Outside the theatre, excited fans milled around in fuchsia-tinted lighting, some posing for photos in a Barbie booth, while others brought their own Barbie dolls to the screening.
Ms Martina Santiago said she had been saddened at the possible banning of the film, which stars Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as her boyfriend Ken.The MTRCB had asked the Hollywood studio Warner Bros to blur the controversial lines “to avoid further misinterpretations”.Not all Barbie fans approved.
“That’s the part I did not like… I wish it were cut,” said Ms Margaux Pichay, 19, who otherwise thought the film was “very empowering”. When asked for comment about Warner Bros’ failure to blur the lines, the MTRCB referred AFP to their July 12 statement in which they said “the map portrayed the route of the make-believe journey of Barbie from Barbie Land to the ‘real world’, as an integral part of the story”. - AFP
