For a long time in the film industry, there have been no major changes or revolutionary additions in terms of cinematic projects from major production companies or studios, until recently, when the world was taken by a sea of pink as the highly-anticipatedBarbiereleased in cinemas. And now, no matter where a person turns, they cannot help but see the film’s presence in pop culture around them.
And where on one hand, the entire world is praising and admiring the execution of director Greta Gerwig on the film, there are some who seem to not be too impressed by it. One of them happens to be an MCU star, who feels that the success of this film will give rise to more films in the future, which can be a bad move that’ll affect the entire industry.
MCU Star Randall Park Says The Success OfBarbieWill Send The Wrong Message To Hollywood
While it was all just fun and games when it was rumored that Warner Bros would be releasing a major live-action film with Mattel Inc’s iconic plastic doll, but onceBarbiewas announced, and recently released, it completely flipped the script, and now, aims to become the biggest blockbuster of the year. And while the film, which starsMargot Robbieas the titular character, might be winning everyone’s hearts, some are not so convinced with it, especially Randall Park, who believes that the industry will misinterpret the success of the film.
In a recent interview, theWandaVisonstar talked about how hard it was for him, especially belonging to the Asian community, to make it this far in the industry, and what are the things that followed as a result. Here, he also opened up about how Hollywood seems to get basic things wrong most of the time. Taking an example ofGreta Gerwig‘s latest directorial, the star pointed out how the success of the film will now give rise to more films being made around kids’ toys rather than women’s empowerment, which wasBarbie’smain goal. He said:
“Totally. I feel like, just in general, this industry is taking the wrong lessons. For example, Barbie is this massive blockbuster, and the idea is: Make more movies about toys!No. Make more movies by and about women!”
While Mattel Inc and Warner Bros. may have announced that there will be more Barbie films in the future, we are yet to see how the entire film industry responds to the film’s success.
What Is The Secret ToBarbie’sSuccess?
When the world first heard about the idea of a live-action Barbie film, people thought it was a ridiculous idea, but that exact same ridiculousness is what made the film so desirable for the audience to watch. Since the film was something new entirely, along with a perfect curation of the narrative, it became an instant hit with almost anyone who just wanted to watch something fun and entertaining while also being something unique and never seen before.
