SERIOUS WARNINGS TO PARENTS issued by The “Movie Guide” Founder and Film Critic
Deeply Concerning Elements.
WARNING: LGBTQ themes in the movie are “EXTREMELY OVERT” and “NOT SUBTLE.”
WARNING: “Barbie” is “hardcore feminist” and paints men as the “problem” in society.
Movie guide founder Dr. Ted Baehr is issuing a no-holds-barred warning to parents considering taking their children to see the new “Barbie” movie, sounding the alarm on what he says are deeply concerning elements.
ABSOLUTE” RED FLAG” for this CHILDRENS MOVIE
“The movie is worse than you could possibly expect,” Baehr told CBN’s Faithwire after screening it.
The leading Christian film critic said the movie opens with a scene featuring girls playing with baby dolls and the children “bash them and slap them” and proclaim something along the lines of, “We don’t have to be mothers anymore.”
Baehr said “Barbie” is “hardcore feminist” and paints men as the “problem” in society.
“Barbie has to leave because she’s not adapting to … this hate of the patriarchal society, although she hates Ken,” he said.
“Men are the villain and … there are a couple of trans people playing characters — Barbies.” He said the latter issue carries with it a message that’s damaging to young girls, calling it “an attack on women” and men alike.
“You’re saying to those little girls who go to see this movie that some little boy can be a better girl than that little girl,” he said.
“It’s an attack on men.”
As for the LGBTQ themes in the movie, Baehr said they are “extremely overt” and “not subtle.”
Hoyts: Rated as PG
NOTE: PG: Parental Guidance Suggested, “Some Material May Not Be Suitable for Children”. The film should be investigated further by parents.
There may be some content such as: language, violence or brief nudity, but they aren't so intense that more than guidance is suggested.
CONTENT LISTED BY HOYTS:
→ Mild crude humour,
→ innuendo,
→ coarse language and
→ slapstick violence.
HOYTS REVIEW: Eccentric and individualistic, Barbie is exiled from Barbieland because of her imperfections. When her home world is in peril, Barbie returns...
To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place.
Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you’re a Ken.
