Opinion/Movie Review
By Ben Shapiro 7-22-23, foreword by George Miller, 7-24-23
Conservative Jewish commentator Ben Shapiro achieved fame and the undying hatred of Hollywood with his expose, Primetime Propaganda: The True Hollywood Story of How the Left Took Over Your TV. He said the research was easy because they assumed he was just one of them back then.
This time he reviews, deconstructs and basically destroys the Barbie movie. It needed destroying.
Shapiro claims that his own producers practically dragged him kicking and screaming to see the movie. The result is a tour de force review by Shapiro panning it- detailed, biting, clever and insightful.
Warning- do not take your kids and do not waste your money, enrich Hollywood and add to the Barbie movie’s popularity. Also see the Movieguide Review, “Barbie: Politically Correct Illusions in Pink“.
Briefly, Shapiro’s conclusions, in summary, are that it is:
– Poorly made, except for “production values”.
-Inconsistent and often illogical in plot and character portrayal.
– Sorely lacking in humor- weak, forced.
– Highly “woke”, politicized, mean-spirited, corrosively divisive re: women vs men
– Deeply disturbing.
– Definitely not something for the kiddies and a waste of time and money for you.
Along the way, Shapiro barbeques Barbie and Ken- literally:
The Left is trying to write off this powerful review video as some sort of Conservative “Karen” rant (search it and see for yourself), but also watch the review for yourself (click below) and decide. This is threatening to them as it exposes it and the leftist thinking behind it for what it really is.
