While the trailer still doesn’t show too many plot details, it does end with Ken and Barbie crashing into the real world. This, plus the inclusion of Will Ferrell as a businessman, implies that Barbie and Ken are dolls come to life and will become ‘fishes out of water’ when in the real world.
And, knowing that Greta Gerwig (Ladybird, Little Women) is behind the adaptation, the film could also commentate on the roles of men and women. Given that the colourful characters posters detail each Barbie job/role but, with the Ken posters, only say ‘he’s Ken’ could imply that Ken and Barbie will have their eyes open to various possibilities that they didn’t think of.
‘Barbie’ was a film I was not expecting to be interested in, but it looks like it will carry a self-awareness as well as a social commentary. Plus, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling look like they’ll have fantastic onscreen chemistry. The look of the film is even completely accurate to the brand, which would contrast with the real world. The film looks like a fun and interesting ‘fish out of water’ story and is one I will be, surprisingly, seeing this summer.
