Kuwait and Lebanon ban Barbie movie for supporting homosexuality

The ‘Barbie’ movie is now prohibited in Kuwait, the newest nation to do so. Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie’ movie is still the subject of ongoing controversy.

Kuwait has reportedly become the most recent nation to outlaw the movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Vietnam previously had a prohibition on it.

According to local sources, Lafi Al-Subaie, the head of the country’s film censorship commission, has charged the movie with “carrying ideas that encourage unacceptable behavior and distort society’s values.”

It’s also conceivable that Lebanon will outlaw “Barbie.” Barbie “promotes homosexuality,” according to culture minister Mohammad Mortada, and “contravenes values of faith and morality” by downplaying the value of the family, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

  • Kuwait bans ‘Barbie’ movie; ongoing controversy.
  • Film censorship commission charges movies with harmful ideas.
  • Barbie premiered on July 21, competing with Oppenheimer.

The movie “Barbie,” starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, debuted in theaters on July 21. It had competition at the box office from Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.”

Despite receiving unfavorable reviews, the movie became one of 2023’s top earners so far. Interestingly, “Barbie” and filmmaker Greta became the first film directed completely by a woman to surpass USD 1 billion in worldwide box office income over the past weekend.
