Barbie’s Montage Scene, Explained

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is a poignant tale of womanhood – one which explores the complexities of human emotion. Although the movie begins in the utopia of Barbie Land, irrepressible thoughts of death and the fear of cellulite forces Barbie (Margot Robbie) to venture into the Real World. Although the movie is crammed with comic moments, it certainly doesn’t shy away from being an emotional rollercoaster, which is why Barbie is going to be a topic of conversation for a long time coming. Barbie’s celebrated reception has proved that, once again, Gerwig has created a hugely significant piece of cinema – something which is encapsulated within the movie’s emotional montage scene.
