‘Barbie’ Banned in Vietnam Over Disputed Map Scene​

Authorities in Vietnam have banned commercial screenings of Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie.”
The Warner Bros. film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, one of the most anticipated movies of the summer, was set to have been released in the country on July 21.
The film contains a scene that depicts a map with the “nine dash line,” a representation of China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea, which Vietnam says violates its sovereignty.
Vi Kien Thanh, director general of the Vietnam Cinema Department under the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, said on Monday that the ban was decided by the National Film Evaluation Council.

Warner Bros. has not responded to Variety’s requests for comment.



Many of China’s neighbors, including Vietnam, have competing and overlapping territorial claims and strongly dispute China’s assertions. In 2016, a United Nations disputes resolution tribunal in The Hague ruled unanimously against the validity of the ‘nine dash line.’ However, while the South China Sea arbitration was final and binding, there are no clear mechanisms for its implementation and China has said it does not recognize the decision.
“We do not grant license for the American movie ‘Barbie’ to release in Vietnam because it contains the offending image of the nine-dash line,” said the state-run Tuoi Tre newspaper, also citing Vi Kien Thanh.
Similar depictions of the “nine dash line” have previously caused problems for multiple films and TV series in Vietnam.

DreamWorks’ animated film “Abominable” was banned for the same reason in 2019 and Sony’s “Unchartered” suffered the same fate last year. Exhibitor CGV was fined for showing “Abominable,” and staff at the Vietnam Cinema Department were disciplined for not immediately spotting the offending images. The film was pulled after just over a week in cinemas.
In 2020, the series “Put Your Head On My Shoulder” and “Madam Secretary” were told to delete scenes containing the map. Meanwhile, in 2021, Netflix was ordered to removed Australian spy drama “Pine Gap” from the Vietnamese market.

I wondered what a President Barbie was

Issa Rae is President Barbie
Who is President Barbie? Yep, you guessed it: she's a version of Barbie that has been elected President.






What else has Issa Rae starred in? Rae first rose to fame due to her YouTube series Awkward Black Girl. She went on to co-create, co-write and star in her own HBO series, Insecure, for which she bagged Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. Her other credits include The Hate U Give and The Photograph.

This will be the biggest flop since cats
Nah, this will do big numbers. White girls are born thinking they are barbie and black parents who are not really in tune with how society and media program their kids buy their daughters barbie and barbie like dolls. Basically, a lot of women will see it off of GP since they grew up with it. Let's not forget indian, asian and spanish who are also programmed to believe white is right from the toys and cartoons/anime they watch. I don't see it loosing money and it will probably make several 100 M's before its all said and done.

In reality, it's because the character looks like the fucking dolls(barbie/ken). It's really as simple as that. Even if the rumors are true about all the 'anti-patriarchy' and messaging in the movie, at least they were smart enough to make the characters look like the fucking orginal IP and that is why it has a chance to do numbers.

Compare this with the upcoming Snow White. :lol: Them Asians won't know wtf that movie supposed to be about.

Senator Ted Cruz (R) Goes to War Against Barbie

Tired of beefing with Big Bird, he’s picked another pop culture icon to fight with and lose to.
