A Barbie Movie Critique
I don’t understand it. Perhaps I should. The idea of making Barbie a feminist icon, a warrior for half the world, eludes me. Of all the heroines who gave their lives to place women on equal footing, gave them the vote, a voice in their future - why a doll?

A Walk To Remember
The popular, rebellious teenager Landon Carter is threatened with expulsion from school after he and his friends leave evidence of underage drinking on the school grounds and seriously injure another student as the result of a prank. The head of the school gives Landon the choice of being expelled or atoning for his actions by tutoring fellow students and participating in the school play. During these functions, Landon notices Jamie Sullivan, a girl he has known since kindergarten and who has attended many of the same classes as him, and who is also the local minister's daughter. Since he's one of the in-crowd, he has seldom paid any attention to Jamie, who wears modest dresses all the time and owns only one sweater. She makes no attempt to wear make-up or otherwise improve her looks or attract attention to herself.

My First Critique- Ordinary People(1980)
Ordinary People is about a family dealing with loss, disconnection, and trauma. A young son has been struggling to deal with more of his pain between his beloved father & coldhearted mother. He has to find a way to heal himself more because of his therapist who has faith in him.

Barbie (2023)
Superficial fluff cleverly tackling existential and crucial issues affecting humanity. Immature men denied feminine love chase the consolation of respect through patriarchy, gaining attention from women who savour their newfound lack of responsibility.

Fifty Shades of. . . Why, Exactly?
The Fifty Shades of Grey franchise has been nothing short of shocking since its release. From books to films, the story is less of a nod to the BDSM community and more of a glamorization of outdated “romance” tropes that show women that love should hurt. Highly would not recommend.
