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 Maybe, hopefully, societal views on gender will change in the future enough that the Barbie movie will become outdated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.
Counterpoint: A lot of things that are aggressively "of their time" end up as iconic period pieces after some twenty years.
Gosh I hope so!
