: Barbie - Gloria’s monologue
: It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful, and so smart,
: and it kills me that you don’t think you’re good enough. Like, we have to
: always be extraordinary, but somehow we’re always doing it wrong.
: You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin.
: You have to have money, but you can’t ask for money because that’s crass.
: You have to be a boss, but you can’t be mean. You have to lead, but you can’
: t squash other people’s ideas. You’re supposed to love being a mother, but
: don’t talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman,
: but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men’
: s bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you’re accused
: of complaining.
: You’re supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt
: them too much or that you threaten other women because you’re supposed to be
: a part of the sisterhood. But always stand out and always be grateful. But
: never forget that the system is rigged. So find a way to acknowledge that but
: also always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show
: off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never
: get out of line. It’s too hard! It’s too contradictory and nobody gives you
: a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you
: doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.
: I’m just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie
: herself into knots so that people will like us. And if all of that is also
: true for a doll just representing women, then I don’t even know. (Greta
: Gerwig)
凭印象打
设定上芭比们是优势性别 占据所有房屋 而Ken(s)只能露宿街头
芭比们看到扁平足 或 劈腿(指伸展动作)芭比就排斥叫别人怪(weird)芭比
为何这些 privileged 芭比听到妈妈这些关于 身材(thin) 外貌(pretty) 等焦虑和抱怨会
成功被 deprogram??? WHY??? 情节说服力差
更合理的觉醒可以是被压迫过的 Ken(s) 因为他们可以感同身受 (related)
或是 programed 芭比在 Kendom 遇到类似的困境 (指 hard to being a woman
可惜并没有演出hard 而且Kens占领房屋后照样让芭比们住)
退一万步 妈妈和其演讲这么万能 为何好长一段时间没有让主角经典款芭比觉醒呢?
主角应该早就能够感同身受才对 甚至不必等到演讲的时间点
(设定上娃娃主人可以浅移默化影响芭比 但看来这个设定只是一开始推动剧情
后来就丢了)
何况 明显妈妈跟女儿的紧张关系也是妈妈的压力来源 但这段大演讲也没有好好讨论
being Mom 的部分 只是顾著聚焦 being women FOR MEN 的部分
检言之 关于 parenting 的探讨 恐怖片 M3GAN 都深刻的多
简言之 妈妈和女儿的作用就是向观众说教 对人物性格塑造与情节发展 只有非常浅的作用
看似侃侃而谈的大道理 听起来却像是连话(指Cinematic language)都不会说了
以 satire 的标准而言 太粗糙啦
