Factual error: Gloria's vehicle is a Chevrolet Blazer SS EV, but during the chase scene, her supposedly electric vehicle makes sounds like a normal gas engine.
Barbie (2023)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Greta Gerwig
Starring: Ryan Gosling, Margot Robbie, Ariana Greenblatt
The Barbies manage to distract all the Kens with infighting, preventing "Kendom" from coming to pass. The Kens learn to accept themselves as having self-worth beyond being "and Ken", realising they're enough as they are. The Barbies recognise their world needed some change, and grant Kens some lower-tier positions, with the narrator telling us "one day the Kens will have as much power and influence in Barbieland as women have in the real world." Gloria suggests a "normal Barbie" to Mattel's CEO, who rejects the idea before being told it will earn them money. Barbie has become increasingly unsure of her place in the world, and realises she wants to become human, joining the real world and joyfully making an appointment with a gynaecologist.

Gloria: It is literally impossible to be a woman. You are so beautiful and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow we're always doing it wrong. You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin. You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass. You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean. You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas. You're supposed to love being a mother but don't talk about your kids all the damn time. You have to be a career woman, but also always be looking out for other people. You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is insane, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining. You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood. But always stand out and always be grateful. But never forget that the system is rigged. So find a way to acknowledge that but also always be grateful. You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line. It's too hard! It's too contradictory and nobody gives you a medal or says thank you! And it turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault. I'm just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us. And if all of that is also true for a doll just representing women, then I don't even know.
