The movie Barbie divides people as who wears Birkenstock and high heels. It assumes the Barbie doll having a will of its own would rather choose high heels than Birkenstock, a clear euro-aesthetics of European people. It makes people think it has to wear one type of shoes in order to be happy. The broken narratives of self actualization has created a powerful figure in Barbie who prefers lies than truths. Her intention to save the world from abusive men has been shown bright and clear in her taunting of ken doll. She doesn’t seem to faze from the adversity but kowtow to the authority figures such as toy company executives, police and government people. Where did she gets this crazy agency of her own? Is it because she was hurt by the girl who played her? Now that a negotiation of Barbie 2 is in the work. Everybody is walking on eggshells around those celebrity actresses and actors who demands more money. Is birkenstock back in fashion? Etc.
