The most famous doll in the world has someone to represent her or at least someone to bring her story to the big screen, it’s Barbie, and Reese Witherspoon’s participation in a project that is still brewing. The news was known on Monday, November 30th, when it began to speculate the participation of the actress in the film and so far It is believed to be through the direction role or perhaps interpretive; as we refer to her famous film Legally Blonde, which has had two films premieres, and the actress expects to be three.
Basically, we know that Witherspoon has been researching the story and how they carried out the creation of the doll, so it is very possible that perhaps it is going to be about the biography of Ruth Handler, the woman who is considered responsible for giving life to Barbie.
Barbie is a toy created in 1959 by Mattel, Inc., and Ruth Handler is considered its creator, because she discovered through her daughter the needs of girls to have dolls more like they wanted to be; a blonde girl, very beautiful and slender with the ability to develop any function or activity proposed. Which immediately became a success for all girls.
The Barbie empire is not limited to the representation of the blonde doll with a bikini or doing multiple things, Barbie makes up imaginary characters which are identified with all existing races of mankind, for example the second most famous doll line is Teresa, the brown-haired girl and Barbie’s best friend, she is a latina or Kira, the Asian doll , which was popular in the 90s. There is also a teen available and that’s Kelly, the little doll who can be Barbie’s daughter. But one of the most famous and best-seller is Ken, the eternal boyfriend and husband of the doll.
Beyond achieving the representation of human’s diversity and fashion, Barbie, only by being mentioned, brings back the childhood of every girl who had a doll, from extensive collections of dolls, to just one. Barbie joins the girls, after hours and hours of creating fantasies, where they can be teachers, veterinaries or astronauts, Barbie represents the infinite of feeling always like a girl.
Therefore, in this preliminary plan of releasing what represents Barbie for them, Reese Witherspoon has a responsibility to connect with internal girls in each woman. We can only wait for the development of the project and its interpretation.
