Barbie (2023)
Confusing message for dolls or humans?
I enjoyed the film more for its choreography and the characters' sympathy than for the confusing message. Is it that Ken should understand he was created to be Barbie's friend forever? Is it that a man in love must surrender to a second place? I hope I can read the actual purpose of the story from the writers.
Barbieland is shown as a happy monotonous human-like world with empty containers resembling our not so happy monotonous real life where men condescend with a higher ranked male model, something a second rank character wished to be back at his fantasy world. Please, if anyone finds out the actual mess-age let me know.
IMDb on the Scene - Interviews: Shotgun Wedding (2023)
Nope nope.
I stopped watching this film halfway through the end. I am used to seeing a more dramatic JLO characterizing a suffering wife, a daring woman, or a woman in love; only this time the story didn't fall in her usual characters. I doubt she invented a new movie genre, this film is, in essence, the stereotype of Mexican movies where actors don't stop yelling, the action goes too fast, and the story does not have a real purpose. Josh and JLO make a great duo in the film, but Josh also had to change his typical soldier-like image to fit in this new type of character. I am sorry, I didn't like Shotgun Wedding as much as I liked most of JLO's previous films.
