A candy pink fever has invaded London (UK) this week for thepremiere of the Barbie movie. Dress-code respected by fans and glamorous cast on the pink carpet. Margot Robbie brings the mythical doll to life. We find her in Barbieland, where all the accessories of a plastic world are present. “There is a lot of dancing and humor”, advances comedian Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken. It’s a watered-down universe, but Barbie will experience some malfunctions.
A toy that has evolved with the times
The doll will then have to confront the real world, not so rosy. The stereotype of the perfect woman that she represents no longer really fits with the evolutions of our society. Barbie is modernizing. “She is the symbol of change through time”, says Greta Gerwig, director of the film. 64 years ago, the little doll allowed many little girls to imagine their life as women. Barbie was able to change profession, morphology and skin color, without having needed her Ken.
