Emily St. James, a movie critic and a trans woman, found the Barbie movie “deeply frustrating and strangely resonant.” The movie includes a trans actress, Dr. Barbie; I assume that’s the resonant part. But Emily St. James says the movie leaves little room outside the binary female/male.
Really? I just can’t enjoy the movie? We have to drag this in? I consider myself a sensitive and tolerant person, but sometimes I just get exhausted.
See Emily St. James, “Barbie and Ken and Nothing in Between, “New York Times, (Aug. 17, 2023), p. C2.
Yeah. Not every film needs to be a stand for social justice. In fact, why does every writer, artist, or film producer need to take every social justice cause into consideration when they create whatever they're creating?
