And, to answer Hans-Georg Moeller, I don't know or care what is authentic. If a product triggers joyful emotions by manipulating my emotions that evolved over millions of years, then I think that's clever of them.
Of course, since I know that the western industrial media complex seeks to sell me on stuff, then if I'm bothered I can choose to not engage.
The caveat being whether or not one has any real choice in a world where physics says everything is determined, even if the variables mean that one can't calculate the outcomes. So saying don't watch Barbie can lead to you watching it.
Yeah, studying physics and quantum mechanics does your head in.
You're welcome.
I have seen numerous clips and read reviews but am yet to watch it. Even if there is an explicit underlying message I don't agree with my impressions, so far, are that the film is witty and clever, and with plenty of eye candy from the lead actress. It is satire and any 'progressive' message is so overlaid by absurdist imagery that no-one is about to be 'brainwashed' by it. It is not a film for children, but adults.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. We will watch it as and when we can buy it on disc or it comes on Netflix or equivalent. It's just a fun movie.
