, a writer at ComicBook.com, who described it as his favorite movie this year, was surprising in networks. “Gerwig has somehow exceeded my expectations. It addresses the positives and negatives of Barbie in a very nice way. Give Ryan Gosling an Oscar nomination. I say it seriously”. Of course, these criticisms leave the bar very high for the viewer, who will be able to judge for himself from July 20.

And, what has probably attracted the most attention, is that a large majority of viewers of the film are already asking for the Oscar for Gosling, not just the aforementioned Jirak. The Canadian actor has not fully exploited his comic vein in the cinema and it seems that seeing him having a great time has been more than refreshing.
