Rollerblade Ken
In the film “Barbie”, Ken is portrayed by Ryan Gosling as a character who represents the traditional male counterpart in Barbieland where he is content being just Ken without any aspirations for individuality or power. He later embarks on a transformative journey when exposed to the real world, where he faces rejection and experiences a profound sense of emptiness. This awakening leads him to challenge the toxic patriarchal society he once embraced and ultimately become an embodiment of the film' s critique on toxic masculinity while emphasizing the significance of personal growth and authenticity.
