What toy would you like to throw repeatedly against a brick wall?
During the Telephone Game scene in Barbie, the cadre of male, C-suite, Mattel executives demonstrate clear verbal communication and active listening—passing the message along unmolested. This children’s game more often teaches grade schoolers that misunderstandings lead to gossip and rumors. Gossip and rumors among the Barbies are exactly what drove Weird Barbie—molested in more ways than she can count—to become a Barbieland outcast. I’d like to throw all those Barbies repeatedly against a brick wall for how they treated Weird Barbie. But the weirdest thing about the entire film is how a toy Stereotypical Barbie transforms into a human Barbara Handler before proudly announcing, “I’m here to see my gynecologist.” Is this meant to symbolize that menarche is the time when girls stop playing with Barbies? Forget symbolism. Focus on what we’d be able to objectively see if the film weren’t PG-13. What physical process occurs the moment Barbie decides she wants to transition to Barbara? Are openings magically created down there, along with all her reproductive, urinary, and gastrointestinal inner workings? I don’t understand the logistics, but I’ll actively listen to any weird explanation.
