In the new “Barbie” movie, the title character, played by Margot Robbie, lives in a perfect fantasy world with no war, violence, or conflict. Her life revolves around wardrobe changes and hanging out with her perfect friends in her perfect pink plastic dream house.
But in one scene, as reality starts to creep into the fashion doll’s consciousness, she blurts out a question in the middle of a loud, upbeat dance party with all her Barbie friends.
“Do you guys ever think about dying?” she asks suddenly.
The dancers suddenly stop dancing.
The room goes quiet.
The music stops with a scratch, like a phonograph needle dragging across a 33 rpm record.
It’s a defining moment in the movie, launching the character in a new direction with real-life choices and real consequences.
The movie has only been out for less than two weeks, but it’s already inspired a Barbie boatload of tweets, memes, parodies and social media reels.
Even Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg joined in the fun this week with a “Barbie” reel of her own, playing off the conversation-stopping scene described above to make a comment on — what else? — yet another hypothetical environmental disaster.
In the short clip, the music from the “Barbie” dance party scene plays as Thunberg and several friends jam to the beat. But the text superimposed over the screen alters the dialogue considerably.
