Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.
Woman in real life literally told me “this is the first movie I’ve watched that makes me feel seen”
and I have never seen a mainstream movie the bashes leftists and feminists as much as Barbie did. so glad you met a woman who agrees with you, good for you! you want a gold star? the barbie movie was deeply mean-spirited, like one of the most I've ever seen directed by women, if you want me to provide a personal anecdote it reminded me of being called a "removed" my entire life since the age of 6. it reminds me of being bullied for thinking that girls aren't shallow empty creatures, it portrays people who critique capitalism as bullies who don't let women exits as they are. feminism is not a popularity contest, just because capitalists have found a version of feminism that is highly profitable doesn't mean you need to call that feminism. I'm sorry your idea of feminism is so shallow and useless. like as a former little girl I can tell you this movie would not have been good for me to watch, it basically tells women to shut up and consume or else they are a mean angry feminists. this movie has done more harm to feminism than it could promote feminism. look at this thread! you are all just parroting the feminist-bashing message of the movie. also your friends should watch more movies, there are disnely channel movies with the same message as barbie but without the anti feminist pro-capitalist messaging.
Genuinely thank you for saying this
ive seen it 4 times with different friends, maybe you should watch it again because holy shit if you think a throw away joke about how MEN are bad and not capitalism redeems the movie feminist bashing I don't know what to tell you. also you missed the part where the "bully" character learns to stop worrying and love barbie uncritically beside some quips like mentioning the concept of white feminism before the narrative proves her wrong every time. like most of her lines are JOKES at the expense of feminists, its not just the scene its the whole movie. this movie is one of the best anti feminist movie in the sense that it gotten so many people to uncritically bash ACTULL feminist thoughts and ideas and reduce them into jokes.
I guess i just read it as a “wow gen z is so real #slay” bit joking about kids roasting adults, I can understand reading it that way though and it makes more sense to
you wanna get obnoxious and emotional? fine this movie quite literally reminded me vierserally and painfully in the theater of cw sexual assault
spoiler
MANY MANY men threatening to rape/ beat the "removed" out of me. it reminded me of being beaten with hockey stick in middle school by white girls for not liking feminine things enough and being labeled an angry lesbian in middle school. i reminded me of everytime is was told to shut up, or that I was talking to much about injustice, it reminded me of every white woman who has condescended to me. it reminded me of constantly being the joke of the family for not laughing at misogynistic jokes. this movie is MEAN this movie is shitty towards anyone outside the strict box they pretend feminsim iswith that context it makes sense you would hate it, there isn’t really any actual intersectional solidarity or analysis in the film or anything. I’m sorry for invalidating you like that
i really appreciate you your apology. have a good day comrade. and I DO see your points.
sorry again
nooooo worries comrade!! thanks for hearing me out!
