After the real Barbie, social networks claim the Ken 'fofisano'
Margot Robbie
faces a challenge that transcends the big screen.
Or so we hope, because her new role, giving life to the mythical
Barbie
, can be a gift ... or a poisoned candy.
The film, which will turn the famous doll into a live-action character, cannot start from a better base, with a script written by two
Oscar
nominees
-
Greta Gerwig
(
'Little Women'
), who also seems to be directing it, and
Noah Baumbach
(
'Story of a marriage'
) - and with the actress with very clear ideas about how she wants her character to be. "Well, it comes with a lot of baggage and a lot of nostalgic connections, but with that comes a lot of exciting ways to attack it as well," he explains. "People usually listen to
Barbie
and think, 'I know what that movie is going to be.' And then they hear that
Greta Gerwig
He's writing it and directing it and they say, 'Oh well, maybe I don't know.' But this is not going to be how you are imagining it. Our goal, whatever you are thinking, is to give you something totally different, what you didn't know you wanted ... ", says the actress.
Although we do know what we want.
Because the most famous doll of all has long since ceased to be a model of impossible curves and measurements.
Now
Barbie
is a biologist, athlete, astronaut, computer scientist (and so on up to 200 different professions) and fights for the inclusion of gender and religion.
A doll that has turned 62 years old and has adapted to her time leaving behind the absolute thinness and the impeccable blonde hair.
In 2021,
Barbie
can be tall or short, with wide or narrow hips, thick eyebrows, black or Asian, androgynous, wheelchair-bound, or even sport vitiligo.
"What makes us different makes us beautiful," he claims from his social networks.
Because yes, this doll also has Instagram.

Nothing to do with those first unreal beauty stereotypes that objectified women. "With dolls that present a variety of skin tones, body types and disabilities, we help children understand and celebrate the importance of representation," they explain from
Mattel
, the company that launched
Barbie on
the market in March 1959, during a toy fair in
New York
.
And it seems that
Margot Robbie
wants the same and that this new Barbie is going to arrive with a good dose of
'body positive'
and a reflection on how the role of women in society has changed since then and what is her place.
"Can we really honor the fan base, in addition to surprising people? Because if we do it and also provoke a thoughtful conversation we will be being as effective as possible," says the actress.
From pop icon to feminist icon
A challenge of which few details are known at the moment.
Although the short synopsis that is announced promises: a
different
Barbie
doll
is expelled from Barbieland for not being perfect enough, which leads her to live an adventure in the real world dragging her own conflicts and imperfections, the same ones that make her unique and give shape your strengths.
An argument to turn the doll that was a pop icon from the hand of
Andy Warhol
and the cover of
'Time'
magazine
in 2017 into a reflection of the struggle of women around the world in 2021 with slogans such as 'Change the rules' or 'Find your voice'.
