▲ 50 ▼ The more I think about it, the more the 5 minute car commercial in Barbie bugs me. (feddit.de) submitted 3 years ago by GCostanzaStepOnMe@feddit.de to c/moviesandtv@lemmy.film 51 comments fedilink hide all child comments It's like in a music video when the artist suddenly pulls out the new Samsung explosive device, and your heart sinks a little. Not only is it necessary for even decent movies to be packaged within some IP, they also seem to rely on selling ad space within the movie itself. Very bleak.

And the CEO pooh-poohing a 'regular barbie' before immediately reversing course when he's told it'll be super profitable. Honestly it's got shades of the Charlie Brown Christmas Special, that weird dichotomy of Charlie Brown depressed by the rampant consumerism of the holiday season bookended by Hallmark ads with the new peanuts ornaments. But the lesson the special teaches is to find your own meaning in the holiday, and that it is inviolable by the consumerism so long as it still means something else to you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) I'm glad that you got it exactly right. ☺️ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LoamImprovement@beehaw.org 2 points 3 years ago There are so many good conversations going on in that movie, everyone I talked to who had watched it said it was good but I was not prepared for just how many topics it covers so artfully. And god, I could listen to Ferrera's monologue over and over again. permalink fedilink source parent
