Bill Maher Trashes ‘Barbie’ As ‘Preachy, Man-Hating Zombie Lie’
09.08.2023 - 04:23 / etcanada.com
“Barbie” may be a worldwide smash hit phenomenon that’s raked in more than $1 billion (and counting) at the box office, but not everyone is a fan.
Count Bill Maher among the movie’s critics, with the “Real Time” host taking to Twitter to slam the film in a lengthy critique.
‘OK, Barbie’: I was hoping it wouldn’t be preachy, man-hating, and a #ZombieLie – alas, it was all three. What is a Zombie Lie? Something that never was true, but certain people refuse to stop saying it (tax cuts for the rich increase revenues, e.g.); OR something that USED to be true but no longer is, but certain people pretend it’s still true. ‘Barbie’ is this kind of #ZombieLie,” he began.

“Spoiler alert, Barbie fights the Patriarchy. Right up to the Mattel board who created her, consisting of 12 white men! The Patriarchy! Except there’s a Mattel board in real life, and it’s 7 men and 5 women. OK, not perfect even-steven, but not the way the board IN THE MOVIE – which takes place in 2023 – is portrayed. And not really any longer deserving of the word ‘patriarchy.’ Yes, there was one, and remnants of it remain – but this movie is so 2000-LATE,” Maher continued.
“At one point the Barbies have to win over the Kens, and they are told to do it by pretending to act helpless and not know how to do stuff. Helen Gurley Brown called, she wants her premise back,” he wrote, referencing the feminist editor of Cosmopolitan magazine.
“Yes, that WAS a thing. I saw ‘Barbie’ with a woman in her 30s who said, ‘I don’t know a single woman of any age who would act like that today,'” Maher added.
