Three movies have made a debut this summer to large audiences. Barbie, Oppenheimer and Sound of Freedom. Below is a brief review of the three movies.

 

Barbie

The giant toy maker Mattel captured young girls with Barbie from the 1960’s forward. This summer Mattel’s Barbie has taken a road with a feminist, LGBTQP and transgender twist.

While the dominant media fawns over the trans and feminist Barbie characters with all the pink you can handle, they cross promote the clothing line and lifestyle. It’s a lifestyle that runs contrary to standard family norms and values, emasculates men and repels most families.

When introduced in 1961, the commercial teased “Get both Barbie and Ken and see where the romance will lead!” Over the years we find out that not only is Ken not Barbie’s boyfriend he’s turned to the homosexual side. All the while Barbie was shaping the minds and ideas of young girls to hold the values of the famous doll. We always knew Barbie was a career girl and over the years found that she had about 200 different careers! Can we say confusing?

MovieGuide founder Dr. Ted Baehr told CBN Faithwire that “The movie is worse than you could possibly expect.” He added that “It’s hardcore propaganda… ‘Barbie’ just is terrible.”

Here are a few highlights from the Barbie movie: In the Barbie movie it should come as no surprise that Ken plays the role of a homosexual villain and Barbie wants nothing to do with him. The trans Barbie doctor is a main character that appears throughout the whole movie.

Another feminist surprise are little girls who smash their baby dolls and slap them saying “Girls don’t have to be mothers anymore.” Baehr said “Barbie” is “hardcore feminist” and paints men as the “problem” in society.

The movie attacks “Patriarchy: Barbieville is “good” because they removed the men, and the women are now in charge. There are Gestures towards private areas and jokes about missing parts.

Two homosexual lovers admire Ken. A female Barbie role played by cross-dressing trans male actor are just a few of the scenarios.

It should come as no surprise that conservative commentators like Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk, The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro, and others have spoken against the indoctrination agenda of transgender model and actor Hari Nef, playing the role of Doctor Barbie.

Kirk called the film “trans propaganda” and “the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen”. Shapiro called the movie “woke”—and burned a Barbie doll in effigy! Christian movie review site, MovieGuide, stated, “Warning: Don’t take your daughter to Barbie.”

Beware: This is not your Mother’s or your Grandmother’s Barbie or Ken! And for all the wrong reasons!

MovieGuide said the company’s content approach is a “grievous mistake.” The alleged issues with “Barbie” come as other brands like Target and Bud Light have made headlines over their handling of LGBTQP issues.

The Walt Disney Company has struggled in recent months with revenue losses nearing $900 million for recent theatrical releases.

 

Oppenheimer

Various viewers have said that the movie Oppenheimer is “challenging”, “thought provoking”, “rewarding” and more. The movie is about J. Robert Oppenheimer, a Jewish American physicist who is credited with inventing the atomic bomb. He was also known for contributing heavily to the advancement of quantum science and nuclear physics.

His association with the Manhattan Project led to the development of the first nuclear weapons in the US, and in July 1945 the first nuclear bomb test. Within a month of that test the US had dropped two nuclear bombs on Japanese cities. To date the only actual use of nuclear weapons in warfare.

Oppenheimer was appointed to the US Atomic Energy Commission and opposed development of the hydrogen bomb. He eventually had his security clearances revoked and was removed from further association with government military projects due to claims he was affiliated with the Communist Party, USA. He was on a FBI list for “arrest in case of national emergency”

 

The Movie

The summer movie offering which opened in July has an “R” rating meaning it is targeted at a mature audience aged 17 and above. The rating is due to graphic sex scenes, nudity, profanity, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking and gory descriptions of war.

The movie has also been criticized and condemned as being “anti-Hindu” because it quotes the Bhagavad Gita where it says “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds” while the main character is engaged in sexual intercourse.

Indian Government information commissioner, Uday Mahurkar said the movie makes a “scathing attack on Hinduism.” Mahurkar, quoted in the NY Post didn’t understand the “motivation and logic behind this unnecessary scene on life of a scientist.” He went on to say that he considers the sex scene “a direct assault on religious beliefs of a billion tolerant Hindus.”

For what purpose does a movie need to have explicit sexual scenes in it anyway? I’m old enough to recall when no movies had sex scenes in them! Those movies were far superior in quality acting and storyline than most recent movies. Some countries have CG obscured actress Florence Pugh’s nudity by putting a dress over her nudity including Bangladesh, India, Indonesia and the Middle East.

The movie sex scenes have created a stir in other countries. What redeeming value does a sex scene add to who the man was and what he did? Unlike the Hindu objections, I haven’t heard any voices of protest against it from Christian churches, pastors or groups. Is that a reflection on the state of morality in America? The church at large seems to have no protest when community standards are violated. Silence usually indicates tacit agreement.

 

Sound of Freedom

While Barbie and Oppenheimer were expected to be box office smashes, Sound of Freedom caught many of the media pundits and critics flatfooted and off guard. They never saw it coming because they never thought enough people cared about what’s actually going on with child sex trafficking. Surprise! They did!

The movie is based on the real life experience of Tim Ballard. He is played by actor Jim Caviezel in the movie. Ballard was a former agent for Homeland Security conducting rescue missions to retrieve a brother and sister.

The movie portrays abduction and trafficking as perpetrated by strangers. Experts say that child sex trafficking often takes place with familiar faces. In fact, many groomers befriend children in hopes to lure them into a “safe” environment to either sexually abuse the children themselves or traffick them.

Many of the children are theorized to have been trafficked for a unique substance found in their blood when traumatized called adrenochrome. Caviezel has shared his belief that many Hollywood elite are traumatizing and then killing children to harvest the substance from their blood in an anti-aging effort.

Caviezel, along with SC resident and retired attorney turned innkeeper Lin Wood have both promoted the idea that child sex trafficking is part of the scheme to harvest adrenochrome.

SC has child sex trafficking in “every corner of the state,” says SC Human Trafficking Task Force Director Katheryn Moorehead.

Moorehead said on WYFF-4 news that “The Sound of Freedom,” movie now in theaters, is helping bring awareness to human trafficking. She said that the film is encouraging.

Moorehead said “I think, as more awareness is brought to the crime, that positions people in the community to be able to identify it and report it.”
