![]() The man cannot, under any circumstances, shut the fuck up, and in the process, tells us a lot more about himself than he does about Barbie. However, self-editing is not one of Shapiro’s fortes. If he’d ended it there, I’d still have disagreed with his assessment and still found the move a bit weird, but would have had to applaud his brevity. ![]() Then, a jump cut shows the Barbie doll in the trash can, about to be set alight by Ben’s manly match. Shapiro tosses the Barbie over his shoulder towards a trash can, but he misses the shot. He actually starts his review by holding a rather phallic toy atomic bomb (to represent the other new film of the moment, Oppenheimer), and a Barbie doll in the other. “Shapiro ridicules the ‘wokeness’ of having Issa Rae (a black woman! Like Kamala! Absurd!) play the president, as well as the existence of an all-female Supreme Court in Barbieland.” I don’t think he understood it, which was good for me, because I try not to learn too much about movies before I watch them. But luckily, Shapiro’s review told me very little about the film. I worried that watching a review that’s a little shy of half the run time of the film itself would give away the entire plot of the movie. He speaks like an auctioneer unsuccessfully trying to argue his way into a club with a bouncer, and listening to his voice elicits the feeling of standing in line behind a person ranting over nothing and wasting everybody’s time.īut I soldiered on, a martyr for the cause (writing a thing I agreed to write before I realized how annoying the process would be). I had never seen Ben Shapiro speak for more than a few seconds before I watched his Barbie review and was shocked at how accurate all of the Ben Shapiro impressions out there are. When he described the blockbuster film thusly: “It’s as though you were going to make Toy Story except the toys are all evil, they’re all bad, and you’re supposed to hate them and you’re supposed to burn them.” I thought: Ben, are you OK? Show me where the doll hurt you.
