Whether you liked, disliked or are indifferent toward The Barbie Movie, I thought after viewing it that there were some positive lessons in the movie and some points I felt more doubt about. Overall, the movie's premise is that, in Barbie Land, the women have accomplished countless advancements for womankind. They believe that because they've done so much there, it's that way everywhere. But Barbie discovers that in the real world things are not as they are in Barbie Land. Similarly, Ken also discovers he's treated very differently in the real world than he is in Barbie Land.

In reflecting on these overall takeaways, I liked how the characters powerfully didn't self-deprecate and they supported one another from the heart. That was refreshing. Then, on the other hand, one of the things I didn't really like was the way the indoctrinated and not indoctrinated used the current system to try to change the system. I question if we should be doing that in the real world, and what else we're doing that may only be perpetuating stereotypes. Let's talk about this and a whole lot more.

"It's also rooted in the collective misinterpretations about who we're all supposed to be… What kind of judgments do we hold against each other?... What is it that we do that separates us from one another–that we perpetuate the stereotypes that we resent?... It's so baked in." – Kris Plachy
