Actor Lisa Ray seemed less
bedazzled with the obsession over Greta Gerwig’s film and took to Twitter seeking answers.
Lisa Ray has attacked Greta Gerwig’s Barbie on Twtter on Friday evening and addressed the ‘woke’ millennials as she wrote, “Genuine question to the Woke millennials and Gen Zers: how are you not only not up in arms over the Barbie movie – which is really a huge marketing push for an agent of female oppression cloaked as a movie – but many of you are also participating in Barbiecore and posting cute photos in hot pink?”
She further added, “How?! She sees young influencers who raise the alarm against social inequalities and sexism and yet are fervently celebrating a movie that not matter how subversive, brings unwelcome Barbie standards and it’s legacy to the next generation of girls.”
Concluding her tweet, Lisa wrote that her understanding of the entire attention given to the Barbie trend is due to the marketing team of the film were linked with them. She can only think that marketing budgets got to them. Please enlighten.
