Appreciate adding some nuance to the discorse of this movie other than it's awful. My teacher at my Christian school would use movies and TV to show that the world as you said,"gets so close" to realizing that there are standards or morals that transend time and mere human nature. I usually try to find biblical truth in whatever I watch, even if some might just see media as completely corrupt and evil. Really refreshing perspective, keep up the great work and God bless
Thank you! And yeah I think it’s a really helpful thing to be looking out for. Obviously there’s a place for calling out evil in the world, but I don’t think it should be our default posture. I read a really good book called ‘Making Faith Magnetic’ by Daniel Strange, which is basically about that approach.
@@travs8048 so if a non-Christian tells you that life is important, stealing is bad, and it’s important to have good friends, are they wrong because they aren’t taking those things from the Bible? Or do they know those things to be true because they’re under God’s common grace and made in his image? And if it’s the latter, why can’t we explain to them the real reason why those things are true?
I can find a lot of ways to satirize and subvert this movie's messages to make it into something I believe is an accurate depicrion of the struggles between the genders... but the scene where Gloria and Barbie wake up the barbies by complaining about the "cognitive dissonance" of the "double standards" placed on women "under a patriarchy" is not a picture of "spreading the truth." ITS A METAPHORIACAL RECREATION OF THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION. It leads into a commentary on how women use their wiles to undermine men and how men suffer under a matriarchal society. While there are some good observations about human nature, one problem i had is that there's no real reconciliation. Barbie and Ken are supposed to be made for each other, but the movie ends with man and women not need each other. It comes off as men need women. Women only humor the men.
I really didn't like the Barbie movie first time i watched it, because I only saw the feminist propaganda one dimentional side of the movie, now after I rewatched it i think it is great and much more thoughful
Yeah I feel like that’s quite a common experience. People expected it to be all feminist propaganda and missed that it was much more nuanced and thoughtful. Glad you ended up appreciating it though, I think it’s great
It was about an hour and a half in. She brought the other Barbies into the back of the van and then walked them through the book of Romans. I think I even saw a few copies of Keller’s Romans study guide in the dream-houses.
when she rejected the worldliness of shallow materialism and an immortal dead womb for a life All Toil is Meaningless (Ecclesiastes) and the potential to become a mother and age (and die), which she praised openly.

Look for biblical truth in your Bible my friend. Don't let the world try and give you biblical truth it is corrupted. Let God and His word do that.

No one should ever use a worldly movie as a method of spreading Christian principles.

I'm dumbfounded. When did barbie preach repentance and faith in the Son of God in this movie.
I think you really missed the point of the video
