Wall Street Journalさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Wall Street JournalInstagram)「A crudely drawn world map that flashes on screen in the hit film “Barbie” turned the early global rollout of Warner Bros. Discovery’s highest-grossing movie ever into a geopolitical quagmire.⁠ ⁠ The map, which is more sketched land blobs than accurate cartography, appears briefly in a scene in which Margot Robbie’s Barbie is instructed to leave her land of beach days and dance-party nights for “the real world.” It shows a small collection of dashes decorating the image, including eight off the eastern coast of a mass labeled “Asia.” ⁠ ⁠ Viewers in some Asian markets interpreted that crude sketch as representing a demarcation known as “the nine-dash line,” referring to a claimed maritime border that China insists gives it claim to a vast swath of the South China Sea. They also saw it as yet another American entertainment industry capitulation to China. Vietnam officials banned “Barbie” in their country, and the Philippine government ordered the image be blurred. ⁠ ⁠ The story—previously untold—of how the map was designed is one of more mundane origins, people involved in making the film said. The artist who created the map wanted it to look like a child’s sketch. A team of clearance specialists reviewed each prop during production, and the film submitted more than 400 designs for approval—among them, the “real world” map. ⁠ ⁠ The map’s designers included the reference materials for the clearance department, showing how they had landed on the aesthetic, including through maps drawn by children of fellow crew members, some of the people said.⁠ ⁠ “The map in Barbie Land is a childlike crayon drawing,” said a Warner Bros. spokeswoman. “The doodles depict Barbie’s make-believe journey from Barbie Land to the ‘real world.’ It was not intended to make any type of statement.”⁠ ⁠ Read more at the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ Photo illustration: WSJ; Photo: Warner Bros./Everett Collection」9月21日 10時00分
