While the article mentions that Vietnam banned the film, it wasn’t due to religious or cultural reasons, but rather because the film’s use of a world map depicting a Chinese “nine-dash line” directly infringes on Vietnam’s sovereignty. However, the nine-dash line has been declared illegal and invalid by an international court. So, did Barbie violate international rulings in order to enter the Chinese market?
What’s wrong with homosexuality? I don’t see the problem. If there are bigots who don’t want to watch the movie, they can stay home, or go watch another movie somewhere else.
It’s crazy that France was once known as the country and culture that really pushed the envelope when it came to sexual representation. A once open country that had some interesting quirks would rather button up their coats and hide rather than confront a population that wants to act like certain people or things don’t exist.
