TikTokers say 'Barbie' changed their perspective on the viral 'aged' filter

• Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Barbie."
• Many TikTokers had negative experiences using the "aged" filter that's gone viral on the app.

The "Barbie" movie is making some TikTokers see themselves in a new light.

Earlier this month, the "aged" filter, designed to show people what they may look like when they age, went viral on TikTok. Users have posted over 16 million videos using the filter as of Tuesday.

Many TikTokers, including celebrities like Kylie Jenner, had negative reactions to seeing their faces lined with wrinkles or sagging, highlighting the complex feelings people have about aging, as Insider's Aimee Percy reported.

But some users said their perspective on the filter changed after seeing Greta Gerwig's "Barbie."

In the film, which had the largest opening weekend for a female director ever, Barbie, played by Margot Robbie, must go to the real world after she starts malfunctioning by developing cellulite and having thoughts of death in Barbie Land.

During her time in the real world, there is a scene where a crying Barbie notices an elderly woman, played by costume designer Ann Roth, sitting on a bench. After looking at her, Barbie says, "You're so beautiful," and the woman responds, "I know it!"

The scene is both touching and playful, as Barbie finds herself enamored with mortality rather than afraid of it.

Some TikTokers decided to try the "aged" filter again after seeing the scene, keeping Barbie's appreciation and the older woman's confidence in mind.

"Revisiting this filter after seeing Barbie, thinking of the 'you're so beautiful' scene, and realizing this face isn't so bad after all," user @sav.sun wrote on her video, which had over 1 million views on Monday.

"We should be kinder to our older faces girlies," she captioned the video.

User @planet.milo wrote, "I have newfound appreciation for this filter after seeing the barbie movie," on her video, adding that "aging is a privilege" in her caption.

And @hazelgilbert13 said seeing the movie made her want to do the filter "right" on her video, which shows her grinning and giggling.

"After watching that one Barbie scene I remembered my original reaction to this filter and decided I would do it right," she wrote on the video, which had nearly 500,000 views on Tuesday. "She looks beautiful. She looks like she lived and loved. She looks like she bakes everyone cookies."

Gerwig described the scene between Barbie and the older woman as the "heart of the movie" in an interview with Rolling Stone — although she said it was almost cut from the production.
