It’s about time Kuwait took the reins! Let’s go!
Not a grown adult traveling by car to watch a 90 minute long movie
Adults can decide how to best spend their free time. The officials in the government of Kuwait, by dictating what citizens and residents can and cannot watch, are treating everyone like children.
governments all around the world dictates what should or should no be allowed in their country, why is this wrong?
because the government isn’t elected or chosen by the people
Seriously?🤣
Saudi Border Patrol: What’s the purpose of your visit?
Barbie Girls & GentleKen piled up in the car: To see the Barbie movie! 😁
Lol while all dressed in pink
What are you planning on wearing Mark? You’d look good in really large Bono shades with rose colored lens.
All this for a movie ? what a Tucked up world
I’m just being silly although if I REALLY wanted to watch a certain movie I have zero issues with driving down to watch it
Loving the passive aggressive vibe of this post 😂
If people are worried their kids are gonna turn gay from a movie (and I watched Barbie, has nothing in it not even kissing) then the problem is with parents upbringing not the film
If people think one movie will be responsible for the “brainwashing” of grown ups and children alike, they’re the one who are being naive here. It’s not about this one movie.. it’s about it being one of the many movies (along basically any media) that banned before and will be banned in the future. It got banned because it progresses their agenda of alternating cultures and alienating people from their own culture and sources of morality and sense of right and wrong, one movie/tv show/music video/video game…etc. at a time. But rejoice! you’re a certified cultured open-minded supporter of humanity!
And the problem if one’s culture becomes different from their family’s is…?
Or do you claim that you still follow the culture of your cave man ancestors?
If your foundations are weak then anything, not just LGBT, will sway you. I watched Rambo 3 in the cinema when I was 7 in 1988. Did I turn to a killer?
yall can watch barbie on sflix online
few years ago a bollywood movie was banned in kuwait. One of my friend flew to dubai to watch that particular movie. 90 kd was the price for the return ticket.
It has been a couple of years since I left the region (circa the time Saudi started permitting women to drive) and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine going over there to do something that is restricted in Kuwait. What next, head over to grab a pint?
Same!
I recall there’s an AMC in Hafr AlBatin, but I think it’s being reconstructed.
Yup it’s the closest but it’s closed at the moment, no movies playing there
Trolling rocks
Kuwait needs to get its shit together, we are moving backwards and primitive.
I’m all for anarchism, but… is it really worth it for Barbie? 😛
Kuwait banning movies that Saudi Arabia would show… one more thing to add to the era of dystopian Kuwait…
The movie is banned in Kuwait , wake up and smell the coffee

🤦🏼♂️
Its just a movie afterall. Dont know why so much news around it. Thanks Kuwait for the bold decision.
Because it’s not just about the movie. The movie is a movie but the reason it was banned is why everyone is up in arms about it. It wasn’t banned because of LGBTQ content, that content was already censored and removed from the film which is why Saudi and UAE have now released the film.
On the other hand the international media are heavily covering this ban because it’s newsworthy since Kuwait and Lebanon are the only two countries in the region to ban the film and from my understanding Lebanon is backtracking now and might release it.
