Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Knowing Gerwig, those themes might make it to the movie. But I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't either since hindi papayag Mattel na ilicense movie nila just to have their company criticized.

I don't mind spoilers. Kapag napanood mo na, please lemmy know if I'll be disappointed or not.

Here's Phil Dy's review of Barbie on Letterboxd.

An excerpt of the review

Here is a movie that asks what it means to be human, filtering that question through the experiences of a doll living in a fantasy world built on the fantasy ideal represented by Barbie: a world of unrealistically beautiful women who can be anything. More specifically, it asks what it means to be a woman, bursting that fantasy ideal as it shuttles off its main character into our world, and discovers that what she thought she represented didn't seem to mean a whole lot in a world mired in patriarchy.

Thanks. I expected that naman, given it's Gerwig. At expected ko din na may commentary sa capitalism, given the characters in suits.

I just want more 😔
