Maybe we did escapism a little too hard, and now we're a numb society.
I recently watched the Barbie movie with a number of really close friends and after the movie I had a troubling few hours of discontent with them. This isn't a statement about their value to me, I just found it hard to associate with the escapist nature of theur behavior after watching a movie so vehemently anti-escapist.
Spoilers for Barbie under the fold as I try to disect my thoughts a little.
