Barbie, the wholesome American icon based on a sexpot German doll?

Why all the fuss over Schumer in the role of the iconic toy? It’s a winning situation for the actor, her fans, Sony Pictures and Mattel. The only losers are the misogynists

There is a certain perspective on the current wave of female-led movies – the recent Ghostbusters remake and the similarly pitched forthcoming reworking of Ocean’s Eleven – that we’ll call, for simplicity, the Ernie Hudson rule. It suggests that these movies really ought not to exist at all, but if they must exist, let them feature gorgeous young women primed to appeal to male filmgoers’ base instincts.

Hudson, who played Winston Zeddemore in the original 1984 Ghostbusters, typified such thinking when he told the Telegraph in 2014 that the new version of the classic supernatural comedy, then just an apple in director Paul Feig’s eye, was a “bad idea”. “I love females. I hope that if they go that way at least they’ll be funny, and if they’re not funny at least hopefully it’ll be sexy.”

The Ghostbusters remake was pretty “sexy”, in its own way. But most of the movie’s va-va-voom came from Kristen Wiig’s hilarious meta-infused objectification of Chris Hemsworth’s Kevin the receptionist and Kate McKinnon’s inoffensive flirting. Charlie’s Angels with proton packs it certainly was not. And why would anyone expect it to be? The original Ghostbusters – Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Zeddemore and Harold Ramis – did not take down Gozer and his minions while wearing skimpy, tight-fitting clothing. So where did “sexy” come from for the all-female rejig?

Hudson’s comment was stereotypical of a Hollywood system that values male stars for their charisma, charm and screen presence, while continuing to define women by their youth and vital statistics. Hence the barrage of criticism greeting the appointment of Gal Gadot as the new Wonder Woman, and now the disgruntlement in certain darker corners of the internet and Twittersphere over the reported casting of Amy Schumer as Barbie in a new live-action movie about the famously hourglass-figured doll. Presumably the men’s rights types who got themselves in a tizzy over Charlize Theron’s supposed upstaging of Tom Hardy in Mad Max: Fury Road, would have been less upset if the South African actor had been in full glossy, demure and polished Dior mode, rather than appearing as a one-armed skinhead.

One can only imagine the rigid world view that inspires such anger. Clearly a Hollywood where Ghostbusters and Ocean’s Eleven movies feature all-male casts and Wonder Woman and Barbie are played by buxom 20-somethings with tiny waists is the only thing holding some people back from apoplexies of outrage. Who knew that upon such curious details were built so many filmgoers’ sense that everything is right in the world?

The good news is that there is no bad news, for Schumer’s casting means we might just be getting a Barbie movie that rises above the toy’s rather naff roots. One can only imagine that the executives at Mattel saw the fabulously affectionate job Pixar did with the sartorially obsessed doll in the Toy Story movies and decided to take an even bigger risk with their brand. And why not? The Lego Movie has done nothing but favours for the Danish toy-maker.

Schumer brings with her a veneer of spiky feminist cool, not to mention a singular mode of warm-hearted yet hard-hitting satire. She challenged attitudes towards female promiscuity with the fiercely honest and surprisingly joyful Trainwreck, but no one should expect a Schumer-led Barbie film to veer into such obviously adult territory – because it doesn’t need to. Even without her trademark ribald humour, the comic’s involvement on a creative level (she has been given permission to polish the script in her own image) transforms a project that would surely have struggled at the box office – Barbie movies have previously been TV-only affairs – into one with serious buzz.

Moreover, Schumer embodies the kind of healthy female empowerment that Mattel increasingly seems to wants to tap into, if the company’s introduction of a new fuller-figured doll earlier this year is anything to go by. And the American actor gets to introduce herself to a younger audience that might not have been aware of her work. Everybody wins.

Except, perhaps, those who would rather see an actor with more over-the-top proportions playing the doll. But unless I’m much mistaken, these are hardly genuine Barbie fans who have been crying themselves to sleep at night over the prospect of Schumer’s appointment. There are no childhoods being ruined here, only the possibility that a much-loved plaything might soon be better known for being played by the hottest kick-ass comic in Hollywood right now, rather than for having enormous bosoms.

Look Im the biggest sperg in the world, I dont understand why anybody gives a fuck that a fat girl is playing Barbie in the movie? I didnt care about Ghostbusters either, but at least the fags then had a facade of an argument saying they were changing the original, but Barbie has always been about selling things to little girls. This isn't really any different.

Thinking about it more, if she WASNT fat Barbie, what would be the point of the movie? A hot girl/actress doing everyday things?

I just see it as yet another fine opportunity to make fat jokes at the expense of fat Amy Schumer. I always kinda saw her as one of the garbage media's (and to an extent, our PC dogshit culture's) "chosen ones" and I don't begrudge these commentators their potshots.

But it is dishonest for these guys to fake pearl-clutch over her being a bad role model for little girls, or "bastardizing a cultural icon", or whatever else they're going on about. No one gives a shit that it's Barbie (and nor should they).

You can tell those first two fuckers are fat, doughy blobs just from their face in the YouTube thumbnail. That first guy is way fatter than Schumer.

They're literally nostalgic for their "glory days" of sperging about Ghostbusters and desperately trying to revive it.
 
I'm very excited for a Barbie who talks about slutting it up with all her friends and openly discussing her vaginal discharge and farts in an unfunny and awkward way.

I can't help but wonder what the target audience for this movie is supposed to be. Women who played with Barbies and saw the older movies won't like it for bastardizing their childhood memories, any sane parent wouldn't let their little girl watch something with Amy "Industry Bicycle" Schumer in it, and neither men nor little boys will care because Barbies neither have guns nor are they Dinosaurs.

i don't see to whom is this film targeted at. i mean, little girls won't watch it bc their parents wouldn't want them exposed to vagina jokes and they already have their dolls and movies on video/tv, and no conscious adult would go watch a barbie movie.

And teen girls and young adults won't give a shit because they've just grown out of their doll phase.

Do nostalgic 30-something hipsters wishing to relive their childhood have enough cash to save this film?

Attention, identity group. Before you write off current year as a net loss for identity group, know this: Sony Pictures is in talks to sell you an identity group movie.

That sentence is amazing. "Trump's president and civil rights are poised to go down the shitter, but don't worry here's a movie about white feminism"
 
Everyone thought we were done with Mr. Sony's wild ride when the Ghostbusters shitshow ended. Too bad the exit ended up here.

At just another entrance to the ride
