Just got out of Barbie. Fun. Clever. Insightful. Worth seeing. But let me tell you... I've been a preacher for almost thirty years. I *know* how a room feels when people are not just listening with their ears but are "with you" to their very depths.

And that moment, when mom is talking about the tension inherent in being a woman, that moment was pin-drop silent. Every person in the room was hearing the structural problem of patriarchy laid out in clear, relatable, evocative terms.

I can see why some in the right-wing shouting class are up in arms about this movie. And I suspect that this silly, nostalgia-packed movie about a toy is gonna change some hearts and minds--because that was a whole sermon, and the church was listening with open and receptive hearts.
