Barbie: The Screenplay

I think reading the screenplay made me see the faults in the movie overall. Having it written by both Gerwig and Baumbach it still establishes this heavy male narrative and perspective and the overall plot and assumed message of the movie becomes redundant. Even the descriptions lean into and devolve the movie references and idea from male lead and view films. Heists movie are used multiple times in while recently we've seen a shift and making way for more women lead heist films, it's still very male present and predominantly consists of a crew and production of men. It establishes this idea that truly women can't have any space of their own . It's up to women to claim something whether it was something original or not, and even then it's up to them when men try to take over and make a mess of things, for the women to clean up the mess and apologize even though they're not responsible.
