Tiny Shoulders, Rethinking Barbie (2018)
You're right, there is a problem that needs to be addressed...
Obesity in America is 36.5% of the population, another 32.5% is overweight. In all, more than two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight or obese. This is a MAJOR issue.
Barbies WEIGHT wasn't the problem.
She's so much more than her body and if you can only think about her body when you look at her, the issue is really on YOU.
The thing with Barbie is that she's perfect, she's gorgeous & she's a career woman.
Girls SHOULD aspire to have these goals which some perceive as unrealistic, because, frankly, it's no more unrealistic than a woman president (something we still have never seen).

The documentary was only interesting to me for the history of the doll, as well as a review of the intent of the doll by the creator. When I purchase Barbies in the future for my daughter it will be online VINTAGE 80's & 90's Barbies ONLY.
Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020)
Disappointed
Setting a proper scene for a movie plot is key. I knew there would be no Jared Leto 'Joker' scenes but that was ultimately the most disappointing part. I loved the two characters together so much in Suicide Squad & wanted to at the very least see him be horrible to her so you could really grasp the feelings of dislike towards Mista J.
They were clearly going for female empowerment / heavy anti-man theme by showing that EVERY SINGLE MAN in Harley's life leaves or betrays her. That's not really the type of message I agree with.
I also felt the poor, pitiful, drunk, terrible dancing imaging they used to set the scene was god awful to watch. It was a pathetic woman in the worst (most basic) way.
I feel like Harley wouldn't go through the "traditional" stages of a breakup, as she is anything but traditional & she would have had more of a vengeance mood.
One to get MAD - not SAD.
