Alright, so y’all wanna know about this Barbie movie, huh? Heard folks talkin’ ’bout it, some sayin’ it’s good, some sayin’ it ain’t. Well, let me tell ya what I think, even though I ain’t no fancy movie critic or nothin’. I just seen it, and I got some things to say.
First off, this movie, it ain’t just for little girls playin’ with dolls. Naw, it’s got grown-up stuff in it too. Big ideas, they call ’em. Stuff about who we are, what we’re supposed to be, and all that. It made me think, that’s for sure. Made me think about how things used to be and how they are now.
Some folks, they sayin’ this movie is bad for Christians. They sayin’ it’s got the wrong messages, that it ain’t godly. Well, I don’t know about all that. I reckon you can find good and bad in just about anythin’, dependin’ on how you look at it. And this Barbie movie, well, it’s got some good in it, that’s for sure.
- It shows you that bein’ perfect ain’t everything. Barbie, she looks all perfect on the outside, but she’s got problems on the inside, just like the rest of us.
- It tells you that it’s okay to be different. All them Barbies, they look different, they act different, and that’s just fine. God made us all different, didn’t he?
- It makes you think about how men and women treat each other. That’s somethin’ we all need to think about, ain’t it? Treatin’ each other with respect, that’s what the Good Book tells us.
Now, I ain’t gonna lie, there’s some stuff in there that might make ya squirm a bit. Some of the jokes, they a little… well, they ain’t Sunday school jokes, let’s put it that way. And there’s some talk about things that maybe we don’t talk about so much in church. But that don’t mean the whole movie is bad.
See, I think sometimes we Christians, we get too caught up in judgin’ everything. We forget that we ain’t perfect ourselves. We forget that God loves us even when we mess up. And maybe, just maybe, this Barbie movie is tryin’ to tell us somethin’ about that.
It’s tryin’ to tell us that we need to look past the surface. We need to see people for who they are on the inside, not just what they look like on the outside. And we need to love each other, even when we don’t agree on everythin’. That’s what Jesus taught us, ain’t it?
So, should you go see this Barbie movie? Well, that’s up to you. I ain’t gonna tell ya what to do. But if you do go see it, try to keep an open mind. Don’t go lookin’ for things to be offended by. Go lookin’ for the good. Go lookin’ for the message. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll find somethin’ in there that speaks to your heart.
And if you don’t like it, well, that’s okay too. Just remember, it’s just a movie. It ain’t the end of the world. We got bigger things to worry about, like gettin’ our crops in and keepin’ our families fed. But sometimes, it’s nice to just sit back, relax, and watch a movie. Even if it’s a movie about a doll.
This here movie, it got people talkin’, that’s for sure. And maybe that ain’t such a bad thing. Maybe it’s good to talk about these things, even if it’s uncomfortable sometimes. Maybe it helps us understand each other better. Maybe it helps us grow. And maybe, just maybe, it helps us see the world in a new way.
So yeah, that’s what I think about the Barbie movie. Take it or leave it. I’m just an old woman, what do I know? But I do know this: God loves us all, even the folks who made this movie, and even the folks who don’t like it. And that’s all that really matters in the end.
