Leftists changing overall theme of Barbie from "be feminine" to "hate men".


The woke world is a sad one.

"Hate men", or "don't take any shit from men"?

People who've seen the movie, tell me which one is more correct!

reply

A bit of both, I think. The message of the film is muddled and can be interpreted in different ways. I have seen some reviews on Letterboxd where women say that they hate men. And I do think the film encourages hatred towards men. Some fans of the film will get mad at me for saying that, but it is true.

reply

Yes, some women hate men, and some men hate women. It's just a fact of life, and was long before the movie came out.

reply

I think the correct one. "Is just treat them like shit and if they ask for a Supreme Court seat. Tell them to fuck off. " You do know that the real Supreme Court has more just men on it, right.

I didn't think men were portrayed all that great in the movie but I also think the film tries to have it both ways and pretty much pulls it off. I think its intention is that no gender deserves to be relegated to powerless.


If anyone's interested, I reviewed the movie on my youtube channel. Appreciate any feedback. Trying to improve -https://youtu.be/PtDw-zgDhPI

Good review. I agree with a lot of what you said, but I think you liked it more than I did. I rated Barbie a 6/10.

Haven't seen it but Ken seems like a 'bizzaro' version of atomic age housewives. A revenge fantasy for the 2nd wave feminists who took over the Barbie brand. I doubt the point is that Ken gets what he deserves.
