I have read quite a few articles about it, about how apparently, the storyline follows barbie being kicked out of a ‘doll’ world and it just seems to be mocking Barbie and not taking her character seriously? I also cannot really relate to Margot Robbie, even though I’m sure she is wonderful in every other movie.
I’m not really interested in seeing any live action movies based on her. I really adore the animation so much more and would rather watch Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures any day.
It actually upsets me that there will be a live action and I think I’m going to avoid it but I’m not sure.
Barbie isn’t like that. Not to me, anyway. She isn’t silly or a joke. She isn’t self obsessed or only into materialistic things and she certainly isn’t in some kind of fake doll make belief world. I know she isn’t a real person, but in my mind, she sort of is. She is kind and incredible and just lives an average life with her family and every day brings something new for her.
I feel like the movie is going to portray her as something she isn’t.
