Such an incredible steaming pile of liberal garbage that it almost seemed satirical. The supposed intention of the film was to empower women, but instead did nothing but tear down men. Men are leaving this movie feeling bad about being a man, and feeling like they owe something to women, which is all a part of the gaslight that the directors were aiming for. Women, on the other hand, feel as though they must rave about how good this movie is, because in what world other than an imaginary world is the world run entirely by women? The answer is that there are in fact no real worlds run entirely by women, but there are also no real worlds run entirely by men, despite what the left wing media wants you to believe. The idea that a world could be run by entirely one gender is preposterous, and all attempts to do so have failed. The film also takes unnecessary shot’s at capitalism, which served as comedic relief for me and my friends, because brands such as Mattel, Chevrolet, and Barbie itself are all featured heavily in the movie, and all have reaped incredible benefits from a capitalist society. My final point will outline the different ways that the film sexualized everything from women to kids to men. If I were a woman I would be appalled at the film’s suggestion that sexualization is empowerment. Being comfortable in your body does not mean showing it off to everyone that walks down the street, and being uncomfortable in your body does not mean you are in the wrong body, because that accuses the Creator of making a mistake, which he is incapable of doing. I am also appalled by the sexualization of children in the film which is becoming so normalized in our society by the radical left wing media. Barbies are a child’s toy, so, naturally, kids are going to be seeing this film which the directors are well aware of. With that in mind, I ask many questions: Why is Barbie wearing such a small dress? Why is a Barbie always worried about her looks and claiming to be perfect? Why are there homosexual and trans characters and actors? Why are men in the movie shown catcalling and staring at women’s bodies? Why are the women portrayed as the victims when they are actually oppressing the men? There are many other questions I have, but these are just a few that outline content that is not kid friendly. To be fair, it is rated PG-13, but why on earth does a film about a child’s toy have to have PG-13 content when they know the children will be watching??? I saw this movie as just another ploy by the left wing media to attack our kids and plant ideology into young girls heads that they are nothing but victims of men’s oppression, and they should use their bodies to get what they want. It is also harmful to men, because they are gaslit into feeling wrong for “an entire history of male oppression and patriarchy.” In conclusion, I feel as though I have made my ideas clear that this movie is not for kids, and no one should allow their child to be brainwashed by such a film. And to all the adults, go watch a real movie that makes you think and challenges you, such as Oppenheimer. I pray for anyone who sees The Barbie Movie as a positive for women and anyone who is “empowered” by being a sexualized entity.
