Barbie-2023

The message of this movie is identity, authenticity, and gender politics. The tones were feisty feminist. The mood in movie first starts with Barbie as a cheerful, kindhearted, and a naive character but as it progresses it changes as she learns about issues with the real-world women struggles.
