The Barbie movie. It is a snapshot in time look at our culture and will make no sense to future generations.

Tbh there's lots of stuff in the Barbie movie that I would consider timeless, especially the feminist aspects of it. What parts of the movie do you think applies to the 2020s but doesn't apply to, say, 1990 or 1960?

EDIT: I may have interpreted this comment too pessimisticly-- this question is about the future, not the past. Maybe, hopefully, societal views on gender will change in the future enough that the Barbie movie will become outdated

I like your second take. I like to think 50 years from now it will be used to teach about the things we do/did wrong.
