The 'Barbie' Movie's Venice Beach
Life in Barbie's Barbie Land is plastic, fantastic, and very pink. But after one of the dolls (Margot Robbie) experiences an existential crisis, she leaves her utopian, colorful home behind and travels to the gritty reality of Venice Beach. The transition fills Barbie with curiosity and wonder—there are real visual and thematic contrasts between the dual realms, and they become even more apparent when the accompanying Ken (Ryan Gosling) learns that men run this world. As Barbie explores, she realizes that the real thing, despite its flaws, may be more appealing than artificiality.
