The Barbie movie continues to attract various takes from industry players, with the latest coming from legendary horror filmmaker John Carpenter as he admits the critically acclaimed fantasy comedy left him confused.Speaking with the Los Angeles Times, Carpenter offered a humorous review of Barbie after recently watching the Greta Gerwig-helmed movie, conceding he struggled to follow the film at times. Carpenter doesn’t think Barbie was made for people like him but believes he has an idea of what it was about. “I watched ‘Barbie.’ I can’t believe I watched ‘Barbie.’ It’s just not my generation. I had nothing to do with Barbie dolls. I didn’t know who Allan was. I mean, I can sum it up. She says, ‘I don’t have a vagina,’ and then at the end, ‘I’m going to go to a gynecologist!’ That’s the movie to me,” he said.Known for his acclaimed work on the Halloween franchise, Assault on Precinct 13 and the Escape film series, it’s understandable why Barbie was a departure from the norm for the 75-year-old filmmaker. Though the movie and some of its nuances took a while to grasp, Carpenter had praise for star Margot Robbie, hailing her performance at the central character, Stereotypical Barbie. “I mean, there’s a patriarchy business in there, but I missed that whole thing. Right over my head. But I think she’s fabulous, Margot Robbie,” he said.RELATED: How Barbie’s Final Two Outfits Tie Into Her Ending
