The movie "Barbie" is a super meaningful choice of scenery! Why is Venice Beach a real-world gateway?

After the release of "Barbie", the world has fallen into the pink glamor! However, few people know how wonderful it is to have Venice Beach in Los Angeles as the gateway between Barbie Island and the real world! Let's take a look at the story behind it!

(I would spoil a little. Just a little!)

The movie "Barbie" depicts the heroine "Barbie" who one day has a "death" thought, which causes strange and unusual things to happen in her beautiful Barbie Land.

To restore everything, she must travel to the real human world and find her toy owner.

The final step from Barbie Island to the real world is to slip into Barbie's colorful inline skates all the way toVenice Beach!.

But first, let's talk about what happened when Barbie and Kenny came to the real world.

The perfect Barbie with broken self-worth.

When Barbie comes to the real world, she radiates a positive energy that is out of place.

When she thinks the perfect Barbie doll can bring smiles to everyone's face, she meets a little girl who criticizes Barbie and a bad businessman who wants to put her in a giant box!

What's even scarier is that when she returns to Barbie Island, she's shocked to find that Kenny,who's been baptized in the real world and has begun to worship the power of masculinity..

He even took away Barbie's home so that all women would lose themselves and become objects looking up to men in their lives.

The world is no longer centered around her.

"I'll never be pretty or perfect again." Barbie sat down on the floor in frustration and cried.

There's a saying that there are three growing pains in life, and the first one is when you realize"I'm not the center of the world.".

If you've had this experience, I'm sure you'll understand Barbie's feelings better-confusion, rupture, doubt, and extreme unease about the value of her existence.

You don't know how to believe in yourself anymore. You don't know what to live forAnd in the midst of struggle after struggle, you find a new order and value identity for yourself.

(However, there are different voices, genders, and ethnic groups in this world, and there is no one at the center.

As for how Barbie finds the balance between herself and others, I'll let you watch the movie for yourself 🎬~)

You and Barbie are not the only ones who feel lost and searching for something like this. In the 20th century, there was a large group of young people like this on Venice Beach in Los Angeles, California──

TheBeat Generation"

The Beat Generation on Venice Beach after World War II.

In fact,the Beat Generationis like theAmerican version ofthe Seven Wise Men of the Bamboo Grove..

They were both in a time of war and turmoil, with unethical rulers, and they both rebelled against society with their debauchery──

The"Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" appeared at the end of the Han Dynasty in the midst of decay, rebellions, natural and man-made disasters, and bloody crackdowns by those in power who preached the rule of law and filial piety;

The "American Beat Generation" emerged during the post-World War II Cold War period, under the influence ofMcCarthyism(like the White Terror in Taiwan, the American version of the Cultural Revolution), intellectuals were viciously slandered, lost their freedom of speech, and the society was immersed in an atmosphere of extreme repression and fear.

The anti-communist and xenophobic activities represented byMcCarthyisminvolved all aspects of American politics, education, and culture, and was known as the "American Cultural Revolution", which involved a large number of people.(Photosource)

Young Americans who grew up in this era have been called the"Silent Generation". They were traditional, old-fashioned, and mostly devoutly Christian or Catholic, which led to the prevalence of conservatism.

Such conservatism has given rise to another group of subcultural youths who challenge the dominant values of society──"the Beat Generation"

In the 1950's, they used outlandish behaviors (drugs, sex, fancy clothes, foul language, defiance of authority, pursuit of freedom) in the West Coast of the United States and the Venice of Los Angeles to give a strong conflict and challenge to the mainstream society.

This group of young people is full of excellent creators, and each of their works is extremely unique and original.

For example, the classicJack Kerouac's 《On the road》describes the journey and adventure of exploring oneself and finding freedom, which awakens the inner longing of many people.

Later, under the influence of the Beat Generation in the United States,the hippie movement and the anti-war wave were promoted..

LA's Venice, which was just trying to imitate Italy's Venice, has establishedits own free spirit!

Conclusion: Creating Your Own Meaning

At the end of the movie, the final step in Barbie's redefinition of her self-worth is when she decides to enter the real world of mankind and say:

I want to be a part of the people that make meaning, not the thing that is made.

.

The mood is similar to that of the Beat Generation on Venice Beach in the 1950s!

(Though I don't know if that's what the director was thinking 😂)

But knowing this, doesn't it make you realize even more that having Barbie Island and the gateway to the real world at Venice Beach in Los Angeles is really a fantastic choice!

Whether it's Barbie rollerblading in the sun, or in real life, people skateboarding wildly on Venice Beach, or the art and clothing on Venice's Broadway, they're all telling the world that──

"Live your life the way you want to live it, and you don't need anyone's permission! 🌺"

May we all be as brave as them in our lives!
