The expectation for the premiere of the ‘Barbie’ movie has been increasing. It has become one of the most anticipated releases of the year. Everyone talks about the film, the actors, the director and… yes, the prohibitions.

One of the controversies that has arisen around the film centers on a particular scene that has led two Asian countries, Vietnam and the Philippines, to consider banning the film. The scene shows the so-called “nine-point line” in the South China Sea, a territorial dispute between China and other countries in the region. While Vietnam has announced its ban, the Philippines has yet to make a final decision on it.

This territorial dispute has generated tensions and caused the countries involved to consider the inclusion of this scene in the film offensive. Although there are alternatives for the premiere in the prohibited countries, such as changing the map, removing the scene or showing a disclaimer, the final decision is yet to be defined.

Despite this, ‘Barbie’ has not stopped generating expectation. The leads, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, have started their promotional career causing great enthusiasm among fans.

In addition, the film’s soundtrack features the participation of renowned artists such as Nicki Minaj, Fifty Fifty, Ice Spice, Gayle, Tame Impala and The Kid Laroi, adding an additional element of emotion to the cinematic experience.

However, some hints have been given about the comic tone of the fight scenes and the verbal references to death present in the plot.

Another controversy that has surrounded the tape has to do with its alleged violation of the values ​​of Mattel, the company behind the iconic doll. Richard Dickson, Mattel’s president and COO, visited the film’s London set during production to discuss with the director and lead actress, Margot Robbie, about a specific aspect of the script that did not align with the brand’s ideals. .
