Another country has banned the worldwide blockbuster movie Barbie. After the movie Barbie was released in Algeria, it was removed from theatrical release three weeks later on the grounds that it “promotes homosexuality” and “doesn’t conform to religious and cultural beliefs”. In the news in the Algerian press, it was noted that the tickets were sold out on the days when the movie was released.
BANNED IN MANY COUNTRIES
Starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the movie has grossed more than $1 billion worldwide since its release on July 21 and has been banned in many countries. At the beginning of July, Vietnam banned it for using a “nine-dash” map showing China’s claims in the South China Sea in one scene of the movie.
Lebanon, on the other hand, announced that the movie “Barbie” would not be released in theaters on the grounds that it “promotes homosexuality” and contradicts religious values.
In order to protect “public ethics”, Kuwait decided not to release the film in question and stated that the film spread foreign ideas and beliefs to Kuwaiti society and public order.
Instead of banning the film, the Philippines decided to cut and publish the “nine-dash” map showing the territory claimed by China in the South China Sea, which is allegedly included in the film.
