Excerpts for a 'Mormon Land' podcast about what the 'Barbie' movie says to Latter-day Saint women and men.
. The award-winning author and editor-in-chief of Exponent II, a magazine for and about Latter-day Saint women, discusses those questions and more.
Absolutely…In fact, [director] Greta Gerwig herself mentioned this even before the movie came out in an interview with Vogue. She said Barbie was invented first, then Ken was invented after Barbie to burnish Barbie’s position in our eyes and in the world. That kind of creation myth is the opposite of the creation myth in Genesis.
Yes, this message of leaving innocence, of going through the wilderness of human experience and maturing all along the way, it’s all there. One friend of mine mentioned that as soon as she got out of it, she was moved to tears and said, “This is the temple movie I wish I would have had.” This is where the Latter-day Saints’ take on Eve specifically is… It would have been a total tragedy for Eve to have stayed in the Garden [of Eden] or for Barbie to stay in Barbieland.
Ryan Gosling does such a fantastic job portraying Kevin . Because his acting is so over the top, it’s easier to spot and laugh at. Of course, a man with no medical experience shouldn’t be able to walk into a hospital and perform surgery. This parallel to the LDS Church, definitely doesn’t feel completely comedic to me when I actually sit down to think about it. I’ve definitely been in situations at church where I haven’t felt less than my male counterparts.
